Oddball Ice Cream - Chocolate malted crunch and Birthday Cake flavors - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Calimesa, California

Amazing! The man is very nice and we go all the time thriftys is my favorite of course, great decorations as well!!

They have thrifty!!! Grab a scoop of your favorite and then hang out in the art studio Nextdoor and eat it.

Delightful new ice cream shop in the best location (think Haus Bistro). The sherbet and sorbet were scrumptious. Prices were reasonable. Shop is cute and the customer service was off the chain. It should be a great summer in Calimesa with Oddball on the menu! read more

Happened to compre accesos this little ice cream shop and I'm glad I did. Best part is that they have thrifty ice cream with many options to choose from. Best part is that they have different cone options and toppings too! Price wise it was not bad for all 5 of us. Staff was friendly which is always a plus! Place is a bit small so I'm sure on their busier days they might have people lining up outside but I'm telling you it be worth it. read more

I've been on the search for thrifty Ice Cream, and when I came across a TikTok saying they had it here, I had to make my way over. First bite... my God, AMAZING. Coming here, I found more than just my favorite ice cream. Erik, the owner, is incredibly kind, and you can really feel the passion behind this place. I genuinely hope Odd Ball reaches great levels of success and abundance because they deserve it. One of the coolest things is how this spot takes you back--if you grew up in the 90s, it's such a nostalgic experience. On top of that, it's also an art studio, which makes it such a unique and creative space. Definitely check it out--enjoy some amazing ice cream while getting creative. We will absolutely be coming back. Like I told Erik, we're returning customers for sure. read more

Ice cream right next to Sushi AYCE?! Heck ya!! Small little hut right next to 21 Sushi House and quite new. Parking is generous but because it shares the same parking lot with 21 Sushi, it can get quite cumbersome to find a spot. Service is friendly, ice cream selection is just right with enough to satisfy many craving preferences, and amount of scooped ice cream is a generous serving. Having 2 toddlers, this spot is wonderful to go to right after a heft meal. Only con is that there's no seating as it is quite a cozy, small spot. Otherwise, this is a solid 4 star joint that does precisely as intended - serve delicious ice cream! Fantastic addition to this cozy plaza in Calimesa. Highly recommended for a well-deserved treat after satisfying your sushi cravings! read more

Cleanliness 4 Cost 4 Cuisine 3 Customer service 5 I heard they had thrifty ice cream so i had to go check it out. Reasonable prices. The Pistachio ice cream was decent but the chocolate malted crunch tasted stale. Very small space. Simple menu. I would go back to try other flavors and give it another chance. read more

Small location but the staff is sooooo freaking nice and cool. The ice cream is really good and fresh. Their homemade whip cream is a must!

Wonderful hidden gem serving thrifty's ice cream.. REAL THRIFTY ICE CREAM from the old school save-on days. Definitely would recommend we tried the mint shake and it was delicious, the butter pecan was like tasting my childhood. Thank you to the owner for such a great experience and great ice cream. read more

This ice cream store was awesome. They served thrifty ice cream, which you can't get anymore because Rite Aid drugstore is closed now, so it's nice to be able to go into kind of an old-fashioned ice cream store and still get scooped ice cream 3.75 a scoop. I really enjoyed that thrifty ice cream the owner was very kind and helpful. This is a great place. I'll go back. I hope others will try it. read more

This is our 2nd time here. We like to come after my Grandsons jujitsu. Good friendly service close to home. Thank you oddball ice cream.

WHAT A GREAT FIND FOR YOUR DESSERT CRAVINGS.....We found this place off reviews on Facebook and Yelp. I am so glad we tried it. We both had different sundaes. I had the Bigfoot which was Rocky Road ice cream, brownies pieces and little chocolate rock looking candies, caramel sauce, sprinkles and whip cream...ummmm YYYYUUUUMMMMM. My hubby had the Reptilian ...Mint & Chip Ice Cream, Mint Oreos, Chocolate sauce, Marshmallow sauce and whip cream...very tasty and only $7.00. That is a steal!!! They were the perfect size and the ingredients were high quality producing delicious flavor!! The shop is tiny but cool and the owners were so friendly!!! Try this Mom and Pop Shop!!! You won't be disappointed!!!! read more

Very good and adorable place but the lady told me that their ice cream is thrifty : / kind of a bummer with what you're paying. Otherwise cute space and original decor. Also the employees are really nice read more

Reminds me of Thrifty but with way more options. I ordered the cookies and cream and it is one of the best!

