RECOMMENDATION – We will be back. But less often – pricey.
(7:30pm Tuesday night)
(4 adults)
We’ve been here a few times. The ice cream is good. Great choices. A solid 4.5/5. But the price gets me. Ugh.
VALUE – $22.50 – 3/5 – due to price.
$7 for a small scoop.
– Ordered 3 small scoops. One was in a waffle cone.
PORTION SIZE- 5/5
Normal scoops.
SERVICE- 5/5
Great and friendly service. They always have helpful servers and are happy to let you try everything.
ATMOSPHERE – 5/5
It’s located in the new shopping area in San Juan Capistrano. Great environment. Nice place for a date of to lazily shop. Lots of food options.

I prefer Handel’s ice cream over McConnell’s. But the McConnell’s location is great for a date.

I tried their Santa Barbara strawberry flavor. It was so creamy and not that sugary. It also had chunks of fresh strawberries in them. I also tried their non dairy chocolate flavor and it was super good. They give you tasters to taste and choose the best flavor to your liking. Their waffle was also fresh and crunchy. A must try for me and a good place to bring kids.

I was having a hard time choosing a flavor, but the staff kindly let me try a few different ones ✨
I ended up getting the Earl Grey and Green Tea flavors — they were not too sweet and just perfect for my taste! Really elegant and smooth
If I ever visit San Juan Capistrano again, I’d love to come back here.
Also, I was so surprised when the staff said “thank you” in my native language It made me feel so happy! Such a fun and heartwarming experience

10$ for a small 4oz cup of ice cream is robbery. The quality of ice cream is good but its definitely not justified at all.

Delicious ice cream that typically I can only get at the store! Generous with the samples, very friendly and upbeat staff—even at the end of the day. Salted Carmel & Banana was ridiculous We’ll be back with the kids because they’ve got 4 dairy free options including vegan sorbet! Yay! And added bonus, fire pit to sit around outside.

Anthony had a great attitude , and awesome customer service. I had never been here $68 later hooked ! My favs are mango sorbet, sea salt cookies and cream! Definitely will be back. Thank you 🙂

I was so happy to stumble upon McConnell’s! It brought back so many great memories from my college days in San Luis Obispo. I’ve always loved their coffee flavor, with the perfect little kick from the ground coffee beans. My boyfriend tried the mystery flavor, and we had a great time guessing what it was.

My parents owned an ice cream shop when I was growing up in Vermont. Peppermint Stick was my all time favorite. McConnell’s Peppermint Stick is spot on and brought me back to those great summer days. I’ve never had a scoop i didn’t enjoy at McConnell’s. I live in Long Beach and 1st had a scoop at their shop in Ventura, since then I’ve traveled to Carlsbad and San Juan Capistrano for THE VERY BEST ICE CREAM! THANK YOU MCCONNELL’S

I came to McConnells Ice Cream in San Juan Capistrano with my husband on a weekend. The line was very long so we figured this must be a good spot.
Firstly of all, the ice cream scoops are TINY for the price you pay. I mean, Tiny! I have gone to many great ice cream spots and their scoops are nothing as ridiculous as McConnells.
The ice cream flavor is just ok. It’s not creamy, it was more icy which to me does not merit a good ice cream spot.
I don’t get the hype. I would not come back as there are many other freshly made ice cream spots that are way better. This is my honest review of this place.

WOW! We came here today for a couple of cones after hiking nearby and the ice cream was so creamy and delicious, and the gentleman who served us was so upbeat, friendly, and sweet, we would come back in a heartbeat!!! I had the dairy free cookies and cream and it was so creamy, you’d never know it was dairy free. Waffle cone was good. I can’t wait to bring friends back!!
