A hidden little shop in downtown. Some ice cream or a slush, here is where to get it. Super great people, good flavors; you don't want to miss this place, especially as the hot days are coming.

Orange cream/strawberry and Sour Apple/strawberry $12 each.
Bobby L.

I'm sure glad the ice cream place across the street ran out of all the flavors we wanted to try because we discovered this place and it is amazing! I don't know why there aren't more reviews on this place. I don't usually give out 5*'s unless I really like the establishment and this place exceeded by expectations. I want to note this place is super clean, hidden away in a back alley off the main street, when we walked in this place was very clean and well decorated especially for Halloween! Firstly, they use Straus Cream for their soft serve! Super creamy with a silky smooth texture and decadent. We ended up getting the combo which is $12 and you choose a slush and a soft serve flavor. I would recommend getting the vanilla, which you wouldn't normally hear me say, but the machine adds this syrup/flavoring in the soft serve that isn't really my favorite. We got the sour apple slush in one and orange cream in the other with strawberry soft serve. Service here is a little on the slower side because it was the owner working the entire shop by himself orders and all, but he was super nice and friendly. This place would give meadowlark in Pleasanton a run for it's money for sure! I'd like to add that their pup cup sizes here are generous and my dogs loved it! When I'm in the area I'll be back!

Regular chocolate soft serve and orange slush combo

Thanks to Yelp Elite Jamie C's review, I got the orange slush and chocolate soft serve combo and it was very yummy! The flavor combination was excellent, but I also enjoyed each flavor on its own. I got the regular size which was very generous, good for sharing. Service was fast and friendly, and we enjoyed sitting outside at the nearby plaza to listen to live music on a Sunday afternoon.

Sour Apple and strawberry Orange cream and strawberry

Owner was super nice and informative. The flavors were super refreshing And not syrupy. The price was amazing for the amount we got. We can't wait to go back again.

Combo mango slushy & caramel soft serve.in alternating layers.

Once Upon A Slush is a small cute shop hidden in a little courtyard. It serves, slushies, Strauss organic soft serve, coffee drinks, hot dogs, popcorn, soup, chilli, and grilled cheese sandwiches. The slushies and soft serve are the stars of Once Upon A Slush. You can even make combos or shakes of a slushy & soft serve. There are five tables for indoor seating, and two tables for outdoor seating. I came here after my husband noticed a lot of young people coming out of Once Upon A Slush. We were curious about what everyone was eating from there so we wandered in. Like a lot of customers, we ordered a combo of a slushy & a soft serve. We chose a combo of mango slushy & caramel soft serve. It was served in alternating layers of slushy and soft serve which was nice to get the change after a few bites. It was delicious and refreshing for a warm day. The mango slushy was sweet, soft, and had a lot of mango flavor. The caramel soft serve was creamy & sweet. The owner, Dave, was friendly and was a one man show. He took the orders, made the products, and served the orders. He was quick though. Once Upon A Slush is a cozy little place where one can gather with friends for coffee, slushies, soft serve, and snacks. Or just take it to go. The special treats from Once Upon A Slush are delicious and we will be back,

root beer soft serve and cherry slush!
Jamie C.

Great dessert spot in downtown Petaluma! I love walking here after a nice dinner out, it's such a fun treat. The inside is small but decorated with a cute fantasy theme, and the people working are always so friendly! Although it is located in the American Alley, so the surrounding area isn't the nicest, but I personally like to take it over to the edge of the river and enjoy it there! The four of us ordered a couple different things! I ordered a small combo with root beer soft serve and cherry slush. One thing I will note is that the depending on what flavor slush you get, it can be a little flavorless. Finding one that is good can take a little bit of trial and error! Personally, I like the cherry slush with a select few soft serve options. The root beer was very good! One of my friends ordered a kids sized combo with chocolate soft serve and orange slush. Such a delicious combination if you like orange and chocolate! It tasted just like a Jaffa Cake. The orange is also one of the better slush flavors. Another one of my friends got a kids sized toasted marshmallow soft serve with root beer slush. This tasted just like a root beer float, and will probably be my new favorite order from there! It was so yummy. The fourth friend ordered a small banana soft serve, and it tasted exactly like a banana laffy taffy (if you're into that)! Not my personal favorite but worth a try. Overall I would absolutely recommend trying this Petaluma staple at least once if you're in the area!

