Love this place! The ice cream is great! Love all the music memorabilia on the walls too. The owner is so nice & friendly & I love how Mariposa gives back to the community each year with Dining Out for Life! I just wish there was one in the East County!
The best damn cookies and cream ice cream on the planet and run by lovely humans
Delicious, just absolutely delicious. And it’s a huge bonus that the atmosphere is so special and they’re such great community members!
The best ice cream I have ever had. The service is always so courteous and helpful.Always worth the trip to this jewel in Normal Heights.

Can't beat Mariposa ice cream. Their coffee ice cream is loaded with flavor. It's the best!!!!
I love to stop by this ice cream shop everytime I'm in San Diego. They have the yummiest Mexican chocolate ice cream :)

Loved this spot...my two year old could never find ice cream in her favorite color, purple, until mariposa - blueberry homemade ice cream!
Also, love that it's all natural with no added artificial colors....we will be back!
Delicious! Was eating dinner nearby and wanted something sweet and thank goodness we found this place. I had Cookies and Cream and Maple Walnut, the Ice-Cream was so good! I am not in the area often but would go back just for this ice-cream. it was so loaded with cookies and walnuts!

This is one of the best ice cream shops, not only in San Diego but that I've ever visited. I'm fat and I travel so trust me on this one.
My personal favorite is banana-walnut, but if you're new here, try mexican chocolate or cookie dough.
The service is outstanding, the way they treat everyone (I mean EVERYONE) here should be the benchmark for all businesses.
The atmosphere is really nice, you can walk through the family business history while waiting and enjoy looking at some cool collectibles.
The space is limited if you're planning to have your ice cream there but take-out is a great option too. Their product travels really well.
Parking is close to none but you can park nearby and walk, is a nice area.
So much love for this place. This hole in the wall local ice cream shop just gives you such a warm vibe. They have quite a variety of flavors to choose from. The ice creams they have are not too creamy and not too sweet. Perfect to fulfill your cravings without all the guilt!! Support local business!!!
I love this great small business. I've been here several times. Their ice cream is always delicious, and the workers are always nice and courteous. They usually have about a dozen flavors available. Cute, eclectic decor.
Nice local place to grab a scoop. I got a shake and they had some Vegan Flavors for the little girl I was watching that is allergic to eggs. (Because apparently eggs in ice cream is a thing?)
No plastic products, they gave wooden spoons and thick paper straws for shakes.
The line was to the door when I walked in but it moved quickly.
the BEST mexican chocolate ice cream i have ever had!! better than the one i got in san francisco!! it tastes just like champurado it was delicious!!!
Great ice cream with wonderful people. Stop soon and try them all. I recommend the Mocha Sundae. It was delish.
Hands down the best ice cream in San diego! They make all of the ice cream themselves on site with recipes they developed years ago. The service is excellent. The prices are unbelievably low. Whenever friends visit I always take them there. It's a real treasure. I highly recommend it.
Best ice cream in town. The pictures inside are amazing!
The ice cream here is super delicious! The price is definitely worth it. Especially when you ask for one scoop most places give you so little. Mariposa ice cream give you a generous amount of ice cream. From cones to milkshakes.
We'll definitely be back soon! The waffle cone is super fresh and also a great deal! It's flakey but sturdy and delicious. I got pumpkin ice cream and my husband got cookies n cream and coffee. I tried his coffee ice cream and wish I had ordered it! It was definitely the best, strongest coffee flavor ice cream I've ever had. We randomly popped in on a Saturday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised by this ice cream shop!
Best ice cream I have hade in my life! Would recommend to everyone and anyone
Nice!! Busy but for a reason. This icecream is sooo good!! Orignal flavor, i got the walnut banana and it tasted like banana bread as icecream. They also go coconut and it had real coconut shavings in it. My boyfriend got mexican chocolate and it tasted like a cup of abuelita in icecream. Yummy and they serve big sevings too.
They have a lot of flavors, the ice cream is very creamy and delicious. It's a nice spot to stop for a quick treat, I usually get the small cup and sit at the tables outside. They have some nice Beatles memorabilia inside too 🤩
very popular local ice cream store!
handmade and natural. favorite for families, children!
Delicious in store made ice cream you can actually taste the freshness! Real nice people running the place definitely a hidden gem!
I had the blueberry 🫐 ice cream. It really had a good flavor. Friendly service.
This place was fairly priced and had great service! All the staff were friendly and answered any questions I had about the menu! They had some indoor and outdoor seating which was nice since the weather was perfect when we went. I wish they had one in Phoenix like this!
