To be honest, I prefer their milkshakes over their actual ice cream scoops, but my husband and I wanted to sample a few different flavors. We got the sampler with Spouse Like a House, Strawberry, Graham Central Station, and Banana Cream Pie. Spouse Like a House: 7/10. I loveeeddd the crunchy bits which I believe are chocolate-covered pretzels. It's a solid option if you're looking for something with mix-ins that doesn't feel too overwhelming. Strawberry: 2/10. Unfortunately the strawberry tasted way too artificial; I could not eat it by itself. Had to combine it with other flavors for it to be tolerable :( Graham Central Station: 8/10. Tastes exactly as expected, graham crackers in ice cream form. A perfect "pie crust" flavor to combine with other flavors heheh :) Banana Cream Pie: 7/10. Can't go wrong with this if you love banana cream pie. This + Graham Central are the perfect combination!! Overall, I do wish their ice cream was creamier and more dense. I feel like the flavors dissipate instantly upon tasting because the texture is too airy. Even so, I'm glad a location opened up in Oxnard :)

It can get really busy and the line can be long, but customer service usually keeps things moving pretty fast. If the manager is reading this, AJ was awesome every time we've been. Very friendly, welcoming, and handled big rushes quickly while still being kind. It is a bit pricey, but being in The Collection and offering more unique flavors makes it worth it. Everything we've tried has been good, especially Cookie Monster, a family favorite for us. Would love to see more fruit or sherbet options too for those who prefer non cream based flavors.

I was so excited to find Afters, and treated myself to a nice, cool treat. It is always a challenge to pick a flavor, but I went for the Strawberry Cookie Crunch topped with cubed, chewy mochi. The small scoop felt heftly, but I appreciated all the ice cream I got!

Sure, there's ice cream, but less than a week after having returned to California, it was a nice treat to find a frozen yogurt shop, complete with peanut butter flavor.

The prices seemed a bit higher than some other places, but the quality and taste definitely make it worth it. They also offer a larger variety of toppings than most places, which is a big plus. The only downside is that the ice cream selection is a little smaller, and on two of the three visits we've made, one or two of the ice cream machines weren't working. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it was a little disappointing. The customer service has always been great, and everyone has been friendly and helpful. We also purchased some of the packaged candy they sell and took it home. Unfortunately, it was quite hard when we opened it. Considering it was more expensive than what you'd find at a typical store, I wasn't thrilled with that purchase. Overall, though, we've had a positive experience and will definitely be back. We'll just be sticking to the frozen treats and skipping the candy next time!

I usually buy ice cream from a truck, but today I felt like going to a store, so I visited. The store's interior is classic and reflects Mr. Softee's history. Looking at the old photographs displayed in the store, you can see that Mr. Softee has been loved by people for a long time. I usually order a simple vanilla soft-serve ice cream from the truck, but since I was at the store, I decided to try something different. I had a strawberry sundae, and my friend had a warm chocolate cookie sundae. Of course, both were delicious. The ice cream here is simple and reminds me of the ice cream I had as a child. They also sell original merchandise in the store, which was really fun. It's a fun place for both children and adults. There isn't much parking space in downtown Camarillo, but I was able to find street parking this time.

We stopped…read moreby about 30 minutes before closing, which I feel like is reasonable time to visit a store, but the staff acted like we were inconveniencing them. They seemed more interested in closing than helping customers, and the service reflected that. We ordered two twist cones with sprinkles, and each cone got a single spoonful of sprinkles. At the Camarillo location, the tops are always covered, so this felt cheap and intentional rather than an honest mistake. If serving customers 30 minutes before closing is a problem, the posted hours should reflect that. Between the unfriendly service and the noticeably skimpy portions, this location doesn't live up to the Mister Softee name. We won't be back!

Went with the classic yaki (short for taiyaki which are the Japanese fish pastries they use) and it did not disappoint. Great vanilla ice cream. The yaki had more ice cream and chocolate syrup inside. And there were nuts and rolled wafers for the toppings. Delish. Service was fast even with a small line. They have multiple cashiers, which is helpful. There are also a couple of servers who bring out the orders, so it was just super efficient. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area. There are so many different flavor combos to try!

Dear Hubby and I were at Ventura Harbor Village last Sunday to get a break from the inland heat,…read moreand just to hang out for a while. After a late lunch / early dinner I was in the mood for something sweet. Specifically, I was craving a root beer float. We wandered over to Coastal Cone to see if they could help with that desire. Indeed, yes they could. In the summertime, they are busier than ever, especially on a weekend afternoon. They have a newer system for serving customers, which works pretty well, if the customer pay attention to it. They have you queue up at the door closest to the water. There, a team member directs you or your group to one of three stations inside. Each area has all of the services that you might need, whether it's just getting a cup or cone of ice cream, or ordering fancier dishes like sundaes and much more. I noticed a few reviewers saying that the ice cream is pretty basic. That might or might not be true, but what I see them emphasizing now is that they can make you specialty creations above and beyond what many ice cream shops feature. They bake their waffle cones on premises - and you can enjoy the sweet scent of the results when they come out of the oven. Heavenly! I can't enjoy cow's milk dairy any more, so vegan frozen treats are my jam. They were able to offer me a scooped vegan vanilla ice cream in a cup, with a full bottle of root beer to float away on. It was just what I wanted! A slightly larger cup would have made the experience even better / easier to eat & sip, but it worked out okay. One serving was plenty for DH and I to share. The best part was refilling the cup as we drank the root beer, then every time we added more liquid, the ice cream would foam up. That magical foamy texture is such a taste treat. It was $10, which initially seemed high, but given how long it lasted, and how two of us got to share it, it was a great value. They sure had a lot of people employed behind the counter. Like a lot. The line seemed to move pretty quickly as a result of all that staffing. One last note of pickiness. Perhaps in the off-season the owners might consider doing some deep cleaning and interior refreshing. The floors are particularly beat up and don't have that clean, fresh ice cream parlor look that might be expected. DH and I sat off to the side on the long built-in bench inside the busy shop. It has some shelf space at the back/sides, and those surfaces look like they hadn't been cleaned well in a long time. Just sayin'. While I enjoyed our root beer float, I had time to notice some of the details of the place, and those are my observations.
