    We happened to pass by this place whilewe we were in the shopping center. The owner was super friendly and took time to talk to us and tell us about what they have. They had agood variety of stuff (pops, milkshakes, agua frescas) and they make their own ice cream. We ended up getting a few of their pops and they were soooooo good! We'll definitely be back!

    The Oreo ice cream is the best ice cream I have ever had. Don't make the mistake of ordering any other flavor.

    The Oreo ice cream is the best ice cream I have ever had. Do not make the mistake of ordering anything else. It melts in your mouth. We will definitely be back for more. I only wish I could have taken some home with me.

    Canastito Michoacána...magnificent!

    Amazing customer service! We wandered in 5 min before closing and the guy still let me ask tons of questions and let me try all the options I wasn't familiar with. Everything was so tasty!! We ended up ordering the Canastita Michoacána. You get 3 scoops of your choice of (only Lord knows how many) wonderfully delicious flavors of ice cream. I chose Guanabana, passion fruit and mango. 2 choices of fruit topping, I chose papaya and mango. Topped with whipped cream and strawberry syrup in a waffle bowl . Everything tastes so heavenly! Of course you may encounter some seeds depending on what you order, but that's how you know you are eating REAL fruit! The store has a cute ambiance and there is plenty of seating for those who want to dine in. Do yourself a favor this summer and stop by when you get a chance! You will not be disappointed!

    The ice cream here is really good, and I love that they have a variety of flavors. From fresh and…read morefruity lemon custard to chocolatey flavors, and even an avocado pistachio flavor, they will definitely have something for everyone. I was craving something chocolatey, and went with the Chocolate Mexicano in a cup and it was so good! There does not seem to be indoor seating, but there were two outdoor tables off to the side of the storefront. To order you just walk up to the counter, from which you are standing on the outside of and place your order. Parking = street parking and the location is close to Market on 8th.

Being at this place honestly felt like going back in time: old timey decorations, so many flavors, menus printed in Comic Sans font, reasonable prices... I loved it! My friend and I both got Spumoni ice cream, which is probably my all-time favorite flavors (a mix of chocolate, cherry, and pistachio ice creams). I'm used to the Spumoni at the Old Spaghetti Factory, and this one was a little more subtle in terms of flavor and color. The creaminess and sweetness levels were perfect! I can't wait to come down here again to try more flavors. I'm docking one star because the interior is currently closed (though the employee I asked said they plan to reopen it). They basically turned the door into a walkup window, and there are a couple tables and benches on the sidewalk outside. I didn't know that before going, and it put a slight damper on the experience of eating ice cream on a cloudy January day. So I really hope they get it opened up again soon! Regardless, I'll definitely come back again, even though I'm not in National City very often. It was a refreshing change of pace from central San Diego's boujee ice cream scene! P.S. bring cash so you can avoid the credit card fee!

    I saw a recent social media posting that this OG and last remaining location of Hammond's Gourmet…read moreIce Cream would be closing at the end of this weekend. That prompted me to make a final visit as I used to frequent the PB store when it was still around. The original Vietnamese owner started the business in 2014 by sourcing unique flavors from Hawaii. With more competition and inflation, it was sad to hear that Hammond's was no longer able to sustain their mission anymore. I fondly recall one visit in which I came with a large group, and we split a 32-flavor flight. I loved being able to sample all of the different varieties, but it was hard to get to all of them before they started melting. Hammond's was one of the first local ice cream shops that offered flights as an option. The menu here also served floats, shakes, sundaes, and cookie skillets. I don't recall such options at the PB spot which focused on scoops and flights. There were about 30 flavors written on a marker board posted on a wall. The choices didn't seem as fruity or exotic compared to the early days. On this occasion, I opted for a medium sized cup with two different flavors... Mackinac Island Fudge and Strawberry Cheesecake. The first one had swirls of chocolate from the upper peninsula of Michigan mixed in with a vanilla base. The second one was a fairly standard variety that you will find at most ice cream places. I did like the collections of ice cream scoops that were mounted on the walls as decor. This North Park venue had several tables and a countertop for inside seating. It was likely the largest of what was one time three locations of the business. Thank you to Hammond's for your past decade of service to the SD community!

Back then they had delicious Asian inspired flavors like matcha, lychee, coconut and Thai tea that weren't too sweet. Today I had a hard time picking a flavor because everything tasted so average. Walking in, their menu didn't even look the same. They added their version of a pizookie that was way too sweet. Flights are still there. Their goblet chandelier, live wood countertop and mural in the back are the same, but what they're scooping and serving has sadly changed. Well this place is closing soon and I can see why.

They always serve the same quantity and softness of boba. Their service is always amazing too. They greet you as you enter and leave, and are friendly. Because it's quite cramped inside the shop, I don't expect to stay for long. However, the boba is my main priority, so I don't mind for the seating.

They also waited while I looked at their giant menu to figure out what I want. And not giant in a bad way, giant in a many options way. I had questions and the woman who took my order was so kind to me and patient when I had questions. I also put my phone number and got a discount so definitely sign up for their rewards program! There was plenty of seating inside and outside so we grabbed a booth and made myself comfortable until my order was ready. The inside was decorated very cute with lights. We ordered a Thai and Taro blended milk tea, a Tiger Tea with boba, an order of Cheese Curds and the Brick Toast with Honey Butter. The Thai and Taro blended milk tea was so good! It had such a balanced flavor! The Tiger tea with Boba was very earthy and subtle flavor but still so good! The Cheese Curds were freshly battered with a golden fry on it that really showed how clean their oil is! And the Brick Toast with Honey Butter was such a soft bouncy bread that would pair beautifully with a morning coffee. Over all the entire menu is something I want to keep exploring and I definitely recommend SD Boba Tea!
