Doritos esquite ..Bomb.com

Me and my daughter love it here . . Second time been to this ice cream shop I brought my daughter, she loved the corn in the cup but the first time I bought corn in the cup for her dad he tried it he said it was BOMB . We will keep coming here. So far we have only tried the corn but soon we will try everything on the menu !

The staff here seem very friendly and kind. They have MANY snack options to choose from, and they even have a couple of food options. The fruits and veggies were fresh. Let me just tell you, they are not stingy when it comes to their serving. The snack bar looks, smells, and feels clean. I have been to only one other snack bar in Bakersfield, CA a few times, but I wasn't a fan. I LOVE The King Ice Cream Shop! I have been to a few other snack bars in a couple different counties, and I have to say that this one is my favorite! My favorites from here are the Mangonada and the Fresada.

Oh man... watch out Paleteria's out there! The King Ice Cream is here! The King Ice Cream has tons of options here, from lunch, snack and desserts, they are really competing w the other guys. The frozen desserts are similar; however, they have more seating and it's just slightly more roomy in there. The King Ice Cream is located right next door to GameStop on Ming Ave. Parking shouldn't be a problem as it's a huge parking area; however, there are other businesses nearby so some days are better than others. I havent been here enough to tell you what days are better than others, but I do know that the wait time is less than 5 min here no matter how long the line is and I havent been here enough to see a huge line. The King Ice Cream doesnt only serve ice creams/paletas. I havent had an opportunity to try out their non-dessert menu but the elotes here are not your ordinary elote. They have cheetos and other chip options also dusted on the elote. They have great deals on lunch specials. I wish they were a little closer to my workplace because I would definitely come by during my lunch hour to try them out.

Hot Cheeto mesquite( Mexican corn with mayo, butter, cheese, and hot Cheeto crumble)

I love this spot for snacks!!! Everything is so yummy and fresh. The prices are affordable. The people are friendly and helpful. It's a nice spot to get a quick Mexican snack and hang out or take it to go. There's a few other Mexican snack spots like this one but this is my favorite because they don't overcharge for every little thing.

Long live the King!! Strange how I have never seen this place before especially considering that wifey and I have a favorite restaurant nearby. They are in the same plaza as Ross Dress For Less on Ming Ave. My mom was the one who saw this shop, and she asked us to all go here after eating dinner. So glad that she made the suggestion. The King Ice Cream shop sells more than just ice cream. I saw some of those choices that others purchased, but we were only interested in their ice cream. I believe they make their own ice cream, but don't quote me on that. I was torn between trying one of their many paletas or a scoop of one of their ice cream flavors. After sampling several of their flavors, I chose a scoop of Strawberry Cheesecake. It was yummylicious. Everyone in the family was pleased with their choices. Happy that we found the King!! From now on, it will be our dessert place whenever we dine at this strip mall. Tasty ice cream plus a clean shop plus good service plus fair prices equals repeat business from us. We'll be back!!

Magonada and limon ice cream was so good service was Amazing!! New fav spot
Ileaan D.

My favorite spot in Bakersfield for a diablito or ice-cream!! And the service is amazing

Lea M.

Amazing cheeto elotes. I didn't know when they were closed until i went to the door at 9:15pm and saw that they close at 9pm. They welcomed me in and were very kind!!! Seems like a family owned place. I will definitely be back, because of their good quality and great tasting food but also because of their amazing family vibe customer service.

This place is godly. Their crepes are to die for i swear to you I've had crepes and did not like them before this place. Their strawberries are sometimes a little sour but most of the time they're great. Their tortas are also really good. They add a lot of Mayo sometimes but it's still good. This place is now my go to place for dates with my hubby.

Mangonada
Fab G.

My favorite ice cream shop in Bakersfield. They have the best mangonadas and torta. Anything on their menu is delicious no doubt ! Worth the drive. Amazing products and customer service. One thing to be improved is to have another cashier that just helps others with small orders ice ice cream cups or water as the others get ready the lengthy order that take a longer process.

Coconut & eggnog $3.50
Yonnie C.

We got a 2 scoop Ice cream here for $3.50. It's delicious, we got eggnog & coconut flavors. Will try to come back! They make the ice cream in house.

Eddy A.

Every good ice cream . they make their own ice cream. It was rich . creamy . I had the pistachio & cappuccino. Went together really well . They have lots of fruit bars & fruit ice cream to pick from .. Slushies & milk shakes. Fruit drinks. Fresh fruit . They have hot dogs & sandwich s too.. Its worth a 2nd trip to try the drinks . But my advice is walk here. Parking sucks. It always has. There is never parking .. I would like to see a green tea & Thai tea ice cream... Not sure if there even is such a thing as Thai tea ice cream ? But if there is. I am sure this place can make it.

mangonada, coffee

The…read moreservice could be more attentive, but the strawberry shortcake sundae still makes this place worth visiting. ------ I have been coming to this place ever since I was a kid, so it brings back a lot of nostalgia for me. The ice cream parlor decor has not changed much from what I remember, which is part of its charm. It has a clear identity and really feels like a local Bakersfield staple. The service was okay, but it could have been better. We waited a while after being seated before our order was taken, and we also had to wait quite a bit when asking for water. I ordered the tuna sandwich and the strawberry shortcake sundae. The tuna sandwich was good and tasty, partly because the buttery slices of bread added a nice richness. The strawberry shortcake sundae always hits the spot. The cake is a little denser, which I think works well because it doesn't get too soggy as the ice cream melts into it. The vanilla ice cream and strawberry syrup were also delicious, and all the flavors blended nicely with the cake. Overall, I love this place for its nostalgia, character, and the quality of its ice cream. While the service could use some improvement, the ice cream still delivers every time.

Rosemary's has become one of our family's favorites! If we're ever wanting a sweet treat, or even…read morewant some of their delicious grilled cheese, it's our go-to!

When the ice cream came, we were shocked at the portions. It was ginormous!!! Not only did dewars deliver on quantity, they delivered quality as well. It was one of the most plentiful banana split I've had where there were so many other topics. We also got rocky road with our ice cream sundae and it was just decadent. We couldn't finish. We were guilty but we just couldn't get ourselves to.

When I walked in, the place was spotless super clean and the ladies working the counter were really friendly. They had a huge selection of paletas different flavors with and without fruit in them de leche or agua. I decided to go with the Tamarindo with Chile and a Coco de leche. My wife had the mango con Chile that had real mango pieces in it . As soon as I bit into the coconut paleta I was in heaven.I shared the coconut one with my wife and she loved it as well. Next was the Tamarindo con Chile that brought back child hood memories of the hot summer days in the 805 when the paletero would pass by ringing the bells on the cart.I was about to leave and noticed the fresh fruit cups in the fridge, so I got one to go for lunch the next day. They definitely gained a new customer today, if your in the mood for some fresh fruit bars or craving the fresh fruit cups la Nueva Michoacana is the spot to go for those hot Bakersfield days, don't make the same mistake I did and sleep on this place.

Customer service was average to below average. My wife actually did like her raspado but said she definitely wouldn't return. My son ordered chocolate covered banana and he liked it but he pretty much likes anything sweet. Hate to give bad reviews to local businesses but there is just no reason for us to return or recommend this place!
