Are you looking for a great place to spoil your next meal with a delicious snackaroo?…read more I got you! The family had the pleasure of visiting Fort Bragg a couple of times this spring and the restaurants are good there, but Cowlick's Ice Cream is not to be missed! Everybody, but everybody is standing in line at Cowlick's Ice Cream, waiting to get some great one-of-a-kind ice cream flavors, floats, and toppings in downtown Fort Bragg. They have regular cones, sugar cones, waffle cones, and my favorite, chocolate dipped waffle cones! Ice creams can be adorned with with toppings galore and surely you will want to eat a nutritious meal, but may just go back for more ice cream! My personal favorite ice cream is the Hokey Pokey Honeycomb ice cream (on rotation, it is not available all the time). It is creamy and filled with honeycomb candy from a local Fort Bragg candy store! (Unfortunately for us, their the candy retail shop closed). The hubby and offspring went for and enjoyed the more traditional Rocky Road ice cream. Next trip I plan to try their ice cream sammys! The shop is clean and spacious, with plenty of places to sit inside and enjoy ice cream or shakes while watching the goings on in downtown Fort Bragg. I have never been there when there wasn't a wait to order, but it is well worth it! Locals and tourists alike can be consulted on flavor, cone or float choices. The clock is conveniently broken because when enjoying ice cream, who really cares about the time? So yeah, go spoil your next meal with some Cowlick's Ice Cream goodness! They won't disappoint! If you by chance get addicted to the ice cream, I found the local grocery stores carry pints to go! Lucky us!

They have a rotating menu of items along with their mainstays, so depending on when you come, you can try something new. They have standard flavors like vanilla and chocolate, along with some more creative and off the wall like black sesame, I think there was a lavender, and more. I got the flight of 6 mini scoops. I can't remember my exact flavors, but the ice cream is so creamy, not crystallized- it's almost like gelato. I couldn't finish my ice cream because even as a mini it was so much (I should have shared) but it was absolutely delicious. I've been here a few times and there's always a line, but it moves really fast. The folks behind the counter hustle! It's such a cute place and such a mainstay of Healdsburg that I'll be back.

We didn't get the pie since the ice cream was plenty enough.

My friend loves ice cream and this is one of her favorite ice cream spots in downtown Santa Rosa…read more She's raved about Nimble & Finn's for quite some time and when she finally brought me there, I must agree, the ice cream was to scream for. First off, it's a women-owned business. Yay! If you're lucky, you might meet the owner, she's super sweet. The atmosphere is welcoming, clean and chic. It's a mix of midcentury modern with a side of hipster vibes. I loved the interior decorating as well... especially the beautifully painted ice cream art on the wall. It was the prettiest and most spacious ice cream joint I've visited. I got a double scoop. Pear Caramel and Lavender Honeycomb! Loved the honeycomb bits mixed in the lavender. The ice cream was smooth and creamy and the flavors popped. Very satisfied with the ice cream here and would like to try some of their other flavors in the future. They not only have delicious ice cream, but they provide beer, cider, ice cream cocktails, and a variety of grilled cheese sandwiches. Found out there's a daily Happy Hour from 3pm-6pm! Love that Nimble & Finn's is a safe and well decorated space for the ice cream loving community, in the heart of Santa Rosa.

Nimble and Finn's is a cute ice cream shop located in a historic building on the main drag of…read moreGuerneville, CA. The vibes are spectacular. Much of the original historic bank has been preserved, and the building is very cool inside and out. There are a few small seating areas inside and outside. Service is good. One employee was super friendly, and another we encountered was less so, but got the job done. The ice cream here is great; however, it's also very expensive. For 3 ice creams, we averaged $30 over our two visits. A single scoop is priced quite high already, and then if you add a topping, you are looking at nearly $10 for a single scoop. I do love that they rotate flavors often enough that it doesn't feel static or disappointing. I really like Nimble and Finn's, and I have now visited both their Guerneville location and Santa Rosa location. Both spots are offering great ice cream, but be prepared to pay a bit more for a scoop. It's certainly worth it, just be aware!

OMFG! I remember…read moreDouble Rainbow from when I first moved to the Bay Area in my 20s and it instantly became my favorite ice cream. The flavor I remember is called Its A Goodie -- french vanilla with peanut butter and fudge chips. Yup, still awesome! Ok sweeter than my adult palette likes now but hella nostalgic. I paired it with coconut. Not a flavor I remember from back in the day but also an excellent taste. Again, adult me would like a little less sugar and perhaps the crunchiness of the coconut but I'm being picky. Mississippi mud pie seemed like something to try and I'm glad I asked for a taste. Coffee ice cream with a fudge swirl and crushed cookies. Both workers seemed happy and offered lots of suggestions. There's one table inside and a few more outside. They also have some tourist items like tshirts. When I got home, I researched Double Rainbow. There are a few stores left and you can order online (min 8 pints). Just ignore the saturated fat...

To start off, the line situation just isn't ideal, so it would be nice if they put up a rope to help cordon off the line from the payment area, but the service itself was very helpful and friendly and the ice cream barista was able to make the perfect shaved ice for me when I asked for light root beer syrup. My shaved ice was absolutely delicious and I loved their flavor options so I would definitely come back next time we're in Sonoma.
