22 Best Ice Cream Shops near Fairfax

“If this is not a stop on our yearly vacation to Inverness and Point Reyes then it becomes a problem fast. My wife and kids look forward to the ice cream here every year. They always have a great selection to choose from and it's always fresh. If there's a line which there often is, it's worth the wait.“

“Great service with delicious dessert.“

“I think there are maybe 3 vegan places that serve ice cream in the whole of bay area, and this only one in Marin. It was a warm day and wanted to try this place on my way back to east bay. The place was cozy with plenty of seating and decent amount of parking. The lady serving there was super nice. I got a waffle cone with strawberry milk and salted pistachio scoops with sprinkles and caramel toppings. It was super delicious. Updated from previous review on 2025-08-17“

“Loved this froyo and ice cream spot! We were on our way to the beach and wanted something sweet to eat and this was the perfect place. The amount of different flavors and toppings was great and they even let you pick between traditional ice cream and frozen yogurt. The staff was also very friendly and seemed super layed back. Definitely coming back when I’m in the Mill Valley area!

Parking: This place is always pretty busy but there’s a free parking lot next door, just check the sign because there are some times when you aren’t allowed to park there.“

“I love it 🥰😋, delicious flavor, price wise no to bad 👌“

“It’s beyond wonderful. Tony spumoni, pistachio, ginger, too too good“

“During a recent visit to Sausalito, I stopped by Lappert’s Ice Cream, and it absolutely lived up to its reputation. There was a bit of a line, but it moved steadily—and the wait was well worth it.

I tried their Ube ice cream, and it was exceptional. The flavor was rich, authentic, and subtly sweet, with a creamy texture that made every bite satisfying. It’s clear they use high-quality ingredients and put care into their flavor profiles.“

“I love this classic frozen yogurt shop. They always have great new flavors (as well as the classics) and the best toppings whether you are a candy or fresh fruit fan. The staff is always friendly and helpful.“

“Servers are fun to talk with and to learn about the best treats!“

“Loving Cup in Marin is a sweet spot for delicious, customizable frozen yogurt and rice pudding. The frozen yogurt is made fresh with a variety of mix-ins, offering a creamy and satisfying treat. The rice pudding is a unique offering that’s equally delightful. Friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere make it a local favorite for dessert.“

“Fantastic ice cream! We had the Kauai Pie, which is Kona Coffee, Chocolate Fudge, Macadamia Nuts and Chunks of coconut. Extremely yummy! A scoop as of June 2024 is $6, and it’s pretty large.

The sitting is by a busy road so not the most romantic.“

“I got the carnitas and pineapple pizza, which was hot, fast, and very flavorful! So thankful I missed the SMART train and had to find dinner in Larkspur.

The staff were easy to chat with and helpful - they made me feel welcome, even though it was pretty close to closing time, which I quite appreciated.

Got an ice cream afterwards and also loved it! Their mix-in machine is pretty cool.

I've paid much more dough for much worse service and food - bottom line, I'll be missing my train more often to stop in here!“

“Yummy tasty soft serve. Especially the ube. And I’ve had lots around the globe and every Japan town I can frequent. Menu could be more clear and self explanatory between the “parfait” and “pm fav”. Mochi rice cakes could be improved - I’m a tough critic! All in all, really worth a try. Support your local business!“

“We were here for vacation and found this cool ice cream place. There are so many varieties that we asked them for their popular ones and yet I got the chacobanga and rose scoops on a cone and a chocolate in a cup. The service is great and the vibe is cool, literally you feel you are in a tropical place with music, vibe and great ice cream with amazing interiors. I loved the ambience and it seemed like a family owned business. I highly recommend it if you're here in Petaluma, go look out for this place, you will thank me later.“

“Iman the owner is amazing! It's a charming and incredibly delicious menu! I grew up in France so I know a good crepe! I ordered the Peach, Brown Sugar and Butter crepe with Buffalo ice cream. The crepe was crispy, crunchy, light and scrumptious; plus it had a salty sweet delicate yumminess. The buffalo soft serve addition was unbelievable- rich and creamy and different than anything I've had. Will return as soon as possible!! 🎉🙌🏼🥰🎉🥳“

“Took my family and grandchildren for a treat and lady behind the counter with glasses was kind and patient. This is the spot to go with your family.“

“Excellent flexible and happy to work with you. During this time of physical distancing- they made it easy to gather sweets for home bound treats! #shopNovatoLocal“

“Only thing I come in to order is the Crazy Coffee Smoothie! And it's on hit every time! 👍🏽“
