50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Alamo

“Great place! Tons of toppings to choose from! The cherry tastes like cherry slurpees with some cherry juice and melted marshmallow topping wow! Plus pineapple dole with some blueberries and strawberries. Tart with Heath bar and almonds.... Moche on top!!! Cashier was real sweet and cute too! I didn't his name but you'll see if you go there.“

“This gelato shop exceeded all expectations with their pistachio flavor. Creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced, it's hands down the best gelato I've ever tasted. Friendly staff and top-notch quality make this a must-visit spot for gelato lovers. Can't wait to go back for more!“

“I was visiting a friend in the East Bay and craving some authentic Brazilian açaí when I found this place on Yelp. The food is phenomenal! I got the very berry açai bowl and an empada, and I could definitely tell that the ingredients are high quality. Every mouthful was delicious, and even the 15 oz size is a huge portion. The bowl it’s served in is deep, so it feels like a lot. My friend got a coxinha, which was just as yummy as the other two. It was also twice the size of coxinhas I’ve seen sold at other places. Impressive! The staff are so friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere of the café is warm and cozy. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“First time trying this place and it was absolutely a great experience! The chapli kabob and chicken kabob was amazing! Also Sultana made us feel like very welcome! She made us feel as if we had dinner at their home. Definitely recommend this spot.“

“One of the best froyo I've ever had! Wasn't able to try their gelato but I'm super impressed with their froyo -- super creamy, flavorful, texture is like soft serve ice cream. I'm so grateful I work by here because Yogurt Spot makes such a good after-work sweet treat. The employee who assisted me was very friendly and efficient. They offer samples of the gelato, and I'm assuming the froyo too, but I already knew what flavors I wanted so I didn't get froyo samples. Other customers were sampling the gelato. Froyo is priced per cup size, not oz, and includes 2 free toppings! Additional toppings are $0.75 each. Upfront the pricing seems higher than other chain froyo places but ultimately ends up being reasonable since pricing includes toppings and the cups are filled up high.I got a small, which I shared with my boyfriend, with Strawberry and Cookies and Cream + strawberries and Reese's PB cups toppings. Total came out to be $7-8. The froyo was so good and not icy at all.Can't wait to come back and try their gelato!“

“Almost Toffee, DARKEST (vegan) chocolate, and Ethiopian coffee were the heaviest of flavor hitters for this round of ice cream in Walnut Creek! Solid service where they were able to offer some solid samples, even offering both dark and darkest chocolate for contrast in flavors! Music taste was impeccable as well!!“

“I came to Salt & Straw last week it was some of the best ice cream I had in a while. I was helped by Mia who was so nice she allowed me to create something that's not even on the menu. We made this double scoop with waffle crumbles in it. So Good. You gotta try it.“

“Employees are so nice, the place is always clean, and the cookie quality is great. It’s usually too sugary for me to eat an entire cookie but that’s why I share :) If you don’t have a sweet tooth you probably won’t like it. I love it though :)“

“We love the Darkest Chocolate here. This has become our sort celebratory go-to place to reward our kids for when they are their best behavior.Vegetarian options: Their Darkest Chocolate ice cream is Vegan. Not sure if there are other vegan or vegetarian options.“

“Omar (co-owner) was very patient with me. I tried a few different flavors. They're so good it's really difficult to choose! He said I could have 2 flavors in the small. I chose popcorn and the butter pecan. Both are the bomb! The ambiance is nice. The place is clean. This is my ice cream/gelato favorite place!“

“Post lunch milk shake! Clancy's is closed on Wednesdays, and I wasn't going to be denied! We swung over to Loards and got our fix. The shop is in front of their production facility. There's a small parking lot and plenty of street parking. Not sure what happens at night though. We were greeted from the back room as we entered. Apparently, the person who works the counter has other responsibilities as well. She came out very quickly, was friendly and asked how she could help us. The shop is a throwback to ice cream parlors of olde. There was an open case with sodas and a coffin case with plenty of "pints" & "quarts". The flavor menu was on a board above and behind the counter. The service freezer was a older type design where each rectangle and two doors that were hinged and could be opened separately or completely removed from the opening. The doors were not see-through unlike a more contemporary ice cream parlor. She got a Champagne Sherbet Freeze which she thoroughly enjoyed. It started with a new can of Club Soda, the remainder was presented to us when the drink was completed. I got a Coffee Shake. It was all ice cream, no milk. Probably thick enough to stay in the cup upside down and thin enough to go through a straw. Not a bad deal for $5.95. Definitely worth a visit when in the area and craving ice cream! Next time, a Banana Shake with Banana!“

