I love this place. It's what I recall as being a typical ice cream parlor and the staff always serve up their frozen offerings with a huge smile. Today's young and bouncy server even offered up a small cup of chopped peanuts when I mentioned that nuts are mandatory, not optional. I've saved the best for last. Umpqua ice cream is served along with Cascadia ice cream. I'm an Umqua frozen yogurt fan and their ice cream is an extra special treat. Great hang, great ice cream. read more

The staff is awesome and friendly, the shop is cute and clean, and the ice cream is reasonably priced and absolutely delicous. What more could you want? read more

Drove by this place and noticed the line so had to swing back and stop. This is a cool little ice cream shop right by the go carts. The staff were super friendly and joked around with us while we tried to pick from the dozens of flavors. Their scoops are generous with waffle cones being made fresh. We got a double cone with huckleberry cheesecake and lemon bar. Match made in heaven! When we asked if they did pup cups our server asked if we wanted whipped cream or vanilla ice cream?!? We got the vanilla - Our dogs have never been happier LOL There is limited seating inside with a soda shop feel. We will be back on our next trip! read more

I love this little ice cream shop and we visit it every single time we visit the beach, rain or shine. It honestly always has a line and you can expect to wait a few minutes. Usually, even when it's busy you'll find a seat either inside or out but it's likely your table will be sticky and messy. It's not a perfect experience but, the workers are always friendly and the ice cream is great. We love ordering the banana split so that we get a little of a few types of ice creams to try. Their cones, mini donuts and drinks are also good. They are busy and you can tell but, it's the best ice cream you'll find in the area. read more

So my boss yelled at me while I was at work and what's the best thing after that? Ice cream! I stopped in and was pleasantly surprised to find Umpqua Ice Cream! And in my flurry of dried up tears, I picked the most obnoxiously bright ice cream. The cotton candy. I was pleasantly more surprised to find the taste subtle and not overly fake. The place is your typical ice cream joint with friendly staff and plenty of tables. There's an arcade of some sort attached. Definitely worth trying if you're in town! read more

Decent ice cream, all made by Umpqua, based out of Roseburg, Oregon. Price is a bit steep for a single cone. They have spumoni, and I've gotten that flavor I think every time I've been here. They advertise pretzels and donuts, but didn't see either the couple of times I've been here. Some restaurants in this town don't offer any desserts and when I've asked about it, they've referred me to this place. Dirt/gravel parking area with some pot holes. Watch your step. read more

Aaliyah was absolutely fabulous . She suggested the best flavor combo. This is our favorite ice cream spot. So many good flavors and they have fudge too...... read more

This place was packed but worth the wait! It was a busy Sunday but the line moved really quick for how many large groups were being served! My partner and I were so overwhelmed by the number of flavors we both got a banana split so we could try our favorites! We tried the following flavors: - Kona Coffee - Salted Caramel - Mint Chocolate Chip - Huckleberry Heaven - Bordeaux Cherry - Death by Chocolate Every single flavor was amazing and high quality tasting! My favorite was the Huckleberry and his was the Salted Caramel. Seating is limited so be prepared to wait for a seat or even sitting in your car! Overall worth the not so long wait and the staff was great. We'll go back next time we visit! read more

YUM!!! You can smell the waffle cones being made when you are walking down the street! The service is awesome and the ice cream flavors are incredible!! Absolute must stop when visiting Ocean Shores!! I had the lemon bar ice cream and it was to die for!!! read more

The ice cream at this place is the real deal. I went with the lemon meringue pie flavor. It had bits of pie crust folded into it, which made it absolutely sublime. I sampled the rocky road, and holy hell that chocolate ice cream was top notch! If you notice a long line, don't despair. It's worth it. read more

Best Icecream in shores, great service always top notch clean environment thank you for all you do

I thought this place was great. Right as I walked in, I was able to walk up to the ice cream counter and place my order. I got the triple chocolate, and loved it. I believe it had white chocolate, milk chocolate, and chocolate chips. I thought it was amazing. I hope to come back to this place sometime read more

