50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Millbrae

“Yomie's is an Australian chain that's been establishing itself in the US. I first tried them when they opened up in Denver and this location is conveniently located near SFO.

They've changed their menu a bit over the years and got rid of some of my favorite drinks, but overall their mix of rice, yogurt, fruit, and teas gives them some unique options compared to regular Boba tea shops.

Quality here is great and you definitely should stop by to try out some of their items.“

“I love this place for ice cream cakes, I love this place for the service, and I absolutely love them for how much my kids love them!

If only they could bring back Mississippi mud I could give you six stars. 🤭

“Traveled from Texas and loved my experience . Enjoyed the customer service and of course enjoyed my Sandia Agua and freshly cut fruit… highly recommend 🤩 🍉!!!“

“Best gelato I’ve had in a very long time!! The team there is so kind and helpful. You can tell the owner loves what he does and is very proud of his work. Fair prices. Delicious flavors and so many options. I love that it is all made from scratch as well. The best flavors were the Belgian chocolate and the pistachio. Can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Half Moon Bay!! Highly recommend.“

“Must try Affogato!! Espresso poured over Vanilla ice cream or over your favorite ice cream. Delicious 😋“

“The kind worker, Amir was really welcoming and thoughtful. He gave my friend a strawberry and chocolate cup when I got the Dubai chocolate one because she was allergic to pistachio. Even though she couldn’t eat it in case of cross contamination, it’s the thought that really mattered to us. The froyos we got were really good. Definitely recommend!! 10/10“

“Phil Taylor is a wonderful Host. He cordially welcomes songwriters from all over the globe to perform songs in the round style. It’s a great way to share one’s music and meet other like minded folks. I had a wonderful time 1/7/23. Looking forward to a future opportunity to perform my music. I definitely recommend this group.“

“I love supporting small businesses and this place is the Best! I love their Lavazza cappuccino and pastries especially the cannolis! Got to try the vegetariana sandwich today and it was the best vegetarian sandwich I’ve had! Super cute spot and very kind people!“

“Enjoyed the pineapple fruit juice beverage with Pomegranate pearls on a hot day in San Francisco“

“This is a charming ice cream shop on broadway Burlingame. They have a great selection of tasty hand crafted ice creams, yogurts , sorbets, chocolates and candies. It's an ice cream shop that fulfill the most posh of taste. My favorite is the Ube ice cream . Its so luscious , thick and creamy texture with a mellow, subtle nutty, and a hint of vanilla flavor. Location is great. It's on broadway Burlingame next to Walgreens. Meter spots , parking lots , and 2 hrs of free parking available. Cute ambience and the entire staff is attentive and welcoming.“

“It’s really creamy delicious! Highly recommended. 😋“

“good Italian ice cream so good“

“Great service, delicious treats, and lovely patio for outdoor dining💕“

“I’ve had a great experience every time I’ve eaten at Crumble, and I’ve been eating here frequently for about 2 years now. Hands down. The cookies are so good , the ones I’m trying for the first time or the regular cookies they have . They are always fresh. No matter if you get the big size cookie or want to go with their mini. I usually buy a dozen of the minis or a box or 6 because, come on now. There’s no way I can only actually eat one or 2. I think mini is the perfect size. . So i highly recommend you stopping by a crumble location or ordering it for delivery. So I give 5 stars for here and can’t wait to get my 10 points for writing my review on here because that means I’m 10 points extra on getting my free cookie from there ! 😃“

“Many different flavors for yogurt. Try them they're delicious.“

“Great Milkshakes and cookies“

“This place is WONDERFUL! The paletas come in dozens of flavors, and all that we have tried so far are delicious. (If you aren't familiar with a paleta, it’s like an ice cream, or a popsicle, or a combination of both on a stick, but with added goodies like fresh fruits, even a whole Oreo, maybe alcohol extracts flavors, bubblegum, you name it!) IAuthentic. Just like from fresh from Michoacán!“

“se te hace agua la boca 🤤 The food is BOOOOMB, bomb.com!!! The Crepes are AMAZING 🤩 The esquites are magically delicious 😋 and the customer service is great 👍🏻 super friendly and nice. Definitely our favorite place to snack at whenever we are in San Francisco“

“Great place, and self serve so the kids portion are appropriately sized.“

“Yummy vegan flavors: today I had a combo of pear/Riesling & pineapple/hibiscus 🌺 Melinda is one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever met! Let’s us take our time & gives us samples til we’ve decided. The shop is so blessed to have her.“

“Awesome liquid to frozen rolled ice cream.“

“This place doesn’t look like a place trying to impress anyone. It looks like a shop that has been doing one thing long enough to know what shortcuts ruin. The counter is small, the room unadorned, the kind of space where quality hides in plain sight because the people making it assume you’ll figure it out on your own.

Cannoli demand precision. If the shell softens, you failed. If the filling weeps, you rushed. If the ricotta is grainy or heavy or over-sugared, you didn’t understand its behavior under temperature and time. Romolo’s gets all of this right.

The shells are made the way people make things they intend to stand behind. Not brittle, not oily, not collapsing under pressure. They have that snap you only get when dough has been rolled to the correct thickness and fried at the right temperature, long enough to blister but not blister apart. You can tell someone here still listens to the sound of the shell when it cools.

