“Great desserts 🍨 good friendly service“

“Best gelato in San Francisco.“

“Historically best ice cream in SF!“

“It's amazing, I highly recommend everyone to go here“

“Çok lezzetli sağlıklı hijyenik aile olarak üretim yapılan bir yer kesinlikle ziyaret edilmeli teşekkür ederiz“

“I’ve never been here in person but I’ve frequently ordered the hand-scooped pints from here on Doordash, and they always give a generous amount. The grasshopper pie flavor is the best by far and might be my favorite ice cream flavor ever. The ube and strawberry flavors are also really good.“

“Marshmallow fluff;) Loved the Milkbomb sandwich! Will definitely go again;)“

“$4.5 for a hot freshly roasted beef sandwich, with the side of nachos and potato salad in San Francisco is unimaginable! The pistachio ice cream was really good as well. Tom is a really nice man who is dedicated to his ice cream shop and the customers. Come and get yourself a sweet treat!“

“My favorite ice cream spot in San Francisco. The flavors are unique and taste pure. Their vanilla lilikoi flavor paired with their salty Kaya (pandan coconut jam) is my go-to pairing. Love the ample vegan selections, too, especially their farmer’s market fruit sorbets. Dog-friendly, too!

3 samples max per person, so strategize with your friends accordingly. Expect to wait in line outside for a bit so bring a sweater/coat since it gets chilly in SF, especially in the evenings.“

“Stumbled upon Polly Ann while looking for a source of birthday cake for a friend. Polly Ann is absolutely the best - high quality ice cream, incredibly massive list of flavors, their whipped cream and frosting are the best we've encountered in SF, and the staff all really want to help and worked with me to make every order right! This is now my go-to for birthday cakes, and each one has surprised and delighted. One friend said it's the best birthday cake he ever had. Another friend asked for a 2nd one, because they put left overs in the fridge (ice cream cakes melt in the fridge) and liked the cake so much they wanted a replacement, with the exact same flavors.

When I was delayed and couldn't pick up the cake in time for the birthday party, the shop staff were so helpful and worked with me to get an Uber delivery organized and they made sure the driver got the cake and they saved the day!

Note: if you order through Doordash or Uber, Polly Ann does delivery, but NOT through their website. The website will let you schedule delivery but this is not accurate, I think the owners are working on fixing the website - in the meantime, ensure you plan on pickup if ordering direct.“

“We love this ice cream place not just because of their delicious flavors. They always have, or because of the monthly new flavors that they cook up all the time. But we also love it because they always have vegan options. We don’t do well with dairy, so we’re always willing to take dairy pills to have these delicious flavors. But we also love that they are vegan flavors are also high-quality! It’s nothing fancy, it’s just ice cream. But they do it very well.“

“fabulous! please open another in the San Jose area. great service..the way they encourage you to taste while waiting in line...loved the various, different flavors“

“Yummm. Try the sf cheesecake and the bubbly Texan“

“Delicious, local, worth the wait. The owner, Norman, was a lovely man. The location in the historic Del Monte cannery courtyard was a plus. Quiet, peaceful location to enjoy ice cream away from the frenzy one block away. If you like sampling ice cream from local folks while traveling, this is a must-visit.“

“Stopped by Ghirardelli for a dessert break and ordered the Strawberry Passion Hot Fudge sundae. The portion was huge and packed with a lot of ice cream. The chocolate-dipped strawberries were surprisingly big and sweet, and the hot fudge sauce tasted really good with the ice cream without being overly sweet. Everything balanced together nicely, and it felt like the perfect treat while taking a break around the area.“

“Good stuff, love nondairy options!“

“Yummm. Try the sf cheesecake and the bubbly Texan“

“Unique and exquisite homemade ice cream, original, tasty and so much more!😍 Don't hesitate to visit their cute shop and try them all!“

“just the best gelato cake this side of Italy. great crew, great owners. their kids are awesome!“

“The most delicious, fresh, and hand-crafted gelato I’ve ever tasted. You must try! Thank you Philmore!!! Can’t wait to come again!“

“Loved the crepes and service!

Crepes were soft and fluffy. We got #28 which had coffee icecream and pudding. Was a unique combo but both flavors paired well together.

The bear face was adorable (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠) ʕ⁠´⁠•⁠ᴥ⁠•⁠`⁠ʔ“

“Must try Affogato!! Espresso poured over Vanilla ice cream or over your favorite ice cream. Delicious 😋“

“Happiness in a cup. And a cone 😁“

“I love these cute little corner stores in San Francisco on potrero Hill. We only had ice cream but the ice cream was great. Nice little tables and chairs to sit out and watch the world go by. Someday we'll have to go back and try some of the other thing on the menu besides ice cream.“

“The kind worker, Amir was really welcoming and thoughtful. He gave my friend a strawberry and chocolate cup when I got the Dubai chocolate one because she was allergic to pistachio. Even though she couldn’t eat it in case of cross contamination, it’s the thought that really mattered to us. The froyos we got were really good. Definitely recommend!! 10/10“

“The first time this happened, I assumed it might have been a mistake and didn’t mind.
However, after ordering an unsweetened matcha latte again and still finding it noticeably sweet, I felt frustrated.
I was told the sweetness came from the milk, but the level of sweetness didn’t seem consistent with milk alone.
My concern is less about taste and more about transparency—there’s no clear indication that “unsweetened” may still contain sugar.
If you’re sensitive to sugar or monitoring intake, I’d strongly recommend confirming the ingredients of the matcha powder before ordering.“