How could this place be any less than 10 stars? The wait is llllooonnnggggg but isn't that a sign??? I went both Fri and Sat night around 9:30 during Hog Wild 2019 and it was slammed!!!! I easily waited 20+ minutes to get my sweet treats, so if you do come PLEASE be patient! They offer tons of flavors... You need to read all the boards with flavors bc some of the flavors are not in the case. Also, you can just ask for a specific flavor and they will let you know of they have it or not. The girls who work here are adorable, really sweet and quirky, and they seem to enjoy their jobs and making the customers happy. The ice cream is delicious, and the portions are HUGE!!!!!!! They offer a variety of shakes, malts, sundaes, scoops, cones, and a few non dairy sorbet options. Bc I don't do dairy I got the Raspberry Sorbet in a brownie sundae, which includes a brownie, 3 types of ice cream and any toppings you want. I just got the one flavor, hot fudge and sprinkles. I was HOOKED UP! Thus why I came back Saturday night and got it all over again:) I also got 2 scoops of cookie dough for the FIL, my nephew had 1 scoop cookie dough 1 and scoop choc brownie. My hubs had 1 scoop mac nut fro yo and.... Maybe the pecan in a waffle cone! We all mowed down our ice cream and it was TOTALLY WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! You all know im a health nut and for me to come here both nights in a row for this treat says alot. I did stop in the other ice cream shop at OC and while it smelled delicious.... They just didnt have the non dairy flavor selection and the feel just wasn't the same. If you only have time for one ice cream experience at OS I would recommend Peppermint Parlor no doubt! Suggestion.... Girls should wear name tags so we YELPERS can give shout outs! The team was soooo sweet and I was sooo impressed with their customer service skills especially under so much pressure! Tips... Shakes seemed to be a popular item here... They come in 21 or 32 oz... So I would suggest sharing! Brownie sundae is outstanding... Banana split looked awesome... They HOOK you up so be prepared if you order 2 scoops... You can sample as many flavors aa you want... Ask for specific flavors if you don't see it on a menu (they might have it in the back)... Be patient and don't come in a hurry... Prices are resonable... YUM!!!! read more

I'm starting to think that people review things at ocean shores on a much lesser scale than they would a normal town and have Lower expectations from places. Because I rely on real reviews I'm going to continue to rate them the same as I would any establishment in any town. So this place gets great reviews. Read below ! I was so excited to try it. Now I don't know if it's all the salt in the sea air or what but the service here, attitudes mainly could not have been worse. Specifically from the young lady wearing the dog collar maybe in an attempt to hide the hickeys on her neck. I swear she must've been on drugs for how disconnected she was. We were looking at the ice cream flavors and she said let me know when you guys are ready. And then she walked away ... she came back 30 seconds later and leaned against the back counter and then said I'm ready when you are. Oh I'm sorry our mistake for being confused because you said you would help us and then left. One of the things we tried to order was lemon sorbet. Out. Ok so then mango? "Ugh I have to go to the back and get that then." We get our other scoops (2 items). She comes back with a pint of sorbet and she drops it on the ground while she's trying to scoop it out. The whole pint. And she looks at her coworker and then me and says I have to go get another one. I highly doubt she got another one. We get our other two items and the older lady making cones, the only one that working who isn't a young adult is telling her to put it in the microwave to make it easier to scoop out. So we get our 2 items and my son is waiting 3 minutes for his sorbet we ring up $14 not bad, for the bill. We sit down, eat ice cream and wait for the 3rd one to be mic'd. Girl in collar comes out saying sorbet mango sorbet who got this sorbet ???????!! My son walks up to the counter and she's like who's mango sorbet and I point to him and say his ! Like we've been in here for 10 minutes and one person ordered sorbet and you can't remember or see anything who it was ? We're sitting at the table right by the register. Umpqua ice cream is good but we won't be going in there again. Bad attitude and bad service. The scoops were huge though and there are many flavors. read more

This was again the finale of our most recent birthday tour of Ocean Shores. The two young people working the counter provided our family top notch customer service! We were greeted with a smile when we came in, we weren't rushed and the young woman was available as soon as we knew what we wanted and her teammate came over to help get our four cones. The birthday boy selected the bubble gum flavor with Chiclets in the ice cream and he asked me if he could spit out the gum onto a napkin to save for the end; the young man walked over and gave us a cup to use instead. I keep mentioning they were "young" because I'm so used to having to make excuses for terrible service with a certain age group because, you know, they probably are still learning how to provide customer service? Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised. They were attentive, worked as a team and were kind to us. I can't wait to come back in 6 months. I got the Almond Fudge Espresso Explosion again, my daughter got Strawberry and my partner got Cookie Dough. They were all, again, delicious. read more

