When the kids are begging for ice cream, or your spouse is too, Santa Clara, CA has exactly what will fill those desires. So take a break from your daily routine and head out to one of the many favorites in the region. You won’t be disappointed when you visit one of the following.
1. Rocko’s
This joint specializes in frozen treat tacos, making it a very popular choice for that unusual sweet dessert. They also use only local, organic ingredients to make the perfect “taco.” This venue actually began in 2013 as a “taco” truck, but in 2018, they opened their first store. They actually still use the truck to cater your private event or party. The establishment also serves bowls with a variety of flavors, including several vegan options.
And if you’d like a cup of coffee or want to visit during brunch, they offer that as well. We suggest that you check out their website for photos of their amazing treats. You’ll want to visit immediately! Here’s a fun fact about the name: Rocko is the owner’s dog. They are open every day except for Monday and you’ll find them at 2905 Park Ave.
2. Honeyberry
This gelato-style venue serves an array of fresh, soft treats that are sure to be a hit. You can choose from a bowl or a cone. Or enjoy an ice-blended smoothie or shaved ice. They also have what’s called a “Signature Dessert Bar.” We suggest the Golden Toast, which is buttered toast with whipped cream, gelato, and toppings. Or try the Oreo Matcha Waffle, which comes with green tea gelato, dark chocolate drizzle, and toppings.
Visit 3488 El Camino Real any day of the week between noon and 8 p.m.
3. Salt and Straw
You’ll love this shop, which carries a variety of both traditional and unusual flavors. We like the Summer Picnic Series, with options like the cinnamon and honey-fried chicken, the sour cherry pie, the freckled mint chocolate chip, the pear and blue cheese, the chocolate potato salad, and the peanut butter brittle caramel fudge. Yes, they are all frozen desserts, despite the unusual names!
They also have a gift shop, so be sure to bring home some tasty options for the whole family. Salt and Straw is open every day of the week from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Find them at 2855 Stevens Creek Blvd. Ste. 1846.
