The ice cream was phenomenal! You have to stop by and try this place out if you are traveling through here. They have ice cream cocktails ($14-$16). As well as snacks.

The lavender honeycomb was the best ice cream flavor I've had in a long time. The honeycomb gave the ice cream a surprisingly chewy texture. My friend's spring flowers ice cream had a very pleasant zesty flavor. Butterscotch was okay. It wasn't as flavorful in comparison to the others.

My daughter has raved about their ice cream so went there two days ago to get some ice cream to go with a Mom's Apple Pie I got in Sebastopol. Nice to see a busy place, server worked very hard to get every last ounce of Madagascar Vanilla into the pint container. Excellent ice cream; I'm glad I didn't get more or I'd definitely have it tonight!

This was my first visit to Nimble &Finn's and I was not disappointed. They had a good variety of ice to choose from and the decor and atmosphere were warm and welcoming. I got the flight because I just had to try almost everything ?.Dietary restrictions: They have some vegan options.
Highly recommend coming here for ice cream and getting the sampler to share. The ice cream is super smoothe and creamy. The flavors change and there are some interesting combinations. By far my favorite is the lavender and honeycomb because it is soooo sooo good. I would be in trouble if I lived close by. The ice cream are all about the same color so made it hard to remember which 8 flavors we got but it was all tasty. The inside is spacious with unique and comfy seating so can definitely be a nice location to meet with friends.

Came here on the way back from wine tasting and this definitely makes the list of must stops whenever we're in the area. Nimble and Finn's is a cute artisanal ice cream shop in the downtown area of Santa Rosa. It was raining the weekend we went so when we got there , there was no line since it wasn't ideal ice cream weather. I wish I could give half stars, would give this a 4.5, They have a wide selection of unique flavors that rotate. You can get two flavors in a single scoop so I ended up getting the chocolate, pretzel coffee and lavender honeycomb (usually don't like lavender or honeycomb but this was so good and the hint of lavender was just right) on a homemade waffle cone. Flavor of the cone was good but one thing I didn't like is they don't fill the bottom with chocolate so the ice cream ended up dripping out as it melted. I read some other reviews who said that this might be better than Ici's (my favorite ice cream shop, so sad that it closed). While I still think no one can even compare to Ici's this shop was still very good and I'll definitely be coming back!

Creamsicle ice cream with a whole pint of craft beer? YES please. This place is amazing. The inside is colorful but also pastel. They sell delicious pies and savory waffle dogs because you can't eat ice cream on an empty stomach. But mostly importantly they provide craft ice cream cocktails.I decided on the black velvet because whiskey, stout, and chocolate sounded like a reasonable combo, and the toasted marshmallow fluff was just icing on top of the ice cream.
Love this ice cream shop and its late hours! I highly recommend the whiskey butterscotch or lavender honeycomb.Vegetarian options: It’s ice cream, so vegetarian-friendly, but might have trouble finding vegan options,Parking: You might not get a spot directly in front of the establishment, but if you’re willing to walk a block, you can find parking at the new lot under the highway (or steal a spot at Chevy’s, if desperate).Kid-friendliness: Not Baskin Robbin’s, so take note that the flavors are “weird” & “expensive”, but it’s an ice cream shop so of course it’s kid friendly!Wheelchair accessibility: THIS IS COOL: No stairs and a wide open double door entry system for smooth access inside. Very limited seating (3 small tables along a far wall and a wine bar in the back corner), but the way it’s laid out would definitely allow room for a wheelchair at each table.

One of the best ice creams I have ever had in my life! I am very picky when it comes to ice cream and only eat them when it really strikes a balance.. I usually don't go for the typical flavors that are commonly available so Nimble and Finn just took me to another place (mentally) when I tasted their flavors!So many great options and generous quantities so had to take my time to decide but also immediately knew which would make my heart happy. I tried the crème Brûlée, white chocolate with raspberry and lavender honeycomb and I settled with the Lavendar Honeycomb and it was the right decision. Super yummy! I added honeycomb candy and almond nuts to it and was very fulfilling. The service was quick and it's got a fun fun ambiance of cozy chairs and lot of seating areas :)Vegetarian options: lots of veg optionsKid-friendliness: great options for kids
Was visiting Santa Rosa and was looking for a GOOD ice cream to satisfy. WOW! Small batch and delicious. Nice selections of worthy flavor staples and creative flavor combinations. Tough choice to make and was glad I could taste. Toppings contain staples and complimentary first class choices like honeycomb and cornflake crunchies. Make sure to check out case of pints, ice cream sandwiches and ice cream tacos the latter two with homemade casings. Kind and knowledgeable staff. Snack food choices look interesting. I must come back for a homemade waffle dog (corn dog) but other grilled cheese options sound great too.
