Lappert's Super Premium Ice Cream – Temecula

Lappert's Super Premium Ice Cream - Temecula is an ice cream shop in Temecula, CA. The shop is one of three Southern California scoop shops operated by the Lappert's brand, alongside locations in Palm Springs and Palm Desert. It serves the local Temecula community and surrounding area with a full menu of scoops, shakes, sundaes, Dole soft serve, Dole floats, shave ice, smoothies, and acai bowls, and it is noted for what the company describes as the Valley's number one Date Shake. The shop carries the brand's rotating lineup of 32 daily flavors drawn from a roster of 125 total, including signature island-inspired options such as Kauai Pie, Caramel Coconut Macadamia Nut, Banana Cream Pie, Kona Coffee, Kona Mocha Chip, and Blueberry Cheesecake.

The Lappert's brand traces back to 1983, when Walter Lappert, along with his wife Mary and son Michael, developed the plan around the family table and at a small shop in Sausalito, California, with the goal of making and selling ice cream in Kauai. The original factory still stands in Hanapepe, Kauai, and a California manufacturing facility opened the following year in 1984, allowing the brand to distribute more broadly. Today the company is led by Walter's son Michael Lappert, who carries forward the founding commitment to small-batch production and premium ingredients. All of the ice cream is cranked out in small, careful batches rather than mass-produced, and the flavors are born in Kauai and inspired by tastes from around the world, blending premium ingredients with tropical creativity.

The Temecula shop sits on 3rd Street in Temecula, and customers can find it open Sunday through Thursday from 11:00am to 9:30pm and Friday and Saturday from 11:00am to 10:00pm. The location in Temecula is part of a brand that has been recognized multiple times as Best in the Desert by local readers and critics.

With its roots in a family recipe developed more than forty years ago, a Kauai-born flavor lineup, and a small-batch approach that runs through every scoop, Lappert's Super Premium Ice Cream - Temecula brings a distinctive island-inspired ice cream tradition to Inland Empire dessert lovers.
