A 45 Year Tradition of Quality

Stmission McConnell's Fine Ice Creams was founded in Santa Barbara, CA, in 1949 by Mr. Gordon F. McConnell right here on the corners of State and Mission streets. McConnell, a decorated WWII pilot, developed his now famous ice cream recipes and production methods as a healthful way to speed his recovery from injuries he suffered during the war.

DairyMcConnell created recipes which called for nothing but the most select ingredients available. McConnell's ice cream (then just the corner store) was purchased in 1963 by Mr. Jim McCoy (seen here on opening day!). McCoy has since enjoyed tremendous success with his culinary adventure. You can now discover McConnell's in literally hundreds of markets, select restaurants and ice cream shops across the country in pint containers, 3-gallon bulk, as well as private label products.

What Makes McConnell's So Special

When choosing our raw ingredients; from our local fresh cream to our bourbon vanilla beans, Guittard chocolates, Hawaiian macadamia nuts, Pacific Northwest fruit and blended coffees from Columbia; price is not a significant factor. McConnell's uses only the most select ingredients for all grades of our ice creams. And McConnell's pledges that no artificial ingredients or stabilizers are used, whatsoever, in our products.

StiltsIt's no insult that our trademark Super Premium ice cream is called "The densest in town!" A 3-gallon tub weighs 24 pounds (A comparable competitor's brand can weigh as little as 13 lbs.). The relative density of ice cream is described in terms of "overrun", which is a percent measurement of air that enters ice cream during the manufacturing process.

We hold McConnell's Super Premium ice creams to only 15% overrun making them the creamiest available.

DishIf a lighter brand is what you prefer for your store or restaurant, then McConnell's uses the same hand picked ingredients and expertise to produce our select Santa Barbara Ice Cream line. Our Super Premium, Santa Barbara and Fruit Sorbet products are available in an exciting flavor spectrum.
