23 Best Ice Cream Shops near Fairfax

“I’ve been to a lot of ice cream places around the world and this is my favorite one (get the vanilla honey lavender flavor). Not only is the ice cream delicious and waffle cone crunchy, but it is very cheap (I swear ice cream has gotten so expensive - like why are some places charging $10). The only downside would probably be that they only take cash.“

“Popped in on July 4 and we’re so lucky this place was open! Owner was super friendly and let me try a few flavors before I landed on the flavors mint and dark chocolate and sea salt (sorbet).

My partner got the blueberry cheesecake - also delicious. Flavors change every month so we’ll definitely be back

Plenty of parking out front. I wish we lived closer so we could’ve bought pints that wouldn’t melt by the time we got home“

“I had a great experience at Angela’s Ice Cream. Their service really stood out—they happily let customers try different flavors before deciding, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The ice cream was some of the best I’ve had, and our server was especially friendly and welcoming. Her warm attitude made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Had an amazing experience at Frankie & Jo’s this weekend. Incredible customer service and super helpful on letting me know what is in the ice cream and detailed on how the flavors taste like. The employee who helped me out was Lara and she was very nice, patient, and great with kids. Highly recommend this place to anyone in the area either visiting or a local resident.“

“Best ice cream cakes ever! You can absolutely taste the difference when it is homemade. Every topping was exquisite, and the designs are beautiful. The ice cream was thick and creamy, and the chocolate sauce heavenly!“

“You make my birthday girl so happy, especially the Unicorn. Make her birthday for this year sweet...it really makes her enjoy this lonely birthday becomes a joyful one“

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

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

“We love everything about this place

You feel like family coming here. The ingredients are so delicious and my stomach feels just fine after eating the pizza.

From garden veggie to pesto to chicken, it’s all good!“

“Stopped by recently on a hot summer day for some gelato. Talk about a perfect repast to beat the summer heat. I had hazelnut and mango, and the portions are very generous. I didn't ask, but I think they make the cones in-house. Anyway, strange combination, I know. The mango was immediately delicious but I think I messed up combining the two because when it came time for the hazelnut, I was too full to truly enjoy the depth of flavor. Next time, I'll get it to take home. I love the location, it's in one of my favorite areas of San Rafael with shopping, good food and entertainment in abundance. Haven't had the pizza yet, but I'm a New Yorker and we're picky about our slices!“

“We took the ferry to Sausalito on a cold, windy day, but there was no way we were skipping Lappert's.

The staff was incredibly patient and kind with our kids as they asked to sample what felt like half the menu before finally making their decisions. They never seemed rushed and made the experience fun for the whole family.

Every flavor we tried was fantastic. Not a single one disappointed. Our son loved his ice cream so much that he went back for seconds, while our daughter and I both happily ended up with two scoops.

When ice cream is this good, the weather doesn't matter. Lappert's was one of the highlights of our day in Sausalito and easily some of the best ice cream we've had. If you're visiting, don't miss it.“

“Had a really great experience here today. Had a nice chat with one of the owners and was so pleased to see incredible vegan choices here along with the dairy options. So tasty and I really missed waffle cones! I'll have to come back for an ice cream sandwich.“

“Beat topping selections, and the yogurt is high-quality.“

“One of the best! We love Easy Breezy because of their delicious toppings, but they don’t always have the best ice cream flavors. One time we went and they didn’t even have chocolate or vanilla at all! But still, overall their frozen yogurt is amazing! We recommend it for family’s who have free time. 😁 ( This was written by my 6 year old! )
Thank you!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Good. Then we sharpen, not add.

Here’s your top 1% elite version. Cleaner, more precise, one stronger visual line:

You come for a crepe. You forget to rush.

Millie’s Crêpe et Crème sits inside the Mill Valley Lumberyard, quietly confident. A small window, patterned tiles, handwritten menus. Nothing competing for attention.

The crepes are the point. Thin, warm, just crisp at the edges. Sweet or savory, done properly without trying to impress. Organic wheat or buckwheat, and the gluten-free option feels intentional.

The details carry it. Buffalo milk soft serve from Double 8 Dairy. Coffee from Signal in Berkeley. Paper plates turned into menu cards, casually lined up behind the counter like a still life that happens to be useful.

Then the courtyard. Wooden tables, string lights, a slow rotation of dogs and locals who already know. You sit down for a few minutes and time softens around you.

It doesn’t announce itself.
It simply gets it right.“

“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.“
