The Penny Ice Creamery | Scotts Valley - Scotts Valley, California

Tasty ice cream and good service. Me and the boys needed a sweet treat after a hard days work. I got the double scoop in a waffle cone, apple crisp and vanilla. Two scoops was too much though, I should've stuck to one. Waffle cone was tasty as well!

Really rude guy working tonight selling miniscule scoops of ice cream for $6 a scoop. He upcharged us without telling us and didn't even give us a cone like we asked for the privilege of being screwed. He had no customers (no surprise there) and very few options for ice-cream or seating. I'll never go again. Don't waste your money.

Must visit ace in Felton. It's the best ice cream place I have ever tried. They are preparing ice cream with unique flavors. I tried Basil ice cream and its yummy.

This is the first visit to this location. It's a great newer location with both indoor and outdoor seating, can accomodate a lot of clients unlike their original Santa Cruz downtown outfit. Enjoyed the Peach Cobler in a cone sitting outdoor on a hot day enjoying the cool evening breeze. Love their ice creams and their unique flavors. They have few vegan options as well. Our group tried few others including Verve Coffee (another local), Mint, Shorbet etc. Always enjoy their rich fresh ice creams ... everything is local!

Indoor seating and outdoor seating are both nice. It’s a great spot after spending time on beach. Their roasted marshmallow topping is a must try. We tried coffee and strawberry ice cream. Flavors are limited but good. Taste wise nothing special but ambience and toppings makes it worth a visit.

This is some real ice cream.
First time I had a penny ice cream was at the felton farmers market. Once I saw the verve coffee flavor I knew that's gonna be my new favorite flavor.

This Scott's Valley location was recently opened and the place looks great. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Their waffle cones are also as fresh as their ice cream because they make them there. Also last time I tried the toasted marshmallow topping and it was fun. A little too sweet for my taste but bet kids would love it.

Service was great and very friendly. Will definitely come back again. Highly recommended

I love this place! Independent locally owned shop. Makes all of their own ice creams from locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. Quality ice cream and sorbets with certain staples (Tahitian Vanilla and Dark Chocolate Sorbet) and other flavors that change regularly. We had the Lime Cardamom Cherry Crisp and the Verve Coffee Chocolate Almond Praline with toasted marshmallow fluff topping this time. 😋 So good! Always spotless, indoor and outdoor seating with a fire pit in the outdoor area. Staff are always friendly. Parking can be tricky because of shared lot with Starbuck's, but there is additional parking behind the building.

Horribe, service, very over-priced, tiny portions - don't waste your $$! We ordered a double-scoop in a cone plus an additional cup. The Harry Potter look-alike charged us $9.50 for a double scoop in a cup. He also gave us an extra cup. No cone. His digital register reqsted payment without itemizing so j had no idea what k was being charged for. He did NOT want to give me a receipt, even though I asked multiple times. When I politely reminded him I'd requested a receipt there times, he finally gave me one. I noticed he charged me an extra $1 for a hand-made cone. I asked him for my dollar back, or the cone I paid for. He told me no, saying he charged for the extra cup. I said he failed to inform us the cup would be $1 extra, and the price of the extra cup was not posted, plus we had asked for a cone. I then asked him to just transfer my scoop into a cone. He refused saying I had already used my cup. I asked for the managers name. He said he was the manager and would not tell me his name. Had I known all this, I would have gone across the street for a cone at fast-food restaurant burger golden arches
