“A fantastic endearing Ice-cream tasting & eating experience that causes you to marvel at the stature that Ice-cream making has come to acquire can indeed be felt on the palate with every Icecream flavor at PINTS OF JOY. The service with Smiles & Excitement & warmth of the Servers caught my attention. It made the experience all the more endearing. I tried many & loved the Jalebi with Malai Kulfi Ice-cream. A remarkable unique Indian Ice-cream. As an Indian American I feel immensely proud to see the popularity this Ice-cream has come to acquire in the heart of Silicon Valley! This Ice-cream venture is showcasing India Impressively internationally: tickling the taste buds!“

The staff is great it’s always clean and the service is wonderful! Just a great all around pick for a delicious dessert spot !🍨“

“The best worst flavor
They have abominations like habanero with berries and strawberries with pepper and balsamic, for the bold.

The rest of less weird combinations are just delicious, vanilla bean with sea salt and caramel, lavender, chocolate brownie.

Generous portions and long line on weekends, try them on off-peak hours and you can have a couple of tastes“

“Walked over for a treat after lunch at a nearby cafe. And was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. I got the chocolate with Nutella. So good. Lines were much shorter than other ice cream spots in the area and it was a nice walk to get there.“

“LOVED my dubai chocolate gelato.

the sorbet had a robust, chewy texture. the pistachio bits were h*lla crunchy. strawberries and pistachio cream were the perfect counterbalance.

i am excited to go back and try more flavors. i appreciate that they had 6 vegan options, and many other more unique varieties, such as kahlua dutch almond.

the workers were very kind. a welcome addition to the area!“

“Great place good ice-creams Many ice creams choices“

“We worked with the SF Gelateria team for our wedding in Sonoma and it was a big hit! There was a large selection of flavors and they were responsive and easy to work with. Pricing was more reasonable than other vendors in the Sonoma / Napa area. Only wish that I had a chance to try all 7 flavors on the night of (or asked for a to-go container). Would definitely work with them again.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at UME! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, you can really tell they care about quality and detail. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal or something special, UME is a place I’d highly recommend. I’m already looking forward to coming back!“

“Moist Cookies they be having some good flavors some really be nasty tho“

“Love their flavors and their ice cream isn’t overly sweet. Just the right amount where you can still taste the actual flavor and not just the sugar. Very creamy and all around delicious!“

“The first Somi I ever went to! Cool to see that they've now expanded to many more locations across the country and every one I've tried is consistent in quality.

I recommend their upside-down with nutella/red bean fill + any soft serve flavor of your choice. Their individual taiyaki is also delicious and served fresh.

There's often a line during peak hours, but it moves quickly! The storefront itself is super small but there's plenty of seating outside. Never had issues parking in the Main St structure; however, street parking can be hard around mealtimes.“

“son muy ricos los helados 😋“

“The best yogurt 🍦, at woodside Rd“

“Among all of us we had the Rose, Kulfi, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, and also the puppy icecream. All the flavors were really nice and you could see real vanilla bean powder, nuts in the different flavors. Pepper did not stop licking till her icecream was done and then was looking for more. The people behind the counter were very friendly and kind to our chaos. We will definitely be going back.“

“Muy rico, me encanto todo lo k compre pero especialmente las fresas con crema,“

“We went all in with Strawberry Fresca, Mocha Almond Fudge, and Caramello Chocolate Crunch, basically three separate scoops of happiness. The flavors are rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, like they’ve been training for the Gelato Olympics. Bonus points for the friendly vibe and that classic Castro Street energy.“

“Lovely owner and delicious frozen yogurt with probiotics :)“

“I tried Biscuit Sulbing. Sulbing Cafe is a must-try! Their shaved ice is incredibly flavorful and refreshing. It is on the pricier side, but the taste and quality make it worth it. Even after finishing a full bowl, it feels light and not heavy at all.“

“I saw a worker from another place come back from break holding a churro. I had to ask where, this shop was two doors down. First I ordered the churro and then I saw the fun ice cream varieties. Settled on a refreshing soursop, it had seeds! My friend got a dried fruit and he said that grew on him. There are many other flavors to try next time. Service was nice, there are a couple of tables to sit and eat other snacks that they make as well. PS the churros were OK, crispy and sweet but the middle was not as crispy as fresh out of a fry vat in Mexico.“

“Excellent food, excellent taste reasonable price“

“Ran in for a milkshake and was in and out quickly. Girl was alone and doing a great job. As always, great ice cream!“

“Amazing sandwiches and bread!!!!“

“The best Sandwich in 100 miles! Been coming here ever since it opened and will continue to eat delicious sandwiches for years to come. NOM NOM NOM.“

“Lots of unique flavors. It’s so good.“

“Shakes and good breakfast“

“it's the best ice cream i have ever had. evan the flavers they have had that doesent sound like it would be good .. is real good. and they give you samples if you want to try a flavor before you buy it.“

“The staff here is always friendly and helpful. They always find a way to accommodate a request even if it is last minute. For example they took care of me on Saturday when I needed a cake for my son's birthday party on Sunday without any complaints even though I was the one asking late. At the Santa Cruze Ave location in Menlo Park I was told that all I could so was choose from what was in the display fridge. Props to Carlos at the EPA location who even gave me his personal cell to make sure everything was seamless! And the cake was super yummy as well!!!“

“I absolutely love this place! my go to is the Oreo milkshake with a chocolate/banana crepe on the side.. everyone is always so kind as soon as you walk through the door :) Would recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a sweet delicious snack near Menlo Park. The best thing is that they have two locations!“

