Santa Barbara Ice Cream Tour

Santa Barbara is known for its stunning coastline, Mediterranean-style architecture, and farm-to-table food culture — and its ice cream scene is no exception. From classic creamery favorites to bright, fruit-forward Italian ice and playful international treats, the city’s frozen desserts reflect its sunny climate, local farms, and culinary creativity.

The AFK Santa Barbara Ice Cream Tour is a small-group walking food tour that takes you through the heart of downtown over the course of about a mile and two hours. This is a true tasting experience, featuring a sample at every stop — each carefully selected to showcase a different style, texture, and cultural influence.
