    This is what they should look like (FRESH strawberries) not candied or jammed.
    Celly D.

    First & last time, I would give 0 starts if I could, because I got a cup of goo, I ordered the Dubai strawberries. Deserts: Paid 29.00+ for a large cup of goo (garbage) if you charge that much make it good. Also ordered a very small slice of cheesecake. I called in advanced to ask if they offered Dubai chocolate strawberries..... I was assured they did and they were delicious. They are NOT, as they were making the cup of goo, they began layering WATERY STRAWBERRY's that looked jammed. Similar to the ones in certain deserts. I posted a picture of what they are supposed to look like and they did not look or taste anything like it. Service: super nice, young lady was really kind. The only thing I would say they NEED to improve is communicating how it is made. I asked how they made/prepared it, layered it and if the strawberries were fresh. (Fresh is fresh, they are washed cleaned and cut then added to the dish) not cut and added to a bowl of sugar water. (It wasn't and hour in from adding them to the bowl as you can see from the photo. Location: it's a small spot on facing the street, small shack. Order at the window, pick up at the window.

    If you're anywhere near Oceanside and have even the slightest sweet tooth, run (don't walk) to The Strawberry Shack. This place is a strawberry lover's dream. #StrawberryFieldsForever Shack Vibes: 10/10 -The vibe is laid-back and beachy--super Instagrammable with the little shack setup and colorful signage. Many, many strawberry options to fit your palate that you won't want to miss out on. Strawberry Treats: 10/10 -Let's talk about the real star here: the strawberries. I tried the classic strawberry shortcake & strawberry dole whip... I'm still dreaming about them. The shortcake and the strawberries are ridiculously fresh and juicy! The shortcake? Absolute perfection. Fluffy, not overly sweet, and topped with a mountain of fresh whipped cream and sliced strawberries. It somehow manages to be indulgent without feeling too heavy. Bonus points for everything being made fresh right in front of you. The strawberry dole whip is a solid choice when it's a bit warm outside but it was delicious! Must try! Service: 10/10 -The staff was super friendly, too--smiling, helpful, and clearly passionate about their strawberries. Budget Friendly: 10/10 -Prices are reasonable for the quality you're getting, and portions are generous. Definitely a must-visit spot if you're in Oceanside, whether you're a local or just passing through. Overall Rating: 10/10

    Dole Whip. Sweet and tangy pineapple flavored soft serve, piled up high in a small cup.
    Jenn R.

    It was a nice spring day when we went, but after running around the Flower Fields trying to take pictures of everything, it got hot and we needed a cold and refreshing snack. THE FOODS | Sundaes, chocolate dipped strawberries, and soft serve. We ordered... - Dole Whip | Sweet and tangy pineapple flavored soft serve, piled up high in a small cup. Grateful for the amount of soft serve we received, but there was a slight twinge of anxiety as we raced against time to eat it all before it melted everywhere. THE DRINKS | Shakes, coffee, and bottled water. We ordered... - Strawberry Shake | Your classic strawberry shake with whipped cream on top. The shake is perfectly thick and creamy where you can still drink it through a straw. Deliciously sweet! THE STRAWBERRY SHACK FEELS | The Strawberry Shack is small with one window to order and another window to pick up your food/drink. Plenty of tables with umbrellas are adjacent to the shop. The vibe is casual. THE PARKING SITUATION | Get there early to snag a spot near the entrance of the Flower Fields (Strawberry Shack is located inside). We arrived about 8:30 AM and found a spot basically next to the entrance. Parking is free. WOULD I COME BACK? | Yes, their strawberry shake is really good! The dole whip soft serve is good too, but a little too much and you're better off sharing it.

    Their strawberry shakes are amazing. Very healthy too. It's probably better to skip the chocolate in the shakes. Worth the wait if there's a line but there usually isn't a line on weekdays.

    Go for the Strawberry Shack special THE STRAWBERRY SHAKE SHACK. I came for the strawberry cheese cake but decided to get the special and I must day it was the best decision of my life and I don't make many good ones either haha. Let's get straight to it, the venue is small with no place to dine in or out,it's more of an order your treats and carry on with your business kind of place. There is two tables outside where you can stand and use. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. When it comes to parking you can park on the street or the small shopping center next to it.

