Excellent quality ice cream. Kinda pricey, but servings are good amount. Got the single + extra + extra = 3 scoops I guess. And it was packed into the larger cup for an overindulgence for me and my wife, lol! Pistachio has tons of pieces. Salted caramel so smooth and satisfying. Wife always enjoys any of the coffee flavors. Several locations, like the one in SB market and tried Carpinteria. This location had the friendliest gal who helped us in Feb. Great location for Rori's! Only the prices help prevent me from eating too much of it! read more

Rori's Artisanal Creamery - Cone or Cup, your Choice!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Carpinteria, California

Rori's is my go to when I'm craving ice cream. Yes, it's on the pricier side but the quality, portions and flavors match the price point. Plus the ice cream is made with real ingredients as opposed to artificial. My favorite flavors here are brown sugar banana and now the strawberry cheesecake. I loved the little chunks of cheesecake and the strawberry flavor was so good! Not too sweet. A great combo and you can split the flavors if ordering a single scoop. I normally go to the one in Santa Barbara at the Public Market, but this location is a smaller space with no seating or A/C inside. There are tables outside though and you get a nice view of the Main Street. I definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

Oh Rori's. Nestled in a tiny shop, sharing space with a great Mexican restaurant. You are a gem! It's a little tight inside with people when it's busy but it's worth it. The ice cream is hard to beat and their scoop sizes are pretty large and generous. They have a great option for the kids with unlimited toppings. Mind blown! It's also an easy walk up from the beach, totally worth it. read more

Love this place!! It was super busy but like went quick, staff is super sweet and icecream is delicious !! I love their almond crunch ice cream. The honey lavender is delicious. The peanut butter chocolate is amazing. read more

It was my first time at the Carpinteria location. It's smaller than the one in my hometown of Ventura. Inside the shop your order what you want and then there are picnic style tables outside if you want to sit. They are also walking distance to the beach so I imagine that would be an enjoyable option on a warm day, which thankfully we have a lot of in Souther California. Today, I was drawn in by the Hot Chocolate and Ice Cream offering. Think Affogato. The service was excellent. She was very attentive to the smallest details. I decided to pair my hot chocolate with the Honey Lavender ice cream and it was a dream. So creamy and delicious. As a topping I had the cobbler crumble on the side. I enjoyed it outside as the sun was setting. Two recommendations I have is making sure the ice cream to hot chocolate ratio is balanced because once the ice cream that wasn't melted is consumed you are left with a less than full cup of hot chocolate, and the unmelted ice cream was at best 5 spoonfuls. Also, if there is a way to not use a microwave that would elevate the experience. For myself even though I enjoyed the new offering, I don't know if I would order again because of that. Just a thought. Overall, I love Rory's. The flavors of ice cream are delicious and unique. Some of my favorites are the Honey Lavender, Lemon Curd and the Passionfruit. read more

Came to Carpenteria craving ice-cream on a hot summer day to cool me down, and Rori's refreshed me for sure! It may be a little pricey, but not for no reason: The workers fill up your bowl/cone; portions are fantastic. read more

After a beach day, we were craving something sweet before heading back to Santa Clarita -- and wow, this spot delivered and then some. Honestly... this place might've ruined ice cream for me anywhere else I tried the Honey Almond Crunch and their Star-Spangled Banner July special, and both were absolutely incredible. The ice cream is so creamy, rich, and flavorful -- you can tell they don't skimp on quality. The jam in the Star-Spangled Banner was perfectly sweet and swirled throughout the scoop, while the Honey Almond Crunch was smooth, nutty, and delicious. The portions are huge -- one regular scoop was more than enough (I couldn't even finish!). I also loved how kind and attentive the staff were. They offered to keep my pints in their freezer while we enjoyed our cones outside -- such a thoughtful touch. And yes... I definitely took a couple pints home with me. If you're in the area or just wrapping up a day at the beach, this place is a must. Creamy indulgent perfection. Can't wait to come back! read more

Rori's Artisanal Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Carpinteria, California

Store is small because it's split into two restaurants/stores. So it's a bit hard for a stroller or walker etc to get through. You order at the counter. Some seating outside (only ones marked for Roris). The ice cream itself is really yummy and fresh! The best in my opinion is the peanut butter candy flavor with homemade peanut butter candies, it's like Halloween candy in a cup. My daughter loves chocolate with chocolate chips, perfect for a chocolate lover and we did the itty bitty size perfect for a toddler and if you just want a small scoop. read more

