Coastal Cone & Parlor

This is such a good ice cream/dessert place! I stop by every time I am in the Oxnard area. The Hawaiian remix is one of my favorite flavors. We always get the 805 milkshake cuz Oxnard strawberries are the best! The fish zookies they sell are also delicious. Make sure you eat them when they are hot though. Fun atmosphere and cute location. Love this place! (Although it’s expensive, it’s quite fun.)

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Recommended some ice cream for first timers like us. Ice cream was delicious! Well, definitely returned.

I don’t know why this place gets so many good reviews, the ice cream isn’t really very good, it’s a little grainy and the flavors are generic. The place itself is run down and dirty. Sure, they have “fun” items on the menu but, it’s an ice cream parlor. Put up or shut up. I will give kudos to the young staff, they were very nice to everyone and seemed to enjoy working together

Very popular ice cream spot with a unique twist; a freshly made fish pastry filled.with Nutella and other yummy stuff for your liking can be added to your scoops.

First time trying this place and it did not disappoint. The ice creams were delicious and worth the little wait. And the little fish taiyaki(fish cone) makes a huge difference and makes it taste amazing. Definitely a must if u are Ventura harbor. Clean place great service and fast service and the line was pretty big but the coordination of the staff they get people in and out!!! :) Classic fudge & Oreo overload & mango sorbet

Friendly and quick service! Lots of options with unique flavors. I gave the Sour Splash soft serve a try and it was delicious!

A MUST TRY spot in Ventura! This place offers such a unique ice cream experience right by the water. The presentation alone is worth the trip. It is picture-perfect and totally Instagram worthy. We couldn’t get enough of the Nutella-stuffed Fishzookies, which are crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside. Pair it with creamy ice cream and wow. If you're anywhere near Ventura, do yourself a favor and treat yourself. This place is a delight for the senses!

If you're seeking a delightful and unique ice cream experience, look no further. Renowned for their fish-shaped waffle cones, known as taiyaki, this shop offers a variety of soft-serve flavors ranging from classic vanilla and chocolate to matcha. The menu caters to all taste preferences, featuring options from simple cones to adventurous creations like Tajín-covered ice cream. Each taiyaki cone is freshly made, crispy on the outside, and traditionally filled with sweet red bean paste or custard, adding an extra layer of flavor as you enjoy your treat. Service is prompt and friendly, with attentive staff ensuring a pleasant visit. Whether you're a local or a tourist, this spot is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in a whimsical and delicious dessert.

I have been here a few times but never tried anything myself. I always take my niece. She's enjoys all the fun offerings they have on their menu. They have unique and really fun presentations on their drinks and ice creams. I finally tried it for the first time at the Bowl of Thanks event that the Harbor hosted. They offered taiyaki's, the fish waffles with the filling. My niece was excited for me to try them. I had never even heard of them. They were actually really tasty! I would totally go back again just for those now! If I hadn't been given one at the bowl of thanks event I never would have had one and knew what i was missing. The taiyaki's from here and the tacos from Baja bay surf n tacos were the best things in my opinion at the Bowl of Giving! Thanks for letting me try the taiyaki's. I will be back for sure next time I visit just to get a few of these!

Stopped by Coastal Cone while wandering around Ventura and decided to try their Ubeyaki -- and wow, it did not disappoint. It's basically a warm, fish-shaped waffle (like taiyaki) filled with ube soft serve, and the combo was SO good. The ube was creamy and just sweet enough, and the waffle was soft on the inside with a nice crisp on the outside. Super satisfying. The shop itself is cute, right by the pier, and they have a ton of fun soft serve flavors. But honestly, the Ubeyaki alone is worth the visit. Definitely a fun little treat if you're in the area!

Everytime we come to Ventura harbor, we have to come to coastal cone. Everything slaps! The crew is always friendly. There is patio seating with a nice view of the harbor. I usually order one of their signature fish cones. Today I ordered a classic fudge sundae. It was $14. I thought it was a little pricey for a basic sundae, buuuuut I did share it withy husband, so what's whatever.

