The creamery provides catering for weddings, corporate gatherings, and private events, including customized setups such as ice cream sandwich stations, sundae bars, and float carts, according to the company website.
Menu offerings include Honey Lavender, Black Pepper Pistachio, Nutella, Lemon Curd, and Milk & Cookies, along with kid-friendly options like Chocolate Monster and Strawberry Delight.
Most of Rori’s flavors are gluten-free, with gluten-free cones and cookies also available, according to its website. It also offers vegan options such as Passion Fruit and Tropical Wild Berry that are crafted with organic coconut milk.
Founded in 2011, the creamery draws inspiration from the founder’s childhood memories of homemade ice cream.
The creamery emphasizes simple, high-quality ingredients to craft distinctive flavors. It partners with local farmers and suppliers to maintain freshness and consistency, according to the company website. All ice cream is produced in small batches to preserve consistency and flavor quality.
Dairy comes from local grass-fed Jersey and Holstein cows, and fruits, herbs, and flowers are sourced from farms throughout California.

Rori’s ice cream is hands down better than McConnells. Its made in town, the other is not…. I have sampled over a dozen flavors. Each one is a hit. Their ice cream sandwiches are amazing! Monkey in the middle!
Rori’s is good, I’ll visit their new place if I’m out that way.
But, wait just a goldurn minit: “better than McConnells”? Uh-uh. McConnells is THE best ice cream on Earth and I will fight to the death over that. Put ’em up, dogtooth!
