Our ingredients

At El Valle Ice Cream, we believe that the best ice cream starts with the best ingredients. That's why we source our milk and cream from local farms, and use only the freshest fruits, nuts, and other ingredients. Our commitment to quality means you can taste the difference in every bite!

Our process

Our ice cream is handcrafted in small batches, using traditional techniques and modern twists. We start by pasteurizing the milk and cream, then add our signature mix-ins and flavors. Each batch is churned slowly to create a smooth, creamy texture that melts in your mouth.

Our shop

Our chill ice cream joint is smack dab in the heart of Encinitas, perfect for a quick sugary fix on your way home from class or hitting up the waves. Outdoor seating? You bet!