On busy weekends, there are long lines. But it goes quick and they are very well organized on how they handle crowds. Ordered a pineapple float and triple seas drink! Yummy!! Great view. People watching is awesome. Grab a treat and just sit, relax and watch the boats, people and listen to music.

Coastal Cone is a great spot for ice cream cones and sundaes in the Ventura harbor. I definitely understand its popularity, with only so many super kid free options for dining and snacks in the harbor, it's a treat I'm sure many kids look forward to when they come. I mean who doesn't love a good ice cream shop? Always delicious smells coming from this spot as they bake their famous fish ice cream cones. Cute decor and signage makes this place inviting. Since I'm not a huge sweets fan, you'll never catch me coming here when there is a long line lol. Which sometimes there is. However, I've wondered in a few times off speak hours when there were no lines and I could grab a quick bite. I'm one of those people who really has to be in the mood for ice cream. So I've only been here like 3 times in the last 10 years. Upon my most recent visit last week, I came in on a dreary day and there were almost no customers. Staff were friendly but nothing over the top or memorable. They got me in and out which is A-okay on my books. I opted for the pineapple coconut ice cream and it hit the spot. Delicious. Also I will give them credit for it only being one scoop they did load it pretty big. Mainly the reason for my one star just comes down to pricing. Almost $7 for a one scoop cone. To me it's not worth the price but yes, when having a random craving it's fine. But for a family of 5 that's as much as dining in somewhere for a simple ice cream. Idk how people afford it. All of that to say, coastal cone is great for the community, good ice cream, just a bit too pricey for them to be on my regular rotation.

This is a very popular spot at the harbor. Be prepared to wait forever for your selection as it is always crowded. Not a spot that I have to go to necessarily but plenty of ice cream selections. Not a very sit down friendly place. They kindly ask you to wait outside for your name to be called to get your selection. There are seats on the inside, but I don't know who's lucky enough to be able to sit down in those. Good luck.

Located right next to the water, Coastal Cone has long been a staple at the Ventura Harbor. It's a great treat to enjoy while walking around. It's also right across the street from the beach, so a quick hop to grab a sweet treat while sitting in the sun. Their menu is so fun and filled with so many different choices that you'd be hard-pressed to not find something you'd like. Their Ube Island was delicious - generous portion of Ube soft serve with Oreo crumbles. A great combination of soft ice cream with the crunchy Oreos. They can definitely get busy here, but they're like a well-oiled machine inside - very efficient with lots of different lines open. It's worth the wait.

After eating lunch and walking around the area, I needed a sweet treat to take with me going home and found this parlor. I ordered the 805 shake which consisted of strawberry ice cream and strawberries, and it was surprisingly really good. The lady taking our order was nice and took my allergies into consideration. It's a small little ice cream place and can go outside to experience the beautiful views and fresh air. I think they used thrifty ice cream

In a sunny day while taking a stroll by the pier, what a better treat than ice cream right? It is a little pricey so be prepared for that. They offer a good number of flavors. The store is always busy so be patient with the staff. But as busy as they are, they are always very friendly. Shakea, cones, and sundaes. All evt good. My favorite thing was the taiyaki (fish cone)

Nice location as it's right on the water (harbor). They can be crowded and their system feels a little forced to do it right or you get in trouble feeling. They have a large variety and also have some yummy alternatives to ice cream. Service is a lot of young kids but most of them were nice. I do recommend this place.

We've made so many visits to coastal cone when visiting Ventura Harbor Village over the years. It used to be just a plain ice cream shop. Now it's new and improved . We're only in town every so often nowadays but of course, can't resist ice cream when walking along the harbour. I don't know when the new owners took over, but the whole place now is much better than it was before. Basically the new menu just has all different kinds of Sundae options. I was much more excited to order this time around because a Sundae is special. If you want cone, they have some great cone options that make it not just a plain ice cream cone. Superb!!!!

