26 Best Ice Cream Shops near Larkspur

“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“

“delicious 😋 food. The chicken sandwich was off the hook“

“Historically best ice cream in SF!“

“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.“

“Da Giuseppe Nardoni: fantastici cannoli cosi in Californiana non li mangi, con ricotta fresca siciliana“

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

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

“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“

“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!“

“One of the last gems of San Francisco, a treasure to be remember as the times change and people become more picky. Those who don't know this history should know that Gelato Classico was a chain that has been around since the 80s slowly dissolving until this was the last location left in downtown. I hope people start to appreciate the history of this great city as it is slowly eroded away by time and gentrification. Some of the best gelato you can get in America hands down. Please go and support this business and Trader Vics/Cordon Blue if you are a local or a tourist! Keep the memories alive, you wont regret it!“

“I used to get Yomie’s in SoCal, and it was a yummy alternative to boba when I wanted something different. The yogurt smoothies at the North Beach location taste pretty similar but seem to be blended a little thicker. I got the passion fruit smoothie with less sugar and purple rice as a topping, and it was very filling. Definitely recommend as a drinkable snack.“

“So yummy ! Choose any cookies and any ice cream flavor.“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“Delicious Harvey Milk and Peanut Butter. As good as it gets.“

“Came in later at night for some ice cream and was served quickly a with a smile. The ammeretto flavor was great! I wish I got a picture of our ice cream but it was gone before I could think about it!

Kid-friendliness: Great place to take a kid!

Wheelchair accessibility: Right walkway but is manageable“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“My favorite food is everything on the menu“
