    Ice cream + a family friendly stop always makes for a good time but even better when the service is so hospitable! The stunning floor to ceiling red tile seating was so beautiful. The look and feel of the ice cream spot is pure downtown magic.

    On Sunday around lunchtime, I was really impressed with the chocolate peanut butter (5/5 stars) but regret ordering the chocolate cherry ice cream (1/5 stars). It's my favorite flavor combo, but every bite had ice crystals, so either something was up with their production of this batch or their freezer/storage set up. I'm not in the area often so I'm disappointed because I'm hesitant to recommend their ice cream, which is a bummer because the other scoop was really phenomenal, but I don't know if a food safety issue or genuine mistake ruined the chocolate cherry ice cream for me.

    While in Carmel, I asked my waiter at my lunch spot for recommendations as I made my way back to Monterey. He mentioned this ice cream shop so you know I had to try this. After a short drive, I relied on my car GPS which led me to a deli about a block away. I wandered a bit before finding this small shop that faced the movie house across the street. After looking at the flavor selection, I decided to get a single in a cup with two flavors, cherries + chocolate and peaches + cream (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=KYj0wUms72B-BX3YWBZvhA); being overcast, it was on the cool side to have ice cream but it hit the spot after my post lunch hike back up the hill from the beach in Carmel. I liked both flavors as my palate leans towards fruity ones. I liked the cherry one slightly more as the chocolate gave it a bit of a bittersweet note as a change of pace. I was the only customer when I walked in but a few parents with children flowed in as I waited for my ice cream. Thank you, Jacey, for answering my questions and giving me a sweet note ending to the afternoon. There are hand packed containers in the refrigerators (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=240&select=XyAgBfjDLg_bDxzyyrRnkQ) to the side as well as souvenirs (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=240&select=BEeVu-YshGDwbdS8rr4AKw).

    Wow! On our way down to Carmel, I wanted to stop at this ice cream shop because of its reviews. So glad we did! I tried 2 flavors and told the employee "I'm sorry, but I might try 2 more." After I requested the biscoff ice cream, I laughed and said "never mind. I'm sold." They have the best biscoff ice cream that's to die for. Inside is an interesting seating arrangement so don't expect a place with tables and chairs. Staff was so nice, parking is easy (street parking). I wish they had other locations! Would love to come back and try other flavors.

    Great ice cream, love the variety of flavors. The staff is wonderful! Every time I've been in there they've been lovely. One of the guys who works there is like super nice and cute. The red seating to the right of the entrance is EVERYTHING great design & great quality ice cream

    Great ice cream and great service! First time here and the service was pleasing. Good variety of ice cream to pick from and you can ask for samples if you're unsure what to get. Decided to get the Cookie Monster flavor and it did not disappoint, would recommend! Good amount of seating and a lot of public parking

    My name is Colette...need I say more?!? I walked out of a brewery across the street from here and stopped dead in my tracks. Immediately ran across the street and found the cutest red and white ice cream shop! The ice cream was SO good! SO creamy and the staff was so nice! I did buy a t shirt and a sticker! This will definitely be a regular spot during every visit!

    Coconut ice cream has real slivers of coconut in it. Yum. Perfect dessert spot after dinner.

    I came here during a visit to the Monterey Bay Area after I had dinner nearby. I had the butter pecan scoop and it was delicious. Staff was friendly and there wasn't a really long line. I liked it so much I went back a few days later and a lot of the flavors had changed which I liked. I recommend visiting Colette's for a good scoop. Go back and try a different flavor if you've been before.

    Cherrys and chocolate ice cream.

    Colette's Ice Cream is exactly the kind of neighborhood spot you hope to find but rarely do. The shop has a very welcoming staff. They've got a balance between classic favorites and creative recipes rotated in every time we go. You can tell there's real thought and quality behind what they're serving. The kids like the odd pyramid they climb on and sit while they eat their ice cream cones.

    My daughter really enjoyed the ice cream--she ordered the Cookie Monster flavor and loved it! The staff were friendly, and the place was clean and welcoming.

    See all

    Do yourself a favor and get the coffee almond fudge ice cream in a waffle cone. It's fantastic. Service was fast too.