I have been to the harbor a few times and have seen this place over the past few years but have never stopped to try it. With Top Chocolate gone and the also the Pastry shop; this really is the only sweet treat shop in the harbor now. There is always a line and you wait on the back patio for your order. I got the C4 Ubeyaki and my sister got the C2 Oreoyaki. The are one scoop of ice cream with a Yaki fish on top. The fish is made of a semi-soft waffle with warm Nutella inside. They were good. I feel that at least for the price, you are getting a fancy and delicious treat.

Death by Chocolate lived up to the name -- rich, decadent, and so sinfully good it should come with a warning label. Every bite felt like a love letter from the cocoa gods.

Cute spot near the beach for a sweet treat! Perf to get something here and walk around the shops and enjoy the nice weather/view! My cousin got an ube milkshake and a matchayaki. Both were super sweet, so definitely a sugar bomb. The matchayaki didn't really taste like matcha, as the nutella and oreo bits overpowered the taste. I still liked it, but I wouldn't wait if there was a long line. Luckily, service was fast and we got our order in about 5-7 minutes. Worth a try if you're in the area and craving dessert!

Stopped in on a drizzly Saturday and initially had the place to ourselves - Dear Hubby, our 5 year old granddaughter (with a sweet tooth), and me. As there is often a line, it was surprising to walk right up to the counter! The team member who took care of us was right on it with offering samples. They do have some sorbets / ice flavors that are non-dairy, so I was able to order something along with my companions. It would be nice to have options for vegan-style creamy flavors, like some places have, but I did enjoy the Watermelon Ice choice. Sweet Granddaughter tried a few samples and settled on Chocolate Chip. DH had the Cappuccino Chip. Both were happy with their choices. Actually, SG liked my watermelon and ate about 1/4 of it. The interior of the shop is brightly colored with a happy decorating style. The two young people working that afternoon got a rush after we had received our order, so their quiet time was over. They were friendly to all who entered. It's easy to see why this has been a staple business at the harbor for many years.

YUMMY but a little bit of a gimmick i would say. It is a dressed up, pricier thrifty ice cream scoop (rite-aid brand). It was ~$12 for a scoop of ice cream with taiyaki. The taiyaki is quite yummy and mochi-like though. I will say the service was quite good considering the amount of people that were in line. The location is also quite adorable as it is on the water. I just felt a little scammed discovering what it was. Three of us ordered the fish zookies and one of us ordered just the sundae which was essentially the same exact thing as the fish zookies without the taiyaki but same price. i added photos for observation.

Very decadent... eats more like a "meal" than a "dessert" ... so maybe skip the tacos and head straight for this ice cream shop! Keep in mind, this is definitely a splurge spot, as it was almost $30 for two items (including tip). However, If you don't mind spending a little more on a fun ice cream treat, this is your shop! So many cute, delicious options for the entire family. Lots of seating offered and nearby places to stroll.

I recently visited coastal cone while taking a mini vacation to ventura. They are an ice cream shop serving many different types of ice cream, including soft-serve and was blown away by the experience. The service was superb, with a friendly staff serving up a versatile and extensive menu of flavors, including some exotic options. I tried the ube and matcha swirl, which was absolutely divine. The combination of flavors was unique and delicious. They have so many combinations of ice creams, I love it there! I def want to try the mangonanda and few other items my next visit! I can't wait for my next visit, def a fan and will be dreaming of my next visit! Thank you coastal cone!

This place is a a trip, and way too much on the menu so prepare to take your time. The ice cream is definitely gram-able but hit that sweet tooth to the max. 4 star rating just because it seemed a bit over the top and at the end of the day it's just sugar on sugar on sugar, but the concept is great and loved the fish cones!

Fun spot. Smiling staff just waiting to take your order. Plenty of options! Stop by after a meal at the harbor.

This place is fun. Ice cream is great. They get busy and they all take care of business. Customer service could have been better today. My Dad ordered a chocolate sprinkles cone with soft served dipped in chocolate. He got a regular cone of soft served with chocolate sprinkles. The girl looked away and tried to tell my dad he ordered wrong. I heard my Dad order. He was very upset and just walked away. This is a great place but the attitude was not appreciated today.

