Mariposa Ice Cream

Cool hip shop in Normal Heights. We were on our way to another ice cream shop but the line was ridiculous. So I searched for another one so I can make my kids happy. It was the best mistake ever. I have to say it was the best ice cream in all of San Diego. It brought memories of my grandma's treats. You know that when food can activate memories, it is bomb. The flavors were ridiculously amazing. We went in and ordered our ice cream. It was so good that we ate next door so we could come back for more dessert. BTW, the 2 persons attending us were really kind and even shared some stories about the shop.

This spot is such a gem! I was greeted by the kindest woman at the counter who indulged in some lovely conversation while scooping my cherry ice cream brownie sundae. I love brownie hot fudge sundaes, and they do it right here with all the toppings! The shop is old school and charming. It was a really nice rainy afternoon pit stop. I just moved to Normal Heights and will be back often!

You walk in, there’s an old school vibe to the place. You know for fact that it’s been here for decades, which could only mean one thing—the ice cream has to be delicious. I was not let down! The ice cream is flavorful, but the most memorable part of this experience for me? The gentlemen who helped us was patient, kind and seemed happy to be there. I didn’t catch his name but he made it a memorable experience!
