About Saffron and Rose Persian Ice Cream Del Mar

We started crafting completely unique Persian ice cream in 1974, founded by Ali Kashani AKA "Haji" to his friends in Westwood. Haji’s recipe for rich and fragrant ice cream traveled with him all the way from Tehran, Iran to the United States.... More

🍦 The Absolute Gold Standard for Ice Cream If you are searching for the perfect dessert, look no further for ice cream because Saffron and Rose in Del Mar is truly the best thing out there. This isn't your standard run-of-the-mill ice cream shop; it is a masterclass in Persian-style frozen treats. The texture is uniquely stretchy, creamy, and dense, which provides a much more luxurious mouthfeel than the airy scoops you find elsewhere. It has quickly become my top recommendation for anyone in the area looking to satisfy their sweet tooth with something high-quality and memorable. 🏆 Spoiler Alert: The Saffron Pistachio is the GOAT While they have a fantastic variety of floral and fruit-based flavors, I have to give a special shoutout to the saffron pistachio. To put it simply, it is the GO

S-tier ice cream shop. Just don’t be like the rude idiots behind us in line. There’s a sign that asks you to please wait for the party ahead of you to finish, but reading isn’t for everyone, I guess. We felt crowded and rushed, even though we allowed the group ahead of us ample time. I was blown away by the orange blossom and jasmine flavors. Girlfriend got the saffron pistachio which was super rich and delectable. We really enjoyed the unique offerings and the friendly service. It was the perfect way to end our day at the beach.

# A Hidden Gem for Persian Ice Cream in Del Mar **Rating: ★★★★☆** Tucked away in Del Mar, this tiny Persian ice cream shop offers something truly special that you won’t find at your typical ice cream parlor. While they do offer familiar favorites like Nutella, vanilla, mint chip, and chocolate walnut, it’s their Persian-inspired creations that truly set them apart. The saffron and rose ice cream is an absolute standout – a beautifully crafted flavor that perfectly balances the exotic floral notes of rose with the luxurious, honeyed complexity of saffron. The green pistachio is rich and nutty, while the saffron and pistachio combination creates an indulgent Middle Eastern experience. For the more adventurous, flavors like guava, passion fruit, and mango transport you to tropical paradise

Saffron Rose Ice Cream has officially arrived in Del Mar, and it’s everything we’ve been waiting for! This beloved brand has long been known for its rich, traditional Persian-inspired flavors especially their signature saffron rose and the quality is truly unmatched. I used to drive all the way to Orange County just for a scoop, so having a location right across from the beach in San Diego feels like a dream come true. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm smiles and outstanding customer service. The staff is consistently kind, professional, and genuinely happy to share this sweet experience with everyone who visits. It’s no surprise there’s always a joyful line of people eager to get their hands on this incredible ice cream. Saffron Rose Ice Cream brings a unique charm

This is absolutely my favorite ice cream shop!! Their ice cream is freshly made every day and tastes amazing. It'll be the most authentic Persian ice cream experience you’ll find in the United States. In addition to the delicious flavor, the staff are incredibly friendly and always willing to recommend nice flavor choices and combinations. The portions are large, and the prices are pretty affordable. I highly recommend stopping by!! 5 Star experience for sure!
