My son is partial to the birthday cake flavor. Their fancy ice cream tacos ($7) (yes, just like the now discontinued ChocoTaco of our childhoods) are beautiful and delicious. I especially love this new location because of the tiny sink they offer for the kiddos to rinse their hands before/after their treats AND its proximity to one of my favorite coffee shops next door. Street parking only but it's never that tough to find a spot within a block or two.

Wow--what an overwhelming amount of ice cream choices! This place seriously has everything,…read moreincluding a bakery and coffee, so it's a great one-stop spot. Service was pretty quick, which I appreciated. They also offer gluten-free cookies and other baked goods, which is a nice bonus. That said, the gluten-free cookie on its own was pretty bland--but I could see it being much better paired with ice cream. One thing to note: they don't really offer a kids size, and when I asked for smaller portions, they said it would still be charged as a regular--so parents of little ones, just a heads up! The ambiance wasn't super inviting--more of a "grab your treat and go" vibe--but with its prime location near the beach, it's easy to see why it stays busy. Overall, still worth checking out!

Not worth the difficult parking…read more Food: 1/5 One flavor is three scoops of ice cream. We ordered two flavors, which was four scoops, hoping we could split the ice cream into two cups so we would each have two scoops. We asked our server if they could split the ice cream for us--just put two Ube Matcha scoops in one cup, two Cookies and Cream scoops in another. This is against company policy, but they were willing to give us a second cup so we can surgically operate on the mixed ice cream and split it ourselves (??). The Matcha Ube was more green tea flavored than matcha or ube. The Cookies and Cream was good. The ice cream--even if three scoops for one flavor--is just not worth the street parking or flavor mashing. There are other better ice cream places. Service: 3/5 Nothing to say or add. No bad news is good news. Atmosphere: 2/5 Holy overstimulation. There were two other families in the ice cream parlor with us, and we were all being serviced at once at the cashier. It's too small of a room to do that. I would recommend this place to kids 12 and under who live down the street and need a quick sweet treat. Final rating: 2/5

The parking lot was pretty empty. It was a bit of a cool night and there was no line. I looked at the different flavors and there were a few. I opted for a soft serve. I just got the plain vanilla, but had it dipped in the butterscotch shell because I was feeling nostalgic for the dipped cones I had as a child. The woman helping us was patient while we made up our minds. I needed napkins as it started dripping immediately, even through the thick coating. We sat at the tables outside and ate our cones. The butterscotch tasted ok but it was really thick and waxy so I didn't finish it. If I were in the area i might come back and get ice cream or soft serve again but skip the dip.

THE BAKED BEAR ENCINITAS…read more Parking is mostly street parking, and you may be able to find a few spots nearby. Since it is located on the main strip of Encinitas, it can get pretty busy depending on the day and time. I came on a Sunday afternoon with one of my friends because we were craving a little sweet treat. There are so many dessert spots along the main street in Encinitas, but I had only been to The Baked Bear in Pacific Beach before, so I wanted to try this location. When you walk in, you can order a scoop of ice cream, cookies, brownies, or create your own custom ice cream sandwich by mixing and matching your choice of cookies, brownies, and ice cream flavors. I decided to go all out and made an ice cream sandwich with a brownie on one side and a Cookies and Cream cookie on the other, filled with Cookies and Cream ice cream. It was so delicious. The cookies were warm, soft, and paired perfectly with the cold ice cream. I would definitely recommend this combination. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It is a little on the pricey side since my custom ice cream sandwich came out to about $10. Personally, it is one of those desserts that you could probably recreate at home with store bought ingredients, but it is still a fun experience that everyone should try at least once. If I had one suggestion, I wish they made their ice cream in house or offered more unique flavors. Most of the flavors were pretty classic, so I would have loved to see some more creative options. The shop itself is nice, but there is not much indoor seating. There are a few standing tables outside along with some chairs right in front of the shop, which is where my friend and I ended up sitting. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely come back whenever I am in the mood for a sweet treat.

They got a brownie bowl and a chocolate chip bowl. The bowls come with ample ice cream. I got a cookie sandwich with the yellow butter cookie and cookies and cream cookie. It was great that they warmed it up. In terms of ice cream flavors, we really loved the strawberry shortcake, and also liked the cookies & cream and milk & cookie. They offer a punch card, and a water station which comes in handy. Just a really chill place. Not cheap whatsoever but it's worth the splurge if you're on vacation.

The hubby and I were visiting the local area and stopped here for dessert. Line almost out the door but moved along well. Was interested in the Ted Lasso promo. Although I don't watch the show, crumbly shortbread cookies in salted sweet butter cream sounded good! Sampled it and decided to get it. Outright creamy deliciousness! Their napkin w/lots of info says "we geek out over ice cream science, rearranging the molecules to support all four sensory elements of ice cream: flavor, texture, body and finish." True. The hubby chose the gooey butter cake + goat cheese w/red cherries. Oh my! This was even better than what I got. In my neck of the woods, there are a few shops in the city of Los Angeles but, this was my actual first time in a brick and mortar Jeni's shop. I've seen the pints at grocery stores but had not tried until recently. Good to know there are over 90 retail locations across 15 states and DC. Would definitely return to a Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream when in the vicinity of one and sample some unique flavors. 5 stars!

After talking to the staff, we learned that there are plenty of Jeni's chained shops across the nation! I will be coming back to different ones to try more flavors!
