Ice Tickles Freeze 'N Eat Bars

Ice cream shop

👍👍 My daughter and I stopped in today 5/15/23 we were excited to check it out. The owner was very welcoming and gave us a wonderful introduction to his business. It is a great place with many wind choices, reminds you of the ice cream trucks that use to come by the house as a kid. I’d give the shop and...

Farm Americana

Farm

👍👍 What an exciting and memorable day at Farm Americana! I was recommended by a family member with grade school kids to check this place out.

Big Boy Market

Restaurant

👍👍 It was by chance that we passed by here while running errands. Someone was dressed as a burger, were hungry, it was fate. We pulled into an unsuspecting market & were so surprised to see a whole miniaturized restaurant inside. We ordered the El Greeko tacos & a smash burger with cheese. & a couple c...

Deep Barrel

Coffee shop

👍👍 The only fried ice cream I know around town! One order is enough for 2 people. Shop owner roasts their own coffee and has a visible roasting machine inside. He entertains the customers himself, came and introduced himself to us. They use compostable plates and cutlery! Definitely not your commercial...

Ken's Ice Cream Parlor

Lizzy’s Premium Frozen Yogurt

Frozen yogurt shop

👍👍 Did not expect this place to be as quaint as it was… they charmingly took the time to make every item (yogurt included) Halloween themed, going as far as hand cut decorations. The toppings were all that you would want. We’ll worth the stop.

PCH Shave Ice & Boba

Bubble tea store

👍👍 If you’re ever in Pismo Beach you have to visit PCH Boba! The owners Eric and Diane are down to earth and are the nicest people ever!
