Mia DJuly 1, 2010luckily the line wasn't around the corner when we were here. took a long time to find a parking spot especially during pride weekend. rincanelas (cinnamon and snickerdoodle). YUM!
Tasting TableJune 20, 2012Get the classic salted-caramel, though you really can't make a bad choice: Read more
Not my fav ice cream shop but damn the creme brule is 🔥🔥🔥
Ginger, salted caramel and orange cardamom are the best flavors here!!
ViatorStaffAugust 16, 2010The rarely served rocky road is really the best flavor, but milk chocolate chai and the salted caramel are close seconds. Get your card stamped and get a free scoop for every 10.
Anna JamesNovember 5, 2013Take a scoop of salted caramel and maple walnut. That way when your mouth gets bitter you have the other for a change of taste.
Liana DuckworthAugust 25, 2011All their ice creams are organic, one of the best ice cream shops in San Francisco!
Jennifer JuniDecember 11, 2013You MUST visit here if you're anywhere in San Francisco! And if it's the holidays get peppermint & chocolate.
Robert RoweNovember 3, 2010They all say it, yet, it can't be mentioned enough! -> Salted Caramel (Ice Cream)! Very addictive... Consider this as a Warning! Read more
Jessica RaeSeptember 15, 2013Zagat: 27 Ice Cream: "salted caramel is out of this world, as are the lines"
abbyJuly 18, 2011holy crap, i still dream about the salted caramel ice cream. don't leave sf without tasting it!
Earl grey ice cream is awesome! Almond toffee topping is also incredible!
The Sam's sundae is one of the best deserts you could ever eat. Chocolate, olive oil, salt and whipped cream
GourmetLiveOctober 17, 2010The salted caramel remains justifiably famous, but don’t overlook the subtly spicy honey lavender and nuanced balsamic strawberry.
Michelle MNovember 13, 2010The coconut chocolate is very creamy and tasty... plus it is milk-free (coconut milk is used) and vegan.
Jonathan VuSeptember 21, 2010Honey Lavender and Earl Grey (when they have it) is a light, slightly floral combo. Great for a hot day.
Jaime EsquivelSeptember 16, 2011Basil is a mind trip. Sweet and salty at the same time. Tastes like pesto ice cream. So good.
Top ice cream. There's another location on Divisadero if lines turn you off.
David StrasserFebruary 17, 2012The salted caramel gets a lot of people talking, but toasted coconut is hard to beat.
christina leigh morganApril 27, 2013hazelnut w/ dandelion chocolate's cocoa nibs. you'll be happy you did.
Joseph TamMarch 22, 2011Salted Caramel definitely the best, but ask to try all the flavors and see for yourself
Try the Brown Sugar with Ginger Caramel Swirl Ice Cream - word!
Hate to be a "me too," but despite how it sounds, DO order a Sam's Sundae: chocolate ice cream, bergamot-scented olive oil, Maldon sea salt and fresh whipped cream. A revelation!
For a change from the regular salted caramel, try the maple walnut. Deelish.
Scottie MilagroNovember 17, 2014Don't wait in line, just go across the street and grab a pint to eat at home instead.
