National Ice Cream Day is coming July 19th, get all of the details on what we are doing here!
Our second scoop shop
Same handcrafted ice cream, same monthly menu, same Hold the Cow line — in a quieter corner of San Diego with bigger patio energy. Eighteen flavors, every one made by hand.
About this shop
Our second shop opened because we wanted to bring our ice cream to more San Dieagans. Same ice cream, made by the same hands at the same place — just a different room with a different crowd. Date nights, family runs after soccer practice, the after-work cone you didn't know you needed.
The "Always" trio doesn't change: Old Reliable, FTW Chocolate, Chocolate Covered Strawberry — three flavors that have won national awards we promised ourselves we wouldn't brag about. The other slots rotate at the beginning of every month. Voted on by you. Stress-tested by us.
Hold the Cow rides on the same menu, never the back shelf. Built on various plant bases, scooped from dedicated tubs. Half the time you won't notice they're dairy-free until we tell you.
Bigger patio. Twice the outdoor seating of our San Marcos shop. Good for groups, dog people, and people who hate fluorescent lights.
All the same flavors as San Marcos. Sister shops, identical menus, synced daily.
Plenty of parking. Street parking right in front of the shop, plus an entire parking lot just across the street.
Open late. Until 10pm Daily.
