We have a McConnell's location 5 minutes away from us in LA but my son really wanted to come here…read moretoday since this is the original location. He is a fan of McConnell's and wanted to grab some ice cream after our dinner. This location only has 3 parking spots plus 1 handicap spot. Thankfully we found parking on the street and there was a line of people waiting to get in. Once inside, Christie was the girl who helped us and she couldn't have been more pleasant and kind. She was very upbeat, energetic and did not rush us at all as we tried to make our decisions. She was more than happy to give us as many samples as we wanted. Since this location had frozen yogurt and the one by our home doesn't, my son decided to go for that. He got Horchata, Greek Yogurt, and Peanut Butter flavors in one cup. For his toppings he got rainbow sprinkles and chocolate chips. I had a few spoonfuls of it and it was DELICIOUS! Great texture, super smooth and decadent, while still being light. The portion was huge and enough to share. The place was very clean and they have a small outdoor seating area. Sweet ending to a sweet day!

The line was fairly long when we arrived, but it does move pretty fast even with only 2 people working. // FLAVORS // BROWN SUGAR BANANA: fresh banana ice cream made with homemade dark brown sugar. If you love bananas, you'll definitely go crazy for this! The brown sugar flavor takes a backseat compared to the banana. SALTED CARAMEL: Homemade caramel topped with Maldon sea salt. This was my favorite one! Deep caramel flavor, with a slight hint of Maldon sea salt. The only thing that would make this better is something added to it for texture.

A few steps later we saw this place and my son wanted to stop in for some ice cream. Upon walking in, we weren't even greeted by anyone and there were 2 girls with an attitude behind the counter who were extremely unwelcoming. They also didn't allow us to sample anything and the ice creams didn't even look that appealing, so we left. We went to McConnell's later and had a much better experience!

What I swallowed: *SPLIT SINGLE: SANTA BARBARA STRAWBERRY & SEA SALT CREAM AND COOKIES: How can I NOT get SB strawberries if I'm here? Man, it was good: creamy with very tasty strawberries. The sea sale cream and cookies was top notch as well. I took note that they are at Sprouts. I'll have to check if they are in the Denver area (pretty please say you are!). If not, we can always online order!

Chocolate hazelnut and brownies - This is rich, but not overpowering. If brownies came in ice cream form, this is it. Almost like eating brownie batter, but better. Double peanut butter chip - Has a hint of saltiness which paired well with the chocolate hazelnut. The chips were not big and more mashed up in the ice cream. Get it in a waffle cone or in a regular cone upside down in a cup. If you're going to splurge, might as well go big!

So this past weekend, we decided to try it. Wow. Some of the best ice cream we've ever had. My favorite flavor is the PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CANDY, followed by the LEMON CURD. My husband loves the CUP O' JOE SPINELLI and the NY STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE. Now every time we're in Montecito, we'll be stopping at Rori's for a scoop or two! Can't wait to try more flavors!

The good: I tried the January flavor of the month (toasted…read morecoconut dark chocolate), toasted honey almond, black pepper pistachio, banana, and a peanut butter chocolate. I liked how they had unlimited toppings for kids. They also had dog friendly treats. There were several outside tables and benches for dining. The service was very quick. The pistachio ice cream tasted like eating straight pistachios and there were plenty of real pistachio chunks. The bad: The interior is tiny and is only for ordering. The texture of the honey ice cream was runnier and had icy chunks. The honey flavor was really strong and tasted like I was eating just pure honey. That sounds nice but it was a bit too much. I wish the texture was a little bit more chewy and the flavor a bit less sweet. I didn't taste the black pepper in the pistachio ice cream. The interesting: They have another location in the Public Market food hall as well.

It was about a 15 minute wait, which was not bad for Saturday afternoon. Tondi Gelato hand churns the gelato (which they advertised in front), so I was excited to try. There were tons of flavors and they also allow you to mix. I decided on salted caramel and strawberries and cream. Once I got to the front, I was in and out in about 5 minutes. They also put on whipped cream, which I opted to skip. There's a small patio for seating, but I wandered around state street. The ice cream was pretty delicious, so creamy and tasty. The only thing is that my strawberry and cream over flavored the caramel. So I ate them one side at a time (lol). Next time, I will pick other flavors that mesh better. Definitely a must try when you're on state street. They also have a ton of vegan options, which looked really good.

Coconut was sweet and creamy and the lemon tasted like fresh lemons the perfect flavor for a hot summer day.
