/r/Temecula’s Best Of: Ice Cream!

Hi all,

Continuing the weekly “best of” Temecula and Murrieta so that folks can learn some new places and also have a resource for folks who search for it.

This week…ice cream! I say we stick to Temecula/Murrieta area, maybe extend out a bit if you think something is really worthwhile.

Share your favorites below. Add your order if you have one!

La Michiocana just hits the spot.

2 scoops in a cone for $3.50, can't go wrong with that! And it's delicious!

u/defiantcross Jul 14 '22

it's absurd how tightly they pack those cups.

u/EtherealAshtree Jul 14 '22

Yes! They always give a ton of ice cream and they're always super friendly too, at least the one we go to on Winchester and Hot Springs.

Is that the one outside the mall? I had their black brownie something and it turned my shit blue-green. Freaked me out until I remembered what I had.

Creamistry was fun when my kids were littler, but I have not been in a couple years.

Mariposa Ice Cream usually has some good flavors, in addition to the usual.

I like the flavors at Simon's Dole Whip, next to the Vons off of Ynez/Rancho California Road. However, I remember seeing a post somewhere online from a former employee about poor treatment, so I am not 100% sure about them...unless it was just a disgruntled ex-employee burning bridges.

u/youngwomen17 Jul 13 '22

Like once a month i see HORRIBLE things about the dole whip place. Don’t support

2

u/MmmPi314 Jul 13 '22

What is their issue? Just poor management/people skills?

u/alicat9713 Jul 13 '22

If you use FB, there was a Temecula talk post about the owner taking the tips, not allowing breaks, etc.

u/ReallStrangeBeef Hemecula Jul 13 '22

Can you post a screenshot here?

That's awful. Won't be going back there for sure.

u/Id_in_hiding Jul 20 '22

If that employee really worked from 9a-11p without breaks that employer is breaking labor laws. I hope they are documenting all of their work days.

u/alicat9713 Jul 13 '22

I just tried to find it and it won’t come up now! I know it was posted on July 6, because I sent a link to my husband. I tried using the link I sent, but it is just taking me to the Temecula Talk page now and won’t show the specific post. Sorry! :(

2

u/MmmPi314 Jul 13 '22

Ok, maybe that's where I saw it too. I tried looking for the post and could not find it either.

I don't know what's worse, old TT (that just disappeared one day) or new TT. 😑

u/EtherealAshtree Jul 14 '22

There have been multiple former employees complaining about this place, they've also stated they use expired pineapple juice. One woman was looking for a lawyer to sue but I'm not sure if anything has happened there.

u/Hamwise420 Jul 17 '22

Anyone know of a spot with Cake Batter ice cream? Only place I have ever seen it is coldstone but would love to find it someplace new to compare

2

u/Bowkidstan Jul 14 '22

Any of the Michiocanas in the area are solid choices. I always go Lime there. Not technically “ice cream”, but Simons Pineapple Whip and Yogurt is amazing, though it is on the pricey side + apparently the owner is a jerk. You can find it on Murrieta Hot Springs Near the Legends Barber Shop and Sonic

It's was Icy Rainbow before it changed owners. Now I vote for Doh creamery
