“I was here for about five minutes, but the taste of the cookie milk & cookies is enough for me to give this place 5 stars this time. Not too sweet or rich (I do have a sweet tooth so that opinion is probably skewed) and I liked the simplicity of my single scoop. It was enough for me to get my fix and didn't make me feel awful afterwards. I didn't try the other flavors but they seemed like a fresh departure from the usual combinations of other ice cream spots. Also, from the utensils, bowls, and sample spoons they use it seems like this place is environmentally friendly which is a plus. The staff were friendly and approachable too. Will definitely come back next time I'm in the area!“
“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.“
“The Banana sundae and cookie monster concrete were delicious! This was my first time trying custard (not very common in California) and I was a fan! The smell of toffee as you enter the store is divine. Lexie was extremely friendly and answered all our questions! We're excited for them to become a local favorite!“
“I’m from Portland, the home of Salt & Straw and huckleberry ice cream… I lived in San Francisco for a decade now, never been here before. Stumbled in this evening and had a cherry dipped sugar cone… best ice cream I’ve ever had. Cliff notes: I paid with Apple Pay and it was only $5.5… fantastic for the hideous inflation we’re seeing in the city with food prices.“
“Vanilla is my favorite ice cream flavor. I believe Vanilla is underrated. Vanilla ice cream is the canvas of many of my favorite ice cream combinations. This brings me to find the best Vanilla ice cream flavor I ever had " The Double Fold Vanilla" at Salt & Straw. Being Vanilla at Salt & Straw is a good problem to have.“
“The mango sorbet is good. We also tried the honey lavender but we weren't a big fan of it. Anything that tastes like what lavender smells like is not my favorite but i'm sure there are people who enjoy these kind of flavors. The shop is a little creamery with a few flavors to choose from. The two staff working at the time didn't seem too welcoming ): didn't see a smile at all during our visit not even to the other customers that came in When we said thank you one of the workers just awkwardly looked. If you are craving gelato this is a great place, good to always try new places alwaysss“
“In San Francisco in my opinion people are not always nice including service people, this place was awesome. They ice cream was delicious. I think the owner served us and he was super nice accommodated lots of samples, delicious, ice cream, and very reasonable prices.“
“Extremely helpful and friendly staff!They explained the different flavors in detail and were very patient with me and 3 friends deciding while there were a few people behind us. This was also like 10 minutes before closing!Got the matcha and strawberry which were such a good mix. Their matcha is perfectly balanced sweetness with a hint of bitterness from the strong matcha.I'm not a specifically dairy free person but their ice cream is the only non dairy ice cream that I have tried and really enjoyed. Will be back for more!“
“Wanted a pup cup but they were all out. They offered me a free cup with whipped cream for my puppies that were waiting outside for a treat. That was super nice of them. My puppies also enjoyed the vanilla ice cream and waffle cone we shared.“
“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“

“My favorite place for dessert in San Francisco. I love these crepes so much! The staff are so friendly and have creative hands/minds. The crepes are always made fresh and topped with fresh delicious fruit and ice cream. Yum yum!Vegetarian options: Delicious!“
“The first thing I noticed about this place when I walked in was how warm and toasty it was, which I very much appreciated since it was cold and windy outside. It made indulging in gelato a pleasant experience regardless of the weather.I sampled the vegan passion fruit gelato and then ordered a scoop of it in a small waffle cone. I wanted the vegan vainilla to pair with the passion fruit, but the staff informed me it was mislabeled and unfortunately wasn't vegan. I didn't have any lactase tablets on me, so I stuck with the safe option.There's not much seating inside because it's a small establishment, but eventually, a couple of tall chairs at the window bar opened up. This place is super cute and cozy and conveniently located next to several restaurants and stores. It's a great place to stop by for dessert!“
“So creamy & delicious. You definitely get the full cashew flavor in each bite. I ordered the banana nut flavor & it tasted every bit like banana bread infused in ice cream. Even after eating at Dewie's I'm still dreaming of how flavorful & tasty it truly is.“
“I am not Vegan and these are so good!!! I picked these up for my boyfriend's family who are vegan. The apple fritter was definitely my favorite, but they are all yummy. The girl working was very patient and friendly when helping me choose which ones to get. She also threw in some extra donut holes! The cinnamon one everyone raves about was sold out when I went around 11am. I'll definitely be back to bring them to the next family gathering. 10/10!!“
