Mudpie flavored gelato with rainbow sprinkles
Tatiana J.

Looked up places for a quick treat and tried to avoid the typical ice cream chains. So happy we made the decision to try this place. It's a little hidden in the back corner of the parking lot. The service was fast and the employee was attentive . The gelato was really good. Keep in mind there is no where to sit and dine it is more of a grab and go place. We don't live in the area so ended up needing to finish our treats in the car before having to travel home. The have the option to have your ice cream in a bowl or a cone.

Happy camper by far has the best gelato, the owner is extremely friendly, great customer service, very cute inside. Their poppyseed lemon is my favorite, our pup absolutely loves the doglato. Highly recommend!!!

Y'all I found my all time favorite icecream/gelato place ever! Thank you yelp and thank you to my bf for suggesting a place other than our usual a la minute. I can't believe I'm finding out about this place now, and it's only 2 minutes away from us Food: absolutely delicious, every single flavor was so tasteful, the name exactly described what we were expecting and more. The dark side (chocolate with chocolate chips) was the perfectly chocolatey, blueberry lemon sorbet was amazing balance of sweet fruity and tart. Brownie crumble had fudgy bits of brownie mixed with vanilla, I had to get a whole pint to go! We had the chance to try out basically every single flavor and all of them managed to impress us. Apparently all the gelato and sorbet here are handmade on site by the owner, and for the orange sorbet, she even hand picked them and juiced them herself! Price: single scoop (which can still be 2 different flavors) was $4, double scoop was $5.5, and each pint is $9. But if you do 3 pints for to go, there's a discount and it only costs $22.50. What a deal for such high quality handmade gelato and sorbet, we ended up getting a single, a double, and 3 pints haha Ambiance: small little cute store in a big strip mall complex, it's kind of hidden away in a corner. Just enough space for about 10 people standing up, no tables or seats. It's just a grab and go kind of place, eat and share your icecream outside or at home. It was not busy despite it being weekend, it has been 2.5 years since this place opened, and I think it's not well advertised, but hopefully that's about to change, since I'm going to tell all my friends and their mothers about this place! Service: gosh the owner Erica is such a lovely human being, you can clearly tell that she loves her job, she was so nice and friendly, let us try out all the flavors on the menu, what an amazing experience! She was smiling, we were smiling, she's spreading so much joy and happiness, and I hope many many others in the community will come visit this place soon Parking: ample parking space and lots of available spots within the strip mall complex

I'm a Happy Camper here at this Creamery and if you haven't seen passionate and bubbly before then Erica, the owner, is the definition of it. She welcomed us with open arms practically and let me sample almost every flavor on the menu. In case you don't know, this is a creamery where everything is made inhouse. The gelato and sorbets are both simply amazing. Their oreo flavor is the best seller, the blueberry lemon sorbet is also amazing. Darkside, orange sorbet, goodness, the list never ends. Everything was so good here, I just couldn't decide so we got scoops AND pints. Anyway, I could rave on and on about this place but the best way to truly appreciate Happy Camper is to go and support Erica herself. Buy lots of pints and eat lots of gelato for ultimate happiness. You won't regret it!

I was working in the area, and had a craving for something light and cold. I'll admit, at first... I thought Siri (no, not my wife) was getting me lost. Keep looking y'all, you will be rewarded with freshly made (in-house) gelato. We were helped by the friendliest employee - I'm sorry, my memory has been in decline since birth - I think her name is... Elise (my apologies) ... she was very helpful and patient with us. Try some samples if you wish. I tried the coconut and that's all I needed to taste... Coconut it is! Wow, the freshest-tasting coconut gelato I ever had. So smooth, creamy and tiny crisp shreds of coconut, not artificial tasting at all. If I were packing dry ice, I'd have ordered a few pints. I highly recommend this place, and of course it needs to be said, l'm a "Happy Camper" for coming here. Ahahahahaha, sorry... not sorry :)

First off my name is Breanna and I love happy camper creamery ! My company promised ice cream on a hot sunny day. I thought we were gonna get like Slurpee's or something. I was really surprised and happy to have tried the dairy free mango sherbet. it tasted authentic and had real flavorful tastes. There was real mango inside. she also had like a coffee one and a cookies and cream strawberries, but I kept going back for the mango. Never have. I tried ice cream like this. They take it to a whole new level and it's family owned. She's very sweet.

Double scoop of German Chocolate Cake and Whopper Crunch gelatos
Alice Y.

Located in a quiet plaza that looks like it was once comprised of industrial offices. There are no seats inside, so we sat on the four outside benches. I was hoping for American ice cream, but Happy Camper Creamery actually makes gelato and sorbet. That's on me for not checking though. I got the double scoop for $5.50 before tax. Flavors were okay. I tried the lemon bar; It was more lemon than crumble/bar. I also identified something too sharp and perfumey that I didn't like. Next, I tried the German Chocolate Cake. It was a chocolate gelato with nuts and shredded coconut. I thought it could have used a caramel swirl (to evoke the frosting element) or actual cake pieces, but the taste was alright. In the end, I asked for a scoop of German Chocolate Cake and Whopper Crunch. Unfortunately, the two flavors were indistinguishable. The Whopper Crunch used the same chocolate base, and there were no discernible pieces of whoppers or crunch.

