    Old school rock n roll plays over the speakers while you enjoy your ice cream in this vintage inspired ice cream Shop.

    The more I come back here, the more I like it! It was super busy on a Friday night. But of course, the one server was very friendly and efficient. She kept the line moving and remained calm. The ice cream is delicious. Tonight I try a simple popsicle lime flavor. Loved every bite! My son who had never been here before had a chocolate covered banana and he enjoyed it. The rest of the family had various scoops of ice cream and all flavors were very satisfying. Decor is so much fun and they're always playing killer bops!

    Came back again and was not disappointed. this time I got two scoops. I got tiramisu and Ferrero Rocher. They were both really good and had amazing mix-ins. My boyfriend got a milkshake again and he got the fudge brownie and tiramisu mixed and it was amazing. This is going to be a regular spot for us

    Wow!!! What a hidden gem here at Vista Area. One of the best Ice cream/desserts places here locally. DIEGO, the staff is such an excellent employee as He did a very well job in explaining what food/flavors they are selling.He is very patient and greeted us all with a smile and a positive attitude. There's a a variety of sorbet, ice cream, paletas or popsicles and toppings.Plus they sell some mexican corn which is soo delicious and freshly made. The interior has a retro/diner vibe which feels like a turn back in time with a working jukebox all in all it is aesthetically appealing. the bathroom is soo cute and clean,I have high respect with this business.Keep it up

    Such a fun little place in town. They make all the ice cream from scratch there. You can tell they put a lot of their heart into the place and ice cream. The place is really cute and decorated in a classic, fun way. The have some seating available. I got the black cherry and vanilla ice cream. They give big scoops and the ice cream was delicious! One of the owners was working and he was super nice and pleasant to talk to.

    This place is such a hidden GEM!!!! I had been wanting to try it and so glad we finally stopped in! The aesthetics are the cutest, the service was so kind and attentive, and the ice-cream itself was DELICIOUS. Not to mention also well priced! The girl serving us also let us know all ice-creams are made in-house with natural flavors that just made our whole experience that much better. they have a cute 50s motif inside an a big bright jukebox setting the vibe. Honesty it's the kind of place you want to be in when you're enjoying a sweet treat. Also they had other michoacana type options for anyone wanting something more on the salty side. Were stoked to have this place in our neighborhood. We will definitely be back!

    This place is so cute and the ice cream is so good. There were 5 of us that all got different flavors and we enjoyed it. It's a little hidden gem and our new go to ice cream spot. It was nice to find especially since we don't have any other ice cream place near by.

    I buy some mangoneada it was so delicious and tasty. They made it with fresh ingredients

    This shop is so cool! The theme is very retro, I'm surprise with the variety of flavors they have, from classics to straight up mexican flavors! I ordered the coconut pecan which is incredible! Probably one of my favorite ice cream flavor! Such a bonus I lived 10min away.

    Churro + Oreo in a waffle cone. Generous scoops!

    Such a fun vibe as soon as you open the door! Music is fun and there's so much to look at! They have a ton of flavors to choose from and offer samples. The blueberry cheesecake had real blueberries! I went with the Oreo and Churro ice cream in a waffle cone and was pleased that my ice cream didn't melt by the time I got home (about 7 minutes away) Will be back SOON!

    Stopped by on a saturday afternoon, cute little spot by smart and final. Plenty of parking spaces, the inside looks retro old school diner vibes. Plenty of ice cream flavors, to paleta and the regular ice cream on a stick options. We had 2 scoops of coconut pecan and oh my goodness, we didn't have high expectations but it tasted so good! We are planning on bringing family members with us next time, plenty of cup/cone options as well as toppings. They staff were friendly and welcoming.

    Great little ice cream parlor. Lots of nostalgic pieces that give it some delightful character. Ice Cream is deliciously creamy! We loved it. They also offer milkshakes, malts, artisan popsicles and fruit bowls

    Is there a place to sit down?

    I know there was outside seating....it was a nice evening and there were several of us...so we sat outside. I think there may have been indoor seating....but not positive about that.

