50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Colma

“This place is the bomb! They still have table service. Is very rare in many places that are dessert places. The menu is very extensive and it is electronics that they give you a tablet that you can swipe through. There are very many pages with different themes like all mango deserts, etc. food is brought out in disposable containers. Not expensive. Very healthy for desserts. Not too much sugar. Sometimes the crowd gets a little loud, but mostly we found it peaceful and nice atmosphere.“

“Best gelato in San Francisco.“

“Honestly this was insanely good. I tried a bunch of flavours and ultimately landed on spicy mango coconut (vegan!! But not a sorbet!!) and honey lavender. It was delightful. Highlight of my day. The small is 2 scoops and up to 2 flavours which is really generous.The banana flavour was also fantastic.This location is steps from Mission-Delores. Absolute gem!Vegetarian options: Also vegan flavours !!“

“I had a wonderful experience at the Garden Creamery, with Wanchi & Yisel who were working that day. They both were incredibly kind and kept the line moving quickly. The ice cream was also delicious and I'll make sure to come by again.“

“It’s delicious and great service, my son asked to visit the place for his bday and it was closed, when i told them we did the drive from Lathrop for him they did something special for him and they really made his Day. That was really nice of them. Thank you!“

“Historically best ice cream in SF!“

“Found this place randomly when we were in the area - Tom is so wonderful and kind. Very sweet and friendly, which definitely makes the experience even better. The ice cream is great and reasonably priced for the gigantic amount he gives. Would highly recommend coming here and seeing Tom.“

“fabulous! please open another in the San Jose area. great service..the way they encourage you to taste while waiting in line...loved the various, different flavors“

“I've been coming here since I was little and it's the most satisfying and nostalgic dessert that describes my youth. My family and I don't live in the area so the whole purpose of this drive was for these crepes themselves. I LOVE the espresso coffee ice cream, been getting it for all these years and it never fails me. I also love how fluffy the whip cream is and the crepe itself is always so soft and light. And of course the adorable designs on these crepes, always brightens my day. Service is quick, the area is very bright and family oriented. I will always come back to this place as it was my first and always my favorite crepes!!!“

“Keeping my childhood traditions alive by introducing my niece to the best ice cream in town! She’s usually picky but she was swept away by the atmosphere, was ecstatic to hold the ticket, and even dared herself to try the coconut, mango, and Mexican chocolate ice cream once we got to the counter. Avocado was on the list but they had just run out. Maybe next time but overall a success in creating a new Mitchell’s monster :)“

“Good quality of ice cream (Mitchell's is the best. ) and good selection of flavors. The owner was sweet to my dog, who was whining outside while she waited. It's tucked away so you can get away from the crowd in Ghirardelli Square and relax a bit.“

“Angie’s is amazing — probably the best thin crust pizza in the city! Wood fired with organic dough is the way. My girlfriend and I have tried almost all the pies on the menu and every one is great. The date + margarita with pesto drizzle are so good. Simple yet delicious apps including mixed greens salad and meatballs are also delicious.“

“Yummiest ice cream around. Love to see what cool flavors they have rotating. Can’t go wrong with classic vanilla or the non dairy chocolate sorbet ?Also don’t sleep on their baked goods! Softest cookies. Rice Krispies are also really good. They make their own waffle cones so always smells amazing! ❤️“

“The most delicious, fresh, and hand-crafted gelato I’ve ever tasted. You must try! Thank you Philmore!!! Can’t wait to come again!“

“This place has the most amazing smell coming out of it. It’s great marketing because it made me wanna try it. It’s definitely really good. It did not disappoint. I had the coffee and nuts flavor in a waffle cone and it was so delicious. The only thing i would want is that the waffle cone and ice cream scoop were a bit smaller and also cheaper. It’s a huge bomb of a dessert.“

“April 2024:Stopped by for lunch and tried the mango chicken sandwich. It was very tasty. I'm so glad that Jane the Baker took over this iconic ice cream store.My mom had the prosciutto burrata sandwich and was happy with her lunch.We also grabbed bread to go. Love ? that Jane the Baker ?.“

“Gelato taste less quality than target ice cream and expensive, don't worth half of what hagendaz worth. They add gelatin and gums in the ingredients not pureEdit 3/13/2024I gave this place another try they changed the recipe no more gelatin now and tastes amazing ?will be going back for more“

“This place really is a gem! Not the best hours, but never disappoints. The owner is very accommodating and oh so sweet. Amazing prices means you can take the whole family, or be a cool local and flex on em with a new mom n’ pop shop. Great treat in the heart of the Mission. ShoutoutKid-friendliness: Samples / small sizes / affordable / not overwhelming“

“Came here after lunch for dessert on April 17, 2024. I decided to spin the wheel since I didn't know what to get. It ended up landing on Ginger + Milk (kind of disappointed inside) but it was actually really good. Staff + service was excellent. Keep up the good work ya'll.“

“Da Giuseppe Nardoni: fantastici cannoli cosi in Californiana non li mangi, con ricotta fresca siciliana“

“Went on a spree on vacation to see the best pizza spots and this one continued to stand out. We had to go back and back and try several. If you want a red get the margherita apizza, or the caccio e Pepe for a white sauce pizza and a wine. 10/10 exceptional.“

“Great Ube mochi and Ube, peanut butter froyos. Cute little outdoors sitting area. Excellent service“

“Fantastic spot with unique Sundaes, shakes, malts, and make-your-own ice cream sandwiches. Loved the cherry & crème fresh with cornmeal cookies!“

“My favorite food is everything on the menu“

“First time having shaved ice cream. It was Tachata which is cinnamon vanilla. Texture and taste was outstanding.“

