Hammond's Gourmet Ice Cream

In an effort to solve the eternal dilemma of which ice cream flavor to choose, Hammond’s created a crafty solution: ice cream flights. Served in mini cones (waffle or cake), flights range in size from two to six cones. For big groups (or the exceptionally hungry), there is a flight of 32, which comes with every single flavor on the menu that day. Hammond’s imports handmade Hawaiian ice cream and sorbet, offering flavors such as Chocolate Coconut Macadamia Nut and Peanut Butter & Guava Jelly. They have over 300 different flavors in rotation, so there’s always something new to try. Following the success of their North Park location, Hammond’s opened stores in Point Loma and Pacific Beach as well.

The ice cream options were delicious here at Hammond's...the strawberry margarita was the best because it tasted like a sherbet and was not too creamy. (They had vegan options as well for those who are interested) I also enjoyed the banana cream flavor...if there are too many to make a decision, try a flight of flavors to have the best variety and they have games to encourage you to hangout with friends. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

I am pretty sure I would drive to San Diego (from Phoenix) just to get some more ice cream! I had the white chocolate macadamia nut ice cream. It was so so delicious. I was able to sample a bunch of their flavors and they were all delicious. Their ice cream is the perfect density, not too heavy, but not too light. The inside seating is not designed very well, but wouldn't deter me from going back.

One of the only places I know of in San Diego to get Ginger ice cream. Parking is a serious downside to Pacific Beach so have patience in mind. The ice cream flavors are so strong that the mini flight of six was a clash for me. The small is $3.99 for a very small scoop quality prevails over quantity.

Delicious! Most the flavors are non traditional. LOVED the flight and trying different ones out. We ended up really liking all the flavors we picked in our flight which was a pleasant surprise. I needed our flight to go and he managed to split our flight into a couple separate small containers and they were still perfect when I got home.