“Come for the ice cream, but consider the burger too.All of it is pretty thick and creamy. Great portioning. Surprisingly, the calamansi is my fave. It's for THE REAL calamansi lovers, a love for sour is required. But it's the most accurate calamansi ice cream I've ever had. Toasted sesame is awesome- like a sesame ball in an ice cream. Lemon blueberry swirl - all yum. more blueberry preferred. Strawberry poptart - fairly accurate. Pretty goodNow about that burger - solid. It's got all the ingredients to make one of my fave burgers - mustard grilled pattie, extra pickles, lots of onions, and a super soft bun. but it was too strong on the mustard,and the bread doesn't taste like it was cooking with the burger on the grill. A little toasty would've gone a long way“
“We were shopping in this street and were very hungry. My kid spotted this pizza place and we decided to go there. As vegetarians we ordered the Agarlic Pie, margharita pizza and garden pizza for 4 of us. We absolutely loved this cute little pizzas. All of them were great. Kids also enjoyed it. Will definitely visit next time when we are in this neighborhood!“
“Ice cream was great. The two young ladies behind the counter were helpful. It was kind of odd that they were just standing around. Kind of looking into space/bored. It wasn't busy and I'm guessing they aren't allowed to be on their phones. They did a little cleaning up but I guess everything was done. Just my random observation.“
“Incredible gelato!! Came here for dessert after grabbing dinner with friends. It's a cute little spot but got pretty packed while we were there because there isn't much seating. There are tables outside where you can enjoy the gelato if weather permits. The server let us sample a few flavors and I ended up getting a kids size with panna cotta and dark chocolate sorbet. Both flavors were delicious but the dark chocolate sorbet was absolutely incredible. The flavor was so rich and creamy-I had a hard time believing it was sorbet. And an even greater compliment: my friend, who had just gotten back from Italy, said that Almare is better than gelato in Italy!“
“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.“
“Amazing food with options that meet different tastes.Their burgers are so tasty and their sandwiches as well.I love their packaging has a minimal use of plastic.There's an indoor seating area which is a bit noisy but outside the terrace is just perfect, good luck finding a table when it's busy! ;)“
“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.“
“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!“
“Stopped for breakfast one morning; what a delight! Tasty filling on a scrumptious bagel. The sight of all the donuts and pastries had us vowing to return. Which we did, scoring a box of various donuts and pastries and the biggest croissants I’ve ever seen. Definitely worth a return visit.“
“Deliciously fabulous ice cream with excellent service. Everyone is so helpful and very nice. The many delightful and unique flavors of ice cream make it hard to narrow it down to just a couple choices. Next time i return I plan to bring a cooler to carry back my take home ice cream choices in.♡“
“2701 Pinole Valley Rd Pinole, CA "Yumy Gurt" is a full service frozen dessert place that offers a variety of items at fair prices. This small place offers frozen yogurt, ice cream, sundaes, shakes, smoothies, flavored tea, coffee, and bubble milk. It has a prime location in a small plaza near the ramps for I-80. It's also across from Pinole Valley Shopping Center, and down the street from the Pinole Valley High School. I was in town for a Yelp Elite Event, and fellow Elite Annie L. recommended Yumy Gurt. They have a shared parking lot, but it appeared cramped so I parked on the street. It was a warm Sunday in Pinole, and the shop was a little busy with kids getting ice cream cones. Okay, I'm only interested in frozen yogurt, aka "fro-yo." The gentleman politely asked for my order, and I said.... Chocolate/Vanilla Swirl (Twist Combo), Small, with Lychee Jelly. ($4.45 + $1.00= $5.45) The non-fat choco/vanilla swirl was not too sweet, but had a good flavor. Not too chalky, with a slight tart taste. The lychee jelly was a generous serving for $1.00, and offered a unique texture and taste. Even though it's frozen yogurt, it didn't stand up well to the near 80*F temps. Oh well, I took my fro-yo to go. There were only a few small tables inside, and no outside seating. That's the only neg about Yumi Gurt, not enough seating. If you only want frozen yogurt, with no toppings, you'll get better value at a full service place like Yumy Gurt. I weighed the small cup, and it held 9-oz. $4.45 / 9-oz = less than 50 cents per ounce Check out their menu: Would I return? YES, good fro-yo, good service, nice location.“