Delicious ice cream, friendly staff, GENEROUS scoop sizes. I didn't take a picture of my ice cream because I devoured it instantly... forgive me! Anyways this place has some delicious and unique ice cream flavors (like the black pepper pistachio which was great). The fresh mint patty was like no ice cream flavor I've had. Not like a normal mint ice cream, it really did taste like fresh mint. You can sample as much as you want to try them out! The single scoop is incredibly big. The itty bitty size was the perfect amount to satisfy your craving and feeling happy :). They also do split flavors if you are like me and can't decide. The shop itself is small with no inside seating but they have a couple picnic tables outside to use. Both inside and outside the shop are clean and well kept! OH and you can get a free dog ice cream with a purchase! It's a nice touch. read more

Unique flavors and mouth watering ice cream. I got the peanut butter chocolate and it was more peanut butter than chocolate. It was still good! I also tried the chocolate malt ball which was so good! Quick wait but I went on an off time on a Monday. This place is packed on the weekends but they're open for a late night sweet. It's a small store front but they have seating outside. read more

Delicious ice cream with a wide variety of flavors to choose! Price justifiable! Right down the street from where my family and I are staying!! I had the Nutella ice cream and it was just so creamy, chocolate and nutty. Perfect balance! The girls working were very friendly and patient with us as it was our first time in! Will be coming back!! read more

After getting tacos from next door, we came over here and got some ice cream. It was delicious. The line is out the door because it is so good. Highly recommend you stop in for a treat. They have pints already packaged or you can have them scoop one for you read more

After lunch, we walked across the street to Rori's to satisfy our sweet craving! The spot is pretty tiny when you walk in, not a lot of people can be inside all at once. We were served pretty quickly and the gal was friendly. We got to try 3 samples (the max per person) and then decided on the strawberry cheesecake and pistachio ice cream! The cone was perfection and had a great fresh taste. The ice cream was creamy and hit the spot for us. read more

This place is phenomenal. My favorite ice cream of all time was Swenson's Ice Cream Parlor. I used to work there years ago. However, they all closed except for this one in San Francisco. Now, this is my favorite ice cream. I'm an ice cream snob and if I say it's good, you better believe it. This place should only be getting 5 stars period. Sure, people say it is on the pricier side. However, their small ice cream is two giant scoops anywhere else. All the ingredients are fresh and plenty of chunks in there as well. I guarantee you will like it. Cheers! read more

Pros: REALLY tasty ice cream AND non-dairy (and vegan) options. Cons: small interior Overall: If you're in the neighborhood and like ice cream, then TREAT YOSELF. The family was doing a weekend away and we decided to get treats. My wife found this place and suggested we try it. Good choice. The ice creams we got were delicious. The non-dairy options were tasty (at least, the one we tried). And the flavors we didn't try still sounded good. The folks behind the counter were helpful, friendly, and pleasant. read more

The black pepper pistachio ice cream was great. Love that they offer an "itty bitty" scoop for a small serving.

This place is your average, delicious ice cream spot. But it's so pricey! We walked in around 3:00 on a weekday, it was nice and empty. The worker who was scooping for us was helpful, but her replies were snappy and impatient. The ice cream is a bit on the expensive si, so we both got kids cups, and they served a substantial amount of ice cream. There are only 3 dairy free options. The inside does not have a lot of seating but the outside has benches and chairs to sit and enjoy. After we ordered, our ice cream was served in a quick fashion, we paid and left. The ice cream was delicious! Very creamy and rich. A bit more milk-y and soft than average, which I enjoyed. Service was neither amazing nor horrible, and the ice cream was delicious. Expect an average but tasty experience. read more

It was a pleasure to meet Rori on a quiet Sunday at the Apiary! Thanks for sharing info on your lovely ice cream shop and your latest creation! New creations every month can be had at the shop! The ice cream was fun, perfectly balanced with flavor and creamy! The sprinkles were a lovely touch! The ice cream was super yummy! If you are in the area, drop in for some ice cream! Super close to the 101 in Camarillo! read more

Yeah, ice cream was good, but fair warning for those with celiac disease... The homemade gluten-free cones are not safe for celiac, they are made on the same waffle maker as the regular comes. They changed gloves and scoopers when you tell them about celiac, and there is not much worry with cross contamination with the ice cream as it is almost all gluten free... The gluten-free cones are fine for a dietary choice, but not for a medical restriction. read more

Really really good Ice cream. I had the peanut butter candy flavor and it was legit. I'm ready to go back for more. Downside- pricey.

Small place makes getting the ice cream a little challenging, but it's worth it! Great gluten free options for my daughter.

I got a scoop of the lemon curd in a cup with a cone on top! It was delicious, I personally love lemon desserts. I have never had lemon ice cream, it tasted like lemon meringue pie. I would recommend it! The cone was average. It's small, & service is quick. They let you try samples for free. I would come back, it is pricy for ice cream though. read more

Amazing Ice Cream! Lovely little place. Took our family here for Spring break. Highly recommend.

