"Opening its first dedicated storefront this Sunday, October 15, at the Freeman Collective in South Oceanside, Little Fox Cups & Cones is a San Diego–based ice cream company that took off during the pandemic. I note that founder Meghan Koll, who has more than 15 years in hospitality and worked as a bartender at Carlsbad’s Jeune et Jolie, turned leftover cold brew cream from a 2019 cocktail into the first batch of ice cream and grew the business by selling through Viewpoint Brewing Co., operating a mobile ice cream tricycle at more than 150 events and weddings, and running a pop-up window at Leucadia boutique thread spun. The creamery makes super-premium, 16 percent butterfat ice cream entirely from scratch and will offer close to 20 rotating flavors in scoops, ice cream flights, and pints-to-go; signature flavors include Fig’get About It (vin santo fig compote, vanilla cream, and cheesecake pieces), Roasty Toasty (toasted brioche cream, mascarpone swirl, and crispy parmesan), and Club Med (citrus and olive oil with sea salt and Cyclops Farms tomato marmalade). Little Fox is also known for its adorable, gourmet ice cream tacos—complex, nostalgic takes on the Choco Taco—and the Symbiotex Design Lab–designed kitchen in South Oceanside is large enough to support additional scoop shops while also producing ice cream cakes for birthdays and special occasions." - Candice Woo
