Is there anything better than treating the kids to an ice cream cone on a hot summer day in Santa Monica? We can't think of one.
Luckily, We have a lot of great locally-owned ice cream shops in our city where we can indulge in yummy goodness. Here are FIVE of our favorite places for ice cream in Santa Monica:
Sweet Rose Creamery
Brentwood Country Mart
225 26th St #51, Santa Monica, CA 90402
What we love: Ice Cream is made in small batches using ingredients from local, organic and regenerative farmers. They use only the best organic and GMO-free ingredients.
Rori's Artisanal Creamery
910 Montana Ave. Santa Monica, CA 90403
What we love: "Organic dairy, local produce, no B.S.! The only way to make it pure is to make it pure.” Rori Trovato, the founder, has created a fresh, creamy texture and flavor. It's her recreation of her grandmother’s homespun ice cream. So tasty!
Dolcenero Gelateria
2400 Main St. Ste A3, Santa Monica, CA 90405
What we love: Ice cream made Italian-style and from produce secured at neighboring farmer's markets.
McConnell's Fine Ice Creams
15209 Palisades Village Ln Pacific Palisades, CA 90272
What we love: McConnell's Fine Ice Creams, founded in Santa Barbara, California in 1949, brings us back to when we were kids. They make ice creams from scratch, using the finest local, sustainable and organic ingredients, from partner farms & purveyors - on California's Central Coast and beyond. No preservatives, no stabilizers and no additives, of any kind. The result? Pure flavor, smoothly consistent texture, incredible creaminess, and a sweet, 70-year legacy of churning out the world's finest ice creams.
Smize Cream
395 Santa Monica Pl. Santa Monica, CA 90401
What we love: SMiZE Cream is super-premium ice cream with an edible surprise in every cup, called the SMiZE SURPRiZE. Strategically located at the bottom of every luxurious serving, the SMiZE SURPRiZE is a yummy reward after some serious digging - a fun & delicious discovery that appeals to the kid in all of us.
