    DOLLY'S DREAM (BUBBLE WAFFLE) in front and BUILD YOUR OWN BUBBLE WAFFLE
    Madison O.

    This is one of my go to ice cream places in the area because I can't get over how amazing their bubble waffle/ice cream combo is! Especially when the ice cream melts on top of the waffle. I also love the portion size they give you for the price. The only reason one star is knocked off is because the ice cream is pretty basic tasting, nothing special. However, with all the toppings and waffle I think it's worth it. The interior is cute with a llama wall display and games to play while waiting. Most times I have come it hasn't been too busy and the service is quick. I have encountered the friendliest staff members here who always have a smile on their face :)

    If you want the perfect treat day or night, this is the place! We are regulars. We enjoy playing a board game from the restaurant. Staff is friendly and inviting. We always have a good time with our family enjoying a delicious treat.

    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!

    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.

    Parking available in the front and back of building Ice cream, bubble waffles, and coffee Very welcoming and friendly barista We got the sugar free chocolate macadamia iced coffee, matcha de coco, and pistachio matcha. We absolutely loved it! 10/10 highly 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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

The last few times we've gone, the service has been extremely slow, even when it didn't seem overly packed, which made the whole experience feel dragged out. The food is still decent, but it's nothing out of this world anymore, just pretty basic compared to how I remember it. That said, my favorite dish is still the skillet with turkey, avocado, and bacon. It's a solid option and probably the one thing that keeps me coming back to give it another shot. They've changed the decor slightly over the years, and there's a nice little gift shop section right as you walk in, which adds some charm and gives it a cozy feel. The staff has always been nice and friendly, so no complaints there. I just wish the overall experience matched how good this place used to be, because it definitely had something special before.

The only reason it caught my eye was because our tax preparer was just down the street. It was obviously well loved by the locals after reading their great reviews and seeing a full parking lot. And this was on a Wednesday. We only had time for a quick bite, ordering nothing out of the ordinary. A quickie breakfast of sausage, scrambled eggs, and pancake, were all we had, but everything was nicely done. The pancake was big, light and airy, served with a carafe of warm syrup and a huge scoop of butter. The scrambled eggs were moist and fluffy, the sausage was basically a Farmer John sausage patty that was properly warmed but not overcooked, and very good tasting. My only criticism was the coffee being too thin for my liking, but keeping our coffee mugs filled was something they definitely did well! The service was wonderful. They knew we were in a rush, and handled us with TLC the entire 35 minutes we had. What I do know is, I will be looking forward to our next tax appointment, hah, knowing our morning will start off right here. Next time...chicken fried steak, or maybe a bowl of hearty homemade soup, y'all!

The fries were just as impressive: crispy, well-seasoned, and seriously addictive. The real standout combo though? Dipping those fries in their house made ranch, so good. Definitely a meal I'll be thinking about and coming back for!
