    Best ice-cream, sorbet! What is great to me is that their ice-cream has less sugary taste to it.

    I opted for the fresh local strawberry ice cream and local raspberry sorbet. Both were fantastic and I was very excited to see them using fresh and local ingredients. My girlfriend got the Mimi’s Mud and also enjoyed it thoroughly.

    We did a quick drive up to grab a few pints on the way back from the ocean. Lots of yummy flavors, always fresh. They have a quick pick up window for ice cream pies, ice cream sandwiches, pints, etc🍦🍨

    Great ice-cream and sorbets. I like of their idea and concept of selling by weight rather than scoops because it allows you to freely mix and match. Came here expecting to try a couple of flavors but tried a whole lot!! Not sure how I would rank them because they were all excellent - mud pie, deep dark secret, cherry chip, the mango sorbet, orange, and then there was the spicy sweet raspberry jalapeño sorbet!!

    Mimi's has changed (honestly, though, has *ANY* place not changed?) since the pandemic. You no longer enter the store to order or eat your ice cream, but they have built a cute little cabana into the doorway where employees and patrons don't intermingle but you can still place your order. You order at the east window and pick up at the west window. And, like many places over the past couple years, there are tables and benches and stools that have been blocked off from the street to allow you to sit and enjoy your sweets! And the best part about Mimi's - the ice cream - hasn't changed. It is still hand crafted delicious and not TOO sweet. (Just be careful ordering chocolate syrup. If you want syrup, you are likely to get fudge sauce instead, so unless you are just as happy with either, double check when you order.) Mimi's gets my (infrequent, admittedly) desert vote.

    Absolutely excellent ice cream. I tried the strawberry and raspberry ice cream and both were amazing. Honest this was pretty perfect ice cream. I don't think I'd change anything about it from texture to flavor or whatever. The location can get very crowded and isn't very comfortable. I'd suggest you order to go. Nice that it's close enough to the Barlow for a short walk between drinking.

    It's ok, a bit disappointed in my Husband's 2 scoop Sundae. It was either not 2 scoops or the smallest scoops ever. My daughter and I got the Gluten Free ice cream Sammies, they were very salty not as flavorful as I would have liked. I'm GF so I was happy to find a GF treat.

    The best ice cream in Sonoma County and it's not even close! We love to get ice cream here on our way back from a day trip to the coast. All of their flavors are worth a try but we are partial to the local strawberry and Mimi's Mud.

  • 5/5 Carola B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is always a fun place and popular with all ages. Great place to take the kids. The waffle cones are big and delicious. You can choose how much ice cream you want - not just by scoop but also size of scoop since you pay for the weight. Wonderful flavors like English Toffee with almond and entire chunks of toffee - yummy! The shakes are delicious as well. There is space to sit inside at happily colorfully painted tables and chairs, and also some outside seating, albeit on a rather busy street. However, a nice little park is just a couple of minutes by walking away.

    So good. Best mom and pop ice cream store ever

  • 5/5 Beautiful S. 1 year ago on Google
    Always good ice cream! Love their milkshakes and getting their double cone. Love their local strawberry flavor:) I love the outside seating area and so glad their starting to open up inside. Miss the structure and art. Always went there as a kid too and truly miss it when covid hit. Now it's opening up more and so glad !! It's always ice cream day.

    This place is a real Sebastopol classic. We have been many times. The Ice Cream changes every day. Parking was easy. Tasty, to say the least.

  • 3/5 Willis W. 1 year ago on Google
    wonderful as well. We didn’t stop there.. also got a slice of lemon butter milk pie and then bought the whole thing! All amazing and wonderful. Owner was friendly and very sweet

  • 5/5 Sahar S. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this ice cream place. They have wonderful ice cream and sundaes at affordable rates. I also love that their ice cream is fresh and homemade. The lines are long because the ice cream is to die for and the staff is very friendly. I live in Rohnert Park and sometimes make the drive all the way to Sebastopol for their amazing ice-cream. I have recommended it to my friends and my boyfriend's family and everyone absolutely loves it! Will definitely recommend it to anyone! I love to support local Sonoma County businesses.

    It was nice to see that they’re open again so that you can see what you’re buying and sit inside if you want. This place always pleases. If you come just about to pull on a visit you must stop here and try some phenomenal ice cream.

  • 5/5 Dianna L. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious! This was my first visit and I had Mimi's mud in a waffle cone. It was fresh, served quickly and the ice cream was a chocolate delight. You cannot go inside but the outside seating area was perfect on the watltm evening we visited. We will definitely go back!

    My wife and I had an amazing day in the surrounding area with friends and hit up the local ice cream shop to end our evening. The place was busy but then we remembered it was Saturday too. The line went quick and the turnarounds were very reasonable for the volume of people. My brownie sundae with fudge was spot on. My wife and I are from the east coast and it was our fist time in CA. You could tell this place was good by the amount of locals in line. Always a good sign. We would stop by again when we come back.

    Best ice cream in Sonoma county! All the flavors are delicious (haven't tried them all yet but based on what I've already had)! Line can get a little long if going during peak hours but usually moves faster than you would expect.

  • 5/5 Dan B. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool place, lots of good choices, nice outside area. Tons of regular ice cream possibilities, but also 6 non-dairy vegan sorbet choices, so that's cool. What was also really cool is that you can get a small sundae (1 scoop), which is pretty rare for sundaes, but definitely suited out non-gluttonous moods. And, yes, they make great flavors and great combos and it was delicious!

  • 5/5 Apple “Apple Pyro” I. 2 years ago on Google
    Our favorite ice-cream place in Sebastopol. Lavender and Italian soda are my a must. ❤️

  • 5/5 Rebecca W. 2 years ago on Google
    The vegan options were fantastic! I got a small green tea sorbet which was super creamy. I have no shame in saying I got back in line to get another small cup! For my second cup, I opted for the chocolate sorbet and raspberry sorbet. So fresh and deliciously creamy. I definitely was not missing the dairy!

  • 5/5 Christopher C. 2 years ago on Google
    A Sebastopol institution, Screamin Mimi's has it all - super delicious handmade ice cream, attentive friendly staff, and a convenient location next to the downtown Square. A favorite of locals and tourists alike, the line can grow down the block even on cold days, but it moves quickly and you can order some items ahead (see Express items in review pics) if you are in a rush. Enjoy your waffle cone, split, sando, or sorbet at their al fresco tables or in the adjacent Square. Yum!!

  • 4/5 Anastacia M. 2 years ago on Google
    Such an amazing place to get a sweet treat. Whenever I have dinner nearby walking here and getting my favorite order is a tradition. All the ice cream is so well-made and creamy. They also make waffle cones in house which are fresh and crunchy. Definitely a place to stop by.