“Review for Bellaroma Gelato** I recently had the pleasure of trying Bellaroma’s gelato, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best treats I’ve ever enjoyed! The flavors are rich, creamy, and perfectly crafted — I especially loved the Stracciatela and mango, which had that perfect balance of sweetness and depth. Every spoonful felt like a little moment of happiness, made with so much care and quality ingredients. What makes Bellaroma stand out even more is their warm, welcoming atmosphere and the friendly staff. Posting my experience on their site was easy and made me feel like part of their gelato-loving community. I highly recommend giving it a try — it’s a wonderful place to indulge and create sweet memories. I can’t wait to go back for more!“

“One of the best ice cream experiences I’ve had! The chocolate ice cream at CREAM is on another level—rich, creamy, and full of intense flavor that hits just right. You can tell they don’t cut corners on quality. The texture is smooth and satisfying, and every bite tastes like pure chocolate bliss. Staff was super friendly and the whole vibe of the shop made it feel like a treat in every sense. If you’re a chocolate lover, this place is a must-visit!“

“Must try🍨
Hot fudge sundae
2 scoops :
Tahitian vanilla
Chocolate covered strawberries ( fav)

You can ask them to add warmed up brownie!!

They do have a punch card!!“

“I had the pleasure of visiting this ice cream shop recently and I must say, it was an experience worth sharing. The variety of flavors was impressive, each one seeming more tempting than the last. I finally settled for their signature as the employee gave me a sample of a scoop of their signature flavor and it was absolutely delightfulBut what truly set this visit apart was the exceptional customer service. A young employee went above and beyond to ensure my experience Their enthusiasm was infectious, and recommendations were spot on.Overall 10/10!I recommend UBE and Biscoff“

“I ordered through DoorDash and both things I ordered were really good and filling. The elote I feel isnt worth the cost of the size. I can pay less and get it from a street vendor. It satisfied my craving and tasted great though but wont order it again from here.

The Churrito bubble waffle was very good and being so hot outside it cooled be down. I dont think it's worth the cost either though. They give you half a churro and one scoop of ice cream. I can buy a bubble waffle somewhere else and a small pint of ice cream for same price.

So be aware that the food is good but you are better off going to downtown San Jose to La michoacana ice cream parlor. This place is just convenient that’s about it.“

“We literally take every single visitor from out of town, to this place! Our guests can go see the Golden Gate Bridge on their own, they can take in the whole of the city, but the one thing we insist on doing with them, is a visit to "the best ice cream anywhere."“

“Yummy in the tummy !! ;) <3“

“Even with my limited Spanish the ladies were very nice and helped me order a delicious fresh made agua Fresca. They used actual blended mango rather than just powder and it was just the right amount of sweetness. Clean nice place and super reasonably priced go support!“

“I look forward to the Mitchell's ice cream at Scoop, and a HUGE variety of flavors. I stop by whenever I visit Palo Alto (from up the Peninsula). All of the employees (except one who plays such obnoxious music that even I won't go inside the store) are exceptionally nice and helpful. Otherwise, the music played in very entertaining and appropriate. And they DO give samples! But not until after you buy, and they call it something else besides a sample. It's a sad fact that here in San Mateo there is NO good ice cream place, either Downtown or near Downtown. Perhaps Scoop could consider expanding northward (hoping they read this glowing review).“

“It taste good“

“Love the drive-thru! My favorite bc that’s special!“

“I recently visited this place and had an amazing experience! I ordered the Tostitos con elotes and it was incredibly delicious. The service was top-notch and the ladies at the counter were super friendly. I'll definitely be back for more!“

“That good place ion customer service nice“

“निर्वाण NIRVANA is a Hindi Word that means: Bliss. A State of Bliss is what Even Abraham Maslow laid out in his Need Hierarchy if you are or were a Student of MANAGEMENT STUDIES. Maslow called it SELF ACTUALIZATION which is NIRVANA. Gautam Buddha & Mahaveer Two Ancient Indian Sages Achieved NIRVANA. It is No Small Accomplishment. HENCE to know How An Indian Ice-cream Company is able to package & sell NIRVANA to Taste & Achieve we set out for Sunnyvale, CA to see for ourselves how we could Achieve that high point for a few Dollars & Taste. Our Day Today Ended at A NIRVANA High Point over Icecream! Not many people know but India had Icecream long before it ever was known in the West. Kulfi & Falooda are Icecream that are an Indian Treasure from the Time of MUGHAL EMPERORS & that dates back to 500+ Years!!! Both these Two Ancient Icecreams are represented in the picture along with Our American Child’s desire for Cookies & Cream in the other 3rd Cup.👆(my wife & I achieved Nirvana over our Traditional picks, the Child felt Cookies & Cream are yet better done by Häagen-Dazs….you see History takes a while for Gen Z to assimilate 😉“

“There was a long line when I went and it baffles me that people don’t know how to use a kiosk. I got the blueberry and mango matcha, it was very good! The orange mochi was okay… it was a dry clementine and I was not aware there would be red bean as the display did not have red bean in it. I’m not a huge fan of red bean. We also cut it in the wrong direction, so it doesn’t look appetizing, but it wasn’t too bad! I would give the mochi another try, just not the orange one. Lost 1 star because of the red bean.“

“The young ladies there are so very helpful! They are kind enough to heat up my bread and they seem happy to be there.“

“Pretty decently good froyo- what you’d expect. Not self-serve, not many flavor options. But what’s there are good options in my opinion. I got pomegranate and original (I was asked if I wanted them in a swirl or separate) with mochi toppings. The mochi topping was good quality- soft and squishy, not hardened like some other places. I have come here a few times before over the years and you can expect the quality standards to be the same every time. Dependable good froyo place.
Tiny space with some seating options outside.“