“I always order curbside when I have extra time the milk chocolate chip cookies are amazing can’t go wrong super soft and goey heat the for 10 secs Amazing with milk ! I also like they’re other flavors today I’ll be trying the mystery “

“My happy little place.Love the concept of making your own FroYo cup. You can choose your base FroYo flavours and their amounts and pick from a range of toppings. You pay based on the weight of your cup.One suggestion is to change and bring new flavours more frequently (maybe I visit this place too often ?)“

“You must try their Ube soft serve but personally won’t recommend the taiyaki - does not taste fresh. The crepe was frozen and we were told to wait 10 minutes before eating it.And we preferred the soft serve vs the hard ice cream. Our fave hard ice cream was White Peach.“

“Tasty drinks and quality Boba. We got the popcorn chicken meal - a medium drink, fries, and popcorn chicken. Definitely enough food for two people!Just personal preference, I prefer the popcorn chicken with a bit more seasoning, but the seasoned fries were excellent.“

“Great hot wings and burgers. Obviously the ice cream was awesome. What was a pleasant surprise was the service (5 stars). The server, food runner and everyone working seemed to be fairly young. Everyone was attentive and on top of their game and the food came out fast and efficient. Glasses were always full without asking. It's rare to have received this level of service from such young people. Great job.“

“I really enjoyed this place when dropping in for a cup of hot chocolate. Our hot chocolates came in China cups and were beautifully decorated. Plus, they were made of chocolate syrup, not just cocoa powder. My daughter loved their cat & coffee decorations. :)“

“Yeah best burger in town. I like to double Diablo. Best chocolate shakesDietary restrictions: They have a Paleo Burger and a keto Burger I try them both are greatParking: You can park there for free if you have an electric car they have two public free no charge charging stationsKid-friendliness: Always lots of kids having fun and enjoying the food“

“This place has absolutely delicious birria tacos and consomé. This has been the only thing I've ordered from their menu (there's no other place I know of near me that serves these tacos) but I would also like to try their birria quesadillas. They're listed on the menu as "red tacos" and are about $15 for 3 tacos and the consomé is a separate extra cost. When it comes out fresh, the tacos are super cheesy and yummy. The building is very spacious and doesn't get too busy, so I always get to grab a table. In the middle of the restaurant, they display their desserts and pastries such as flan and alfajores. The restaurant is located in the Park and Shop surrounded by a lot of different Asian cuisines, dessert shops, and a grocery store. If you try parking close to the restaurant, that is the area that is the most congested, we always park in the back of the building.“

“Ube ice cream down the street from my house?!! YES PLEASE!! Some of our favorite scoops include, strawberry brownie, strawberry pop tart, blueberry pie crumble, coffee flake, Cookie Monster, and horchata! We love you Milk and Cookie Bar!!!!!“

“Tangelo is one of my favorite yogurt shops ever! Even though it's a little further than the closest yogurt shop, I drive the extra few minutes for the quality and superior taste! The staff is always so helpful and friendly, and the shop is super clean. Only request is to bring back the salted caramel on a permanent basis!“

“Wow. This was really good. I loved dipping my chips in my clam chowder. I ordered a soup and sandwich combo. I got the tuna sandwich. It was good. I forgot to order cheese but it was fine without it. It was nice to find good soup. I would definitely return if I am in the area again soon.“

“I NEED to stop by this place every time I am in downtown Walnut Creek. ' If you love popcorn, this is a must stop on your East Bay adventure. There location has a boba tea section and a popcorn section; with this review only being around the popcorn section. Flavors: There are a multitude of flavors, like movie theater, kettle corn, double cheddar and chicago mix. Beyond that, there are specialty flavors that include Ube Caramel, Matcha, and Chocolate (note that these three flavors are more expensive. I have tried the Ube Caramel, Matcha, and Chicago mix; with a Chocolate popcorn just waiting for me to open. Based on what I have had, every flavor has been a 5/5 and the Chicago Mix is my personal favorite. Overall: I cannot recommend this pace enough and you need to get yourself here ASAP.“

“The Highlight of MoragaI've been here many times and I have never been let down. There's more flavors than I could imagine, and all are super good. The service is always wonderful and accommodating. It would be worth a trip just to see the inside; it's filled lots of character.“

“I wanted to to say thank you to Hope for being so friendly and giving my puppy butters a treat! I really like when this drive thru brings some of their unique flavors from their larger location. But even just the basics like vanilla milk shakes and strawberry milkshakes are excellent!“

