    S'mores
    Marlee A.

    Little Fox manages to capture a nostalgic feel while offering exciting new flavors. The space is cute, comfortable, and photogenic. The sweet woman behind the counter let me try several flavors before I landed on one. It was so hard to choose! I went with their s'mores flavor they currently have, and my girlfriend picked RBF. She says the RBF tastes exactly like a root beer float and was happy with it. My s'mores was satisfying. Perfect amount of chocolate for me. Parking is tough in this area, so give yourself time and be ready to walk a bit!

    We went late night, a line that moved fairly quick. For a kid growing up eat choc tacos this was a must for me to try & it did not disappoint. My daughter got the same thing (things taco) I lived that we could buy just the ice cream in pints of wanted. We did do some testers before deciding on the taco and they were good. They had a sink for me this sealed the deal washed hands before enjoying a seeet treat & clean up after. They had little items to purchase & free stickers. It was an all around yes yes yes. Shall we be back for another vacation we will bring the rest of our family!

    Berrily Good

    The most adorable local boutique ice cream shop! If you think that Salt & Straw is inventive, Little Fox takes it up a notch. They truly have some of the most inventive flavors I've ever seen AND they're all super delicious! Their branding is too cute and I love all of the intentional touches. They even have a small sink in the corner of the shop because with ice cream comes sticky hands. Such a darling shop! We went for Berrily Good which is their elevated take on a classic strawberry. It features ecology center strawberry cream, elderflower liqueur, and elderflower strawberry swirl. Super yums! Their ice cream has a slightly stretchy and chewy texture which I love. Also, they're really intentional about each scoop. They have an array of toppings and make sure to dress up each one. I'll definitely be back!

    Vegan Three Strikes in a Tiny Lil Cup size

    I am vegan, so this review regarding the ice cream itself is only for the vegan ice creams. I am glad they have vegan options, but unlike Salt & Straw and Stella Jean that also offer vegan ice cream flavors alongside the dairy ones, I'm not eager to come back to Little Fox. The flavors sounded so cool and I tried all four vegan options (S'mores, Three Strikes, Lavender Haze, and Vanilla Cake), the peanut buttery bite I had of Three Strikes had me excited so I got that flavor, but the soggy bits of kettle corn in my actual scoop weren't enjoyable. If I were to choose again, I would've gotten the Lavender Haze. The service was fantastic. The line was way out the door yet each time a staff greeted a new customer, it was with a bright welcoming smile and invite to sample flavors or get their scoops going. The inside is cute & I love the plants. They have a little sink, I'm guessing for sticky fingers to wash up after finishing their scoops! With only one doorway to enter/exit, it was cramped when people left after paying for their dessert. If someone was in a wheelchair, a lot of movement of the people in line would've had to happen for them to use the ramp walkway and get through the door. Street parking was easy! If I go back with others, I'd consider trying a new flavor if one comes, but for now, I have no desire to go back.

    5/5 must try. I loved the London fog specifically - just an amazing blend of vanilla, cake, and earl grey. In a city with so much great ice cream, it's hard to compete - rest assured Little Fox is among the best. The options are so unique and not overdone. I would be happy eating a scoop of most flavors here.

    Wow just wow. Quality ice cream, amazing service, adorable ambiance. I would highly recommend the tomato apricot Family Heirloom ice cream. One of the most unique flavors I've ever tried. The passion fruit based one I got was also delicious, I forgot what its name is. There was a long line out the door but the staff did so great serving everyone, being so patient while everyone tried multiple flavors. 10/10 would come again!

    Banana Pancake
    Nancy P.

    Found this little gem while I was searching for an ice cream shop. What sets this place apart is their creative and unique flavor combinations. Some of the flavors sounded a little unexpected at first, but every one we tried was delicious and thoughtfully crafted. You can tell they put a lot of care into creating flavors that are both fun and memorable. My personal favorite was the Banana Pancake flavor. It perfectly captured the comforting taste of a warm stack of pancakes and bananas, with just the right balance of sweetness. It was rich, creamy, and perfectly flavored like chocolate chip banana pancakes. My boyfriend had the Three Strikes flavor, which is a creamy peanut butter with peanut brittle, it was also delicious. We tried both flavors together and they both went really well together. The shop itself has a welcoming atmosphere, and the rotating selection of flavors makes it a place you'll want to visit more than once. If you're in Oceanside and looking for something beyond the typical ice cream shop, Little Fox is definitely worth stopping by. Whether you're feeling adventurous or just want a great scoop of ice cream, you're likely to find a flavor you'll love.

