    Açai bowl menu

    Amazing little shop with açai bowls for a good price, ice cream, fresh fruit, snacks, like Takis and fruit popsicles. Best party is open till 10 PM. Stuff was super friendly, and the place was very clean.

    Strawberry

    Almost $4 for a popsicle was shocking at first. But man they were as quality as they get! We ordered the tamarindo chamoy & strawberry. Very very good! My chamoy had a kick which I really enjoyed.

    Strawberry one scoop and one scoop of Pistachio ice cream.

    The La Michoacana Ice Cream Shop is one of my favorite place to enjoy really delicious ice cream. Today I was served by Josh , I chose the one scoop of the Strawberry and one scoop of strawberry ice cream and one scoop of the pistachio ice cream. These two flavors tastes really good together. The price I was charged was $6.15 with the tax from Josh. I ate this delicious ice cream inside their ice cream shop. This ice cream is more expensive than regular ice cream because this is specialty ice cream. This ice cream treat i buy it once in a while when I can afford it.

    Love love the fresh fruit juices made daily..we see employees preparing the fruit! They offer a nice variety of flavors..my go to Cucumber and lime..my son loves the mango orange..also horchata..strawberry..passionfruit, hibiscus and others to choose from. Ice cream and fruit ices are available.. I was offered a taste of the ice..the pineapple was very good. I must come back to try the ice cream .Their store is small but clean and we always get friendly service!

    I was thoroughly impressed with the variety of flavors and quality of the desserts. There was even spicy Mexican treats and even corn treats for different dishes. The ice cream was fantastic and I will go there again

    $20 for a large ice cream and 2 popsicles is INSANELY EXPENSIVE. They're good but not worth it for that price.

    Very yummy treats, service isn't the greatest but the food and treats make up for it. Unfortunately it is a little over priced.

    Very pleased with my first visit to this spot. Love the nostalgic look and feel…read more Small banana split with marshmallow cream instead of pineapple was delicious. Not enough banana. 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!!!

    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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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 was in this area of Oceanside in the valley and was looking for ice cream. Upon recommendations,…read moreI came across Ocean Rainbow ice cream parlor. 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!
