It's like you stepped back in time with all the old school decor and music. I loved it! It felt so nice and nostalgic walking in. The ice cream is all homemade! You definitely can tell the difference compared to other ice cream places. I got a banana split I tried the strawberry shortcake Banana pudding And the s'more's ice cream. All tasted super fresh and not overly sweet. I definitely will be back to this ice cream shops to try some of the flavors I didn't get! The staff were super friendly and welcoming.

I heard the staff mention that all the ice cream is homemade, which is really impressive. I ordered two scoops with cone : coconut and pistachio . Both were delicious, but the pistachio was my favorite. The girl who served me was very sweet and friendly. Even though it's just an ice cream shop, they still make you feel very welcome and cared for. The shop is not very big, but it's clean, beautiful, and feels almost like walking into a movie set.

Served in a cute boat shaped container. Green tea ice cream is very good and not bitter like matcha. Blueberry cheesecake shake was excellent. Real blueberries! Served with a regular straw. Needs a spoon or a wide diameter straw like a boba straw. Peeked around the corner and saw there was a hot food window too! Very decent fries--crunchy outside, fluffy inside. Awesome chicken nuggets. Is that celery salt sprinkled all over? Excellent ranch dressing!! Not the industrial junk out of a jug. Service was good all around. Is the donut shop/florist next door related to this establishment?

Who would give less than 5 stars for this amazing, 'historical' (?) nostalgic place? Mom and pop's…read morerun business since 1960. Yeah, it's old, food is "ok' (3-stars but it's preliminary an ice cream place), it's a bit 'ghetto' and you need to pay attention as to when your order is ready (they won't call names, only orders) but it's Vista's institution! Serving perfect old fashioned soft serves, shakes and a variety of very affordable frozen treats (4 stars). Kids love this place. There is always a line and a bit of a wait. Service is mediocre at best. But... 5 stars because that's the local businesses we need and can't let go away: Vista greedy city hall is about to let it be demolished to build condos... Huge plus for: burger with special sauce, fresh fries, soft serves and banana splits!!!

The choice of flavors is large and ever changing. I have been a few times and there is usually a line but it moves quickly. The staff is really friendly. The ice cream is thick and creamy and I haven't tried a flavor I didn't like. I had a small coffee heathbar last night and it was still good but there wasn't enough heath in it, it almost tasted like coffee chip, but it did have the rare price of heath bar in it. I was so happy to eat it I forgot a pic. It was a lot of ice cream for a small so it was perfect for sharing. I'll definitely be back as there a few place I'd like to eat in the area.

Stella Jean's new seasonal flavors, Matcha Yuzu and Banana Turon, are seriously so good and 100%…read moreworth seeking out. I ended up going twice just for the Matcha Yuzu and got a scoop on a cone each time. It's such a great summer flavor, super refreshing with a nice citrus kick from the yuzu. The matcha isn't too in your face either, which I really liked! The Banana Turon was a little harder to track down since it kept selling out, but luckily a friend grabbed me two pints when it restocked and honestly it did not disappoint. Those caramelized turon crunch bits are so addictive, I could easily finish a whole pint by myself no problem. I also tried making a matcha float with the banana turon and the flavors worked together really well, highly recommend giving it a shot. The staff is always super friendly and the service is quick. There's also plenty of seating if you want to hang outside and enjoy the sun, or you can grab your scoop and take a stroll around Carlsbad. Either way you really can't go wrong!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Stella Jean's Ice Cream is a California-based ice cream shop that focuses on small-batch,…read moresuper-premium, and locally made ice cream. While most of Stella Jean's locations are in San Diego, there is also a shop in Orange County inside The LAB in Costa Mesa. This specific shop is located inside the Cottages near Carlsbad Village. [Parking]: There's a parking lot right next to the Cottages, but it can be challenging to find available spots. Other public parking and street parking options are available in this part of the neighborhood. [Menu]: The staff lets customers sample various ice cream flavors, but the top Yelp highlighted flavors are Ube + Pandesal Toffee, Brown Butter Pecan, and Sweet Mango Sticky Rice. *** Ube + Pandesal Toffee (kids scoop - $4.95): It was solid, but I can't exactly say it was the best ice cream I have ever had. It did melt pretty quickly. *** This is a nice spot with outdoor tables for customers to sit down and enjoy their ice cream.

I sampled a few before landing on a medium ($7.50) with tropical sorbet and stracciatella (sweet cream with chocolate chips). I'm usually not a big fan of passion fruit, but the tropical sorbet had a nice tartness that made it surprisingly delicious. As with most gelato spots, the portions are a bit smaller than typical ice cream scoops, but still satisfying. The service was great - everyone behind the counter was friendly and welcoming. Street parking only, which can be a bit tricky, but we lucked out and found a spot right in front on a Sunday afternoon. The shop is in a prime area in Downtown Oceanside, surrounded by other shops and about a 7-minute walk to the beach, making it a perfect stop while exploring the area.

Remotely hidden in the back of the shopping plaza on El Camino Real & Mission Ave, is this gem of a small ice cream shop, Ocean Rainbow. One could easily drive right past them because of their small signage on the exterior. The shop is very small and see maybe 10 people. Yeah, very friendly service that is excellent and fast to greet and offer a free sample. This ice cream shop has a very large variety of flavors that are native to Mexican culture. They have ice cream scoops, milkshakes, water-based popsicles, sherbets, sundaes, chamango, banana splits, icicles, elotes, esquites, Tostilocos, popsicles, shaved ice and a whole lot more. You can find flavors like guava, rice, pistachio, coconut, Oreo, cookie dough, rocky road, mango, mamey, cactus fruit, pine nut, MAZAPAN, chamoy, tamarindo, burnt milk, Gansito and even tequila. There most popular item is the Fresas Con Crema. Prices are very reasonable and I got a 3-scoop chocolate waffle cone for $8. They also have fresh-made aguas frescas that are made to-order and esquimales too! I highly recommend checking this spot out the next time you have a sweet tooth!
