CAULDRON ICE CREAM

The ice cream at Cauldron is made with liquid nitrogen which not only makes for delicious flavor, but it's fun to watch it being made as you wait! They have unique flavors - like maple bourbon crunch, vietnamese coffee, and the one I tried - h2O rose.

GHIRADELLI

Ghiradelli is a classic dessert company that most people have tried or heard of. However, the in shop experience is amazing because they have so many goodies to choose from! I love their sundaes, topped with a classic Ghiradelli square.

CREME & SUGAR

Creme & Sugar is located in Del Mar and offers AMAZING desserts. They have milkshakes (pictured below), hot chocolate, ice cream, and various cakes. I absolutely loved this spot and can't wait to go back to try more of the menu! 

HAMMOND'S ICE CREAM

Hammond's has multiple locations in town. I really love this spot because they have ice cream flights!! It's always a struggle to pick one flavor and at Hammond's you don't have to!! 

POP PIE CO.

Located in University Heights. The best spot to get a fresh pie - sweet or savory.

3TEN CHURRO BAR

Located in Mira Mesa - this is the place I never knew I needed in my life. They have churro flights, ice cream, and 'street treats' like corn with hot cheetos and cheese!

MNGO

Located on Convoy. They offer all different types of mango inspired drinks and desserts! 

SIDECAR DOUGHNUTS

I love donuts, if you couldn't already tell. Sidecar is one of the best! They are located at the Del Mar highlands and always taste fresh and delicious. Pictured below is the salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough and the butter & salt.

Donut Bar has a wide offering of AMAZING donuts. Every time I've gone in, they have new and enticing flavors - they even have a grilled cheese made between two glazed donuts.. drool worthy! 

SALT & STRAW

Located in Little Italy and Del Mar. Their ice cream is hand-made and each month, they come out with a different list of unique flavors.

COPPERTOP COFFEE

& DONUTS

Coppertop Coffee & Donuts is a MUST visit. They have donuts, ice cream, coffee, and other goodies. Their donuts are made fresh when you order and are SO soft and delicious. The donut I got was a PB&J with oreos and I wish I could eat there everyday. 

SCOOPS

Another amazing spot that offers flights! ICE. CREAM. FLIGHTS. Scoops is located in La Jolla right by the beach. They offer ice cream, coffee, and crepes. They also offer a bunch of vegan flavors which is great for people who are lactose intolerant but still loves ice cream!!

FREEZESD

BESTIES COOL TREATS

Located at Liberty Station. This is a super cute retro dessert shop - ice cream, frozen yogurt, and other yummy treats!
