The lady who served us was very kind and patient as some members in our group were indecisive. From scoops to cones, you have options to choose from! There's plenty of parking in the shared parking lot with other businesses there. The interior of Art is so cool. There's a lot of ice cream history on display and so much to look at. There's tables outside for customers to sit and of course you can order to go. Overall, if you are craving a great sweet treat, you should check out Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream!

But man-oh-man the ice cream is amazing: Dense, rich, and decadent - all made in house by a family who apparently know what they are doing. All your ice cream favorite flavors are available, plus some varieties that are unabashedly in the gourmet category. I've been in this area close to 30 years and I've not had better ice cream.

Nimble & Finn's, what have you done? Your ice cream was so good I'm craving it from San Francisco!…read more We were visiting Santa Rosa and we wanted to treat ourselves to some ice cream after lunch. I searched Yelp for a good ice cream spot and found Nimble & Finn's. Upon entering, we were surprised by the really cute decor and ambiance of the place. They had unique and creative ice cream flavors and I really liked that they combined two of my favorites - Lavender and Honeycomb. They also had Creme Brûlée, which I also liked, so I convinced my husband to get it. I'm glad he got that coz I got to try both and was very satisfied. Even my husband who is not really into sweets actually enjoyed his ice cream and finished it! Oh how I wish they had a location here in SF so I can just have it any time and try their other flavors. But if you're ever in Santa Rosa, you got to give Nimble & Finn's a try. It's totally worth it. Also bring a cooler with you so you can bring home this ice cream goodness!

Service was amazing!!…read moreThey were patient with us while we sampled their array of unique ice cream flavors and were so kind. I ended up getting the Lavender Honeycomb and it was super yummy! It's only a personal preference, but I felt like the honeycomb candy made it too sweet. However, I understand that's a little hard to control since it is honeycomb candy. The lavender flavor paired very nicely with the honeycomb candy regardless! If I'm ever in Santa Rosa, I will definitely be back!!

I really wanted to get a slice of pie AND a scoop of ice cream separately / on the side, but I think the only way to do that was to order a slice of pie w the ice cream à la mode, and to separate them after. I ordered a lemon custard blueberry compote pie with thai tea ice cream à la mode. The flavors didn't go well together and I wanted to have them separately, so I separated them after I let my iPhone eat first. The pie was amazing and the ice cream was perfect. I'm actually surprised at how well they nailed the Thai Tea flavor! Would totally come back next time I'm in Santa Rosa :)

Noble Folk is a wonderful, local Sonoma County business. They have just two locations the other…read morebeing in Healdsburg. In my opinion, Noble Folk not only has the best ice cream in Sonoma County, but also some of the best pies and cupcakes. They do just about everything dessert as well as support other local businesses and local farms. They have a wonderful assortment of merch you can buy and they also have a great staff of people who work for them. On this particular visit, we came in for ice cream. Their ice cream flavors are really unique and fun, with lots of flavors and textures. Tonight I tried their Sticky Toffee flavor, which was superb. I am also very partial to their Dutch Chocolate and their Earl Grey ice cream. Besides their ice cream, I've also had their pie on several occasions including ordering their pies for holidays. They are a great business to support so please stop on by and check it out!

Almost impossible not to stop here after a day in bodega bay!…read more The cookie dough and the lemon sorbet are always my go to's but when the lavender ice cream is in season it's no question what flavor I'm getting.. always lavender! Their lavender is my favorite ice cream on this planet. At least as for a tasting to try if you don't believe me! You will see. Their cones are freshly made and come slightly chewy on the bottom, which I loveeee. You can get ice cream cakes for special occasions, too. Because there's no better birthday cake than an ice cream cake, and Screamin' Mimi's does it right.

On the way back from Mendocino to the Bay Area, I thought a break for ice cream would fit the bill…read more I like ice cream shops that make their own premium ice cream with great care. Dave's Ice Cream stood out on that score so we stopped by. I opted for the Macchiato Salted Caramel and my wife had a smaller Coffee Toffee. Oh my. This was totally great ice cream - rich, creamy and delicious! We savored every mouthful. On the wall they posted awards from the Sonoma County Fair, winning Best Of The Show ice cream three separate years. And my ice cream choice, Macchiato Salted Caramel, had won Best Of Show in 2025. Seven other flavors had also won awards. Dave's Ice Cream will be up there with the top ice cream shops I have visited. I've never tasted better ice cream!

There isn't a huge range of flavors to choose from but I wanted to try the lemon lime swirl and their mango. Both were delicious and I was having a hard time deciding which flavor I wanted my scoop, the server said do 1/2 scope of each. Delicious! The mango had chunks of fresh mango and the lemon lime swirl you could taste the distinct flavors. My husband had a couple scoops of jamoca almond fudge and agrees on the taste. They make the ice cream by scratch. They also have a coffee bar inside too. Again not a lot of choices but I had the London Fog tea and it was good. I wish they had sleeves for the cups.

What I really love about it though is how much my daughters love it. Especially one of them, where anytime she does something good, this is the place she wants to go. And she always gets the same thing, the Cookie Doughn't You Want Some. She's tried other things, and she almost got something new last time, but then she stopped and said she didn't want to risk being disappointed when she knows this one will make her insanely happy. And every time, it does. I've probably been there at least 15 times, and I honestly can't remember ever having a bad experience. The employees are usually really nice, and everything is consistent. We're actually thinking about getting her a cookie dough birthday cake from here this year, so I'm hoping that goes just as smoothly since I've seen a few mixed reviews on the cakes. Fingers crossed. At the end of the day, it makes my daughter happy, and that makes me happy too.

Pretty disappointed. Ordered online so I could swing in and pick up a treat on my way back in to…read morework. Ordered at 1:04 PM, order cookie dough ice cream, with cookie dough chunks and kit kats. Arrived at 1:14 or so, saw three staff members standing around talking in the back room. Waited in the lobby for a while for them to finish their conversation before one came out to get me my order from their fridge/freezer beneath the counter. It was already inside a plastic bag, which was a little strange to me, and prompted me to ask if a spoon had been put inside. Seemed it would make sense for that to be standard practice for to go ice cream orders, but I'm glad I checked! Lady behind the counter said no and retrieved one. Opened the bag in the car to find the ice cream had been melted (perhaps left out on the counter?) to a soupy consistency, tipped on its side when put in the freezer, and refrozen partially in the lid. When I got to work at 1:20, it had completely melted back into a liquid, soup-like consistency again. At least it was no longer in the lid, I guess? When I opened it to try to eat it, I found I'd been given the wrong flavor (seemed to be cake batter flavor). The add ins hadn't been cut up very well, and were either smashed flakes or giant chunks the size of my finger. Ended up just throwing the whole thing out, which was really disappointing for something I'd just spent $10-something on (and tipped 15%). Grew up with coldstone as a special occasions treat, but will not be back again.
