"This is a great find in Downtown Big Bear. Unfortunately their ice cream has corn syrup. My wife is allergic to it. For those that don’t bother, you’ll enjoy the place… there’s a heated patio at the back to sit down and eat…"

"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."

"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!"
