Splash Café, located in Pismo Beach, is a beloved beachside eatery known for its delectable offerings. The star of the show is their renowned clam chowder, lauded for its creamy texture and generous portions of clams and potatoes.
I’ve been coming here for years, and they have hands down the best clam chowder in the area. I’ve tried other things on the menu, but the chowder is what keeps me coming back—always creamy, flavorful, and consistent. Definitely my go-to spot when I’m craving a comforting bowl. Best in the area, no question. Chef’s kiss! Pictured is the fully loaded chowder and their fish in chips .

Yes it gets very crowded on wknds & holidays. Yes there's a wait to order, and again for your order to be ready. But all of it really isn't that bad... because this is the absolute best clam chowder on the West Coast - and anything west of the Mississippi. (For anything east of the Mighty Miss, you have to go to Massachusetts or Delaware!) Been here twice (Apr2025(2) & July2025 (5 of us)), line out the door & around the corner but it moved quickly and our order was taken 15 minutes later in both visits. The chowders,, calamari, and fish & chips arrived 15-20 minutes later and by then we already had a choice among 3 tables or counter seats opening up! Get the chowder loaded or not; scoop it up w/sourdough or not... any which way, it's way way beyond any chowder you'll ever have (except for a few very comparable venues on the East Coast). Fish & Chips were also exceptional! FYI - there are many along the Central CA Coast who also serve clam chowder... after sampling nearly 3 others hoping to find similar top-notch chowder, no one comes close to Splash!

Located near the pier in Pismo Beach. The clam chowder did have many clams, seems there were more porato chunks than clams. There was line to get in, so I was expecting amazing clam chowder, so I was disappointed to find it to be mediocre at best. The seafood salad was huge with lots of shrimp and crabmeat(surimi?). The staff are very efficient and got people their food quickly, so the line does move quickly. I was there on a Saturday in October and the place was packed, making it hard to find an open table. I can't imagine what it's like in July!

First time here, super yummy loaded chowder and discounted on Thursday! Love that they toast the center that gets cored out of the bread bowl. Friendly and quick service! Took a second to find seating but most people eat and leave quickly. Will definitely come back!

We finally made the stop at Splash Cafe in Pismo Beach and there was no question what we were ordering. We came for the clam chowder and it totally lived up to the hype. It was rich and creamy with the perfect thickness that made every bite feel hearty and satisfying. The flavor was spot on too with a great balance of cream, herbs, and just enough clam without being too overpowering. We did not get it in the bread bowl this time, just a regular cup with a side of their bread, but that was more than enough to hit the spot. The bread had a soft inside with a slight crust on the outside and dunking it into the chowder was just so good. Every dip soaked up the chowder perfectly and gave it a satisfying bite that kept us going back for more. My wife and I finished it quickly and looked at each other like yep, that was worth it. The place itself has a fun beachy vibe with surf-themed decor and a laid back energy. It gets a bit crowded but the line moved pretty fast and the staff kept things moving. Definitely worth stopping in if you are in Pismo. Next time we are getting the fully loaded bread bowl for sure.

Splash Café absolutely lives up to the hype. I ordered the Fish Combo with calamari and cod, along with their famous clam chowder in a bread bowl, and everything was exceptional. The calamari was perfectly fried, tender, and seasoned just right. The cod was flaky inside with a crisp, golden coating that wasn’t greasy at all. The fries were fresh and everything came out hot. The clam chowder deserves its reputation. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, and the bread bowl was toasted perfectly with that buttery, crispy top. Easily one of the best chowders I’ve had on the Central Coast. Service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and the atmosphere is exactly what you want from a beach town staple. If you’re anywhere near Pismo Beach, Splash Café is a must. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Dude. The best clam chowder bread bowl I've had. Hands down. It's an award winning clamp chowder 18 years running. This is a must here. The lobster roll was also legit. It's a cold roll with mayo and celery. So damn good. I can eat that every day. I have to come back to try the fish and chips. It was worth the 3 hour drive from LA.

