I live in Carlsbad and would drive up there just to eat your ice cream! I’ve been raving to everyone about it! Please open one down south!
Had to try southswellicecream in #SanClemente because of #instagram posts and it was so good. The ice cream did not disappoint and all the photos you see on Instagram taste better than they look �#icecream #southswell #southswellicecream #ocfoodie #instafoodie #dessert #handdippedicecream
By far the best ice cream bar I’ve ever had in my entire life. Nothing else even comes close. The Rolls-Royce of ice cream.
Fun, delicious, friendly, fast, creative! Went for the grand opening and there was a steady stream of people but never a long wait. Loved the creativity of the menu & the fun ambiance!
Best ice cream I've ever had, I don't recall what it was called but it was on the menu, had chocolate cake and raspberry sauce it was amazing!!!
Don't waste your time going to Baskin Robbins. This place is purely original. Absolutely loved it!
The almond joy bar rocks! Dark chocolate, coconut and almonds with a drizzle Carmel sauce on creamy-dreamy vanilla bar! Mmmmmmmmmmm!
Yummy went cause it reminded me of balboa bars. Very fair price as well. Nothing like ice cream at the beach !!
Love love love! Cute little local shop. Fun vibe. Delish deserts!
Loving this place! SO much fun! I loved the crushed pretzels! OMGOSH
Delicious and we don't have to drive to Newport! Amazing toppings.
Better than Dianeylands hand dipped ice cream bars.
Excellent I will be back with my granddaughter again
Good stuff! So many great flavors to put together!
Yes, please!!! Huge ice cream fan and this place does not disappoint. Several excellent choices - I did the Girl Scout mint cookies with the vanilla soft serve - very, very good! Friend got the banana dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts. Heard this place is usually rockin’ and I can see why. Great service with a smile and an excellent treat at a decent price!
It was crowded so hard to take photos but this place was super cool and worth the stop! I would definitely recommend it. For the ease and cleanliness I would suggest getting your soft serve dipped in a cup. We tried the Bite Me with butterfingers and peanut butter and it was 10/10! The chocolate wasn’t too sweet or too much which is just what we were looking for. The soft serve was smooth and the candy provided a unique texture. Watching them dip it was fun, too!
Cute little ice cream shop with the Best Ice Cream and super friendly staff. Place is super clean and it gets crazy busy. I had the vanilla ice cream cone dipped in chocolate with butterfinger topping.
The gals are so nice here!! Fantastic ice cream with fresh toppings and velvety chocolate! Highly recommend this location to anybody looking for a sweet treat! If you come here, get the toasted marshmallow with chocolate dip and graham cracker and vanilla, soft serve ice cream! YUM!!!
Wow, if you found this you already know!
So good! Fun little ice cream spot! It gets busy! The girls are super sweet that work there and sometimes funny! 😄 this is a must Stop In San Clemente! Got chocolate on chocolate and oreo. So good! 🤤
Good soft serve, bars, and frozen bananas. They only have chocolate, vanilla, and swirl ice cream but they have a lot of toppings.
Slightly over-priced, but it is good
Soooo good, got 2 parent traps and one custom Oreo and butterfinger dipped. Seriously delicious and very friendly, fast service
My go-to place for dessert when I'm in San Clemente. There's a Halloween inspired menu for the month of October. The Sin-A-Mon has a good flavor of cinnamon without being overly spicy. The Grave Digger has a nostalgic flavor reminiscent of when we made mud pies at school.
The line gets long on hot days but it's worth the wait!
This place is reminiscent of Bob's Old Fashion Ice Cream Bars back in the era of shopping malls only with a hip beach community vibe. Their ice cream bars are yummy and their customer service is fantastic. They even will do ice cream bar root beer or dr pepper floats, it's not the one size fits all bars like Costco had. These are made to order with topping and drizzle options.
I love this concept. So unique. It’s always upbeat and the staff is fun. The menu is delicious. Fun alternative to ice cream cones and fro yo. And if ice cream isn’t your thing you can get a frozen banana. The Englishman is my favorite.
This was honestly the best ice cream I've ever had. I got butterfinger with pretzels and salted caramel drizzle. So bomb 😘😋 Love this place. The town is so cute too.

Had to try South Swell Hand Dipped Ice Cream in San Clemente because of Instagram posts and it was so good. The ice cream did not disappoint and all the photos you see on Instagram taste better than they look 🍦
Great treats. Vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, or banana — all on a stick. You choose one, then they dip it in melted chocolate, and two toppings of your choice.
Tasty! My opinion, however, is that price is too steep for what you get. I get that there are higher rent prices there, but still.
**$5.75 each as of this writing.**
—>TIP: the banana dipped in chocolate, with toasted coconut, walnuts and chocolate with peanut butter drizzle is delicious!
Our first time here and it was very enjoyable. The staff explained how to order our custom ice cream, and served us with smiles. My daughters enjoyed the flavor of the base ice cream and the fun toppings. The store is very clean with cute decor. We will be back the next time we pass by.
Delicious ice cream bar (chocolate or vanilla) dipped in chocolate and covered with whatever toppings you want. Quick and easy. And if you can't decide what to pick they have options for you. I had the sweet and salty on a chocolate ice cream bar.
We were having a rough day and my 11 year old was happy to get South Swell to finish off the day. He loved the Campfire Smores Ice cream. So novel and cool to use a Brulee torch
absolutely love this place! we cannot come to san clemente without stopping here, so yummy!!
Really good ice cream, very nice atmosphere and cool people to take care of you. On a nice warm day It's a pretty cool place to stop and rest.
Highly recommend! A little bit on the expensive end (expect to pay 6-$7) but it’s really quality ice cream and it’s worth the stop. I got one of the speciality items, the Englishman with heath and chocolate and it was delicious!!
