Open since 1979, current owner Doug Rydbeck maintains the shop’s appeal as an old-school ice cream parlor. Hand-drawn signs and homemade penny fudge joins popcorn, pretzels and walls of bulk candy jars. The generously portioned scoops of ice creams come in colorful flavors such as "Ojai Orange" and "Pink Moment Strawberry,” poetically named after the rosy hue the surrounding hills take as the sun sets each evening. The shop features hundreds of flavors, but some run as purely seasonal options due to the fruits and herbs they incorporate. For instance, when the annual Lavender Festival occurs in Ojai every June, the shop sells delicious scoops of lavender-flavored ice cream. The parlour has made a name for itself around the country and has in fact featured in some big name movies - The 2010 movie “Easy A” was filmed in Ojai, which included a scene at Ojai Ice Cream. Not many places can boast that! Ask at the counter for advice on what’s good and be adventurous.