Bakery
Old West Cinnamon Rolls is a charming vintage bakery located in Pismo Beach, California. This upbeat cafe offers an array of sweet treats, including their famous handmade cinnamon rolls. The bakery's history dates back over 40 years when the original recipe was created by Betty Clemens. These delectable cinnamon rolls are made fresh daily using the same time-honored recipe.
We stopped here for breakfast and tried the iced cinnamon roll and the maple bacon cinnamon roll, along with some iced coffee. The rolls were absolutely delicious—rich, hearty, and full of flavor. The coffee was perfectly refreshing, too. The real proof? My picky eaters devoured everything in minutes! If the kids inhale it without hesitation, you know it’s good. We’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in the area!

We highly recommend this famous homemade cinnamon roll shop. It is a delicious pastry that you should not and cannot miss while in Pismo Beach or the surrounding area. This cinnamon roll shop is only two minutes away from Pismo Beach by car. The cinnamon rolls are handmade and baked fresh daily using Betty’s original recipe. All the flavors we have tried were wonderful so it is tough to pick a favorite. The pecan cinnamon with frosting is one of our favorites. It is very satisfying with plenty of nuts. The frosting on the top gives it a rich and uniquely sweet flavor. This cinnamon roll is a perfect dessert after we have In-N-Out burgers. It is not only a great dessert, it is also the best cinnamon roll I've ever had.

Located right by the beach, on Dolliver St. near Pismo Ave, across the street from the city's public parking lot. There is street parking, but can be difficult to find an available spot. I walked here since our hotel was at a walking distance. This was the perfect spot to stop by after lunch. Its name says it all, Cinnamon Rolls galore! Topping choices of 'cream cheese, pecans, walnuts, almonds, maple bacon, frosting with cherries, carrot cake, or simply original'. They also serve 'coffee, tea, hot chocolate, frozen lemonade, soda, milk, juice, and espresso drinks'. Prices are reasonable. I tried their 'Pecan and Frosting with Cherries' because I couldn't make up my mind. Warm and lightly toasted yet so soft inside. They were both delicious but the Cherries one was my favorite, Service was fast and efficient, there was a long line, however the cashiers moved the line fast. Some tables outside if you want to eat there. I walked to the pier plaza and sat on a bench to enjoy my cinnamon rolls. Overall, I had a good experience here and definitely recommend.
Betty H — Google review
Old West Cinnamon Rolls is such a charming little spot in Pismo. The staff were incredibly sweet and very kind as they helped us choose a roll. You can tell they care about making sure people enjoy their visit. We went with a classic cinnamon roll with icing, and the flavor of the cinnamon was rich and satisfying. The roll itself was soft and fluffy, and the icing was definitely the best part. It was creamy, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet to bring it all together. That said, my wife and I kind of shot ourselves in the foot. We got our cinnamon roll cold and we’re not sure if that is how they normally serve it or if we were supposed to ask for it to be heated. We ended up warming it up when we got home about four hours later. It still tasted good, but we could tell it was not the fresh experience we had read about. Even with that, we would absolutely recommend this place. The quality is clear and next time we will definitely make sure to enjoy it warm and fresh. It is a solid stop for anyone visiting the area.

Absolutely delicious rolls, worth the 10min wait in line. Soooo good. Make sure to ask for utensils during the order. Buns come out quickly, coffee, even a drip, takes a while. Only two small tables and a bench outside, which fill up quickly. Don't plan to eat here if you can help it. Take it to go!

I have to say that I am not big on cinnamon rolls but I thought they were good. But not like omg I have to visit here if I am in Pismo Beach. Lemonade was overly sweet.... But I guess it has to be... Otherwise you can't taste it after eating the cinnamon rolls. It's a very charming place though. You can watch them make it and they sell a bunch of related stuff like cinnamon and frozen cinnamon rolls and hello Kitty toys and other plushies. There are a few tables outside on the sidewalk and bathroom inside. The mural outside is very pretty and it's fun to take pictures while waiting for the food.

You can share one, but you won't want to. These delectable rolls are great for picnics, going on the road, beach bonfires and camping, or just good ol' self care. My husband was on a road trip and brought a huge box home. It took three people a good three days to plow through them. I must say ordering too many is not a real thing because when you get a hankering for another, it'll most likely be there.
J. P — Google review
Ok, it was a bummer that we had to wait in line a long time, like almost 30 minutes- but that was because of the massive amount of rolls people ahead of us ordered, in addition to their coffee orders. So I get it. When we finally ordered it was very quick to get our rolls. It's a Pismo staple and a tourist destination, but above all, really tasty. And it's fun to watch them prepare them as you wait in line. And the smell of cinnamon rolls baking- there are worse places you can spend your time. We got ours to go and walked to the pier. Great place!

