    Cookie butter inside , vanilla ice cream , cookie dough and Nutella drizzle
    Linnea D.

    Crispy Cones was SO good Everything tasted super fresh and delicious, and the cone itself was warm, crispy, and honestly unlike anything I've had before. The ice cream and toppings were the perfect combo and not overly sweet. Such a cute little spot with great service too! Definitely worth the hype and I'll 100% be coming back next time I'm in San Diego

    Staff was welcoming on a Sunday afternoon. Quick service and fair price. We had the cocoa berry and it was good. Its nice you can see them making the bread cone. Also nice that they have wet wipes available because it can get sticky when it melts.

    My first time here was when it first opened. The line was out the door but moved pretty quickly. I ordered from the girl at the counter and she was helpful and answered all my questions. I proceeded down the line and watched the process. It was fun watching them make the pastry cones and then roll them in sugar. I got the cookie butter spread pastry cone. It had a lot of flavor and was so filling I could barely finish it. Parking can be a challenge but it depends on when you go. Otherwise, it's a nice dessert spot anytime!

    Just the cone!  Delish!!

    I waited a long time to try this place! I wanted to really taste the cone so I ordered a cone with cookie butter melted inside-delish! Loved the Sugar pastry which is warm and shaped like a. Ice cream cone. It tasted like a sugar croissant. Loved it! Bring your family and friends!! No line during the week days!

    Ambiance..cute place and tou can watch them make the cones in front of you. You walk in advance thr menu is on back wall on TV or they have aome on cashier Seevice..friendly and fast Food..amazing idea..so many choices and a little confusing. They have 2 diff cones..one special and regular..choose the spread..the ice cream flavor..toppings and sauce too. The cone was so soft and not hard..easy to pull apart. The ice cream was soft and not too sweet. Big enough to share.

    Had pizza down the street so decided to try this for dessert. I had heard good things but yelp definitely has some mixed reviews. My experience was 5 stars all around from the staff to the ice cream . The menu on the wall is pretty self explanatory and the brownie royale looked so good . Little pricey but for the experience it was good . Everything about it was great but what really set it apart was the cinnamon sugar cone. I was shocked at how good this taste , I literally could have eaten just that with no ice cream and enjoyed it thoroughly. It was so soft and it was so good !! I wonder if it's possible if I could just order the cone itself lol. I'll be back for that cone , don't you worry!

    These cones reminded us of the cones we had in Europe, fresh baked and topping around the side. Soft serve on top of filling in your cone. This was too much though, would love smaller size options. Delicious and infinite options for flavor combinations! Additionally the location is beautiful right in the heart of town with the ocean just around the corner.

    Crispy Cones People might come here out of curiosity, but it may be difficult to turn first-time visitors into regular customers. The ice cream is quite sweet, so I personally wouldn't be able to eat it often because it's a bit too sweet for my taste. As for the ice cream and cone, the price is somewhat high compared to the general market. I understand that the beach location may be the reason for the higher prices. The shop is beautiful, clean, and not very big. All the staff are very sweet and friendly to customers. Parking can be a bit difficult since it's located near the beach. Food: 1/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 3/5

    Saw this place posted all over Instagram and tik tok so I decided to try it out. I was quite shocked at the prices of the items here. The crispy cone - what this place is known for - goes for $10. It is a unique product of the store but I wasn't expecting this price. I personally don't think this food item has very good value. The crispy cone altogether was large in portion size but the soft serve was nothing to write home about. It is less creamy than Costco soft serve for context (and you get less than Costco as well). The cone itself was tasty but nothing particularly special and I wish the cone would've been flakier. I think grabbing some ice cream and a churro at a local spot would be a delicious cheaper alternative. The toppings were just standard ice cream shop toppings. I felt like they did skimp a little bit on the toppings which can be seen in the photos. The employees were nice. It took a while for each item to be made probably because each crispy cone requires a lot of assembly. I do also wish that there was a space inside or outside to sit and enjoy the treat but it's more like a grab and go type of place. Overall, I didn't think the crispy cone and ice cream were good enough to justify the price. I don't think I would come back.

