Ice Cream Review: Smitten Ice Cream

SMITTEN ICE CREAM

Smitten Ice Cream and Sprinkles

Smitten Ice Cream can be found all over California. I recently visited the El Segundo location after I went shopping and needed a snack! - UPDATE 2020: The El Segundo Location is permanently closed! :(

SMITTEN ICE CREAM MENU

Smitten ice cream is made with organic milk and cream... so it’s technically good for you! 😋 The cows producing said milk are living the good life in pasture-based family farms along Sonoma and Marin counties. They don't use any preservatives or artificial anything!

The chocolate chip cookie dough with pretzels is to die for! That perfect salty sweet combo! 🍓There is also a Strawberry buttermilk that is pretty superb, using strawberries from local SoCal farms!

Everything is made from scratch and made it right in front of you blending it with liquid nitrogen in their Brrr Machine! The Brrr machine is patented with double helical mixers and mega-smart software for the sweet smooth taste and texture.


Founder Robyn Sue Fisher

As I research all ice cream places, I'm so impressed by the founders stories and their ice cream passion.

Robyn Sue Fisher is my hero! Her ice cream dream literally started as she sold ice cream on the streets of San Francisco. She was disappointed in the artificial selections of ice cream and longed to create a smooth, creamy, fresh, natural solution. While attending Stanford, she took a 2 quarter Startup Garage class giving student the opportunity to pursue their entrepreneurial ideas. After a physics professor made ice cream in class, an idea sparked and to the drawing board she went! After several years, she perfected the Brrr Machine and took it to the streets of San Francisco in a red Radio Flyer wagon. She opened the doors to her first store in 2011 and her ninth store in 2017. 

I have so much respect for Robyn and her efforts of pursuing her ice cream dreams!

All cones are made in house too, wafting that irresistible smell around the radius of the shop!
