“I Am Now Having 2 Ice Cream Flavors Of My Choice. Chocolate Chip & Chocolate Fudge.“

“The overall experience was amazing, but the uniqueness of each individual flavor really made it an exceptional experience. I first tried this in March but now want to see if April's flavors have any hidden delights.“

“Holy Expensive!! This little scoop was over $7 😱 I wanted a waffle cone but they wanted $1.50 more for that so I decided against that. I got the chocolate dipped strawberry as it was pretty good but could have had a whole shake at Shake Shack for less than this dollop cost.“

“These burgers are delicious. Fresh tasting, light and juicy, served up hot as soon as they come off the grill. I think our bill was close to $40 for two single shack burgers, one onion ring, and two large diet sodas. Pretty pricey, but hey, this is California!“

“Absolutely love the unique flavors they offer! From ube and black sesame to matcha, genmaicha, and adzuki bean, there’s always something interesting to try. The line can get pretty long, but it’s definitely worth the wait. I always make sure to stop by whenever I’m in the area!“

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

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

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

“I honestly don't even know how to describe how good this ice cream is! Melt Me Creamery has completely ruined all other ice cream shops for me. I ordered a split scoop with Mango Sticky Rice and Pink Berry, and my mind was absolutely blown.The Mango Sticky Rice is easily the best flavor on the menu. It’s actually a vegan flavor, combining a super rich, creamy coconut ice cream base with a vibrant mango sorbet. The contrast between the two textures works so incredibly well, and it tastes exactly like the actual Thai dessert without being overly heavy.Pairing it with the Pink Berry was the ultimate move. It adds this beautifully bright, refreshing, and slightly tart fruit contrast that balances out the rich coconut flawlessly. The texture of their ice cream and sorbet is consistently top-notch—so smooth and clearly crafted with care.The shop itself is boutique and charming, and the staff are incredibly welcoming with samples. Even when it gets a little crowded, it is entirely worth the wait. I will absolutely be back to claim my loyalty stamps!“

“The Best! So many years of great memories“

“sus helados son deliciosos,a mi en lo personal me gusta el de aguacate“

“The Gelato is authentic and so are the people!“

“This place is amazing and family owned. great people work there and amazing ice cream.“

“Do NOT miss this I've cream store. We are ice cream snobs and this place absolutely HITS. The flavors are creative, the vibe is relaxed and faithful to the core ethic of ice cream (i.e., happiness), and the prices are reasonable. I'm also in live with the used spoon return mechanism.“

“Really delicious! Generous topping amount and not too sweet ice cream (perfect). You can get whipped cream and a (high quality, dark) maraschino cherry on top of your scoop.

Our only gripe would be that the texture is more like a soft serve and not like the thick custard we are used to (for example: from Rita’s). The portion is also a bit small but none of these notes would bring my stars down because we would definitely return!!“

“What do you mean there’s one vegan option and it’s probably one of their best flavors!?!? I’m there! A funky crafty ice cream shop with flavors your mouth have never seen come together, make this place a destination for any ice cream lover that is tired of the plain flavors. Award winning and you can tell the crew loves what they are doing. Make the trip!

Happy Munchies,
Jae Greens“

“Delicious ice cream with many unique flavors that we had trouble picking one! The price is also reasonable compared to many artisan ice cream shops. The ice cream is on the lighter side so you can add it to end your meal pretty comfortably. My favorite so far is the Pandan hojicha!“

“This is a cute ice cream shop hidden inside the cannery courtyard by Argonaut hotel. We found it by accident and we were glad we did. Norman the owner was the sweetest, and his ice cream, shakes and hot chocolate were delicious. My family and I can't wait to visit and try it again and again.“

“Perfect stop for a sunny, hot Sunday. There wasn’t a long wait, and the service was fast and friendly. We didn’t get to see them make the ice cream, but it was definitely the smoothest ice cream I’ve had.

I tried the cookie dough with pretzels and chocolate chips and really enjoyed it, the sweet and salty combo worked really well with how creamy it was.

