Thursday evening and there was a line! We got double scoops and those were generous portions for sure, seemed like a pint of ice cream in each.

But I decided to step outside my comfort zone and give this place a try. When I walked in, the place was clean and busy. The employees were friendly and provided great customer service. They even let me sample a couple of flavors before I made my decision. I ended up getting Strawberry and Eureka Lemon & Marionberries. The Strawberry was good, but that Eureka Lemon & Marionberries... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! If nothing else, I'll definitely be back just for that flavor. It was that good!

We're not locals like the original owners, but it's always a pleasure to grab a few bites of tasty treats whenever we are around town. As many patrons know, McConnell's Ice Creams uses simple ingredients and makes everything from scratch. The rich and dense texture and flavors are pure fine craftsmanship, showcasing the what nature offers at its finest. There can be quite a line here depending on the time of day, but if you come before noon, you're likely to be served right away. I recommend all their flavors, so the flight option is a great way to sample a few. And for what you get, it's a pretty healthy for your wallet too!

I am HUGE fan of their Santa Barbara strawberry which has large chunks of fresh strawberry and a strong strawberry flavor. Unlike other shops where the strawberry flavor is faint. I also love their chocolate chocolate which is closer to a dark chocolate ice cream with fun small bits of dark chocolate bits. When the line is out the door, it only takes about 10ish minutes to start trying samples so don't let the line deter you! I wish we had one of these in the Bay Area.

It had these chunks of chocolate cookies and chocolate chips. I liked the cookie bits, not so much the chocolate chips. The Nutella ice cream was great, and I enjoyed how it came with Nutella spread on the bottom. I like how the ice cream is organic but it is pretty expensive. The service was nice. Rori's is located in a food hall. It is kinda loud, and there is not a ton of seating outside of the stall.

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.

This shop is fairly close to the train station, conveniently located right across the street. When I entered, I was greeted and told that I could sample any flavors (always nice to hear that). I tried the Earl Grey and shortbread cookies (which was good), but chose to order a single scoop of two flavors (love that they let you choose two) - mixed berry crumble and summer corn & blackberries. They were both delicious and tasted like real berries. It's a little pricey at $7.95 for a single scoop, but they use high-quality ingredients. A perfect summer treat!
