50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Mill Valley

“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.“

“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!! 🎉🙌🏼🥰🎉🥳“

“Historically best ice cream in SF!“

“Marshmallow fluff;) Loved the Milkbomb sandwich! Will definitely go again;)“

“We love this ice cream place not just because of their delicious flavors. They always have, or because of the monthly new flavors that they cook up all the time. But we also love it because they always have vegan options. We don’t do well with dairy, so we’re always willing to take dairy pills to have these delicious flavors. But we also love that they are vegan flavors are also high-quality! It’s nothing fancy, it’s just ice cream. But they do it very well.“

“i’ve been going to this place since i was a child it was originally named fat ladys on the corner of fillmore and Mr Tom opened more stores and closed my childhood store and renamed it.. but i grow up in the area and still come here like i did as a kid💯🖤🖤 my best memories are the 5 cent pack of banana now or later and penny candy 😘😘😘🖤🖤“

“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.“

“fabulous! please open another in the San Jose area. great service..the way they encourage you to taste while waiting in line...loved the various, different flavors“

“Yummm. Try the sf cheesecake and the bubbly Texan“

“Great experience at this spot. They have maintained the same experience with some decent updates since the last time I visited this place 20 years ago ! The Dubai chocolate was a great addition. It was super crowded and totally worth the wait“

“One of our favorite spots in the Richmond. Sean and Alice are as terrific as their ice cream!“

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

“The most delicious, fresh, and hand-crafted gelato I’ve ever tasted. You must try! Thank you Philmore!!! Can’t wait to come again!“

“Yummm. Try the sf cheesecake and the bubbly Texan“

“Had an amazing experience at Frankie & Jo’s this weekend. Incredible customer service and super helpful on letting me know what is in the ice cream and detailed on how the flavors taste like. The employee who helped me out was Lara and she was very nice, patient, and great with kids. Highly recommend this place to anyone in the area either visiting or a local resident.“

“Loved the crepes and service!

Crepes were soft and fluffy. We got #28 which had coffee icecream and pudding. Was a unique combo but both flavors paired well together.

The bear face was adorable (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠) ʕ⁠´⁠•⁠ᴥ⁠•⁠`⁠ʔ“

“Happiness in a cup. And a cone 😁“

“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!“

“The ice cream is amazing! I’m a sucker for Juliette’s Vanilla malt milkshake. Never too full for one of those!“

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

“Always a good experience, everything is very good especially their TaroMatcha drink, one of my favorites. Rated 4 stars though I'm pretty bummed out we drove 20 minutes because I really didn't want to leave the city without getting one of my favorite drinks. Got their 20 minutes before closing just to be told that they stopped making drinks 30 minutes before they close. Let them know that's pretty messed up especially since it's not stated anywhere and drove all the way there for nothing. Was only told to come by 1 hr before closing lol wanted it so bad I could taste it 😭 if you know you know.“

“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“

“Got an ice cream sandwich with their house cookies and ice cream $8 - cookies and cream cookies with earl grey ice cream. The earl grey was yummy and I wish it could be stronger. The cookies were just okay, too fluffy and not enough cookie bits. Very nice staff who helped us just before closing.“

“Word of mouth is a spectator thing! My son walked to our table with this caramel number & the people behind us were enamored. He took one bite & looked over at them after they commented on how delicious it looked & they were sold. Nuff said. Great job, you guys!“

“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.“

“Their service and their soft serve is amazing! I always stop by their store when I'm in the area! 😀“

“the matcha TEA drink was super yummy I liked it a lot. However, the ube matcha latte was not it… I couldn’t only taste the ube and it was pretty sweet. If u are looking for a strong matcha drink, don’t get the ube LOL. On a side note, the ice cream was a major plus, very strong flavor and not a puny little serving!
P.S. this location did not have a crazy long line and the order is prepared super quickly“

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

“Came on a Thursday night after seeing the Dates Pizza on TikTok—such a wild combo that I had to try it. It was incredible: like a fresh, vibrant salad wrapped in world-class pizza bread. We also had the meatballs and the pepperoni with sweet chili, and both were just as good. Fantastic service and a cozy, intimate vibe.“

“gluten free, vegan, coconut based froyo! yum!“

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

“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 👏🏻“

“Mangonada, nieve de garrafa, raspados, bionicos, tostilocos, tejuinos“

“They are clean and organized and the prices are fair, especially being in the tenderloin where the struggle and homelessness is really the over all attraction. But one employee just doesn't seem to be happy. He doesn't smile is unfriendly and somewhat rude!! And the other one is completely the opposite. But over all I enjoyed there food... And definitely there milkshakes are a must have. I will be a consistent customer since I'm new to the area!“

“First time having shaved ice cream. It was Tachata which is cinnamon vanilla. Texture and taste was outstanding.“

“Talk about a hidden gem in the slums of downtown San Francisco! For a corner store they sure do have an amazing food selection. Went to go get pizza across the street around midnight and they just closed, went here instead and got some fruit salad and fettuccine. They had kebabs, wings, pasta salads etc and it all looked super fresh.

Great place to go for quick meals to take back to your hotel if you’re staying nearby.“

“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.“

“Delicious rolled ice cream with free toppings!!! Yummm!!!“

“Really solid spot in Saluhall. $5 for a big bowl of vegan sorbet, the strawberry was really nice and refreshing and not too sweet. Comes with unlimited toppings as well.

If you are in Saluhall, worth checking out in my opinion for the price point.“

“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.“

“Great little find while touring the city! Had to stop by three times in two days. Fantastic sandwich’s and great pastries.“

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

“好味好味，綠茶同芝麻都好味。“

“Toy Boat not only has delicious ice cream and a grand selection of Jane products, and an excellent cup of coffee; they are also incredibly cute and welcoming! The perfect place to bring the family!“

“What a delicious treat! My brother brought us to Golden Gate Park and as we were walking around, we came across the Twirl & Dip food truck. My brother said it was one of his favourite places to get ice cream, so we had to try it. I got the TCHO-dipped banana with sprinkles! The chocolate layer was thick 😋 It was the perfect dessert for a sunny day ☀️