I went by for my second visit last night. First time I've had a chance to get back in a few months. I ordered the Salted Caramel. It was divine! Definitely some of the tastiest ice cream I've ever had. Now, per my complaint from my last visit: During my last visit, I'd ordered Salted Caramel on a sugar cone. I was barely out of the place before it was melting and literally streaming down my hand and onto my clothes (hence my less than stellar review). I remembered that this time and asked how melty the ice cream was. The server checked, and it looked really melty. I thought maybe I should get another flavor, and inquired about the Honey Almond Crunch. Also really melty. The server volunteered at that point that the caramel and honey flavors tended to be a little meltier due to the caramel and honey. We ultimately settled on getting ice cream in a cup, topped with a cone. My one and only complaint: if it is known that honey and caramel flavors have a lower melt temperature, let clients know before they wander out with a mess. Assuming the customer will know isn't helpful to the customer, because they won't. It was a much better experience this time. I really got to enjoy the ice cream without the panic I experienced last time. Really great stuff. read more

During trying times, there are few things that hit the spot like ice cream. With a scoop, you're transported back to the carefree days of childhood, enjoying a cold treat on a summer day, and suddenly everything is as it should be. This is like the ice cream of your youth, but better. With more creative flavors if you're into that, or the favorites - improved. Covid note: Social distancing was enforced and employees were wearing masks and gloves. Other patrons were also wearing masks and keeping their distance. I felt perfectly safe getting two double scoops to go. read more

Update: I had their ice cream sandwich at Paderos and it was delicious AND vegan! I also went to the creamery again and noticed they had more toppings for sundaes! I must have originally went in when they had put their toppings away, my bad! Strawberry cheesecake with the waffle cone is so delicious! 5/5 stars- great service and yummy ice cream despite not having the ooey gooey brownies ;) thank you! read more

Dont get me wrong i love roris so much but my friends and i went to roris two weeks ago and they had a February deal where you get a free ice cream or whatever you ordered for free with a purchase from 3-5. for a example I got a scoop of ice cream and I would've gotten a free one. when my friends and I went, we asked about it but the cashier was like yeah there is but didn't say anything about it. I asked and then the cashier asked the other employee and said it's up too you and the cashier said no. it was before 5 and they would've give us a deal. it wasn't that big of deal that we didn't get a free ice cream but the way they were acting annoyed at us for no reason and it's not a choice it's what the menu said. there was also a sign that said it too. It was very much false advertisement. read more

Delicious artisanal ice cream in a small setting. They share a space with a taco shop. I goofed - I didn't check in until after we paid, thereby missing out on a discount. Next time! The young lady who took care of us offered generous samples. Each flavor has a custom label describing the ingredients. I went for the mint patty. Sooo rich, creamy and flavorful! My only negative note is the minimal seating. There are a few tables at the front of their space, but they looked short, almost like visiting a first grade classroom. We ended up on a public bench outside. I would definitely recommend this local treasure for hand-crafted ice cream treats. read more

Parents and I went on a little outing and were told about this homemade ice cream place; It did not disappoint! The ice cream and waffle cones are made there daily! The waffle cone is really good and has an airy lightness to it I enjoyed. The ice cream in every flavor (vegan and not) was ultra rich, delicious and unique. We tried the honey almond crunch, honey lavender, and romans chocolate (dairy free), and the berry (vegan) and enjoyed all the flavors! Service was also lovely! It's a little pricey but worth it and they also sell portions smaller than one scoop (pretty big serving actually) in a little mini cup! Whole-heartedly recommend it! read more

Rori's Artisanal Creamery - NY Strawberry Cheesecake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Carpinteria, California

Review is from a visit on 9/9/23. We always get a scoop of Rori's ice cream whenever we visit Carpinteria. A bit pricey at $8.95 per regular scoop but their scoops are huge (I usually can only eat 1/2 and try to freeze the other 1/2 for another day) and the ingredients are high quality and natural! On this trip, I was looking forward to getting a scoop of Honey Almond Crunch but they were out of it (I was sad!). I decided on the Milk Chocolate Chunk as a back-up and it was as expected (It was good but nothing earth shattering). My daughter got the Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl and if you like peanut butter, you really taste PB chunks in there. On previous visits, I have gotten nutella and salted caramel and both are highly recommended flavors! read more

It was not a hot day yet all the flavors I had were already about to melt the moment they were handed to me, and they did within minutes. For a single scoop of $8, I expect much, much better quality control. I didn't pay this much to sip on flavored creams. I've visited other locations, and none had this problem. One of the staff didn't seem too welcoming either. Will not return. read more

Delicious and unusual flavors. I had the black pepper pistachio and German chocolate cake. Son had root-beer float and salted caramel. Both very good. One issue to point out was ice cream was starting to melt on cone even before it was handed to us. We left the shop and ice cream fell! Son caught it and ran back to get cups. What a mess. Advice, forgo the cone and get the cup. Otherwise, the ice cream was delicious!! read more
