Cozy ice cream shop and cafe! Guava ice cream with hint of chilly was nice. Gulab jamun sundae was delicious - topped with dried rose petals and pistachios. Samosas were just fine. Felt expensive for the portions and quality.They have some inside seating and ample space outside as well.Parking: Street side parking

I absolutely love this place and their ice cream! I was looking for some koolfi in the Bay and stumbled across Koolfi Creamery, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Their Bombay Butterscotch flavor is my favorite, but every flavor I’ve tried has been amazing. Highly recommended.

We came here after seeing the Community Bank of the Bay commercial for local businesses on a whim! So glad we did because the owner is wonderful and the flavors are rich. She said all the milk and cream are organic. You're able to have 2 samples. I had the guava chili and it was amazing. The chili was not overpowering and just left a tingly aftertaste that was so unique. My friends all liked their other flavors as well. I believe there's only street parking. Service is great. There are a couple seats and tables inside and outside. I had the waffle cone but I really wish I had tried their house-made dosa cone. Try it if you go!

Stopped by again last week for cinnamon bourbon salted caramel and matcha raspberry with mysore pak crumbled on top. Please bring back the mysore pak. It should be on everything. In general--good variety and creativity with flavors, good texture; I hope to be back soon.

Delicious, unique ice cream flavors. Dropped by on a Saturday afternoon after getting lunch elsewhere and it was pretty busy inside with people eating their ice cream, but no one was in line. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and patient in explaining the different flavors we were trying. I ended up getting a half-and-half scoop of the klassic koolfi and the guava chili and absolutely loved both. The guava chili had a pretty good kick of heat, and both flavors of ice cream were complex and interesting. Only complaint is that it was a pretty small amount of ice cream in my cup. Definitely feel like these guys could be a bit more generous with the amount they serve. Other than that, I'd recommend checking this place out and trying the different flavors. It's worth it to find a new, unexpected favorite flavor and introduce some variety into your ice cream rotation.

bad taste, and worst management/owner; we went there with 5 family members, and this guys screwed up all fun.
worst place, not only food/ice-cream is bad, but bad place for kids

Parking is street around the area but it's not too crowded around 7. We checked flavors online beforehand and most were true when we were there. So many great flavors to choose from! I wish they didn't limit samples to 2, I needed to have 3. They were very friendly and patient with us, and they also let me do two flavors in a one scoop cup which was very cool of them. I got butterscotch praline and lychee rose which were both great. I definitely preferred lychee rose-- it was very delicate and floral with bits of lychee and rose which was fantastic. Also, their cones are gluten free!!!

Fabulous flavors. I wish I'd made it in sooner, but now that I've tried it I'll be back!! Both vegan flavors were very good. (banana and chocolate) The rest of the family had dairy-based lychee rose, classic kulfi, mango kulfi. We also tried several other flavors and wow wow wow. My favorite is the classic kulfi!! On Saturdays they also sell other foods made by local vendors. Got a pint of cardamom ice cream for home $7 Puppy treats: peanut butter, banana, and ground peanuts, and yogurt. Cute. Friendly efficient service, clean and bright store. It's right off the freeway and quick back on, and if you want more than ice cream for dinner (and it's not a Saturday) there is a decent taco place adjacent. GLUTEN FREE ice cream cones. It's worth it just for that, if you are GF.

Ice cream is great, service is great what more can you ask for? Flavors I tried Classic koolfie Warm smooth creamy nutty (walnut/pistachio?) overall a very comforting ice cream mix of savory and sweet Mango koolfie Spiced filled mango lassi but with 5 spice! Sweet n full bodied with a side tang from yogurt, subtle warm spice aftertaste, leaves your mouth with a fragrant souvenir. Lychee and rose Tiny Bits of lychee with main aftertaste of rose water really fruit n floral with milky undertones almost tasted like a sorbet despite creamy, refreshing Red bean soy caramel Like the red bean ice cream bars I grew up eating but complex, roasted, and sweet, but not too sweet as the toasty flavor balances out sweetness perfectly. Almost tastes like a red bean paste ice cream taiyaki. Contains tiny pieces of red bean. Orange orange orange Like an orange creamsicle but with tiny bits and pieces of Indian orange biscuit and zest. Such a nice textural bite. Can't wait to come back for some samosas on a Saturday
