Cali Cream Homemade Ice Cream

I have my favorite ice cream of all time, and for the first time ever, I genuinely thought I had a contender to replace it. Cali Cream was a great experience when visiting San Diego. Set in the heart of the Gaslight District and close to Petco Park, the house-made flavors are not only unique from your standard flavors but full of the ingredients that the flavor is named after. For me, it was Graham Central Station and a Lemon Cookie and Cream that was maybe the best single scoop I’ve had in a long time. In addition to flavor after flavor of ice cream (get a sampler of four flavors if you can’t choose), they also have an assortment of cookies, treats, and Rice Krispy treats. There is literally something for everyone if you need a sweet treat on a hot day or after a downtown meal. At the end of the day, I still have my favorite ice cream establishment, but Cali Cream has solidified itself as my second favorite, which is still saying something!

Must Try! So many unique offerings. I believe the staff mentioned over seventy. We absolutely loved the Graham Central Station ice cream. What a punch of flavor but goes down smooth. I also had the bread pudding which I had them warm up for me. The combination was amazing. Will be back!

Ice cream was delicious. So many options to choose from. The brownies, cookies, macaroons were extremely fridge burnt. It is clear they have been in the case for too long without any packaging, must be a week old. Extremely disappointing (i know this is an ice cream place, but as someone with a gluten allergy, when you see a gluten free brownie, you grab it)

Incredible Ice Cream! Flavors are on point and staff is friendly. 10/10 recommend stopping in for a scoop. A single is plenty unless you’re really hungry.

Cali Cream is such a delightful spot with great vibes and even better service. Glenda was absolutely amazing, a perfect example of warm hospitality paired with strong product knowledge. She made us feel completely at ease, encouraged us to try different flavors, and genuinely cared about helping us find something we’d enjoy. We ended up going with the Black Cherry, and it was phenomenal. Their ice creams are classy, incredibly tasty, fresh, and clearly made with a lot of love and care. They also make ice cream cakes, along with a few non–ice cream cake options, which is great for celebrations and special occasions. The store itself has a really great atmosphere, and a nice added touch is the water refilling station located near the cashier area, thoughtful and convenient. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!
