JK GrenceJune 12, 2021Better than Humphry Slocombe, if you ask me. The salted caramel is an utter knockout.
Victor StuberOctober 13, 2014Really hits the spot on a hot mission day. Be prepared to wait in line for 20m though.
The rocky road is amazing, but only available as a pre-packed pint.
Honey lavender is yummy, but olive oil flavor is divine. Salted caramel is overrated and too sweet.
Maya ShanmugamFebruary 23, 2016The earl grey is refreshing and their sundaes can cure any sweet tooth
David GrummJune 12, 2013Salted Carmel is awesome... but I have to say the Stawberry Balsamic is even more special.- Nespresso USADecember 10, 2012Don’t skip out on your love for coffee here. Grab some coffee toffee and enjoy their handmade ice cream!

Will KivinskiOctober 29, 2013Let's be real, the Lemon Gingersnap With Pumpkin Ice Cream sandwich is off the hook.
Mitch GinsburgApril 29, 2013Ricanelas = 1 part Snickerdoodle, 1 part homemade Cinnamon ice cream, 1 part tears from a Unicorn. There is nothing like it.
Eli ReyesJune 15, 2010Is the line worth the wait? YES! Salted Caramel is the staple here for most locals, I add Roasted Banana and find it to be a great balance together.
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.
Jessica RaeSeptember 15, 2013Zagat: 27 Ice Cream: "salted caramel is out of this world, as are the lines"
as awesome as salted caramel is, resist the urge to always get it, and try one of the other awesome flavors
Shirin OskooiApril 13, 2011Weird but surprisingly good combo: salted caramel + ginger (straight up ginger ice cream, not the brown sugar ginger swirl.) If you're skeptical, they'll give a sample of both on the same spoon.
Westfield San Francisco CentreJuly 10, 2012Come see the show of a lifetime at Westfield San Francisco Centre! We are rocking through the decades and celebrating the city in a free 3D light spectacular!
Marilou AlejoJuly 3, 2011Go next door to The Window at Bi-Rite Creamery for soft-serve ice cream & other desserts. Sometimes they have Salted Caramel cupcakes!
If you're getting two scoops, ask the scoopers what they'd recommend. They never disappoint.
Melissa BuwemboFebruary 1, 2013Obviously, salted caramel was worth the hype. But the honey lavender was my personal highlight
The soft serve window closes earlier than the ice cream line so plan accordingly!
Try the salted caramel it is to die for just the right amount of salt and sweetness
Ben AnchetaAugust 3, 2013If the creamery line is too long, go for soft serve at the take away window to the right!
Samantha JohnstonJune 14, 2011Eat the banana split, but get one scoop of vanilla and one scoop of the roasted banana ice cream. You won't be disappointed.
I like to head straight to the soft serve line. Only two flavors a day, but virtually no wait!
BonobosAugust 15, 2012Best ice cream around the area. Amazing flavors, especially the salted caramel.
A pint of earl grey, a pint of orange cardamom. Bring them home. Eat them with a couple of spoons.
Not my fav ice cream shop but damn the creme brule is 🔥🔥🔥