Best ice creams , we drive 1 hour to enjoy the view and taste of these delicious ice creams. Service is very quick)

Ventura Harbor in California is beautiful and amazing all on its own. BUT when you add ice cream to the mix.... It instantly becomes even more magical of a town!! Coastal cone is really delish and it puts the cherry on top of flavorful desserts treats. They have warm, freshly made fish shaped cones, lots of fun sundae and cone builds all with very unique names and styles, making it tons extra fun and Instagram post worthy! They also have a generous size kids cone. So if you are wanting a single cone size treat, the kids scoop has that perfect amount. Soft serve ice cream.... malts and so many more choices. After you get your amazing ice cream cone you can go walk the harbor and look at all the boats and shops ORRRR you can go right across the street and you're at the beach! Do both!

My little cousin was craving ice cream, so we found this spot and decided to try it out. I got the matchayaki -- it was okay. I was hoping for a stronger matcha flavor, but it was pretty mild. On the bright side, service was quick and the staff were really friendly!

This place serves great ice cream. They offer lots of options from their menu. It is very delicious and one of a kind in Ventura. The store could use some better organization as they typically have customers walk in from the back door and that is where the line starts. It was my first time coming here so we walked into the door closest from the parking lot. We were directed by an employee to move to the other door and to walk out and enter through the other door. The employee also asked us in a demanding tone and appeared upset. We then got in line in the proper one and were once again redirected by another employee as everyone was in one place. There were people waiting on orders in that line when I think it would be better they wait in a separate line. When we ordered another employee took our order and appeared upset and annoyed. It may just have been an off day for all of them or a very long one. Overall great ice cream just not so great service.

This little shop is a sweet treat on a hot day! The ice cream is delicious and well made! Service is good but it can get chaotic in the shop! Overall would definitely go back and recommend for all ages!

Have been here a few times. Any time we come to the harbor, we get a fish zookie! It's a really fun place meaning the menu has variety. We have had different fish zookie flavors but my favorite is nutellla! They have ice cream with non dairy and gluten free options. They seemed to have this waffle cone in the shape of a fish, filled with a cream laid on top of Ice cream. P.s they also have a puppy treat if you happen to be with your dog! Service was good, pretty fast. Small place. Not much seating room inside. Most outside. But hey! perfect to see the harbor and even have a great while roaming!

I ordered the Oreo Zookie with the fish wafer on the side. It was pretty good and on the sweeter side. I might get it without whip cream next time but nonetheless it was good. I absolutely love the fish wafer and you can get this on the side. There was a line of maybe 6 people in front of us at the place on a Friday night at 6pm. The line goes by pretty fast. We waited at the register and he handed us the ice cream. We did not have to sit down and wait for a number or name to be called out. I think this is how it works here. You just wait at the register and they hand it to you.

!!! First timer here !!! The fish with Nutella was delicious ! The ice cream was fire and chocolaty . Mmmmmmm they have such a big menu to choose from and right on the water . Beautiful views . They also had a lot of people working so the line went really fast . Memorial Day weekend (Saturday 7:30pm )

Saw this business on IG and told myself I'd go...eventually. Eventually happened to be today by coincidence and it did not disappoint! With it being a small corner shop, I like the walk up to a slot way of ordering because space is super limited. There are 4 registers you can order from and a small seating area if you'd like to wait....you can also wait in the ordering spot or outside. There were so many options to chose from and ultimately , I went with the strawberry koozie as I was told that was a popular item. SO GOOD! There was tajin flavor treat I wanted to try but I saw it too late so now it gives me reason to go back! Def recommend.

Fun and creative desserts! With a fabulous view of the harbor. Perfect place to satisfy your sweet tooth craving with friends and family

First time trying this place and it did not disappoint. The ice creams were delicious and worth the little wait. And the little fish taiyaki(fish cone) makes a huge difference and makes it taste amazing. Definitely a must if u are Ventura harbor. Clean place great service and fast service and the line was pretty big but the coordination of the staff they get people in and out!!! :) Classic fudge & Oreo overload & mango sorbet.