“A classic no frills fro-yo place. We stopped by Yogurt Shack on a Saturday night and it was packed. Looks like a popular hangout for students in the area. The yogurt and toppings were self serve. I was impressed with the flavors and creaminess of the yogurt. I enjoyed the peanut butter, chocolate and coffee.“

“This was our first time in today and the people who are working were so friendly and even gave us a waffle to try, the drinks were delicious, the chairs and atmosphere were comfy and relaxing, this will definitely become a staple for us in the neighborhood.“

“So glad a new coffee and yogurt place has opened here in Clayton. We need more business in this town. Very friendly people who always greet you with a hello. Reasonable prices especially with inflation driving everything up. I've been here a few times and will be back again. Only request is that you please carry Tart flavor yogurt all the time.“

“Tried their double date and mango - both delicious, creamy and genuinely flavorful. Faloodeh shirazi, unfortunately, was a bit disappointing. Something was off, maybe an after taste of tap water?Saffron and Rose on Westwood in LA is still my favorite Persian ice cream. I always get their faloodeh or cucumber. Golnazar's faloodeh doesn't quite hold up. My husband loves saffron and pistachio so we're to try that next.“

“We love coming here during the summer. The burgers are made to order, the buns are soft and makes the burger super yummy. ? Top it off with some soft serve with fun toppings. ??? this place has indoor seating and one table outside. you can order from a window outside or at the counter.“

“Stopped by from out of town for a quick drink. Decided to order a Boba drink instead of a usual coffee, and got a mango green tea. It was surprisingly good! Very refreshing and it was made to order within 5-10 minutes even though there were a few orders. I'd recommend this as a quick stop for anyone both in/out of town!“

“i’ve been to this myo AT LEAST 10 TIMES.they have such a great variety of flavors every time we go. the workers are so sweet and happy to help.i haven’t had a bad experience here yet and each time i go to another yogurt shop, i think “yeah, myo is still the winner”. they’re simply, unmatched.“

“The staff here are incredible and I am so sorry I didn't have enough to tip yall properly ? They were so patient as I asked them to change the ice cream flavor for a cake due the next day (tomorrow)! Shout out to the gentleman, I wish I had gotten his name and the young lady with ponytails!“

“Black sesami and ube are the flavors available in soft serve right now, and there's a ton more in pre-packaged pints. The taiyaki cones are soft, dense, and flavorful in their own right, and my ube soft serve was so flavorful and creamy. Our sesami milk shake was good, but I feel the black sesame flavor is more intense in the soft serve.Also, it's located in Papillon Coffees on the corner near Tutu's“

“We went this afternoon for a break from the gloomy weather, and it was delicious! Five stars for the excellent person working behind the counter, the variety of flavors (including a no sugar added flavor for the person in our group who couldn't eat sugar), and how clean it is with places to sit.“

“Quality ice cream, efficient service, and wide menu, located in a convenient location in a shopping plaza. Plenty of parking. I stopped by on a Wednesday evening around 7pm and there was no wait at all. I was served immediately. Perhaps since it was closer to closing time and on a winter evening, I noticed there were no chairs or tables set out; not a biggie since I was just getting ice cream to go anyways, but I can't comment on their ambience. I grabbed a scoop of their strawberry sorbet. Loved it! Was super delicious and creamy and not icy at all. It had the texture of soft serve, despite it not containing dairy. Flavor was very distinctly "strawberry" and didn't taste artificial at all. Loved that there were little strawberry bits which added to the flavor and texture. A single scoop is very generous which I appreciated. O'Briens has one of the most diverse offerings I've seen. They have 50 flavors of ice cream, Mexican ice cream, smoothies, sundaes, bars, sugar free ice cream, spicy treats, etc.“

“Jen is AMAZING! You can tell that she loves what she does and interacting with others. My aunt and cousins came in here pretty late to closing but she was still serviced us and was very helpful and knowledgeable on the flavors. I will definitely go back!“

“We want to share a special thanks for Brian (manager) and Chris who took the time to help our volunteer load over 30 cases of water into their car, when they heard the purchases were for wildfire relief efforts. It was much appreciated. And showed great heart.“

“Their new store hours are 8:30/8:45.I got there at 8:40 on an 8:45 night and they were already closed & the staff wouldn’t even look at me when I approached the door and knocked. I thought they were still open for another 15-20mins so I was confused. After I knocked they went into the back, and I read their sign to see if they closed early that night, but it turns out they changed their hours.The yogurt is good, the place is usually clean, a little sticky, but it’s froyo so that’s to be expected, overall a good place. They just need to update their hours!Dietary restrictions: Their flavors have ingredients listed (:Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible“

