Cookie butter roll (middle) rocky road gelato (left) salted caramel (right) Here on vacation from Hawaii and Nathan was awesome recommending us popular flavors. Ice cream was bomb

Strawberry Cheesecake

This might be my new go to rolled ice cream place! We got the strawberry cheesecake rolled ice cream, and I was astonished at how creamy and soft the base was. I do wish there were slightly more graham crackers for the cheesecake taste, but overall the strawberry flavor was refreshing and flavorful. Presentation is astonishing as always, and the service was quick! I love how late this place is open, and is perfect for a 1AM treat after a night out. I will definitely be craving this place on late nights.

Rainbow pebbles and Cookies & Dream! Great service and such good ice cream!!!

Rolled Ice Cream is amazing! Fresh flavors, fast service, and super friendly staff!! !

Super friendly service. I was even offered a free lemonade while waiting, which was such a nice touch. The staff greets you right when you walk in and makes you feel welcome. I honestly haven't had ice cream in forever, so I'm really glad I got to have this experience. The matcha mochi was AMAZING perfectly balanced, not sweet, and so satisfying.

Walked in thinking I'd grab a quick dessert and ended up really enjoying the whole vibe of this place. They've got a wide selection of desserts, so there's plenty to choose from. I went with the rolled ice cream, and Nathen behind the counter absolutely nailed it. Fresh, flavorful, and fun to watch being made right in front of you. The shop also has plenty of seating and a great sound system, which makes it a nice spot to hang out for a bit instead of just grabbing dessert and leaving. If you've got a sweet tooth, this spot is definitely worth checking out. Safe to say... don't sleep on this place.

On A Roll has easily become one of my favorite spots, and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you're in the area--well deserved 5 stars! Thanks to Julia for helping me

Shoutout to Nathan, me and my girlfriend came in right before closing and he made us the perfect late night snack!

Only size bowl for $12 and up

This was a hole in the wall little ice cream spot with hip wall murals. The shop was so small we kind of passed it on the way. I know prices have gone up everywhere, but the little cup was little almost cute cuz how tiny it was for the price you pay. I have to say watching them to see how this rolled up ice cream that is made to order is interesting. I see why the prices are so high. The amount of arm work it takes for each bowl of ice cream who needs an arm day at the gym. I have to say it was an experience to see them customize your bowl of ice cream and it was tasty. There prices are set even though I didnt want all the toppings my bowl would have been the same price. However, based on prices I will not be back even though it was tasty.

Arabic coffee with  oreo upgrade

Love the Arabic coffee with oreo instead of the cookie offered I added on whipped cream and it was good . Good friendly service . Found this place thanks to yelp.

Took off a star because unfortunately there was only 1 person employed today, a Sunday, and there was a family of 7 in front of us plus another couple, so the poor worker had 9 rolls to make by herself before she could get to us. We had already paid before realizing that she would be spending the next 45 making ice cream before she could get to ours. Not her fault but it was a unpleasant experience waiting 45mins for roll ice cream on a weekend when there are other places we could have gone.

I love rolled ice cream. I work nearby and I'm surprised Anaheim doesn't have too many of these lying around and this place is open kinda late for otherwise just desserts. Usually not too many people that I can just get in and out but if they only staff one person sometimes, you'd definitely be waiting for a bit. So far from two experiences, it's really good and the other, pretty bad. The good experience would be with at least two people working at the same time and whom ever at the cashier spot sounding like they care about my business. The other time was when it was just a man, he looked tired and didn't sound like he cared about my order, but thankfully he still made it the way I wanted it. Parking can get a little tricky here but it's worth a shot to try it out.

Joe's Italian ice is great. One of the best I've had…read more We went here on a weeknight and the line was wrapped around the block. Parking was a nightmare (this sounds like a theme in So-Cal). We did get lucky and got parking on the side street since someone right in front of us was leaving. The line does move quick though. They have 10 order stations. We got here 30 min before closing and were able to get our order in before they closed. The most popular item is the Joe Latti, which is vanilla ice cream with your choice of Italian ice flavor. We got to sample flavors before ordering as well. I ended up getting wild cherry and mango tango, which was a good combo. The mango was sweet, just the way I like it. My group all got a mix of flavors and everyone enjoyed their joe Latti as well. Customer service was great. They answered all our questions since it was our first time here. The place is always crowded, and there is limited seating and tables in front. We were lucky to get a table. There was also kids revving and speeding up and down the street, so just an FYI. It was really loud and distracting. I would go back here in a heartbeat over any place in sac.

First time (after 30 years of living in OC)…read more I can see why people like it. The bases are very fruity and the ice cream on top is very rich and milky. Line was crazy long but it honestly moved super fast. Tried the peach mango flavor and cookie butter. Only small complaint was they only let us sample 4 flavors and the worker was a bit short with us. Figured just long day or something no big deal

Cauldron is amazing!…read more Used to enjoy the San Diego location frequently but they went out of business a few years ago. Was in the area this evening after a kids event and grabbed some Cauldron. Still fantastic! Made fresh, super creamy and delicious! My wife got the Puffle with Milk & Cereal flavor, enjoyed it a ton. Kids and I all got mint chocolate chip, VERY creamy with big chunks of chocolate. Wish we had one closer to home! Highly recommend.

From the ads and pictures everything seemed cool. The way they make ice cream is unique and I'll…read moregive it that. So let's get to it. We ordered three things; mint chocolate chip, rose, and milk and cereal. All with a bubble waffle cone. The service was disappointing, the guy who worked there seemed like he didn't care and it was just another job. No life to him and was just rude about asking the code for the bathroom. The mint and chip is basic. Nothing too much about it. My kids like it, so I got it. Average 3/5. The rose ice cream tasted like a rose, it was pretty good and very floral. The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.

However one worker (kelvin bless his heart) was working the front alone and my daughter and I were asked to hold on to place an order for over 10 mins is excessive when two workers came out to the front when the line began wrapping around inside. Then... a double order was made by Karina and I asked if we could have one of them because they were going to trash them and she said no very rudely and then threw all 4 brand new soft serves away. We placed our order and then the remainder of the line was placing their orders and since we ordered taiyaki I knew we would have to wait but they didn't start making our taiyakis until 6 groups who were behind us were served their orders first THEN they started making ours. So basically we've been waiting in here for like 20 + mins now for something that shouldn't take more than 5 max 10 mins. Once we got our taiyakis they were BURNT. I asked for new ones and Karina said no it's just Nutella. Sorry but no... this was our worst experience at a somi somi and I love the flavors and what they have to offer at this chain but honestly the service here is really bad.
