Idyllwild Ice Cream Shop — Restaurant in Idyllwild-Pine Cove

Such a cute little place!

This was my first time in Idyllwild and I'm a bit indecisive, so it can take me a while to choose what I'd like. A lovely person with green hair helped us, and they were so patient and kind with all my silly questions (which there were plenty of!) and my partners as well. It got busy as we arrived, and while the worker never dawdled, we also never felt rushed or pushed through. The ice cream was DELICIOUS! I ended up getting a chocolate flavor (I've never been a chocolate ice cream lover!) but the workers description sold me, and I wasn't disappointed; my partners ice cream was also fantastic!

DEFINITELY stop by here if you're in the area, a cute little shop with sweet treats and even sweeter...

Not so good first, short n sweet. Jerky selection is somewhat limited when we went - stocks were low, but probably blame covid. Peppered garlic that we bought was pretty good though.

Now with the good\great. Super friendly staff. Answer any questions, will give advice based on tastes and all around friendly. Seasonally they'll highlight local fruit influenced flavors (a must!) Blackberry ice creme using Idylwild berries last time we went - just WOW! You won't find quality like this in any store.

They are also very dog friendly. If your dog is dairy-ok, they have little treats for them too. Dog friendly vanilla with doggy biscuits sprinkled on top.

I must stop for us eveytime \ year we're on...

Moved here to Idyllwild about 6 months ago. Having small children we found this shop right away! The owner Terry and his family have been beyond wonderful each time we visit. Our Pyrenees puppy has grown up on the doggie bowls here and gets as excited as the kids. The kids love the sherbet, pop rocks and party flavors, while dad and I go for the dairy free coffee/Oreo or Almond Joy, and whatever Terry decided to create that day. The almond and coconut milk flavors are so dreamy delicious! I tried a sugar free, dairy free coffee today that was melt in my mouth subtly sweet. So many choices. This place is full of warm personality and the treats are made with love, I swear you...