We love this cute ice cream store. It's decorated so nicely. We're glad that they are opened until 8 pm. We've been here before and craved their ice cream for dessert. Everyone picked their own flavor for pint size. Our kids got S'mores, hubby got coffee Oreo and 8 got the coffee chip. Employee was friendly and quick with her service.

Enthusiastic explanation
Monty D.

I'm happy to have found Happy Camper Creamery, but not as happy as the owner is to talk about it (see pic with expressive hand gesture). Bubbly is an understatement to her enthusiasm about her business and love of ice cream, gelato and sorbet - and the quality of the product shows. Our family stopped by after a day trip to the Palm Springs Windmill Tours (see my Yelp review). One of the best of her ideas was that a "scoop" is really two mini-scoops. We, personally, love the idea of having 2 different flavors, the ability to mix and match (of course, you can get 2 of the same - but why?). All the creamery products are made onsite with quality and flavor in mind - not mass production. BREAKING NEWS: they will be making waffle cones starting next week! I can smell the cooking of the cones already. We had 4 cups and 8 flavors. We not only enjoyed the flavor combination but we rationalized that gelato was healthier for us since it uses more whole milk and less heavy cream. We left quite a bit happier - plus a pint for later.

Meh. I got Oreo and chocolate. Just tasted like a sugar bomb. No depth, no toppings other than sprinkles and brownie . Would not return.

After a wonderful Yelp event experience at Sosogu Ramen in Downtown Redlands, I wanted something…read moredelightful and sweet. Lappert's Super Premium Ice Cream came to mind. Here I was to experience it once more. Yes, I've been here in the past. Parking was easy right in front of the shop. It was about 20 minutes until closing time. There was still a line, but not too long so it went swiftly. Atmosphere was clean and bright. Ambiance has a Hawaiian flare to it. If I didn't know better, I would have thought I was in Hawaii. Limited outside seating and some inside seating. There's a cool cabana hut-like section you may sit at. One all gender restroom available for use. Staff was super fantastic and friendly. They serve the ice cream in quite a variety... fruit bowls, mangonada, vegan/dairy free ice cream, soft serve, floats, shakes, etc. You may even take home pre-packaged pints to-go. Cute shirts for sale, too. As for here, free samples available on any flavors. You may try them all (that's what they say). Sweet! Of course I didn't try all of them, but maybe one day I will. WOW, so many unique and interesting combination of flavors. I sampled 5 flavors as shown below. *Navels & Ganache - Bright navel orange ice cream mixed with rich, dark chocolate ganache chunks *Ube Macapuno - Philippine purple ube root mixed with macapuno (coconut) puree *Date Casablanca - Medajool date ice cream with a date/caramel swirl *Honeysuckle Rose - Honey sweetened vanilla ice cream with rose petal extract *Kauai Pie - Kona coffee ice cream, Hawaiian macadamia nuts, shredded and lightly toasted coconut, and rich dark chocolate fudge I ended up getting one regular cup with 2 flavors for $6.50... very reasonable price! My two picks were Ube Mascapuno and Kauai Pie. Good size scoops. Very rich and smooth texture. Ube was spectacular! YUMMY!! Kauai was good, but unfornately, it didn't pair too well with Ube IMHO. I won't do that again. I will, however, return and try their other fun and tasty flavors. I'll be back and so should you if you've been here before. If you haven't tried them, Lappert's is a must visit when you're in Redlands. Happy Ice Cream!

The inside of Lappert's Super Premium Ice Cream is stunningly decorated and perfect in appearance. I absolutely loved their island-inspired design and the laid-back ambiance. The staff were friendly, humble, welcoming, and incredibly cooperative (shoutout to Elisa!). They offer an extensive menu featuring mouthwatering Ice cream, Smoothies, Desserts, and Drinks along with a few local treasures like various date treats. Speaking of dates, what drew us in was their Date Shake. I loved that they offered it and it saved us a trip from driving out to Sheild's Date Garden. Their date shake was SCRUMPTIOUS! So creamy and full of date flavor. Highly recommend!

Taco 'Bout Sweets is tasty town and a great treat -- especially with the kids! Mine are obsessed…read morewith watching the ice cream get mashed, mixed, and whipped on the frozen slab like it's a live show. Our go-to flavors: Cookies & Cream, Brown Town, and Mint Chocolate Chunk...they're all solid! My kids usually like to get theirs scooped into a cup...they're not fond of mixing taco shells with the ice cream. But my hubby is! And don't sleep on the House Coffee -- Vietnamese coffee with foam on top that absolutely slaps. Great vibes, cool art, and those antique Singer sewing machine tables? Extra neat! We love this place!!!

We love Taco 'bout sweets. It's such a fun little spot to stop for a treat, especially with my son…read more He loves watching them make the rolled ice cream, and the presentation is always really cool to see. The ice cream itself is really good, and the taco shells they serve it in are delicious too. The service is always lovely. Everyone there is super sweet and friendly, which definitely makes the experience even better. The prices are also very reasonable. I think it's around $7.95 for a rolled ice cream, which feels like a pretty standard price for that kind of dessert. The only thing that keeps it from being five stars is the ambiance. The place itself is just a little lackluster. It's not bad, it just doesn't have much of a vibe. But honestly, the ice cream and the friendly service still make it a great place to stop by. Overall, it's a great experience and a fun little treat spot. I love coming here to grab a snack with my son.
