You immediately feel comfortable when you walk in. The staff was extremely friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Most importantly, the ice cream was amazing -- very flavorful, creamy, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Every bite was delicious. If you're anywhere near Turlock, this place is definitely worth stopping by. We will definitely come back next time we're in the area. Highly recommended!

Came to Oak Barrel Ice & Creamery because I wanted to try all the ice cream places in Turlock. One…read moreof the creamiest scoops of ice cream ever! Located in Scandia Village - Oak Barrel is just a small little shop that packs huge flavor. The inside has one cramped table where two workers were chatting when we first arrived. They quickly moved to behind the counter to help us out. We ordered: Banana cream chunk - This tasted like ripe bananas with huge chocolate chunks. Super good. Blackberry balsamic - This was like a strawberry smoothie in ice cream form. Caramel crunch - The SO really enjoyed this one. It had big ol' pieces of praline. Service was great. I didn't feel rushed and I was able to try other flavors (red licorice tasted just like Red Vines!). They also had a black licorice that the SO would have enjoyed, but he didn't try it. I'm already planning another visit soon!

You can tell they use quality ingredients because every bite was perfect. The environment really stood out to me too. Everything was so clean, organized, and aesthetically pleasing. It's the kind of place you actually want to hang out in for a bit instead of just grabbing your dessert and leaving. Even the bathroom was spotless, which says a lot about how much they care about their space. What made the visit even better was the staff. The employee I interacted with was genuinely sweet, and welcoming. That kind of customer service makes such a difference and definitely makes me want to come back. Overall, amazing ice cream, a beautiful and clean atmosphere, and great people working there. I'll definitely be returning!