Literally the best ice cream I've ever had the waffle cone was warm and fresh you can smell them strongly when you walk in their making them the whole day so it's never an old cone and the ice cream was extremely tasty definitely coming back best to get ice cream in ocean shores read more

Lots of flavors and huge servings. We got junior waffle cones with 2 scoops. My wife asked for 2 flavors and I watched as they packed 2 scoops of one and then 2 scoops of another. If I had known how much they would give, I would have asked for one scoop. No indoor service as of last week in June 2021 but they should be able to open up as the state relaxes restrictions. Prices seem a bit expensive until you see how much you get. read more

Ice cream was delicious, lots of choices, and the prices were very reasonable. I had the Lemon Bar and it was delicious and refreshing on a hot day. The place is small so you might need to take it to go. The line was out the door, but worth the wait. read more

We didn't go in the arcade area so this review is for the food area only. They have lots of ice cream flavor choices. Unfortunately there is only one sugar free option. I asked if they ever had any more or other ones and they said no. There were lots of people but they got through the line pretty fast. There are just a few tables inside. The prices and service here are so much better than other ice cream options in the town. read more

Had a pleasant visit here. The staff wears masks properly. I waited outside the door as it was busy with a gaggle of kids and moms inside. We were staying at a local hotel and found this place. The black licorice ice cream intrigued me. They were willing to divide up a one scope order into two different flavors. I got black licorice and chocolate peanut butter cup. My wife got a scoop of pistachio almond and rocky road. It was quality ice cream. Glacier brand. The clerk evidently charged me for two scoops but that was okay as I'm sure their business is down due to covid 19. The scoops are very generous. My wife says she would've gotten one scoop if she had known. We took a 3 minute drive west to the ocean and parked on the sand facing the ocean then took a walk by the surf. I recommend it! read more

Another great stop in Ocean Shores! We decided to swing by on the way back to the house & grab some ice cream. The little guy got a scoop of orange sherbet in a cup, the wife got a scoop of cookies & cream in a waffle cone while I got a scoop of wild Mt. blackberry. All 3 of us loved the ice cream to the point where there was basically no conversation until it was gone. The atmosphere was fantastic! It was later in the day on a Sunday afternoon and the staff was still all smiles. It's a very happy, inviting environment with music, candy & ice cream. There's music playing, a coffee shop & a selection of sodas from when I was a kid. The options were endless, from a huge selection of flavors to different concoctions of drinks. The price was very reasonable. This will definitely be a stop every time we come into the area! read more

The ice cream was delicious and the staff was very friendly and efficient. We were a group of 4 and had 2 milks and 2 waffle cones.

They have a ton of different ice cream flavor and everything looked fresh. The flavors we had were all really tasty. I was surprised to see a half dozen or more different flavors for soft serve. Looks like they also have hot food too and espresso. Will have to try those next time. Highly recommend for your cold treat fix! read more

They have the BEST black licorice ice cream! It's extremely healthy for the digestive system... if you know what I mean. Also my favorite worker there is Matthew R. He's the best! Go Peppermint Parlor! read more

Attendant was quick and helpful in assisting me with what ice cream size to get my kids.

Love their ice cream and the selection is really great! I don't like black licorice but they have a pure black licorice ice cream for those who do. I ordered my favorite Sea Salt Caramel - 2 generous scoops in a cup! Today the downside was that one of the workers probably took 20 minutes to make 2 malts (thankfully for another customer).....good lord.....that's even with a machine! Sad to say she didn't seem hurried either - she sauntered about - I think a sloth might move faster LOL Still awesome ice cream with the wait - I AM HAPPY!! read more

Decent ice cream and selection of flavors. Nothing mind blowing. Prices seem average for the amount, maybe on the high side. They do carry huckleberry ice cream but my kids weren't interested. Too bad as I would have liked to try it. read more