Seafood restaurant
Crab house
Cracked Crab is a charming eatery located near the boardwalk in Pismo Beach, offering a delightful dining experience with a seascape mural. The restaurant prides itself on serving fresh and often local seafood, including crack-your-own shellfish. It's known for its commitment to providing excellent food, amazing service, and a fun atmosphere. The menu features various crab dishes as well as family-size options like soups, salads, sandwiches, and tacos at affordable prices.
After a lovely day at the beach, we searched for the top seafood restaurants in the Pismo area and were delighted to find this exceptional restaurant. Although the restaurant was packed, leading to a wait of roughly half an hour, our server Brandy's exceptional service made the experience worthwhile. Her attentiveness, knowledge, and dedication to ensuring our needs were met exceeded our expectations, making us look forward to returning to this outstanding restaurant whenever we visit Pismo. We ordered calamari for appetizers; it was alright. Then we ordered a Big Bucket for two for our main course and shared it among our family of three; it was sufficient and good. I suggested that they offer jasmine rice, though.

This place was fantastic! Great service, very clean, and top notch food. We visit pismo often but have never tried the Cracked Crab. Safe to say we will be back every time we visit! Brandy was our server, she was very gracious and polite. She made our experience very comfortable, especially with a us having a young child, it can be rare to feel welcomed. I got the King crab dinner, 10/10, crab was cooked perfectly and it was the perfect serving for the price. My husband got the shrimp pasta and he said it was also a great choice. If you are in Pismo skip Ada’s and spend the extra buck at Cracked Crab!

First time visiting and the food was amazing!! So many choices but with my server, Tabitha’s help, I ordered the clam chowder, steamed clams and Alaskan Bairdi Crab dinner. The food was excellent, but the clams were to die for!! Served in a white wine cream sauce with a perfect kick of cracked pepper! So perfect to dip the delicious sourdough rolls and even enhanced the crab meat which was delicious in its own right. Couldn’t get enough of it! Generous servings too! Can’t wait to come back and try some of the other offerings. Highly recommend, but be aware, the place is small so they don’t accept reservations and there is always a line. Fortunately for me, the line on a Tuesday evening (around 5 pm) was not long. Thank you Tabitha and everyone at the Cracked Crab!!
Christina F — Google review
We tried the crab and seafood, starting with the crab bisque and the seafood bucket for two, which included dungeness crab, shrimp, corn, hot links, and potatoes. While the bisque had good flavor, it was quite watery and could have benefited from a thicker consistency. The seafood bucket was plenty for both of us, but we found the taste to be quite plain, primarily seasoned with Old Bay. We compared it to places like Kickin' Kasian and other Asian Creole crab houses, which is why we felt a bit underwhelmed by the flavor. On a positive note, the service was very pleasant; our server was attentive, and the atmosphere was lively. The music featured a nice mix of laid-back songs from the past, including tracks from The Beach Boys.

We were lucky it wasn't the weekend, because we got a parking spot right out front and there wasn't much of a wait for seating at dinner. I had the bairdi crab and my husband had the chicken (he is NOT a seafood fan). My food was excellent, and my husband said the chicken was very good, and much better than expected since this is a seafood restaurant. The waitress was excellent and really fun, she put my bib on when she brought me the crab-eating tools. The crab was firm and moist but not waterlogged at all. The shells snapped and the meat pulled out cleanly so it was really easy to eat, and I didn't need anything but the cracker to get to every scrap of meat. I heard people around us talking, and someone commented that their steaks were very good, so they must have chefs that know more than just seafood. So just GO!

thought we would try out BBQ, I ordered sampler plate with ribs, chicken, pulled pork, cole slaw and baked beans. husband had Tri tip sandwich and potato salad. tri tip was dry and tough. All the meat on my plate was cold and over cooked, no flavor. Cole slaw was good and onion rings were good. I would not recommend this place. should have checked reviews before we went there. Employees were nice.

