McConnell's Fine Ice Creams - Carlsbad

Stopped by McConnell’s yesterday, ice cream was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. They also offer vegan and organic options. I sampled the chili lime mango sorbet, which was refreshing and delicious, but this time I was in the mood for ice cream.

McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams – A Sweet New Addition to Carlsbad The newly opened McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams in Carlsbad brings the beloved Santa Barbara tradition to North County, offering the same creamy, handcrafted flavors that made the original famous.

Cannot recommend this place enough!

But I can’t tell what’s missing. Definitely on the heavier side like salt and straw. I’d say there are better options around SD.