“Wow now I know why I see so many people sitting outside this place every time I drive by. The yogurt is absolutely amazing. We had tropical yogurt it was passionfruit and guava, and my daughter absolutely loved being able to put all the toppings on her frozen yogurt. It was such a great treat, and it made for a great place to take my daughter on our special date.“
“This place is sooooooo delicious, the ice cream is excellent, so are the shakes and the açaí bowls. Everything I had was excellent and not to mention the customer service is AMAZING, Sam is so sweet and I’ll definitely be back because of his excellent service.“
“Fenton's is a long time staple in Oakland, even featured in the movie "UP" a few years ago.They make their own ice cream in house, you can see through a display window and watch them prepare it.There's a to-go line for ice cream as well as plenty of seating which can accommodate large groups.They have a big menu with burgers, fries, a variety of sandwiches. They're well known for their crab sandwich. I like eating some ice cream with some fries.Fenton's ice cream and sundaes are pretty good. My favorite flavors are Coffee Cookie Dream, Cream Caramel Almond Crunch, and Strawberry Cheesecake.They put a lot of attention in their sundaes. My cousin likes to order them deconstructed, with the syrups and toppings on the side, she thinks you get more that way.. hard to say.Come check out Fentons.“
“If you've never had mochi or mochi ice cream, you should definitely order 2 or 3 of those here. We like salted caramel the best. The soft-serve ice cream is solid too, especially the seasonal flavors. If there's no seating available on the nearby benches, go upstairs, there's a couple more benches there, and they're usually available.“
“Review from 4/11/24: My cousin and I took my one year old son and he loved the orange cream and sour watermelon Italian ice. The guy working was nice and let my son try the banana Italian ice, but he did not like it. My cousin ordered mango and passion fruit Italian ice. The passion fruit wasn't very tasty, but the mango was delicious.“
“The Yogurt is okay, but good value and very popular place.You can choose and mix flavors, and up to three topping for $1.What I like most is that they put toppings inside also, they mix the topping in so it’s not just sprinkled on the top.“
“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 had Plain 'Mini Style', with Strawberry Jam. It was DLish!!! Just because my taste, doesn't require super sweet, so the only thing I'd change was clarification of Plain, they still sprinkled with powder sugar & Cinnamon, so I'd request No Sugar/No Cinnamon, since the waffles are sweetened with these 2 components anyway.“
“Came across this place while having dinner at the public market in emeryville. I loved the concept of cashew ice cream, it felt like a healthier alternative to regular ice cream so I gave it a go! The employee was so sweet, taking her time talking through all the flavors with me and letting me try any and all flavors I desired lol I ended up getting their matcha and specialty flavor and it was such a yummy pairing! I'll definitely go back and even try their other locations“
“these are going to be as sweet as they look. some flavors are a little better than others. but the cornbread was so good it was eaten before i could get a photo. really enjoyed the brownie batter. but the strawberry could have used a better cookie recipe and less frosting“
“These AMAZING people are supplying coffee to Kaiser Richmond during this tough time. From what I was told, the employees are paying for it out of their tip jars and now themselves. Wow. And their coffee is DELICIOUS. Please support them! ❤️❤️❤️“
“This is very likely the best gelato in San Francisco. Don't be fooled by the color of the dark chocolate it's lighter than some of the other chocolates but much richer in taste. Service was great each time we went. There are some tables inside that are always full of people. It's a two block short walk to Union square where there are plenty of tables and chairs to sit and eat your awesome gelato.“
“We are passing thru SF enroute Mexico on our sailboat. We took a walk around the lesser known parts of SF and wanted to eat at a local place away from all tourists. We were not dissapointed with Marina Subs. They were great, plenty of meat and fresh veggies. Highly recommended to all“
“I had been craving fro-yo/soft serve for a while, so when I was tasked with picking the team post-lunch dessert, I knew exactly what I was looking for. Shoutout to Yelp for helping me find this hidden gem, and yes, it is pretty hidden! It's tucked away down an alley you might not think to venture down unless you know what you're looking for. I got a small (which is actually pretty big) half chocolate soft serve with French custard and Oreos on top and it was exactly what my heart, mouth, and stomach had been craving. It was so good in fact that I devoured it within minutes. The man working was nice and answered all our questions about toppings and the different sizes. So happy we found this spot!“