Yeah, this place wasn't good at all. Smelled good, however that didn't translate to the taste. I ordered a Tri-Tip sandwich thinking maybe it would be tender with slathering of sauce. Definitely not the spirit, the meat was as dry as the Mojave desert!!! I will say, I enjoyed the coleslaw. My advice is ask for extra sauce on the side, not sure if would recommend, our food was not pleasant...

Came here in 2021 with my family and remember the food being very excellent. We recently came back two months ago due to nostalgia and Craving the food again, When we had walked in and were looking through the menu we were asking how big the portions were for the sides(small btw) There was two women at the front who were obviously having a bad day because as we were asking they kept looking at each other and giving us attitude. as for the food the meat was super bland and dry the coslaw/ bbq sauce tasted like it was mixed with water and the seating was very tight as in we had to kindly ask a couple next to us if they could get up so we could squeeze through to leave. overall experience alright at first but all those inconveniences added up to a bad experience.

The BBQ here is delicious! We had the full rack combo and a basket of garlic fries. The combo had 3 flavors of ribs, corn bread muffin, potato salad, baked beans and coleslaw. The ribs were juicy and delicious, it was nice to try the different flavors, all were very good. The baked beans and cornbread muffin with honey butter were a perfect complement to the ribs, as well as the garlic fries which were crispy and tasty. The fries basket was also huge - we had to take half of home it was so much. Highly recommend this place!

Mo’s Smokehouse BBQ is hands down one of the best BBQ spots I’ve ever been to! Located right in the heart of Pismo Beach, this place knows how to deliver unforgettable flavors. The pork baby back ribs are absolutely phenomenal—perfectly tender, smoky, and fall-off-the-bone delicious. You can tell they’ve mastered the art of BBQ. The Tri-tip sandwich is equally amazing, packed with juicy, flavorful meat and served on a soft, fresh bun. It’s the kind of sandwich that leaves you craving more with every bite. Don’t skip the garlic fries—they’re the perfect crispy, garlicky sidekick to round out your meal. Everything on the menu feels like it’s made with care and a true passion for BBQ. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. If you’re in Pismo Beach and love BBQ, Mo’s is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This place will knock your socks off! The chef Jared has outdone himself with the presentation as well as the texture:flavor:proportions. We have already decided to come back and stay next time in Pismo Beach just to eat here again for my birthday. Wow!

Celebrating Our 10th Anniversary with an Unforgettable Dinner Yesterday, September 5, 2025, my husband and I decided to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary at this restaurant. First of all, I want to say that the service was exceptional. Our waiter, sorry I can’t recall his name, was incredibly kind. He was probably in his forties and mentioned that his wife was half Chilena. He truly elevated our experience to another level. We were traveling along the Pacific Way toward San Francisco and spent the night in Pismo Beach to see the dunes. We chose this restaurant and had a wonderful evening. We started with oysters, and our waiter impressed us with his knowledge about the different varieties, their origins, flavors, "colors" and his recommendations. We ate them all raw and loved them. I ordered ceviche and later another raw dish, while my husband ordered three rounds of oysters from different places, all recommended by our waiter. We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails: I had a cherry cocktail, and my husband had his favorite Cocktail "special unknown" ask for it if you know?. When we mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary, the waiter brought us a small treat, complimentary. We ended up staying for more than two hours, right by the beach, enjoying the evening, the view, the people, and the amazing service. Great food, great company, and a memorable conversation. This is an excellent place, don’t miss the chance to come here, order an appetizer, enjoy a couple of cocktails or wines, and savor their raw dishes. We also tried the tuna tower, which was just as delicious as everything else.

Beautiful ocean views and a nautical decor begin your experience in this wonderful establishment. The host staff is friendly, and the waitstaff is very professional and knowledgeable. They offer a nice variety of wines, in my opinion, a bit overpriced with Mark ups varying 40 to 100 percent. The cuisine was quite nice. We started with Manhattan chowder, which was loaded with clams. Then, an assortment of appetizers and small plates which included grilled octopus and baby vegetables, braized short ribs with kimchi rice, scallop crudo, ceviche and five different types of oysters. My personal favorites were the octopus, which was tender, flavorful, and well-balanced, and the oysters. I thought the scallop crudo was good but lacking a touch of acid to needed to balance out the sweetness of the meat with the spicy and herb infused oils. Overall, a wonderful experience was had by all.