There aren’t a ton of seats inside, but we were still able to find a spot.a bit pricey for sure“

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

“Vegan (& Gluten-free) flavors! I loved the pluot, the dark chocolate, and the walnut (that has no pieces of nuts in it, which is really helpful to those like me who can’t have much fiber). Additionally, I found all three flavors more refreshing than (sickeningly) heavy, and the flavors 🤩 🎇—like the grand finale of a fireworks show for the taste buds. I’ve only had about a spoonful of each so far but am in love 😍🤤😋. I didn’t go to the shop, someone brought me some, so I’m not able to give my opinion on the actual shop. From what I heard, though, it wasn’t as crazy as many ice cream places are on hot weekends! 😊“

“Friendly staff ! Delicious icecream - we accidentally dropped our icecream as we were walking out and the staff didn’t hesitate to replace 💕❤️🍦“

“Our first visit but absolutely not our last! What delicious flavors! Everyone loved their desserts, the toppings are incredible (vegan hot fudge, vegan caramel, toasted almonds,) and we all left full and happy! Definitely stop in when you’re in the neighborhood!“

“Tried this on a friends reccomendation and I'm so glad I did!!! Best Classic Fried Chicken Sandwich I've had in years! The chicken was simply perfect! I had the lemon pepper Aioli on mine and it was so yummy!

Lana's is everything I want in a good place for awesome food I done need to cook. It's wobderful food, perfectly prepared, and it's a local, small business! Fried chicken is surprisingly easy to mess up, but Lana's got this PERFECT!

Do yourself a favor and give them a try, you'll be going back for more just like me!!!“

“We came across this adorable little ice cream truck, selling ice cream, cookies, and brownies. This place has a fun menu, where you can build your own custom ice cream sandwich, or order the ingredients (ice cream, cookies, and brownies seperatly). We ordered the combo, where we got a choice of a cookie, ice cream and a brownie on the bottom. We got fudge as a topping, the cookie monster cookie, toasted s'mores ice cream, and the brownie on the bottom (no special brownie flavors). The cookies are soft and tasty, and we actually bought some cookies later, simply because of how good they tasted. The ice cream tasted really good too, sweet and smores-like. The brownie was a little bit hard, but the ice crean melted and softened the brownie, and allowed for a more chewy bite, but at first it was definitely a little hard to chew into. The service was friendly and efficient. Outside the ice cream truck, there is some outdoor seating where you can eat while you have a view of the pier. I highly suggest getting some cookies and/or ice cream here, especially the cookies n cream cookie, and cookie monster cookie. Good place to get some ice cream and cookies at the pier! (And make your own ice cream sandwich!)“

“I visited here a while ago and I would definitely recommend this store and also Ghirardelli Square in general!
I enjoyed this chocolate shopping experience. Plus the atmosphere was very friendly. The park was super beautiful, and I think it is very cool to see all those chocolate making machines in the store. Chocolate Fudge was way too sweet for me. (I don't have a photo) But overall I would highly recommend this place!“

“Vegan Donut Gelato is PHENOMENAL! My wife and I loved our brief stop this week. The donuts are massive and well worth the price. Friendly service and the woman who served us was great. Highly recommended!“

“Had the best experience here. I called last minute to try and get a table, the person working was able to get me and my three friends in on a Saturday night. We had 2 pizzas and a bottle of wine. Great food, staff and environment. Will definitely come back.“

“Everytime I go there, the staff are always warm and welcoming. The prices are great as far as I'm concerned. They keep it very clean and tidy. It's never been too busy. And the atmosphere is perfect for a random after school treat worth the kids.“

“great-tasting icecream and sherbet“

“Friendly service good choices of organic ice cream That melts in your mouth great flavors. Easy location on Fruitvale near MacArthur across from the library.“

“love it for a afternoon treat w the kiddos“

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

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

“We were in the area, nice 👍 to be able to enjoy our yogurt plus close to coffee shop as well & lots of benches to relax👋🤙👋“

“Good place nice people there“

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

“I can't believe how amazing this sundae was. The brownie breakfast ice cream and banana dulce de leche sitting among toasted candied peanuts and burnt creme brulee bananas was simply divine. Let's not forget the chocolate sauce drizzle and the side of friendly excellent service. The other flavors are interesting and unique. Haven't seen them anywhere else. Definitely coming back again.“

“I had a wonderful experience today at the shop! After getting some nice samples, I was impressed with the texture and flavor of the gelato. I really like how real and natural flavors are, such as the coconut strawberry and the hazelnut flavor. It doesn’t taste fake; it tastes like the real thing because it is the real thing. I thought it was interesting that he says to get his produce just up the street from a local store. It was really awesome! We ended up getting the coconut, and it was fantastic.“

“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.“