“I have to admit, I was already tired of walking when the group wanted to continue on to Ghirardelli, but it was worth it! I had the mini hot fudge Sunday and it was perfect. The whip cream tasted homemade and it came with a chocolate square. Great ambiance and a lot of little places to sit and chat.“
“Came here with a friend who knows that I like trying out unique flavors. This little discreet ice cream shop nestled in Alameda was small but had a lot to offer. They had super interesting flavors : match Oreo, animal cookie, pandan coconut, Dan tat (!), calamansi, durian and more. I have tried many Asian flavored ice creams, but find most of them are lacking in flavor or leaning more on vanilla or creamy tones to make them more palatable for folks unfamiliar with them. I, however, want my ice cream to taste exactly like Durian or Ube if that's how it is labeled, not a toned down version. This place delivers on that because you're getting exactly what you imagined with no punches pulled. The Dan tat (egg tart) flavor especially blew my mind because I have not ever seen this flavor offered before, it's one of my favorite nostalgic treats from childhood and it tasted exactly like an egg tart. I did end up getting matcha Oreo instead because I was in the mood for something not too sweet and the authentic bitterness in the matcha was the perfect solution. My friend got the animal cookie and it was a perfect rendition of the cookie itself. The workers were nice and tolerant of us trying out a few different samples which is how I know everything was super flavorful. My only critique is that the size of the scoop and quality of the ice cream itself could be improved a notch, but I'm used to Gunther's in sacramento so it's hard to compare.“
“Amazing! I tried chocolate flavor and it was sooooo good! It was super soft and melt immediately in my mouth. And it’s not super sweet that makes me to drink water after taking it. And I could feel the very light good smell of cinnamon as I eating it. Definitely going to be back again!“
“I’ve been to this Ben & Jerry’s before but today I went for Free Cone Day and was really amazed by how fast the line moved. This location is always very clean. Everyone working here was very helpful, friendly and patient especially since the long was rather long. The ice cream was delicious, so glad they only charged $1.00 for an additional scoop.“
“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.“
“If you’re like ice cream sandwiches (I once ate a whole box by myself) than this is the place to go! You start by picking your base from about 6 different cookies or brownies. They will warm them up for you. Than you pick your ice cream from about 12-18 kinds. It was big AND delicious. Staff was very friendly and you can eat the inside or outside. DO IT!Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly“
“My favorite flavor is peanut butter fudge ripple which has my favorite flavors - peanut butter and vanilla with just a touch of chocolate. Humphrey Slocombe has tons of other flavors - I've tasted those other flavors - but I haven't found one that I like more than peanut butter fudge ripple. The line can get long and depending on what people order, it can take a bit of time. The ice cream is on the pricier side for those who are watching their budgets....but the servings are small for those who are watching their waistlines.“
“Best deli sandwiches in the area featuring Molinari products! Alipino sandwich with turkey, cheese and the works is to die for! The master sandwich maker is an artist carving out the extra dough from the fresh toasted roll as she begins the process of balancing salad makings with meat cheese etc... Pricey at $17 but worth every bite!! Our go to deli spot in north beach!“
“My husband had fish and chips which he liked very much. The fish was crispy and hot. I had a fish sandwich. The fish was hot and crispy. The sandwich came with lettuce, tomatoes and pickle. I ordered before I arrived and the food was ready a few minutes after I arrived. The two gentlemen behind the counter were friendly and professional.“
“Quick "treat your self" stop after a 2 hour hike. Ordered at the outside window and service was super helpful and patient as it was our first visit looking at the menu. The Cookie Monster and Minty Cookie Twisties were amazing as was the Chocolate Milkshake. Gotta come back for the food! Looks like good amount of indoor and partially outdoor dining available too.“
“My daughter wanted a hello kitty ice cream cake, so we looked for one and couldn’t find one and to order a custom one would be over 100 for 10 kids, we went to basking looked through their cakes online and picked a red heart one. Then I thought I’ll just tell them not to add sprinkles I’ll do it myself I’ll buy some hello kitty ones from micheals and boom hello kitty cake, let me tell you I went to order and the girl said I’ll have the cake decorators call you, she did, I told her I had sprinkles and she said she could put them on, I went in and well she took all my ideas, changed the color, added the bow and made a beautiful cake, im so grateful, my daughter was so happy!!!“