    This place is so yummy and they have a descent amount of vegan options. I believe they have four and they were all delicious. On Mother's Day, they gave away a mini bouquet of flowers and a pint of ice cream. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of the first ten that also got a nice glass jar to store goodies in. I did see some people walk about with just the freebies and that was kind of annoying to see. I think they should have at least purchased something. They should have restricted the freebies to customers only. I ended up gifting the free non-vegan option to my mother (she loved it) and my hubby bought me a vegan pint for myself. Inside there is no seating but they have 2 benches outside. While there is a small parking lot in the back, the parking lot gets full quickly and street parking can be tricky. Their ice cream is really tasty and they even decorate your ice cream with extra toppings like sprinkles and vegan marshmallows. This is one of our new favorite ice cream shops!

    I was so excited to come here when I saw that they offer vegan ice cream tacos! I've been wanting to try one of these for a long time and this is one of the only places I've ever seen with a vegan option. I got the plant based s'more the merrier taco, which was so good! I love that they even have vegan marshmallows for it. They also had several vegan ice cream flavors for scooping, and everything was very clearly labelled. The service was super friendly and I picked up a free sticker too.

    This place is soooo cute! You walk in and it's bright, clean, and organized. I loved reading the menu as the different flavors of ice cream were unexpected. The owner was really kind and offered samples. One thing I appreciate is you sample with an actual spoon. It wasn't plastic or wooden, it was a gold spoon. I felt fancy. The little scoop was enough for me. I don't eat ice cream much so I liked the ability to enjoy without being wasteful. At first glance, pricing seemed high. However, quality ingredients plus the beauty of the shop makes it all make sense. Parking is a hassle. There's a small lot or street parking. You may need to drive around a bit. The parlor has a pizza place neighbor and more food across the street. I wish you could make your own taco! That would be amazing. I definitely think everyone should try it out.

    great place great staff super chill good vibes so awesome its sooooooo good 10/10 recommend. free stickers!! super light if you dont like heavy ice cream they have options that arent as heavy

    Things + Stuff and Spring Fling
    Leslie C.

    Such a cute ice cream place with so many options! Parking was full and the shop was busy when we stopped by. Street parking is advised for easy access. There was a line, but it's mostly due to customers sampling and having a great experience in trying different flavors. Guests are given golden sampling spoons which is very different from usual ice cream places! Limited and location exclusive flavors are posted on their website. Spring Fling is one of their seasonal flavors of matcha and lime. It was an enjoyable combo and not too overwhelming in lime flavor. Things+Stuff contains pretzel cream and peanut butter. The scoop itself contained a decent amount of mix ins. There are so many interesting flavors to try with locally sourced ingredients. I hope to stop by again!

    Positioned right next to Corner pizza and across the street from Tanners and Homestate, Little Fox is a great stop for a sweet treat after a meal or on its own. It's a small shop with a ton of unique flavors. My recent visit here was due to meeting a friend who really wanted to try Tanners and specifically also requested Little Fox. This was great because they are so close. I got the RBF which is a root beer flavored concoction. It was good. Not too overpowering and between the cream and the root beer flavors it was so well balanced. My friend got the diet riot since she is a big chocolate fan. She absolutely loved hers. There really isn't an area to sit and eat your ice cream except for one bench outside so keep that in mind. Most people just stand out front on the sidewalk and enjoy. Definitely stop by for their unique flavors if you are in the area.

This menu is everything an islander, especially a Filipino could ever want in an ice cream menu. The perfect fusion of island ingredients and ice cream is so next level! You are able to sample the flavors, to find what you like and EVERY flavor is amazing! You are met with a friendly server, and they are very helpful in explaining the ice cream flavors if you're not familiar with them. I orders the Ube Pandesal, if you are an Ube lover this the one for you. Not too sweet unlike many other Ube flavors out there, perfect blend of flavors. My wife got the Mango Sticky rice, and it tastes just like you would expect it to. I'm coming back any time I have a sweet urge and eventually I'm going to try every flavor! I love the setting, it's outside part of The Cottages food collection, so you have a few options of food and beverages in the same area.

