"Absolutely charming little lunch and ice cream counter. We had the cherry almond and the lavender honeycomb ice cream and a delicious and crispy grilled cheese with house made mustard pickles and can’t wait to be back in Santa Rosa to have another weekend treat here! Staff was very friendly and the space was clean and tidy even on a busy weekend afternoon. Highly recommended and the decor is super cute too!"

"The honey rose cardamom ice cream was amazing! Never thought of that as a combination I would enjoy but the taste test was intrigueing so I got a bigger scoop. Every bite was great and in the atmosphere with top tier service! Wow, great place to come after dinner in downtown! Thanks Nimble & Finns ! Will come back."

"Absolutely perfect spot. It gives hidden gem vibes. Not too crowded. I ordered two scoops of ice cream and a hot coffee. The people who work here are so friendly. The flavors I got were whiskey butterscotch and PB&J — both were so good."

"Passionfruit caramel, bourbon plum, matcha blueberry, POG sorbet, sweet cream, whiskey butterscotch, lavender honeycomb… just a few of the flavors in the case yesterday! My first Nimble and Finn’s experience was at their Guerneville Bank Club location. It’s a must stop every time I’m staying at my favorite place (Boon Hotel, in Guerneville). This location is so fancy and fun! They offer sandwiches, cocktails, happy hour menu… I follow N&F on Instagram so I can be tortured by the amazing flavors. Everything is delicious and it makes it impossible to choose. After a day of wine tasting and eating tacos we drove 15 mins to this location for the perfect end to the day. If you love decadence, upgrade your ice cream to a brown butter waffle cone for $2 or for $3 make it a sundae with topping of your choice, hot fudge or butterscotch, and housemade whipped cream. My only regret is not bringing a cooler to bring home pints of ice cream back to San Francisco!"

"Nice ice cream shop at the historic railroad square. The shop decor is very cozy and staff are friendly. They offer one scoop split to double option. So I got half passion fruit and half black sesame and both were yummy! Not too heavy or overly sweet but still tasty. Especially the sesame one cuz it’s more unique. They also have a nice bar and some other food like pies and ice cream sandwiches."

"Nimble & Finn’s is such a beautiful ice cream shop! It’s beautifully decorated, and the ice cream is absolutely delicious. They have so many great flavor options—Cafe Cubano and Strawberry Fields were definitely two of my favorites. I’ll definitely have to come back and try more before heading home!"

"An ice cream shop I will dream of going to since there is not one by me, it's too good!! I stumbled upon Nimble & Finn's as my mom & I were exploring the old railroad square in Santa Rosa. When I walked in, I loved the vibe!! The decor is so beautiful, felt high end but old timey at the same time. They had such fun flavors like raspberry rose meringue and honey apricot jam, I wish I sampled more flavors than the one I got but I knew that would make my decision harder. I ended up going w the lavender honey comb and it was absolutely delicious! Perfect lavender flavor and so many chunks of honey comb! Service was super fast and nice, granted we were the only ones ordering but it was still pleasant. The scoops were a good decent size! On the larger end! They also have a fridge full of chocolate covered cheesecake and premade cookie dough that I can't stop thinking about. You have to check this place out!"
