McConnell's Fine Ice Creams

The finest ice creams made from scratch, since 1949
📍SB | LA | SLO | SD | OC We are a tribe of food people. And nothing else. Of any kind. Ever. The result? McC's.

A winemaker and a chef, obsessed with quality and fanatical when it comes to this unique product we churn out. The third generation stewards of the legendary Old Dairy, in downtown, Santa Barbara, we make our ice creams the same way McC's has for almost 70 years - from scratch - using California Central Coast milk and cream and the finest local, sustainable and organic, raw ingredients, sourced fr

om many of the same partner farms, artisans and purveyors we’ve worked with for decades. No stabilizers, fillers or additives. A perfect balance of pure flavor, smooth and consistent texture and incredible creaminess. The country's original, artisan ice cream.

Some of the best memories are made at our scoop shops. 🍦✨
