    Build Your Own Bubble Waffle
    Daniel R.

    The Dolly Llama is a wonderful little gem here in Yucaipa! If you're craving ice cream, this is the place to go. They have an awesome selection of flavors, and the option to pair them with bubble waffles makes the combinations endless. The lady working there greeted us warmly and was so kind--she offered us samples and was incredibly patient with my four-year-old son, giving us her full attention the whole time. We also loved the calm, welcoming ambiance and had fun playing the games they have available. All in all, it was a sweet experience in every sense of the word. We'll definitely be back! P.s. Save the cool llama spoons!

    Matcha

    As much as I loved their customer service, I'm sad to say their matcha was not good. I would have liked a little more matcha flavoring. My cup consisted of mostly milk and after stirring the matcha it turned into a beige color.

    Vanilla Ice Cream (Vegan)--"the llama made me do it"

    The Dolly llama is a creamery that offers many different ice cream choices to choose from. They also have dairy free options, they had a total of three on the day I visited. I opted for the vanilla ice cream in a cup. It was creamy and delicious! I have visited another location that was closer to home, but no longer there, so the brand is not new to me. The restroom was clean and the service was good. I happened to be passing through and I would definitely recommend.

    The ice cream is great but those bubble waffle cones are not worth it! They are so messy! They have no structure like a normal cone so the ice cream (that melts instantly because the cones are hot when served) was just constantly dripping out of the bottom. By the end, I just had a puddle of ice cream on the table that I could not avoid! On the other hand, I would totally go back for a cup of ice cream with a waffle on the side. Both were good but I wouldn't put them together again.

    This is my second time coming here this week :) I got the cookie butter latte this time (THE BEST COOKIE BUTTER LATTE IN THE INLAND EMPIRE!!) and it was just as perfect as I expected! My new coffee/sweet treat spot!

    Yelp reviews brought us here! The freshly made waffles are GREAT! The prices are pretty comparable to places like Cold Stone and Baskin Robbins, so no complaints there. The inside is super clean, which always makes a big difference in the overall experience. Customer service was great, she was very kind! The only con I noticed is that the ice cream flavors are a bit unique compared to the standard ones you might find elsewhere. I loved the cookies and cream, but the bubblegum flavor wasn't quite what we expected. Still, I appreciated the different take! Overall, I'll definitely be back to try more flavors. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!

    Food a great ice cream spot, delicious, yummy. Great service and super clean. The bubble waffle is a must have .

    Come check it out, this is a great ice cream place with great service and new owners, so yummy!

    Sugar N Spice Bubble Waffle

    Just got some ice cream with my fiance and this is the best ice cream shop I've had in the surrounding areas. We were immediately greeted and offered samples. Waffles were made to order so they were all warm with the ice cream. I got the sugar n spice and it was 10/10!

    Ice cream with a waffle twist! Great new addition to our local Yucaipa dining options! Worth a try if you're in the area, just be aware that there's parking in the back since the front parking isn't generous with very minimal spots and 30 minute limitations. PROS. Ice cream is delicious! Haven't tried their smoothies yet, but if their ice cream is this good then I'm betting their smoothies are incredible as well. If you like crepes with ice cream, chances are you'll love what they have to offer! Plenty of selections with many varieties to choose from. They have ube ice cream! Place is kept very clean with classy ambience and its modern style makes this a fantastic spot to enjoy some time with friends while fulfilling your sweet cravings. Bathroom is clean but can start to see the wear and tear. Service was wonderful and the staff is very helpful if you have questions. Plenty of tables inside and even some games to enjoy with your cozy company. CONS. As mentioned previously, parking in front is very limited. I didn't check the back, but hoping there's a decent amount of parking spots there to compensate. They have a rear entrance as well for rear parking convenience. If waffles or crepes isn't your cup of tea (they don't have crepes but it's a similar comparison), then stick to simply ice cream scoops or their smoothies. Waffles and ice cream isn't my thing, but my wife loves the waffle/crepe-ice cream mix and enjoyed what we ordered. Personally, I'd probably be back to try their smoothies, but other than that it didn't stick out enough for me to overrule Dairy Queen's banana split blizzards nearby. Having a "unique" product, I must say their prices are a bit high for some ice cream and a waffle. Rather go to DQ for their affordability and satisfying blizzards. Overall, we're not disappointed to have given this spot a try, but I wouldn't consider it a hidden gem. Having another local option for desserts in Yucaipa is great with their wonderful ice cream selections and service, but probably not worth a long drive. Solid 4 stars for The Dolly Llama and their delicious ice cream!

    Amy H.

    The shakes here are so good and they have some very unique ice cream flavors! I added in horchata ice cream into my coffee shake which gave a nice iced horchata latte vibe to mine. My sister had a mint chip shake and my mom had a cookies and cream shake. All of which were thoroughly enjoyed and did not last long. The service was great. There was only one person there but they handled us really well and were very informative about what you can mix in into the shakes and what else they make here. It was very clean and nice in here but we didn't get to enjoy due to a fast schedule that day but if we had, I'm sure we would've enjoyed that too.

    I visited this country store after apple picking since my friends and I were craving apple cider…read moreand my experience here was pretty good. The apple cider was good, but I would've preferred it to be colder and not served in a Styrofoam cup. I'm assuming that's because it was the end of the day and it looked like they were running out of apple cider and other materials. I also got the apple cider popsicle for $2 which was a good deal. It was good, but I didn't like how the juice separated from the water during the freezing so it tasted like regular ice by the time I got to the core of the popsicle. For food, I tried their Strawberry Banana Sweet Bread and that was my favorite thing! It was not too sweet and moist. It was $6.50, but not too bad for a whole loaf. The interior was fun and rustic. There are several things to shop for from different baked goods to nic nacs. The service here was pretty good and the staff seemed nice and personable. There's some parking out front as well as some picnic benches and tables with nice views of the mountains and foliage while you enjoy your treats. Overall, a good stop for some casual shopping and to enjoy a sweet treat if you're ever in the Oak Glen area.

    I have been getting my apple fix since I can remember from this local spot. I moved away to Hawai'i…read moreand missed the apples so much. I took a trip up to get my fix. The staff was so nice and friendly made me miss home. The. Christmas jam was delicious and now my favorite. I was worried they weren't going to have winesap apples since it wasn't apple season but I was so happy they had them. I was able to bring back a bag to Hawai'i with me in my carry one. If you like varieties of apples this is the place to go to. They give you slices to try and it's so hard to pick which one because they all taste so good. Mahalo and A Hui Hou.