One can come just to chill and meditate on a solitude with the beautiful ocean view and waves crashing that makes you feel so profoundly relaxed, almost a spiritual experience. Another can come and enjoy watching the surfers surfing. If you are into fishing, you can also do that, or if you’re like me, I like to people watch and enjoy watching everyone that walks by, including watching those people fishing! I have also just simply walked by the sand along the beach and it was just as much fun and enjoyable! The only thing that might be a bit challenging I would imagine is the parking. I never had the problem because I was staying at the nearby Vespera Hotel but seeing that there was a parking lot but with limited space, I would think there’s a little bit of a challenge in parking specially on busy days like weekends and holidays. But I think it’s still all be worth your while.

Pismo Beach Pier is one of the beautiful piers along Highway 1. They built so many new restaurants and cafes along the pier which provides a lot of options to visitors. We walked all the way to the end of the pier and back, it's very relaxing. Depending on the weather, the wind can be really strong so be careful with your hats or scarves. Sunsets here are the best but we also loved coming by after having lunch. Definetely a must-stop if you are alreayd on the 101.

Wooly's is a waterfront eatery located at the base of the Pismo Pier, offering a breezy vibe and a kid-friendly menu featuring American classics. The restaurant provides dockside dining with a pet-friendly patio and serves up Pismo Beach favorites such as clam chowder, fish and chips, steamed clams, and thick half-pound Angus burgers.
You'll be able to watch surfers and the waves from this restaurant and bar located right on the wharf overlooking the ocean. They had a variety of beers on tap and really good clam chowder in a bread bowl and your dogs can join you on the deck. I highly recommend trying it out.

I used the reviews to find this place. Visiting the area and wanted to be by the water. This had great food at a reasonable price with views of the water and the best sunset! Try the fish N Chips or fish tacos and have enough left for a drink from the bar for the sunset. Looking forward to coming back.

Wooly’s was recommended on my way down to Southern Cali and the views did not disappoint. The view from the patio is gorgeous , ocean waves and surfers doing their thing. I even saw some dolphins and whales spouts from my table. I ordered a Paloma with casa amigos tequila and it was strong in a good way :) it don’t need pineapple though, Grapefruit is just fine. The fish tacos were filling, however, coming from a true Mexican the tortillas could have been warmed up a little more so that it wouldn’t be so soft. The description of the tacos is deceiving though because I couldn’t find mango or lemon flavor in there at all. Service was excellent, I was greeted and guided by a polite young lady on what to do when I was ready to order. You order at the counter, self seat, and wait for the buzzer to buzz. I took one star off because they don’t wipe down the tables after a guest is done eating. I was grossed out that there was pieces of somebody else’s food on most tables including the one I decided to sit at. The plates are left on the table until a staff member gets to picking it up, meanwhile numerous pigeons are desperately picking at what they can, their little legs on table and everything. This practice is very unsanitary . I understand birds are everywhere but the tables should be wiped down since pigeons are known for carrying diseases. I don’t enjoy sharing a table with pigeon microbes. Hopefully they start sanitizing their tables after each guest!

A great location right next to the water. We got lucky enough to sit outdoors right before the Sunset so it was great. The food tasted fresh, and tried a little bit of everything. The fish n chips were my favorite, but a few other items we tried were the calamari strips n chips, cesaer salad and cheese curds. Food is a little overpriced but can't beat that view.

Visit to Pismo Beach wanted to grab a bite to eat. Nice atmosphere, outdoor seating, good food and drinks. Would definitely visit again. Upon arrival you order food then grab a seat while you wait for your pager to go off and pick up food from service window. Quick service. Drinks ordered from bar.

Wooly's is a nice restaurant right by the Pismo Pier with a view of the beach. Overall, it is pretty clean and spacious inside. I wish there were some sort of pasta options or a better seafood selection but overall my steamed clams and bowl of clam chowder were pretty solid. I enjoyed the clam chowders and would definitely go back to get just that. The steamed clams were alright but took forever to take out of the shells and were hard to have with the white wine sauce. The staff was outgoing and provided top tier service.
Napoleon N — Google review
Incredible food and drinks! We had the Baja fish tacos, steamed clams, clam chowder skillet fries, clam chowder, and Bloody Marias. Wanted to cry it was so good. Wanted to drink the clam juice with a straw. And put my face directly into the skillet fries. And what a beautiful view! Also, gentleman working outside on the patio was super kind (didn’t get his name) and deserves praise! What a sweet guy.