    Strawberry shortcake sundae
    Mary R.

    The ice cream was very good although I expected something different! I didn't know it was soft serve . The strawberries were fine but I expected fresher strawberries bigger sliced not in so much sauce! The cake was the cake you can buy in the market and make your own sundae Whipped cream is always good I loved the flower garden that's why I stopped for this treat! It was still good !

    Strawberry shortcake. Shortcake at the bottom covered in fresh strawberries, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream! $13! Highly recommend!
    Rachel E.

    Strawberry Shortcake was amazing!!! Fresh strawberries, vanilla ice-cream, whipped cream and a shortcake at the bottom! Perfection! $13 and worth it!

    Strawberry Fields Forever a big #shoutout to #TheStrawberryShack for the amazing service and most unforgettable desserts! If you are visiting or live in Carlsbad, PLEASE visit The Strawberry Shack's permanent location in the heart of the Village. Tyler and his team were amazing, in making suggestions to perfecting our selections from their menu. This adorable establishment serves 5 star specialty gourmet desserts at affordable pricing. Every dessert is phenomenal and the list of the yummy yummy delights are wonderfully crafted: Strawberry Shakes & Shortcakes to Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, Homemade Chocolate Covered Strawberry Marshmallows, Homemade Strawberry Pudding, Strawberry Cannoli's, Strawberry Shortcake Gelato along with other Strawberry delights. In these trying times, when most people have some type of a budget, or are without work because of COVID-19 we are all trying to find some type of normality. People (families) are looking for places/locations that respect the value of money without compromising the quality of a product or the quality of service. You will find this at The Strawberry Shack!

    I found the cutest little gem on our way back home for the strawberry cheesecake brownie was very good, and the strawberry sundae was to die for !! 10/10 Not only was it aesthetically pleasing put the customer service was great too!

    Seriously if I was in an electric chair and I got to choose one last desert it would be from the Strawberry shack. It's so good. It reminds me of being home in Ohio. It's also super fast and friendly service.

    Strawberry shake!

This menu is everything an islander, especially a Filipino could ever want in an ice cream menu. The perfect fusion of island ingredients and ice cream is so next level! You are able to sample the flavors, to find what you like and EVERY flavor is amazing! You are met with a friendly server, and they are very helpful in explaining the ice cream flavors if you're not familiar with them. I orders the Ube Pandesal, if you are an Ube lover this the one for you. Not too sweet unlike many other Ube flavors out there, perfect blend of flavors. My wife got the Mango Sticky rice, and it tastes just like you would expect it to. I'm coming back any time I have a sweet urge and eventually I'm going to try every flavor! I love the setting, it's outside part of The Cottages food collection, so you have a few options of food and beverages in the same area. Plenty of walk up parking and so the accessibility of the location is great as well.

    My boyfriend, our best friend, and I visited this ice cream shop for the first time tonight, and…read moreunfortunately, the interaction with one of the young women working there left us very uncomfortable. When we asked to sample the ube flavor, she initially gave us two samples and then went to get a third. I offered my sample to our friend, but she immediately told me that she was fine and wanted the third sample instead. When the employee returned with the third sample, she commented, "Wow, that's not very gentleman-like, not giving your sample to your girlfriend first." Our friend immediately explained that she had specifically told me it was okay and that she wanted the third sample. Despite that, the employee continued making assumptions about the situation. Then, when our friend paid for the ice cream, the employee commented, "Wow, now you're making her pay too." At that point, I told her that was enough. The entire interaction felt unnecessarily judgmental and inappropriate. Not only did she assume that our female friend was my girlfriend, but she also seemed to assume that, as a man, I should be responsible for paying for her and that I should automatically prioritize her over my boyfriend and our friendship. It's 2026, and people shouldn't have to conform to outdated assumptions about gender roles, relationships, or who is supposed to pay for whom. Women are perfectly capable of paying for themselves, and friends can certainly treat each other however they choose without being judged by an employee. What should have been a simple, enjoyable first visit for ice cream instead became an uncomfortable experience because of unsolicited comments and assumptions about our relationships. We were respectful toward the employee throughout the interaction, and we expected the same in return. Unfortunately, based on this experience, we will probably not be returning and will be sharing our experience with our friends and family. There are plenty of other ice cream options out there.

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!