Just found this little ice cream parlor...yumm-o! But I noticed one thing that's not on the menu, and that's chocolate sauce. Why? It's a staple of every good ICP since the beginning of time! And no, hot fudge sauce is NOT the same thing. Think Hershey's chocolate syrup as an example. Different taste...different texture. When I noticed they make their banana split with hot fudge sauce, I thought "nooooo!" A classic BS sauces are pineapple, strawberry and chocolate. Pleeeeeze add chocolate sauce to your menu! read more

Good stuff ....the owner was super cool even though my husband couldn't see shit without his glasses lol

Owner and staff are amazing; courteous and friendly. They have thrifty ice cream if you're just there for scoops or you can level up to a shake or sundae of your choice. Yummy waffle cones and sugar cones dipped in chocolate are available too. All the toppings you can think of are available to boot. Ambiance - clean, relaxed, well decorated. The ordering area is not huge but they are opening a sitting area next door soon. There are approx 6 stairs to get inside, I didn't see an ADA ramp. read more

Go back all the time, trying each flavour! Have not had a bad one yet! Love the customer service and I go each week after my Dr. Appt so they are getting to know me! read more

Oddball Ice Cream - Pistachio and Rocky Road in waffle bowl! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Calimesa, California

I mean, it's Thrifty ice cream for $3.25 per scoop. The lady was nice, but there was no music playing. Silence in a small business is so awkward. We didn't try a specialty item, just had cones. read more

Fantastic customer service, pricing was amazing for 4 people, clean environment and delicious ice cream, what else could you ask for? They use thrifty ice cream so you know it's amazing. I wished I had taken photos of everything to post with this. read more

Very pleased we have a new ice cream place in town! Today I tried the cheesecake sundae which included a whole slice of cheesecake, strawberry ice cream, marshmallow sauce, whipped cream, and rainbow sprinkles. I definitely enjoyed it. Interior is clean but small, there is currently no seating inside, but that's okay! Would definitely recommend this place to others. read more

Oddball Ice Cream - Cheesecake sundae w/ scoop of strawberry, whipped cream, marshmallow sauce, rainbow sprinkles, and a cherry on top! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Calimesa, California

This cute little ice cream shop is perfectly located at the end of a strip mall with two restaurants and an arcade. It makes a perfect place to stop for an after-dinner treat. The ice cream is wonderful and the cones are out of this world... all served with a smile. read more

Great little ice cream shop! They had a variety of flavors. Nice welcoming customer service. Will definitely be back. Must try the Honey Churro Shake! read more

This place is new and already one my regular places! Just what the city of Calimesa needed. If you're local; you definitely appreciate not having to drive out of the city for a late night treat. This place is open later than most local businesses. The Scoops are generous and you have many flavor options. The owner is amazing and still expanding his menu; ice cream cones, Sundays, shakes! and even dog ice cream treats . The building isn't new but the owner can't control that; I've been here multiple times since it's opened and you can definitely see that a lot of work and effort has been put into this shop. My husband and I love supporting local businesses vs the big corporate ones so If you're looking for a great local ice cream shop, with friendly customer service, I highly recommend Oddball ice cream! read more

This is a great local ice cream shop. The owner is super friendly and accommodating. Lots of good flavor choices and the ice cream is like fresh. You know what I mean? Not like hard and frozen solid, it was smooth and creamy and super tasty. I really enjoyed my sundae and the shakes are amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious ice cream they even had my favorite flavor bubblegum, which is a rarity nowadays. The service was great. They were super friendly.

1 or 2 scoops? Not many places in this area that ask you that. Lots of fun cone choices like cake, sugar and waffle. All the ice cream flavor favorites are present! Old fashion feel to Oddball. And the only place in town to get your classic ice cream fix. read more

Went to get a little treat after eating sushi next door! We tried cookies and cream, black cherry and green tea ice cream! All so creamy and fresh. The employee (possibly owner?) was super friendly! We will be back for sure! read more

Weird tasting and horrid texture. Owner was preoccupied and I was the only person in the shop. Scoops are very small .ike the old thrifty scoops but 3.50 a scoop read more

Oddball Ice Cream - Fun animal creature magnets that the kids can rearrange while they wait. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Calimesa, California

Awesome people, amazing options and advice on combinations, and playing with the magnets has become a fixation I won't be able to drop anytime soon. They're very welcoming, they have a great selection, and the locals know what's up because the place gets packed. Even with a rush, people were handled majestically with respect and still fast for it being a one man band when I went in. Overall, will definitely be back with the Oddballs lol read more

Great service, price and ice cream. We will be going back soon. The owner was very nice too! read more

The staff is very friendly. This is a great place for kids! We will definitely be back for another round!

The ice cream is great and the owner is very personable. It's a small ice cream shop and my grandkids loved the waffle cones with chocolate. Plus they offer extensive flavors of ice cream to choose from. Recommend this ice cream for an inexpensive ice cream treat. They also have shakes and an assortment of treats. Ice cream is great even on a cold day!! read more
