Ojai Ice Cream

This is the kind of ice cream shoppe worthy of the "shoppe" spelling. The sort of place that just wouldn't (couldn't?) exist in LA—with homemade penny fudge, a wall of bulk candy and adorably-named local flavors such as "Ojai Orange" and "Pink Moment Strawberry," named after the beautiful sunsets that grace Ojai's skies. All the signs are hand-painted, the teenage ice scream scoopers are friendly (if a little awkward), and it smells like sweet, sweet childhood. It's also surprisingly affordable (after all the frozen yogurt and vegan ice cream we shell out for in the city, that is).