    Very pleased with my first visit to this spot. Love the nostalgic look and feel…read more Small banana split with marshmallow cream instead of pineapple was delicious. Not enough banana. Served in a cute boat shaped container. Green tea ice cream is very good and not bitter like matcha. Blueberry cheesecake shake was excellent. Real blueberries! Served with a regular straw. Needs a spoon or a wide diameter straw like a boba straw. Peeked around the corner and saw there was a hot food window too! Very decent fries--crunchy outside, fluffy inside. Awesome chicken nuggets. Is that celery salt sprinkled all over? Excellent ranch dressing!! Not the industrial junk out of a jug. Service was good all around. Is the donut shop/florist next door related to this establishment?

    Who would give less than 5 stars for this amazing, 'historical' (?) nostalgic place? Mom and pop's…read morerun business since 1960. Yeah, it's old, food is "ok' (3-stars but it's preliminary an ice cream place), it's a bit 'ghetto' and you need to pay attention as to when your order is ready (they won't call names, only orders) but it's Vista's institution! Serving perfect old fashioned soft serves, shakes and a variety of very affordable frozen treats (4 stars). Kids love this place. There is always a line and a bit of a wait. Service is mediocre at best. But... 5 stars because that's the local businesses we need and can't let go away: Vista greedy city hall is about to let it be demolished to build condos... Huge plus for: burger with special sauce, fresh fries, soft serves and banana splits!!!

    Stella Jean's new seasonal flavors, Matcha Yuzu and Banana Turon, are seriously so good and 100%…read moreworth seeking out. I ended up going twice just for the Matcha Yuzu and got a scoop on a cone each time. It's such a great summer flavor, super refreshing with a nice citrus kick from the yuzu. The matcha isn't too in your face either, which I really liked! The Banana Turon was a little harder to track down since it kept selling out, but luckily a friend grabbed me two pints when it restocked and honestly it did not disappoint. Those caramelized turon crunch bits are so addictive, I could easily finish a whole pint by myself no problem. I also tried making a matcha float with the banana turon and the flavors worked together really well, highly recommend giving it a shot. The staff is always super friendly and the service is quick. There's also plenty of seating if you want to hang outside and enjoy the sun, or you can grab your scoop and take a stroll around Carlsbad. Either way you really can't go wrong!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

While most of Stella Jean's locations are in San Diego, there is also a shop in Orange County inside The LAB in Costa Mesa. This specific shop is located inside the Cottages near Carlsbad Village. [Parking]: There's a parking lot right next to the Cottages, but it can be challenging to find available spots. Other public parking and street parking options are available in this part of the neighborhood. [Menu]: The staff lets customers sample various ice cream flavors, but the top Yelp highlighted flavors are Ube + Pandesal Toffee, Brown Butter Pecan, and Sweet Mango Sticky Rice. *** Ube + Pandesal Toffee (kids scoop - $4.95): It was solid, but I can't exactly say it was the best ice cream I have ever had. It did melt pretty quickly. *** This is a nice spot with outdoor tables for customers to sit down and enjoy their ice cream.

Remotely hidden in the back of the shopping plaza on El Camino Real & Mission Ave, is this gem of a small ice cream shop, Ocean Rainbow. One could easily drive right past them because of their small signage on the exterior. The shop is very small and see maybe 10 people. Yeah, very friendly service that is excellent and fast to greet and offer a free sample. This ice cream shop has a very large variety of flavors that are native to Mexican culture. They have ice cream scoops, milkshakes, water-based popsicles, sherbets, sundaes, chamango, banana splits, icicles, elotes, esquites, Tostilocos, popsicles, shaved ice and a whole lot more. You can find flavors like guava, rice, pistachio, coconut, Oreo, cookie dough, rocky road, mango, mamey, cactus fruit, pine nut, MAZAPAN, chamoy, tamarindo, burnt milk, Gansito and even tequila. There most popular item is the Fresas Con Crema. Prices are very reasonable and I got a 3-scoop chocolate waffle cone for $8. They also have fresh-made aguas frescas that are made to-order and esquimales too! I highly recommend checking this spot out the next time you have a sweet tooth!
