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!

We had Handel's Cater for our wedding in Oceanside, CA and got to work with the Carlsbad location…read more Once I sent an inquiry through Handel's website, we got connected to their catering manager, Alexa. Coordination was strictly through email for contracts and any questions. It was a bit confusing to understand the serving size and what we were looking for even though we asked for clarification. We decided to go with Handel's as our dessert as I had experienced their catering at another wedding I attended. At that wedding, they ran out of ice cream before the bride and groom could get their share. Therefore, I was worried about us running out. What I wished I did when deciding what serving size to choose was look at the Google Reviews for the location, because so many people said the serving size is huge! Those folks are correct! When Handel's came onsite, the medium serving was more than enough for our guests and I feel like we could have downsized to small serving and folks could have tried the multiple flavors we had gotten. I will also say since I've only tried Handel's once at the wedding I attended, choosing the flavors can be difficult since there isn't a description of the flavors on their website. I would suggest if you are considering Handel's for your event to try the different in-person. Luckily for us, we loved the flavors we chose of blueberry cheesecake, dulce de leche, vegan mango, and watermelon ice. (We are located in NorCal and the closest Handel's location is a bit away from us.) Other than that, overall the experience was great and we were happy with the service!

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.
