Fantastic ice cream place. We tried strawberry cheesecake and salted caramel flavors. Both were yum!

The best ice cream EVER! So good. Definitely get the cone, the best waffle cone I’ve ever had. They can do a “split” scoop which counts as one scoop but two flavors. It was more than enough and sooo delicious. The peanut butter flavor was a stand out! Thanks also to the lovely girl who served us.

We were beyond full after a terrific lunch at Bettina. But we watched an endless stream of people with their happy faces emerging with various sizes of ice creams. I even saw a repeat customer, all in the space of an hour! So yes, we were getting the ice cream... they have a happy hour with a tiny free cone when you buy a regular one. The flavors sounded creative and wonderful. I was so sad that I only had room for one. Flavors were fresh and housemade. What a treasure.

This is some of the best, creamiest ice cream I’ve ever had. So much better than McConnell’s Ice Cream. I would highly recommend Rori’s.

The service here has always been great. The ice cream is also always very good. There is some seating there in front of their store front. They had changed their menu since the last time we had gotten ice cream so we chose different flavors and were pleasantly surprised with what we chose. They also give you samples. They no longer have the flavor churros con leche.

Giving this five stars so it will come up at top, ice cream is amazing as always but the girls working at around 6:30 (girl with nose earring, gave the tiniest amount of ice cream for $8. It’s absurd. Please do something about this, the other girls are way better and more nice.

After searching for hours around Santa Barbara, a competitor told us that Rori's Artisanal Creamery had Lavender ice cream, my wife's favorite.We ordered several flavors: Lavender, Strawberry, and Root Beer. OMG!! All of them were delicious... coming from someone that just got back from Italy and has been eating the world's best ice cream/gelato for a month.These folks are the real deal, and you will be very happy you visited them.
Brown Sugar Banana, Pistachio and Black Pepper, and Serious Dark Chocolate were all amazing flavors. I'll definitely try more next time I'm in the area. I appreciated the Itty Bitty size being available.

Roris Artisanal Creamery changed my life. I was having a bad day and decided I would get some ice cream. Roris happened to be around the corner. I entered and the service was delightful and lovely. I was welcomed and greeted with warm smiles and cold ice cream as I was able to sample any ice cream I pleased. And may I say there was no shy samples. I tried almost all of them, except one. When I asked one of the nice girls behind the counter she suggested the honey lavender ice cream. I was afraid to sample an icy treat wirh such bold flavors, but alas I sampled it anyways. When the spoon entered my mouth and the cold honey lavender flavor touched my tongue my life was forever changed. The day I tried honey lavender ice cream was the day my taste in ice went from a boy to a man. I would no longer eat such childish flavors such as thrifty cotton candy or bubble gum flavored helados, but only would I eat honey lavender. Thank you Roris for the amazing service and the amazing ice cream. I will be sure to come in evey week for a pint of honey lavender.

Rude service. The pink-haired and brunette girl at this place seemed more interested in gossiping about what was going on around the place. When they finally acknowledged we were in front of them, they were rude.The ice cream was nothing special either.