    My boyfriend, our best friend, and I visited this ice cream shop for the first time tonight, and…read moreunfortunately, the interaction with one of the young women working there left us very uncomfortable. When we asked to sample the ube flavor, she initially gave us two samples and then went to get a third. I offered my sample to our friend, but she immediately told me that she was fine and wanted the third sample instead. When the employee returned with the third sample, she commented, "Wow, that's not very gentleman-like, not giving your sample to your girlfriend first." Our friend immediately explained that she had specifically told me it was okay and that she wanted the third sample. Despite that, the employee continued making assumptions about the situation. Then, when our friend paid for the ice cream, the employee commented, "Wow, now you're making her pay too." At that point, I told her that was enough. The entire interaction felt unnecessarily judgmental and inappropriate. Not only did she assume that our female friend was my girlfriend, but she also seemed to assume that, as a man, I should be responsible for paying for her and that I should automatically prioritize her over my boyfriend and our friendship. It's 2026, and people shouldn't have to conform to outdated assumptions about gender roles, relationships, or who is supposed to pay for whom. Women are perfectly capable of paying for themselves, and friends can certainly treat each other however they choose without being judged by an employee. What should have been a simple, enjoyable first visit for ice cream instead became an uncomfortable experience because of unsolicited comments and assumptions about our relationships. We were respectful toward the employee throughout the interaction, and we expected the same in return. Unfortunately, based on this experience, we will probably not be returning and will be sharing our experience with our friends and family. There are plenty of other ice cream options out there.

    it's saturday night. we don't have a reservation. they tell us the wait is over an hour. what do we…read moredo? we wait. and thank jebus we did, because this ended up being one of the best meals i've had in a while. we started with the prawn. we each got one, and given that they're $10 a skewer, our bill started off STRONG. the prawns were perfectly roasted with hints of mezcal and prickly pear. the candied habanero or whatever garnish of death was on there totally kicked my ass in terms of spice. in true Asian fashion, we ripped the heads off and sucked all the goodness out of them too. no shame. you don't waste the good stuff. then the cornbread showed up. the group collectively agreed we'd pass on this one next time. for me, the goat cheese threw me off, but that's entirely on me because i hate goat cheese and still knowingly ordered something with goat cheese. i played myself. there was absolutely nothing wrong with the dish, but compared to everything else we ate, there wasn't anything particularly standout about it either. but then. the fucking broccoli showed up. it is literally charred broccoli with chermoula, lime, and peanut. that's it. BROCCOLI. and after taking one bite, i learned that broccoli could, in fact, be life changing. suddenly i was a new woman. a woman who wanted nothing more than to sit there and stuff her face with massive amounts of broccoli. unfortunately, i couldn't because we still had dishes to taste. and so i moved on to the pork belly. when people describe something as "melting in your mouth," they are specifically referring to Campfire's pork belly. because that's exactly what it did. just melted all up in my mouth and lit my taste buds on fire. normally, i find pork belly prepared this way a little heavy and can only stomach a few bites, but i could have eaten the entire dish. but of course i didn't, because i'm a lady. and the octopus was about to show up. and show up it DID. i don't like celery, and this dish had plenty of it, but because it was shaved super thin, it was actually super palatable. the octopus was incredibly tender, and there were little bits of chorizo throughout that gave it the perfect balance. also, love me a good chimichurri sauce. and finally, last but truly not least, the chicken. a whole ass half bird, charred to perfection with roasted red pepper, kumquat, and fennel. apparently i like fennel now??? i didn't even know i liked fennel like that, but here we are. if i hadn't already been stuffed to the absolute brim, i could have destroyed this entire dish. the chicken was juicy and tender, and paired with the fennel, you're almost like just having a healthy dish??? LOL. although we went in with every intention of ending the night with s'mores, our bodies simply said no. there was no more room at the inn. see what i did there :P so instead, we left and went on a very long walk to digest all the delicious goodness that was Campfire. i cannot wait to go back. mostly for the broccoli, which is a sentence i never thought i'd write in my life. and this time, i will absolutely be making a reservation.