“Really good service and ice cream. Their ice cream choices and menu choices have a lot of really good options and are super tasty. There’s always a line out the door at this place tho because they are well known for the matcha quality and the good ice cream and lattes. They are pretty fast service too.“

“Love the pumpkin it’s-it!! Made a special trip for that, since it’s not really sold in stores and it’s pretty hard to find which stores sell it. Totally worth the trip. They also offer a styrofoam with dry ice if you forget your own freezer bag or ice chest for $10“

“Quality matcha soft serve. This is the best matcha especially the less creamy matcha in SF.“

“Ice cream here is Good! Great customer service. They also have custom drinks. Gives Mitchel's competition...for those familiar with the area ( prices are similar). For those visiting, you can't go wrong stopping by at Balboa Ice Cream.“

“Great Milkshakes and cookies“

“Fresh baked cookies with very unique cookie flavors (like funfetti & carrot cake). I did expect it to be cloying and super sweet, but it was nice. You could taste the ingredients and the ice cream was great without being "syrup-y". The staff was super friendly, but be warned that they do not always have all the flavors all the time. We waited for about 15 min because we wanted to try the funfetti cookie and some were just coming out of the oven. There were also a few ice cream flavors not in stock. You can take it on-the-go and walk around Fisherman's Wharf, or you can sit in a few picnic tables and chairs to eat it there. Worth a stop and better than the chain ice cream shops nearby.“

“Worth trying but not necessarily returning. The sandwiches were good but not great, fresh ingredients and well prepared but nothing nocks your socks off in terms of flavor. Ihad the Dagwood on Dutch Crunch and also tried the pastrami on a soft roll and both were just OK. Sep 2015.“

“I have been kiss of ?’s customer since the first week of their grand opening! The quality is great and customer service is excellent! We are so happy they are within walking distance from our home. It’s one of our favorites shops in inner Richmond!! ( oh please excuse the vanilla soft serve being upside down- I bought it to go- it’s for my ?? ?? at home)“

“One of our favorite spots in the Richmond. Sean and Alice are as terrific as their ice cream!“

“Hands down like my favourite place I have ever been for matcha. The soft serve was sooo creamy and the perfect ratio of matcha! The store is pretty small but it's so adorable because the doors are open and you can feel the breeze while you're inside. The cone is DELICIOUS and the service is good! Not a very long line when I was there.“

“I've lived near this dessert spot for a whole year before trying it and I'm mad at myself that it took so long. This place is incredible and had one of the best desserts I've ever had in my life. I had the strawberry yuzu cheesecake and my tastebuds were overjoyed. There aren't enough words to describe how delectable and delicious this dessert was. If I could eat it over and over again - I would!! It is a bit on the pricey side but 100% worth it. Taste is obviously spot on but the desserts are beautiful as well and you can tell they really care about their craftsmanship! The workers were also super kind and helped me choose what to order based on my preferences. I will most certainly be back and recommend it to everyone I know.“

“So delicious! Loved the Black Sesame soft serve ice cream. It tastes like a mild chocolate flavor with a nutty aftertaste :)“

“Delicious Harvey Milk and Peanut Butter. As good as it gets.“

“My favorite ice cream spot in SF. The scoops are great whether in a bowl or one of their awesome waffle cones. They have some solid cookies and brownies, but I think their chocolate cake is excellent and always worthy of a to-go slice. Staff has been awesome, the place is always clean (bathroom included), and it's located in a cool part of the city. 5 stars all the way.“

“Phil Taylor is a wonderful Host. He cordially welcomes songwriters from all over the globe to perform songs in the round style. It’s a great way to share one’s music and meet other like minded folks. I had a wonderful time 1/7/23. Looking forward to a future opportunity to perform my music. I definitely recommend this group.“

“The Ghirardelli Chocolate Experience in San Francisco is a delightful treat, especially for those with a sweet tooth. The ice cream is notably delicious, albeit calorie-rich—a common trait for such indulgent treats. Despite the indulgence, many find it worth trying, especially when visiting lively places in the company of loved ones. The atmosphere typically reflects the historic and charming essence of Ghirardelli Square, making it a memorable part of any San Francisco visit. The combination of rich chocolate and creamy ice cream options offers a genuinely satisfying experience for chocolate lovers.“

“high quality ice cream and great flavors...10 outta 10“

“Best hot chocolate ever. Definitely trying the Gelato next!“

“I love supporting small businesses and this place is the Best! I love their Lavazza cappuccino and pastries especially the cannolis! Got to try the vegetariana sandwich today and it was the best vegetarian sandwich I’ve had! Super cute spot and very kind people!“

“Came here after reading on Next-door that they have fantastic peanut brittle, one of my favorites. Said it was better than See's. $24/lb, not cheap, and See's still better! We bought a few other things, really enjoyed their chocolate covered toffee.“

“just the best gelato cake this side of Italy. great crew, great owners. their kids are awesome!“

“I stopped by here to get some Mitchell's ice cream which they sell here. It's currently $3.99 for one scoop and $5.99 two scoops. The Thai ice cream definitely seemed to be the most popular out of the ice cream flavors currently offered. Service was fast and friendly, I paid in cash and didn't get given a penny back in change but it's not like I could've done much with a penny anyhow.I wish the cup/scoop size was just a bit bigger, but the ice cream itself was creamy and delicious. It did start to melt and drip immediately due to the sunny weather, though.“

“Was visiting and had dinner nearby to find a dessert option late at night. Glad we made the decision to go there to find a line out the door!!! Glad I waited and tried their ice cream for the first time. It is worth the wait and totally recommend it.“

“Great oldschool sandwiches... get a small because the mediums are huge lol. Unless you're hella hungry.“

“Great little spot in North Beach. The gelato selection and quality is top notch, and their pistachio cannoli are awesome every time.“