“Walked by this pop-up restaurant on the way back to our car, decided to give it a try and was not disappointed. The young woman providing service was very friendly did a wonderful job putting together are bare basket and cookie sandwiches. They're pretty big two people could easily split it.“

“The ice cream is amazing! I’m a sucker for Juliette’s Vanilla malt milkshake. Never too full for one of those!“

“Well, it is a tad pricey, but it is a must stop when visiting San Francisco. Sure, you can get it elsewhere--the candy bars etc., but they have the best sundaes and the entire store is just packed with anything you want from their line of great chocolate.

The place can get packed so chill out. During tourist season it is busy, but the line moves fast and there is just so much to look at and so much to buy.

The place is just spotless and everything tastes fresh and you want to buy a gift or two for friends. They even sell hot chocolate mix. There is just nothing not to love.

The staff is super and knows where everything is. Go to this one. Sure the tourists love it. I am a tourist and I love it.

Now, don't leave your candy bars in the sun. They will melt and you will be sad.“

“Best hot chocolate ever. Definitely trying the Gelato next!“

“Phil Taylor is a wonderful Host. He cordially welcomes songwriters from all over the globe to perform songs in the round style. It’s a great way to share one’s music and meet other like minded folks. I had a wonderful time 1/7/23. Looking forward to a future opportunity to perform my music. I definitely recommend this group.“

“I love supporting small businesses and this place is the Best! I love their Lavazza cappuccino and pastries especially the cannolis! Got to try the vegetariana sandwich today and it was the best vegetarian sandwich I’ve had! Super cute spot and very kind people!“

“Delicious Harvey Milk and Peanut Butter. As good as it gets.“

“Vegan caramel chai with chocolate rocks...because I’m 7 ❤️“

“Enjoyed the pineapple fruit juice beverage with Pomegranate pearls on a hot day in San Francisco“

“This is a charming ice cream shop on broadway Burlingame. They have a great selection of tasty hand crafted ice creams, yogurts , sorbets, chocolates and candies. It's an ice cream shop that fulfill the most posh of taste. My favorite is the Ube ice cream . Its so luscious , thick and creamy texture with a mellow, subtle nutty, and a hint of vanilla flavor. Location is great. It's on broadway Burlingame next to Walgreens. Meter spots , parking lots , and 2 hrs of free parking available. Cute ambience and the entire staff is attentive and welcoming.“

“It’s really creamy delicious! Highly recommended. 😋“

“Came on a Thursday night after seeing the Dates Pizza on TikTok—such a wild combo that I had to try it. It was incredible: like a fresh, vibrant salad wrapped in world-class pizza bread. We also had the meatballs and the pepperoni with sweet chili, and both were just as good. Fantastic service and a cozy, intimate vibe.“

“the matcha TEA drink was super yummy I liked it a lot. However, the ube matcha latte was not it… I couldn’t only taste the ube and it was pretty sweet. If u are looking for a strong matcha drink, don’t get the ube LOL. On a side note, the ice cream was a major plus, very strong flavor and not a puny little serving!
P.S. this location did not have a crazy long line and the order is prepared super quickly“

“Their service and their soft serve is amazing! I always stop by their store when I'm in the area! 😀“

“Great spot for a family meetup! Visited with relatives living in the US and loved the cozy atmosphere. The cup ice cream is very tasty—the chocolate flavor was rich and delicious. Highly recommend, but please note there is no restroom available inside.“

“First time having shaved ice cream. It was Tachata which is cinnamon vanilla. Texture and taste was outstanding.“

“gluten free, vegan, coconut based froyo! yum!“

“Great Milkshakes and cookies“

“Though this is the branch you’d want to visit, bear in mind that the inside looks very much different to some of the photos. They did a remodelling few years ago and with it some of the stuff like the famous chocolate fountain is gone😭

Same great quality and service though 👏🏻“

“This place is WONDERFUL! The paletas come in dozens of flavors, and all that we have tried so far are delicious. (If you aren't familiar with a paleta, it’s like an ice cream, or a popsicle, or a combination of both on a stick, but with added goodies like fresh fruits, even a whole Oreo, maybe alcohol extracts flavors, bubblegum, you name it!) IAuthentic. Just like from fresh from Michoacán!“

“Talk about a hidden gem in the slums of downtown San Francisco! For a corner store they sure do have an amazing food selection. Went to go get pizza across the street around midnight and they just closed, went here instead and got some fruit salad and fettuccine. They had kebabs, wings, pasta salads etc and it all looked super fresh.

Great place to go for quick meals to take back to your hotel if you’re staying nearby.“

“se te hace agua la boca 🤤 The food is BOOOOMB, bomb.com!!! The Crepes are AMAZING 🤩 The esquites are magically delicious 😋 and the customer service is great 👍🏻 super friendly and nice. Definitely our favorite place to snack at whenever we are in San Francisco“

“Mangonada, nieve de garrafa, raspados, bionicos, tostilocos, tejuinos“

“Great little find while touring the city! Had to stop by three times in two days. Fantastic sandwich’s and great pastries.“
