19 Best Ice Cream Shops near Greenbrae

“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!“

“We ordered Hot Brownie Fudge Sundae which was utterly delicious. The Hot Cocoa classic was good as well. The place was packed, so we waited for them to clear a table for two. You place your buzzer in the middle of your table, and someone brings your order.

Be warned that the prices are really high - nearly $19 for one sundae! This is a major tourist trap, in California, and you are paying for, well, the experience.“

“Delicious Filipino Ice Cream shop that’s tucked away across from Blue Mermaid. The cutest and sweetest owners and delicious ice cream at such a low price. This is a local shop I would recommend and support. Definitely coming back here when visiting SF in the future.“

“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.“

“Found this place walking by and was not disappointed!!! Good fresh cookies. The ice cream was delicious. I see some people complaining that the sandwiches aren't huge, but they're a good size and delicious. Super long line because one poor girl working by herself but she did amazing. Definitely a good dessert“

“Loved and had the California Cabin last evening, Friday 4/4/25. First time ever tasting Frankie & Jo’s ice cream—and which to my surprise an extremely kind couple in the shop picked up my tab. …My dog, Thank you Trip and Amy so much for treating me to a scoop! And to the founder and her business partner, and their whole creative team for making it! It’s almost like this flavor was designed with me in mind because I love a n y t h i n g (Doug Fir tea for example) with the smell And taste of the sweet outdoors. And it lives up to its description:
“A whimsical smoked vanilla & pine ice cream with bold, delicious black pepper cardamom shortbread cookie throughout.”

But most notably, while I enjoyed the ice cream’s unique flavor and unmatched creaminess, what I love and support the most about this new ice cream maker that hit California, is it’s the brainchild of someone, Autumn Martin, along with her business partner Kari Brunson Wright, and an entire support team—who truly care. Who care about their endeavors in this world and, by extension, their ice cream product being an intentional expression for Good. And let’s go a step farther and call this company what it is: a vital partner in the ever expanding food REVOLUTION, offering delicious-tasting and humane plant-based food that often, as in this case, rival and surpass their traditional Animal-based counterparts. And In my world as a lifelong Animal, and Food Animal advocate, and compassionate-care-focused veterinary nurse— where Animal welfare and health is my ultimate calling and passion— I can’t get behind this company enough! And so, Thank you Frankie & Jo’s for giving me the opportunity to take delight in eating ice cream & the joy in knowing I am not harming other living beings and the planet while doing so.“

“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“

“The Original Ghirardelli Chocolate & Ice Cream Shop at Ghirardelli Square is a must-visit for any sweet lover in San Francisco. We stopped by and treated ourselves to their famous hot fudge sundae—it was rich, indulgent, and absolutely worth it. The shop has a nostalgic charm, and you can watch them make chocolate in-store.

Tip: The prices are definitely on the higher side, but the portions are generous and the quality is top-notch. It can get crowded, so try to visit during off-peak hours for a shorter wait. A delicious and iconic San Francisco experience!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“They tast so so so good go get them now

Parking: It is very dig and nice I feel like it is always a parking spot

Kid-friendliness: Kids love it and they always are up for a treat with crumble cookies

Wheelchair accessibility: There is so much room in there for people that need it“

“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 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.“

“I loved working with Elizabetta for my birthday cake. She was super easy to communicate with and perfectly nailed my barbie cake fantasy complete with a quote from the movie. The cake itself was a work of art but the taste, omg, all my friends were floored. I've also been able to find her slices at Falletti Foods and love all the flavors. I do, however, go crazy for her basque cheesecake. I could have a whole one in one sitting. So luscious, creamy and delicious!“

“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.“
