    Such a cute spot! Filled with many treats and sweets! The line is always long but it goes by pretty fast as there are several employees assisting everyone. I couldn’t decide one just one thing so I had the roast road ice cream and chocolate covered cheesecake with peanuts and it was under$10

    We stopped by North Pole Fudge & Ice Cream Co. during our visit to Big Bear and absolutely loved it! The shop has such a charming, nostalgic vibe that makes you feel like a kid again. They have a huge selection of delicious fudge — so many flavors to choose from — and they’re generous with free samples, which really helps when you can’t decide! We also tried their ice cream, and the portions were huge for a great price. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The staff was super friendly and patient, even though it was busy when we went. It’s the perfect spot to grab a sweet treat while exploring Big Bear Village. We’ll definitely be back next time! Highly recommend for families, kids, or anyone with a sweet tooth.Prices are competitively cheaper than any tourist destination.

    We visited here after seeing so many good reviews on Instagram. We ordered the coffee and coconut ice creams both were really nice, but the waffle cone felt too hard and a bit thicker. What disappointed us was the service there was a Mexican girl at the counter who behaved strangely. She didn’t smile or pay attention, and we had to call out to her to place our order, even though there were no other customers at that time. It felt like she was ignoring us. Overall, the ice cream itself was good, but the service didn’t meet our expectations.

    This place is dangerous if you come in here when you’re hungry! When you first walk in it’s a wave of overwhelming, wonderful, sweet luscious candy and chocolate aroma’s. There are so many heavenly delights it’s difficult to choose and as my mouth was watering, I decided on a quarter pound of the Snickers fudge, the cashew peanut brittle and of course I had to get my all-time favorite which is the toffee nut coated caramel apple! Every single one did not disappoint. The Snickers fudge tasted exactly like a Snickers bar only better and the caramel apple had a nice thick coating of caramel and toffee! They have a huge selection of wonderful, unique flavors and then a large section of ice cream in the back. What a wonderful experience! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Yum Yum!

    Went to Big bear for the weekend and been seeing long lines at this ice cream shop. Fell in line anyway coz we were killing time. Inside they also have caramel apples, chocolates, fudge. Imagine my surprise when I saw the menu with Dreyers written on it. We fell in line for that?? Thought it was locally made ice cream. So they have Dreyers, Tillamook and 2 other ones I'm not familiar with. Would be nice to put a sign outside saying : we serve so and so brands. You can get Dreyers and Tillamook anywhere and had I known, we will now waste our time and just go to the village sweet treats for gelato. Got the caramel apple, it was good

    Tons of delicious and original fudge flavors. Wouldn’t recommend for ice cream (standard selection) but fun throwback candy. Friendly staff! Thanks for a great experience on our vacation.