Costal cone is one of my favorite places to get ice cream. Surprisingly, there was hardly anyone on a Friday night. I usually get the ubetaki it's always consistent! One thing that is new, our pup can now have ice cream too! I'm happy the staff allows us to bring our pup on the store even though it's only for a few minutes. The store is very vibrant and the colors are easy on the eyes. If it was busy, there is limited seating. A long bench inside and a few tables outside the store. Overall, it's worth the trip and very affordable!

Creamy smoothness of the matcha ice cream combined with the thick Nutella filling in the cone made the matchayaki overall delicious. Service was fast and efficient. Ambiance was good too even if going here late on a Friday night. Still available outdoor sitting. Will try other items on the menu

Delicious burgers and fries. Ordered a bacon cheeseburger and a bbq bacon cheeseburger with fries. Very good.

Unique look, great taste, friendly staff, reasonable prices. Not sure what more you could ask for. Hit up Coastal Cone today after tackling some escape rooms in Ventura and I'm sure glad I did. They really have something unique going with their fish cone that draws in the crowd and they bring you back with great flavor and service. I went for the Tikiyaki and it was delicious, the ice cream was bursting with tropical fruit flavor, the fruity pebbles added a little crunch and the fish cone was so good. I really enjoyed every bite and I'll definitely stop by again when I'm in Ventura.

Super fun and unique ice cream place on the water!! The best flavor hands down is the strawberry island with a Nutella fish. The employees are so kind with upbeat attitudes, even the girl who helped me who was in training was doing amazing! Great place

Cool location, the fish dough thingy was super yummy. Get an ice cream and take a stroll along the marina : )

We love Coastal Cone! The ice cream is always good and you can never go wrong with the warm delicious fish cones! They are simply the best. Service is always great. As soon as you step a foot in the door the nice employees are greeting you with a smile and warm welcome. There is plenty of space to sit down outdoors in the patio to enjoy your ice cream. Plus you get a beautiful view of the Ventura Harbor.

What a awesome way to recap a wonderful trip. There at so many selections! Depending what your in the mood for, they have it. The crispy fish things that you get are so good with the ice cream. We got a ube and a custom cup, and the price was perfect! Highly recommend to those in the area. No salt and straw ice cream but it's good for you you're paying.

Gosh, this ice cream ship is busy!! While we were at the Ventura Harbor Village, we dropped by Coastal Cone to have a snack. It is a very small shop and there is no indoor seating (if I remember correctly). We did not mind, though, because we preferred taking our treats outside to enjoy anyways. From start to finish, the wait was about 20 minutes for us that Saturday evening. There was a line at the entrance of the door. When you get to the front of the line, they call you to one of the stations to be helped by one of their friendly crew. Service was 5 stars from the young lady who assisted us. After you place your order, head outside and wait to be called. Cannot remember if they called the order by number or by my name. They are Home of the Fish Cone! So that is what my lovely bride and I ordered. A fish cone is a homemade fish shaped cone filled with ice cream. She ordered the Ubeyaki. It is a filled cone with ube ice cream, Nutella, Oreo dust, and bears. She said it was delicious! I chose to build my own fish cone. For my filling, I chose the Cream. For my ice cream flavor, I picked their Pralines & Pecan. For the crumble choice, I got the pie crust. For the crown, a fresh strawberry was what I had. Very happy with my custom creation cause it looked good and tasted even better!! Look forward to trying one of their other 40 flavors of ice cream in the future! No doubt, Coastal Cone will be a spot we always visit whenever we are at Ventura Harbor Village!! Worth the wait!

One of my fave spots to grab an ice cream treat in Ventura county! They have a wide assortment of yummy ice cream flavors, and they have those cute and fun fish cones ! Plus you can go for a walk at the scenic Ventura Harbor Village right after! I recommend :)

Cheers to Friday! I just had to share my favorite Matcha ice cream from Coastal Cone at the Ventura Harbor. Truly the best service & always a good time - they have it fully decked out for the holidays . If you're looking for some fun this weekend with friends & family, this is the perfect place to walk around and you can also grab some dinner at Brophy Brothers or Andria's Seafood. Love our Cali beaches! So grateful #TGIF #thankful #ventura #goodvibes #tistheseason #happyfriday

Fun place in the harbor area of Ventura. Love a taiyaki place. You can get the classic soft serve taiyaki (as pictured) but in cup for cleanliness and convenience. You can also get a Sunday style with a scoop of ice cream atop the filling stuffed fish breads. It's very sweet, and the ice isn't fantastic quality - but it's got a ton of fun flavors and topping options.

