I like to head straight to the soft serve line. Only two flavors a day, but virtually no wait!
Try the Dark Chocolate, Ricanelas (Snickerdoodle), & Coffee Toffee Ice Cream - Yum yums in my tum tums. :)
Skip the long lines and hit the soft serve! Now with Double Eight Dairy buffalo milk
Sara AkhavanJuly 4, 2013worth the wait, every time. salted caramel + almond toffee brittle, every time.
Sasha LutsaievskyiJanuary 2, 2016Honey lavender ice cream with sea salt, bergamot olive oil and dark chocolate
Vivianne MelloOctober 17, 2011If you like coconut, you will love the coconut ice cream they have. It's definitely the best one I've tried.
Jamee VeeMay 31, 2011Earl Grey flavor is a good alternative. Soft serve window next door down is great when you want delicious ice cream without the line.
Melissa GraeberAugust 26, 2011Skip the line and go to the soft serve window! Way better than the ice cream. Neighborhood's best kept secret.
Daniel L.January 12, 2012I was not a fan of the Sam's Sundae - something too fruity about the flavoring. Try a daily special flavor or mix & match. You waited long enough, get what YOU want!

Joanne PangMarch 1, 2014I dream about a scoop of their salted caramel & honey lavender in a sugar cone.
Andrew CerdaDecember 29, 2011Don't forget to wait in line. I mean, it's only some of the best ice cream in SF!
BonobosAugust 15, 2012Best ice cream around the area. Amazing flavors, especially the salted caramel.
ToryBurchMay 6, 2011We love the family-owned feel of Bi-Rite Creamery. We love their coffee toffee ice cream even more.
JK GrenceJune 12, 2021Better than Humphry Slocombe, if you ask me. The salted caramel is an utter knockout.
Will KivinskiOctober 29, 2013Let's be real, the Lemon Gingersnap With Pumpkin Ice Cream sandwich is off the hook.
Carole ReyesJanuary 17, 2011roasted banana goes great with salted caramel. ask for a cup with a cone flipped over and the combo tastes even better.- Get the Sam's Sundae with chocolate *and* salted caramel ice cream. You will not be disappointed.
Melissa BuwemboFebruary 1, 2013Obviously, salted caramel was worth the hype. But the honey lavender was my personal highlight
Mitch GinsburgApril 29, 2013Ricanelas = 1 part Snickerdoodle, 1 part homemade Cinnamon ice cream, 1 part tears from a Unicorn. There is nothing like it.
Anthony PopeoNovember 18, 2014Get salted caramel topped with hot fudge and you'll see the face of God on your first bite.
Christian FengJuly 3, 2016Good ice cream. But if lines are long it's not worth the hype Mitchell's and Joe's are other good options that aren't as crowded and cheaper.
as awesome as salted caramel is, resist the urge to always get it, and try one of the other awesome flavors
Yes salted caramel but couple that with balsamic strawberry and you've got a situation on your hands.
Joel AntipuestoDecember 4, 2009Got to have Sam's Sundae: Chocolate ice cream with bergamot olive oil, maldon sea salt and whipped cream. Also, the Salted Caramel ice cream is to die for. Read more
