I've heard about Handel's Ice Cream for a long time but never had the chance to stop by. Today my…read more4-year-old daughter was craving ice cream, so we finally decided to give it a try. I ordered a waffle bowl with pistachio ice cream, and for my daughter I got a cone with strawberry ice cream. The ice cream wasn't overly sweet, and the flavor was really nice and well balanced. The staff were very friendly and quick. The price is also reasonable compared to other ice cream shops around the area, especially since it's close to the beach. Parking can be a bit tricky because of the beach area, but that's something you kind of expect when you're nearby.

Stella Jean's new seasonal flavors, Matcha Yuzu and Banana Turon, are seriously so good and 100%…read moreworth seeking out. I ended up going twice just for the Matcha Yuzu and got a scoop on a cone each time. It's such a great summer flavor, super refreshing with a nice citrus kick from the yuzu. The matcha isn't too in your face either, which I really liked! The Banana Turon was a little harder to track down since it kept selling out, but luckily a friend grabbed me two pints when it restocked and honestly it did not disappoint. Those caramelized turon crunch bits are so addictive, I could easily finish a whole pint by myself no problem. I also tried making a matcha float with the banana turon and the flavors worked together really well, highly recommend giving it a shot. The staff is always super friendly and the service is quick. There's also plenty of seating if you want to hang outside and enjoy the sun, or you can grab your scoop and take a stroll around Carlsbad. Either way you really can't go wrong!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Stella Jean's Ice Cream is a California-based ice cream shop that focuses on small-batch,…read moresuper-premium, and locally made ice cream. While most of Stella Jean's locations are in San Diego, there is also a shop in Orange County inside The LAB in Costa Mesa. This specific shop is located inside the Cottages near Carlsbad Village. [Parking]: There's a parking lot right next to the Cottages, but it can be challenging to find available spots. Other public parking and street parking options are available in this part of the neighborhood. [Menu]: The staff lets customers sample various ice cream flavors, but the top Yelp highlighted flavors are Ube + Pandesal Toffee, Brown Butter Pecan, and Sweet Mango Sticky Rice. *** Ube + Pandesal Toffee (kids scoop - $4.95): It was solid, but I can't exactly say it was the best ice cream I have ever had. It did melt pretty quickly. *** This is a nice spot with outdoor tables for customers to sit down and enjoy their ice cream.

Lines build pretty quickly but the staff handles them well. I took the initiative of narrowing down my purchases prior to making my way to the front just to avoid delays. The unique flavors are all very enticing so locking in on one can be difficult. Luckily for us, this ice cream shop offers half scoops so you aren't forced to commit to one. PURCHASES: *Standard x2 [2 half scoops of ice cream so you are able to try more than one flavor] -Milkiest Chocolate & Banana Cream Pudding [dairy free] -Double Dough & Black Tie Tiramisu Everything here is creamy- dare I say, some of the creamiest ice creams I've ever had. My favorite is 100% black tie tiramisu. The least favorite was the banana cream pudding- most likely due to the diary free aspect. 4 stars overall. Seating may be challenging but with our visit being on a warm night, crowds opted to stand outside or ended up sitting in truck beds.
