46 Best Ice Cream Shops near Larkspur

“Well, Marin, you’ve been VERY disappointing in the vegan department, but Frankie & Jo’s single handedly makes up for it. This Seattle-based vegan ice cream company is all about quality—in flavors, texture, and product line—including ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, shortbread cookies, cookie dough to bake at home, and vegan pie crust. Haven’t met a flavor we didn’t like yet. Miso Moon is a standout. And their seasonal flavors are delish too.“

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

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

“Historically best ice cream in SF!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Good stuff, love nondairy options!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Written by my eight year old:
“Swirl is scrumptious and so refreshing on hot days. The flavors are yummy. My favorite is watermelon. It is smooth and tasty! I love it!” 😅 The new ownership has lowered the prices and also maintained a clean environment. The staff are all friendly local students which creates a familiar atmosphere, letting you enjoy delicious rotating ice cream and fro yo flavors.“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“Stopped in here to fulfill an ice cream after sushi craving. Loved this little store. The young woman behind the counter had some helpful flavor suggestions. Unique (butterfinger, whisky praline, drumstick, PB and j) but delicious flavors. Some classics too and even a sorbet for the dairy free visitor. Loved that they have a tiny cup option as well. Would love to come back to try more flavors.“

“Though this is the branch you’d want to visit, bear in mind that the inside looks very much different to some of the photos. They did a remodelling few years ago and with it some of the stuff like the famous chocolate fountain is gone😭

Same great quality and service though 👏🏻“

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

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

“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.“

“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 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.“

“The ice cream so refreshing and services are excellent! Strongly recommended when you’re in Chinatown 👍😋🍨🍨“

“My favorite food is everything on the menu“

“Awesome customer service!! Francesca and the other people working on the day of 10/10/2020 were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond in order to fulfill my cake request. Their actions are deeply appreciated and should be rewarded as they did more than just fulfilling the customer request, but also creating a meaningful experience throughout the process.“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Happiness in a cup. And a cone 😁“

“Great oldschool sandwiches... get a small because the mediums are huge lol. Unless you're hella hungry.“

“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.“

“I went here several times during my stay in SF: It stays open late so it's super convenient, and the server was lovely each time. Prices are decent for the size of the cookies, and they have a nice vegan selection which is great to see. A delicious late-night treat that I would recommend!“

“Visited for the first time and have to admit I was wary because of the reviews. Ended up talking with the owner for a few minutes and he was incredibly friendly. He's been running the place for 40 years. We talked about the history of the establishment and how he got into the gelato business. No rudeness and delicious gelato. The small seating area in the back was very nice for our small group. I would highly recommend it and plan to go back often.“

“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!! 🎉🙌🏼🥰🎉🥳“

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

“Great ice cream and wonderful store“

“Great little spot in North Beach. The gelato selection and quality is top notch, and their pistachio cannoli are awesome 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.“

“Ice cream! The staff was friendly and efficient. 😊“

“My first ALS symptom occurred in 2016, but was diagnosed in 2018. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn't walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatigue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then I decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Aknni herbs centre, It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit ww w. aknniherbscentre.c om). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and others.“

“Enjoyed it very much - great experience!“

“I'm so glad I visited this place on a beautiful sunny Sunday! Can't believe I always walked by it. It has an amazing selection of fine chocolates with excellent customer service! Will visit again to try out a couple more chocolate bars. A nice gem which showcases a variety of chocolates from around the world!“

“Food is really good! Service, is not perfect, but I can understand because people can be rude for no reason. They get a ton of food delivery orders, which is also great! However, they will not let you use the bathroom IF you are not a customer. I get that, but what if you happen to be working for a food delivery service and you're picking up for their customer?? 🤔 Nevertheless, I will continue to recommend them because they're food is always consistent and honestly, their service is really good!!“