My goodness! I have lived in Shores my entire life and to this day my mother, and siblings go in there here and there but always get the same thing. EVERY SINGLE TIME. If your looking for a nice super tasty treat this is the place! For someone who doesn't like black licorice (my mom, sister AND me) we tend to be attracted to the amazing flavor of the peppermint parlors black licorice ice cream! It has a hint of the flavor at first but I swear to all you not so much fans of BL, IT IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST TUB THEY HAVE!!! please give it a try, I promise you, you will be thanking me BUT you have to get this super amazing and delicious flavor combo.....(2 scoops) 1 scoop of Black Licorice and 1 of Cotton Candy! It is seriously to die for!!!! 5 stars from me and my fam! Not to mention the color combo of the two ice creams together looks pretty rad Lol! read more

Peppermint Parlor - Excuse the face LOL. Cotton Candy and Black licorice. Best ice cream/ice cream combination ever!!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ocean Shores, Washington

Delicious huckleberry shakes, smells so good of waffle cones in their restaurant. Clean restrooms and friendly staff.

We visited yesterday and while the ice cream was delicious, we have to give a huge shout out to Tamara one of the employees who was working so hard to accommodate so many people in line. We also appreciated the social distancing. Please visit and be sure to give Tamara some love. read more

This place is adorable. TONS of ice cream flavors. I wish we had gone here instead of the other shops in town originally. Not nearly as busy and way bigger selection. We didn't do the go carts but will next time! read more

Ice cream was just okay. It almost tasted like it was a bit freezer burnt. Not so bad that I stopped eating but definitely not the best ice cream I ever had. read more

This was the worst ice cream I've ever had. Flavorless. Stale. Freezer burned flavor. Gross. The moose tracks was bad, everybody thought so. The chocolate peanut butter was like cardboard. When you are THE ice cream place in town, it should be FRESH as can be. Very disappointing. read more

I'll start by saying I gave it 1 star because the ice cream was good, however, that's about the only good thing here. Customer service was beyond horrible for our 1 and only visit to this place. We were in Ocean shores this weekend and decided to grab some ice cream Saturday afternoon. The young girl took our order and as she went to ring us up I handed her my Bank of America Visa card. She swipes it, and all of a sudden their computer freezes. Instead of apologizing for their 1980's era credit card computer, she proceeds to yell out to the other employee who's helping another group of people across the store "THIS CUSTOMERS CARD FROZE OUR MACHINE! O-M-G THEIR CARD BROKE THE MACHINE!!" I stare at her and say "excuse me, are you seriously yelling to your coworker that my card broke your machine!??" I point out to her that I've used the card all weekend, including 5 minutes prior to coming here and its worked fine. She gives me this frustrated look and tries the other 1980's era credit card computer. The other machine freezes and she throws her hands up and once again she yells across the store "O-M-G HIS CARD BROKE OUR OTHER COMPUTER!!!!!" I ask for the card back, pay with cash and leave. Won't ever be visiting this place again, what a shame that horrible customer service can ruin a great little place. PS - I used the card 4 minutes later and it worked fine.......makes me think the 1980's credit card machine needs to be replaced. read more

I always stop here for ice cream before leaving the area. It is priced decently and has a good variety. The kids love it as do I.

Excellent service (even though super busy)! Loved the Umquoia Oregon (local) ice cream and waffle cones ere so fresh! Definitely will go back! read more

We were in town for one night while on vacation and wanted some ice cream. The hotel front desk person told us that this place had really good ice cream. I will give them credit for that though, but they really need to look at who they have working behind their counter as it is a reflection of their business. The girl that was helping us was SO rude. I asked her if they offered samples and her response was " I guess if I have to, I can give you one". There was just a couple of different flavors we were debating on getting and each time we asked her for a sample she would roll her eyes at us, put the tiniest amount ( like barely enough to even taste) on a spoon and ask if that was the flavor we wanted. She was very disrespectful and definitely made the place not very family friendly. When we didn't order within a few minutes she told us we needed to decide because she was busy, even though we were the only ones in there besides possibly a group of her friends and another employee. We ordered our ice cream and left to eat it at our hotel instead of staying there because her attitude was absolutely disgusting, but the ice cream was really good. read more