“Quiet place but very friendly staff and a wide selection of topping! They had a crème brûlée yogurt which I had never seen at any yogurt spot before! Don't sleep on the this place! My almost 2 year old had a good time as well! Also has a few outside seating.“

“We are regulars at this Yogurtland. It is always clean and space is welcoming. Today a very kind Indian woman was at the register. She was really sweet to the elderly couple in front of us. She was also very kind to me and my girls. The frozen yogurt and toppings are always fresh here. Big thumbs up for this Yogurtland!“

“whenever i'm at sunvalley, i usually make a stop here for a sweet treat after my shopping trip! no, this isn't the best spot in town, but it's prices are pretty reasonable. service is relatively quick, too. i got a large (and it is LARGE.) mango passionfruit green tea w/ boba - it came out to $7-8 dollars, which is unfortunately the standard nowadays, but the size of the drink makes up for it. you can ask for less/no ice, free of charge, if you want more bang for your buck!“

“I was craving something between ice cream, boba, and shaved snow and this place hit the spot. They even have absolutely adorable fruit flavor ice teddy bears to top your dessert. This probably made me more excited then it should have but all of the different flavors and colors were so fun and they were soft as well so it wasn’t like biting into a chunk of straight hard ice.We all loved our drinksI ordered a regular sized honeydew shaved ice with condensed milk, strawberry fruit and a pretty vibrant pink dragon fruit ice teddy bear.One of my friends ordered a strawberry milk with oatmeal and strawberry popping bubbles.My other friend ordered a tiger milk tea with boba and strawberry popping bubbles.Vegetarian options: There are some vegan options.Kid-friendliness: Fun desserts and snacks for all ages“

“We have patronized Sweet Street for several years. I always am able to find international candies that you can't find at other candy stores. For example, I have a friend from Turkey and when she was missing her homeland, I found Turkish taffy that helped her to feel loved from where she was from. Recently, I had a coworker who told me that he loved Aero bars, but his girlfriend was a flight attendant and she got them from the UK. I walked in, didn't look around because I needed a quick look, so I walked up to the staff member (Sarah) who directed me to the chocolate and mint flavored Aero bars! I was so happy, and then my friend was grateful to try a new flavor. Okay, Sweet Street, we will see you soon!“

“We were ready for ice cream after lunch. My friend came from Oakland because he really wanted to try the cotton candy burrito. Another friend saw the ice cream and got the yearning. We waited a bit, then saw a sign on the desk. Back at 3:00. It was 1:30! Their hours are supposedly from 10am to 9pm on Mondays. Very disappointed. We'll try another time because it looked like it would be good.(two weeks later) We went back around 11:00 on a Friday. I tried calling and nobody answered. We went inside the mall to check, and the place was closed. We had an errand to run and came back again just before noon. It was open. We couldn't ask the server why they hadn't been open because his English was very limited. But the ice cream was very good. My friend loved the cotton candy burrito. I had a scoop of chocolate chip ice cream which was good. It had little chunks of something which were tasty. I'm upping the stars to four because the ice cream is good. But you never know when it's going to be open.“

“Never tried these yogurt drinks with purple rice but I liked them. The yogurt adds a bit of sourness so they are not too sweet. And, they have durian here too for the durian lovers.I did ask why the other Yomie locations in SF on Yelp are permanently closed as a friend in our group is from Portland and also said that the Yomei in Portland closed. I was told by the lady at this location that there are finance issues with Yomei corporate so the franchisees are closing but his location is also Full House Cafe which is probably why they remain open but they don't have the cute cups with the girl on them anymore.“

“Alot of unique seasonal flavors like hazelnut Gelato. I like to go for the dole pineapple flavors to pretend I'm in Disneyland since the ticket prices are too expensive. The place has been around since my middle school years in 2013. It's nice that the place is still open. Service: it's okay with local highschoolers working there most of the time. Ambiance: the topping section is messy with the rotator machines. I'm an adult and I still make a mess depending how much yogurt I have in my cup. Overall, I give the place a four because of the broken machines, lack of customer service, and messy topping section“

“Gotta say there was a noticeable change since the last time I came . The sugar went up and the cream down if my taste buds aren’t lying. (Cashew and mocha-almond-fudge ). Hidden inflation? Not smart. I can get better for less elsewhere. :-(“

“Ordered a delicious banana split with three mouthwatering flavors- ganzito, elote y galleta María - ? ? ? and a scoop of Ferrero Rocher chocolate in a cone. There was one lady working the counter and she had good rapport with the customers.“