The ratings already speak for themselves but I thought I'd add some color around its location and ordering process. There are ice cream and soft serve options so there's something for everyone! It's located in a cute shopping center surrounded by docked boats. The others stores looked so cute and parking was super easy in a big open lot.

Hard decision were made here; it smells so good when you walk in. We got the Oreo Zookie with a slight strawberry drizzle. The taiyaki was fresh and SO GOOD. That was honestly the high light of the dish. The staff was welcoming especially for us coming in 10 minutes before closing. Lots of kids were here and they were loving their fun and creative menu!

The location is nice but it's extremely busy I'm talking 50 other people waiting for their ice cream I like the variety that they have but you can just as easily go somewhere else and be in and out also the prices are very high 1 scoop of ice cream was around 8 dollars.

Don't believe in he hype? That maybe the case for me. I come by the harbor all the time and have always wanted to try the ice cream here. I figure the long lines meant this place is amazing. Well this wasn't the case for me. I love ice cream if all kinds so I'm not picky but the sundaes and cup cones we got were not good at all. I got a sundae that had caramel and hot fudge with vanilla ice cream the major problem was that I believe they use soft serve, which could be ok, but it was completely melted when I got it. It was literally the consistency of a milk shake under the whipped cream layer. Now imagine a milk shake with all the toppings and chocolate syrups blending and mixing together to one taste. It wasn't good. It wasn't just the sundaes tho. We got a cone in a cup and it was melting over the cup when it was handed to me. Making for a messy drippy experience for the kids. The cup was like soup with a cone popping out of it. Service was ok to slow. They called us to a open register and they turned their back to service the window for 3 customers. Meanwhile people behind us got served in the next register. I mean if you weren't ready then don't call us next. Cute idea and alluring ice creations but I think they are missing the mark big time. My thought would be to focus on more quality over quantity served.

This is my favorite place to go for sweets whenever I go to Ventura Harbor! I'm rating this place for its ice cream, not its parlor offerings. I've tried a variety of flavors, including salted caramel (C6 cone, Seasaltyaki), the Hawaiian remix (C3, Tikiyaki), and my very favorite, the ubeyaki fish cone (C4), which has ube (also known as purple yam) ice cream with Oreo crumbles and Nutella. I give this place a 5 stars solely because of the C4 ubeyaki fish cone. The seasaltyaki was also delicious, but it was not as creamy and flavorful as the ubeyaki fish cone. It was a bit icy. I found the Hawaiian remix C3 cone to be a notch above mediocre, as I wasn't a fan of the koolaid-esque fruit punch flavor that was mixed with the Dole pineapple whip. If I were given the ubeyaki blindfolded, I would never be able to guess that the flavor was based on a type of yam! It was absolutely delicious and blew the other flavors I've tried out of the water. Ube is traditionally served with Filipino food, and I'm generally lukewarm on ube-flavored things. I enjoy it, but it's unlikely to be my favorite thing on the menu. The texture of this ice cream is smooth and thick, and the ube flavor is sweet and very robust. There are no hints of sourness, fruitiness, or bitterness. I would describe it as similar to vanilla with a hint of nuttiness, which produces a full flavor with some depth. The Nutella and Oreo are perfect toppings to complement the sweet creaminess of the ice cream. The Nutella sits on the inside of the cone. Yes, this place is a bit expensive, with fish cone ice cream and adult cones selling for $9.50, but what in this shopping center isn't? You're paying for the location and convenience. The wait can be a bit long (sometimes 15 minutes) but not horrible. They are very cute and Instagramable (as you can see from my picture), though don't forget to ask for napkins! For the ubeyaki, it is entirely worth it!
