Stopped by here one evening a few minutes after 9pm when they close. Saw they were still open so we popped in hoping to get some ice cream. The girl working was being very patient with an indecisive customer in front of us and then extended the same patience to help us next. I truly appreciated her willingness to serve us "after hours" technically speaking. You don't see that very often these days. Now to the ice cream... they have a great mix of both unique and classic flavors. Something for everyone. The flavors are rich, but not overpowering. The portions are generous and the prices are fair. If you're a cone person. I'd highly recommend the waffle cone too.

The best icecream in whole entire country. This place is a treasure. Anna, the owner, is so special. This shop is our favorite place in San Diego.

I've been coming here, on and off, for years, but for some reason, I've never taken the time to review it. This is a family business that specializes in producing some of the highest quality ice cream, in the San Diego area. Not an exaggeration. Almost as important as the quality of the ice cream, is the quality of the experience. Great customer service. Great ice cream (the attention to detail, makes all the difference) Comfortable, family-oriented, environment. Fair prices. What more could you want???

THIS IS THE BEST ice cream and experience I have ever had. It is reasonably priced, unique variety of flavors, fresh, sustainable, jolly environment and people! The next time I am in San Diego, you can BET on me eating all 3 meals here. Best ice cream of my life. Thank you!!?

We finally got to visit Mariposa ice cream. It's a bit hard to catch them open as they are closed for at least three days in a week, I believe. Cute and quaint shop that I heard is family-ran so you get that warn vibe inside. They have simple and not gimmicky flavors and we ended up getting a scoop of their banana walnut & cookies in cream. Amazingly, the big cup was only $4.50! They didn't have the waffle cone that day which we would've opted for. Ice cream was good but nothing too mindblowing? I'm curious if we could've gotten better flavors. It tasted very natural and homemade though. 5 stars for customer service and price-point worthiness, 3 for the ice cream itself.

Best ice cream ever! This place has kind of ruined ice cream for me because I can't and don't want ice cream from any other place. They have the most amazing texture and flavors. I love the maple walnut, cookies and cream, and chocolate chip cookie dough. It doesn't feel too heavy when you eat it. I love this place!!

I found Mariposa during the pandemic and still think about their coconut ice cream. I went there over the weekend, so excited about having it again after all this time. When I went to the counter, I was disappointed to find out it wasn't on the menu anymore! I asked the staff at the counter if it was a seasonal flavor because I loved it so much and she told me they had some in the back and she would get it for me also to mention, they were closing in ten minutes. The staff was so sweet and didn't make me feel rushed. That place has the best coconut ice cream and the best staff! Love Mariposa's!
This was the best ice cream I ever had, the cone was delicious and fresh. The ice cream was absolutely amazing and wonderful customer service.

Homemade ice cream on my list every week. Great flavors, some special flavors. Service is always nice and polite. Samples are a great help to confuse you, on what you thought you wanted. Try something new. It is a small friendly parlor, Anna, and her crews are the best. There's plenty to look at while you visit. My husband and I have been going there almost since it opened, once a week. Friendly guest you see when you're there. The crew welcomed you in.
