We stopped by Boxcar Eats while exploring the area and had a good experience. The dining area was clean, easy to access, and had a good amount of seating available. The menu looked like it offered a good variety of options. It was a nice place to get out of the heat and take a short break. Overall, it is a convenient stop while exploring the area.

Great place for some ice cream, specially their Dole selection lots of flavors. I personally recommend the peach and watermelon mix. However any other are great too. Located in old town. Parking is metered unless u park in the parking garage. Usually 1 person working and plenty of indoor seating available. No outdoor seating. No restrooms either.

I had a really good experience at this ice cream shop. There are so many flavors to choose from, including some unique options you don’t usually see. The texture of the ice cream is smooth and creamy, and the portions are generous. Definitely worth a visit!

I recently visited Boxcar Eats in Old Sacramento and to be honest, I wasn’t all that impressed. The place looks fun from the outside with signs for Dole Whip and Tillamook Ice Cream, which definitely caught my eye. Inside, the decor was kind of cool with colorful chandeliers and lots of seating, but the atmosphere felt a bit empty and lacking energy—even though it was evening. The service was okay, nothing special. I tried the Dole Whip and was expecting something a little more flavorful. It was just average and didn’t really live up to the hype. Same goes for the ice cream—looked great in the picture, but taste-wise, it didn’t wow me. It’s not a terrible spot, and maybe I just went at an off time, but overall it didn’t feel like a place I’d go out of my way to visit again. It has potential, but needs a bit more warmth and quality to really shine.