Stopped in for a Sunday brunch. Bloody mary had great flavor with just enough spice. Everything we had was good portions and good flavor. Would love to come back for happy hour.

I really loved this restaurant. The food was amazing. I had to wait a little while to be seeded, but it was totally worth it. If there is a wait, then wait. It's so worth it! The fish tacos and burgers were awesome and the special tater tots were amazing! They also have a pretty good beer selection. Now let's talk about the service. The staff was so incredibly friendly and helpful. From the time that we sat down to the time we left it was a great experience. If you are in the area, I highly recommend this restaurant. I really loved it.

Amazing find! We split The Ranchero (L, salad), and the Crispy Shrimp. Delicious! The crispy shrimp were a bit on the oily side, but other than that everything was great. Service was good too!

We stopped by while we were in Pismo. Don't remember the waiter's name (maybe Dion?) but he was a lovely, charming fellow, very funny, attentive and great at his job. The weather was beautiful so we elected to sit outside. The food was AMAZING! I had the fish n chips. My daughter had the Vegetarian burger. Nice portions. Nothing fake or frozen about it. Seriously delicious food. Great atmosphere. Great price. We highly recommend!

Hands down, the best place to eat in Pismo Beach. We picked up takeout yesterday (an assortment of salads for our group of 6) and everything was so delicious, we came back today to enjoy them again. The lemony/herby smoked salmon salad is delightful. They smoke the salmon in house and it's some of the best we've ever tasted. Hats off to the chef for such great food (I especially loved the liberal use of fresh herbs). We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

As soon as we walked in we were greeted with friendly staff. We accidentally spilled our cup of water and they wasted no time helping us clean it up. The food was reasonably priced and came quickly. We ordered the chicken breast sandwich, chicken avocado sandwich, fish and chips, and the BBQ chicken, it was all delicious. Definitely recommend this place.

Located a 5 minute walk from Pismo Beach Pier. This famous restaurant serves great fish and chips as well delicious barbecue dishes. I highly recommend their baby back ribs, which comes with sour dough bread, beans and rice. Absolutely loved their tri-tip steak, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Spacious indoor seating and clean restrooms.

I'd give it more stars if I could. My waiter Joseph was kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. The clam Chowder was the best I've ever had. What's your secret?? I'm only in town till the day after tomorrow, so I may have to stop for lunch on my way out.

Visited here on a Monday night. Got seated quickly and were ready to order but took a while for our server to appear and he was not engaging at all. Good choice of items on the menu and we ordered the Baby back ribs and the Ahi Tuna. Both were good but the Tuna was a little under-cooked for my personal preference. Had Firestone 805 ales with it. The experience was OK but the service was slow and the server hardly opened his mouth so could have been better.

We arrived at peak dinner time yet were able to be seated quickly. It took a bit for a server to arrive but once our order was placed the food came out quickly and our server was very attentive. BBQ chicken and the salmon dinner were both really good. Clam chowder was one of the best I’ve had in a while. Definitely recommend stopping by if in the area. We also ordered the calamari as an appetizer, it was tender and delicious.

We recently ate brunch here for the first time, and have had dinner a few times. The food and service have always been pretty top notch. The bar is pretty nice, and has a mellow atmosphere to it. Plus they make decent cocktails. They do have tables with a great view of the beach, and seem to handle large groups well. They're pricey, but the food quality is there, and when you see the presentation of the food, it all folds together. Place is clean, employees are friendly and attentive. The brunch was fantastic!

Outstanding meal at Vista! The entire experience was memorable from the windowside seat, appetizer, dinner, drinks, dessert, seeing dolphins swim in the ocean and lovely sunset. Marga was on point as our server making sure we were happy and served in a timely manner. Our appetizer was calamari, dinners Pork chops, Sand Dabs, and salmon. The desserts were peach cobbler, Chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream.