This is an orange frozen confection with soft serve vanilla. The shop is a very small with a cool location. Never had anything like it and the quality is sensational. Many flavors of soft serve and frozen confection that can be combined all sorts of ways. The density and taste are perfect. My granddaughter and I loved it! We're going to take Dave (the owner) a copy of his place with the flying unicorn.

Cherry vanilla and mango strawberry

Soo good!!! So many flavors to pick from!! The kids will love on a hot day or just for a sweet snack!

Vanilla soft serve

A small ice cream and soft serve store in Petaluma. The location is a bit difficult to find it's in an alleyway. The place was pretty packed but the wait was around 5 minutes. We got the small combo and child soft serve. The child size was perfect for me the cup sizes are pretty large despite the name. The soft serve was creamy and delicious. The flavor wasn't too milky or creamy just the right taste. Definitely a place to check out!

It's also great for sharing a few different flavors with friends. On this visit, I ordered the Strawberry Mango Snow with extra condensed milk. Both were refreshing, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The fruit tasted fresh, and the extra condensed milk added the perfect amount of richness to every bite. Ordering was quick and convenient through the self-service kiosk, and our desserts were ready within just a few minutes. The process was smooth and efficient, making it an easy place to stop by for a quick treat. Another thing I appreciated was the spacious seating area. There was plenty of room to sit and chat, making it a great spot to catch up with friends over dessert. The toppings on the snow dessert were generous and complemented the shaved ice perfectly. Overall, if you're looking for a lighter, more manageable portion of bingsoo that still delivers on flavor, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. The desserts are delicious, the service is quick, and the atmosphere makes it a great place to relax and enjoy something sweet.

I knew this place was the real deal from the yelp pictures and I'm so glad I came here for dessert. It was so hard choosing a base flavor, but opted for the strawberry with passion fruit glaze and oh my god this was life changing. The texture of the ice itself was light, airy, and not too sweet, which is perfect for me. The passion fruit glaze added that depth of fruity flavor and honestly this large size was more than enough to share with 2 people. Parking: it's hard to find around the area, so good luck. The shop itself is small and you can't really eat inside but they have tables outside you can enjoy. I will be back for more and bring some friends to check it out!!

All of their flavors sounded good, and I wish I could sample all of them. I ended up going with the Valencia in a regular size so I could avoid decision anxiety; this was a preset bowl of horchata shaved ice with different toppings that was exactly what I was craving. My friend got the other preset option, Cereal Killer, which tasted just like fruity pebbles ice cream as promised. It looks like a lot when first presented to you (like so high and so fluffy), but as you eat it, the toppings start making the ice sink lol. A more manageable portion size after that :) Their shop is small with not much waiting room besides a bench against the window, and I think most people go to their outside tables to eat their shaved ice. Not super ideal for cold windy evenings like when we went, and we huddled in my car to finish them. Definitely mind any shaved ice that might topple over the edge when you first dive in since they pack it real tight. Worth your moola! I will absolutely come back to try other flavors and still order a regular just for myself :)

On this particular Saturday my friend used his handy dandy Yelp app to find something in Petaluma for some sort of dessert and Trader Jim's popped up as being at the Farmer's Market at Walnut Park on the west side of Petaluma so we decided to go. We started strolling by all the different stands and offerings and then there it was the Trader Jim's Tiki trailer. We couldn't wait to get a taste of their pineapple whip! I had the pineapple float which was the pineapple whip in a cup with pineapple juice. Talk about delicious!!! And the price was right! Don't forget there is no need to travel to Southern California when you have a hankering for that delicious pineapple whip as you need not look any further than your own backyard and Trader Jim's Tiki Trailer.
