18 Best Ice Cream Shops near Greenbrae

“I can’t believe how good the pizza is. Top quality. Comparable to A16 in terms of texture and ingredients. No cardboard crusts here. And the prices? They are from a parallel universe as they are UNBELIEVABLY LOW! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“The Ghirardelli Chocolate Experience in San Francisco is an absolute must-visit! The moment you walk in, the smell of rich chocolate fills the air and instantly makes you happy. Their hot chocolate is out of this world — thick, velvety, and perfectly balanced between sweetness and deep cocoa flavor. It’s easily one of the best hot chocolates I’ve ever had, especially on a cool San Francisco day. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and the whole experience feels indulgent and special. A perfect stop for any chocolate lover!“

“Great little ice cream shop, they have a great selection of ice creams, as well as hot and cold drinks. The ice creams are some of the best I have ever had, and they do a great hot fudge sundae. The service is great, prices are good and I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the Fishermans Wharf area of San Francisco.“

“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“

“Heads up: cash only!
My favorite ice cream place. Specifically this location. Must-try flavor: vanilla honey lavender! Real, local lavender flowers throughout. Delightful. Magic!
I got a “double” scoop in a bowl (allows 1-4 flavors) to split with a friend the other day. We tried lemon poppyseed, Moroccan mint tea, and vanilla honey lavender. Would not recommend the lemon poppyseed- tasted a bit artificial. Moroccan mint tea was ok but tasted much more like mint chocolate chip than tea and the flavor paled in comparison to my favorite: vanilla honey lavender, which was outstanding per usual.
Tiny shop with charming pictures of local community up on the walls. There’s minimal seating inside and outside so you may have to walk with your ice cream.“

“Ice cream is great! Servers are really rude and yell at the customers though. If I came here for ice cream after a long day, their attitudes would send me over the edge. Instead of yelling “NEXT!” They could probably say “I could help you over here!” with a smile and a wave.“

“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!“

“Loved my ice cream sandwich- such a fun dessert business! Very nice woman working the day we came. I do wish there were 2 gluten free cookie options and at least 2 gluten free ice cream options. It looked like there would be more variety on the website, but the day I went, there was only a chocolate chip cookie and a non dairy chocolate chip ice cream- would have loved to have chocolate or other options! Very delicious though!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The ice cream here is very good but it is very expensive as the same time. It was $15 for two single scoop cones. I got the chocolate peanut butter which is chocolate ice cream with peanut butter fudge chunks. It was one of my favorite ice cream flavors I’ve had in a while. The service here is very quick as well. I would definitely recommend this place and would return.“
