The story
From the owner
Coastal Cone & Parlor has been a fixture on the Ventura waterfront since 1983, baking fresh waffle cones each morning right on the beach.
Their ice cream counter features over 40 flavors—among the largest selections on the West Coast—served in house-made waffle cones or soft serve. If you're after more than ice cream, The Parlor side offers burgers, malts, milkshakes, sundaes, and specialty items like taiyaki fish waffles and banana splits. It's a genuinely family-friendly spot where staff members often have their own childhood memories of eating here, and that history shows in how they run the place.
