Santa Monica Is Getting A New McConnell’s Fine Ice Cream Location

Ice Cream Shop From Santa Barbara To Join The Third Street Promenade

By Dolores Quintana

McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams, an ice cream shop that is also a dairy, that has been in a business run by three generations of their family is opening a new shop at 1456 Third Street Promenade in the downtown area of Santa Monica as reported by Toddrickallen.com.

Their ice cream is described on their website as being, “Dense and pure-flavored, with smooth, consistent texture and a rich, velvety mouth feel. 70 years of craft, pushing for something greater, and, with a few, simple ingredients, ending up someplace magical.” Their philosophy is to keep things simple and the website further states that their ice creams have, “No stabilizers. No built-in a-chemistry lab emulsifiers. No preservatives. No phony flavorings, dyes, fillers or preservatives.”

The space was formerly occupied by Somi Somi and Pinkberry and is very small. According to Toddrickallen, a “now hiring” sign has gone up in the window, so it shouldn’t be long before the shop opens.