    The soft serve is creamy and smooth but the cone was pretty bad. It was supposed to be the star of the show but it really just left me confused. Maybe we came during an off time so they weren't fresh, but the cone was neither hot nor crispy, or anything really. There were no redeeming qualities. It was just like biting into a stale, hard, and dense slice of white bread. There was some cinnamon sugar around it but it didn't really add much to it. After our first bite of the cone we were pretty appalled, and had to go in for a 2nd bite to make sure we weren't hallucinating how bad it was. Usually if food isn't amazing, it's at least average and edible but we actually threw our cone away.

    Decided to check out this fun and tasty looking ice cream shop today! We were greeted by friendly employees. Super clean space and had 2 of their cones! Both do delicious! Can't wait to go back and try more! The original cone tastes like a churro!!! So yummy!! We tried their monthly special banana berry fluff as well. Both were So good!

    Yum!!! Great location in beautiful downtown Carlsbad village - you can take a walk and stop by to get this beautiful delicacy. Join the app to order in advance because a line can pop up at any minute. My hubby and I enjoyed a day date and then came here for dessert. We ordered the Brownie Royale with a sugary crispy fluffy cone! It was a great treat to end the date. If you download their app, they'll randomly offer a complimentary special. :) Will def order in the future

    Gelato Love is a gourmet Italian gelato shop located in Carlsbad Village…read more It has a modern decor and inviting ambience. It is well lit, clean and organized. There are both indoor and outdoor seating. We enjoyed the relaxing and delightful atmosphere of the indoor seating. They have a nice selection of purses, jewelries and Stanley Tucci cookbooks. I also enjoyed other merchandise they have around the shop.They sell Italian pasta, tomato sauce and jam. The menu includes ; creamy gelati, dairy free sorbetti, gelato specialties, love shakes, coffe, cannoli, ice cream cakes, and desserts. There are many flavors to choose from. Everything looked tempting and delicious. Finally, we decided to get flight of four different flavors of gelato. We chose Carlsbad strawberry, Cookies and cream, Bacio, Tahitian vanilla bean. Their gelato was rich, creamy and silky. The amount was generous. The owner and the staff were very welcoming and genuinely warm. The service was fast. I really like Gelato Love. It's an authentic Italian Gelato shop to stop by and enjoy their unique flavors. .

On Mother's Day, they gave away a mini bouquet of flowers and a pint of ice cream. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of the first ten that also got a nice glass jar to store goodies in. I did see some people walk about with just the freebies and that was kind of annoying to see. I think they should have at least purchased something. They should have restricted the freebies to customers only. I ended up gifting the free non-vegan option to my mother (she loved it) and my hubby bought me a vegan pint for myself. Inside there is no seating but they have 2 benches outside. While there is a small parking lot in the back, the parking lot gets full quickly and street parking can be tricky. Their ice cream is really tasty and they even decorate your ice cream with extra toppings like sprinkles and vegan marshmallows. This is one of our new favorite ice cream shops!

Some of the flavors sounded a little unexpected at first, but every one we tried was delicious and thoughtfully crafted. You can tell they put a lot of care into creating flavors that are both fun and memorable. My personal favorite was the Banana Pancake flavor. It perfectly captured the comforting taste of a warm stack of pancakes and bananas, with just the right balance of sweetness. It was rich, creamy, and perfectly flavored like chocolate chip banana pancakes. My boyfriend had the Three Strikes flavor, which is a creamy peanut butter with peanut brittle, it was also delicious. We tried both flavors together and they both went really well together. The shop itself has a welcoming atmosphere, and the rotating selection of flavors makes it a place you'll want to visit more than once. If you're in Oceanside and looking for something beyond the typical ice cream shop, Little Fox is definitely worth stopping by. Whether you're feeling adventurous or just want a great scoop of ice cream, you're likely to find a flavor you'll love.

I would happily make questionable life decisions for another scoop of it. But honestly, what made this experience stand out wasn't just the gelato--it was Venezia. Huge shoutout to her for being so patient while we stood there completely incapable of making a decision. Instead of rushing us, she took the time to help us figure out what flavors we actually wanted and gave us recommendations that absolutely did not miss. She was incredibly sweet, genuinely welcoming, and made the whole experience so much better. And listen, this place is about an hour drive for me. An HOUR. Yet I'm already planning my return trip because the quality of the gelato and the service made it 100% worth it. If you're anywhere near this place, do yourself a favor and stop by. The gelato is ridiculously creamy, packed with flavor, and made with the kind of quality you can taste immediately. Dare I say it... the creaminess might even be better than An's Gelato . 10/10. Came for the gelato, left wanting to be friends with Venezia