The filling is clean, balanced, and confident. No perfumed overcompensation. No reckless sweetness meant to distract from inferior ricotta. This is filling made by people who understand ratio and restraint. The texture stays smooth because the ricotta was drained properly, not hurried. There’s discipline in that step alone. Most places skip it. Romolo’s doesn’t.

What impressed me most is how the cannoli hold structure on the way home. Ricotta interacts with pastry the way moisture interacts with almost anything that should remain crisp: it wants to weaken it. But Romolo’s fills to order, and they fill with judgment. Enough to satisfy, not enough to compromise the shell before you get to experience the contrast that makes cannoli worth eating in the first place.

The people behind the counter treat you the way good shops do. Direct, warm in a grounded way, the kind of friendliness that seems rooted in pride more than choreography. They hand over the box carefully, as if they know what they made can survive the trip but also know that respect is part of the craft.

This place doesn’t rely on nostalgia or theatrics. It relies on technique. On the quiet confidence of a place that has figured out what works and kept doing it. You taste repetition, patience, and the refusal to let a simple dessert become sloppy.

If you want a cannoli that proves why the thing exists at all, this is the place“

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

“Great place for Asian drinks!“

“the ice cream barista Alexander remembered that I have a habit of ordering my dulce de leche milkshake, paying for it, and coming back to pick it up a couple minutes later (because i need to pick up my shake shack order from downstairs). I just like it when ppl remember my specific order Alexander is a real one. W barista, W milkshake frfr.“

“My go to flavor is pralines and cream. But my kids always have the chocolate shakes. This place always fills us with joy and sugar 🤣🤣.. gotta love it!!“

“I've been going here for a few days straight this week because who doesn't have a craving for a good sundae? Three scoop sundae for $10-$11, I think, is pretty standard nowadays. Surprisingly, this place was pretty busy both days I went. It's been super cold lately, too. The kiosk or place is generally clean. Both times, I wanted to try the waffle bowls, but I couldn't help but question if it's fresh? I was surprised they still had seasonal holiday flavors like peppermint.
The menu is pretty standard, and you can make a dazzler with any flavor ice cream you like. I only wished the people who worked there spoke English. I told the lady the first day I wanted a build your own dazzler/sundae, and we weren't understanding each other. To the point, I just told her the flavor brownie a la mode and had her choose the toppings.
The sundae itself melts fast because of the hot fudge, but I just love the yummy gooeiness of it all. Something about it is so comforting. Even as it melted, I drank every last drop like chocolate milk or a melted milkshake...good to the last drop.“

“If you're in the area and looking for takeout while on a budget this is a great option. The owner is very kind to all of her customers. She also gives very generous portions. The food is decent but the decor is dated. I wouldn't recommend dining in but she has a few chairs for you to sit on. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Support our local businesses especially ones that treat their guests very well like this one.

Kid-friendliness: She serves ice cream if you have very picky eaters with you.“

“Mr Nano and beautiful wife and family awesome crew awesome desserts awesome food what more can I say it reminded us of being back home in Hawaii the small shop with big personality and big plates of food just like back home thank you Mr Nano to you and your Ohana for receiving us and for having such a good hospitality keep up the good work and keep up the Beautiful Smiles much blessing to you and yours😊❤️“

“Good matcha ice cream, taste good!“

“Great desserts 🍨 good friendly service“

“First thing first the workers are really kind and yes one of the questions is what if you ask for a sample they will give you if you ask more than one you're the most much samples you could get is 3 and if you sign up they will give you a free a scoop of ice cream that is true that's not fake if you sign up at Baskin-Robbins they would give you one free scoop of ice cream and there are parking spots around it and there are a lot of other places close to it so yeah and overall the workers are really kind and the ice cream is really really delicious“

“The best ice cream ever <3.I love all the favorites.“

“Yummy in the tummy !! ;) <3“

“Sara’s cookies are amazing!!! Yum Yum Yum“

“Our friendly neighborhood ice cream shop full of delicious flavors (as expected from BR). Lots of flavors, lots of cones and decorative cups, and sundaes. They usually have 1-2 staff which can be under during busy hours but we generally go late in the evening when there is less traffic, so it’s prompt. There are plenty of ice cream cakes to go and a very cute guest seating arrangement.“

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“This spot is seriously a hidden gem. The sandwiches? Hands down the BEST in the Bay Area—no exaggeration. Fresh, stacked, flavorful, and made with real care… every single bite hits.
You can tell this place is family-owned because the energy is just different. It’s welcoming, it’s genuine, and it always feels like you’re walking into somewhere that actually appreciates you. Good vibes every time, no matter what.
If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out. This is the kind of place you go once and then suddenly it’s your regular spot. 10/10. You're welcome.“

“Fun people watching spot for casual meals/bites in the heart of Laurel! Can’t wait to try all of the gelato flavors.“

“tI was a hot late afternoon and we popped in for two double scoop dishes of ice cream. The sign is visible from the highway but to access the shoppe, requires driving behind the Burger King into the shopping complex. Jan ordered soy free carmel, and I ordered a blend of my favorite which is one scoop of chocolate, and one scoop of cherry. The service was prompt and the establishment clean.“

“Amazing! I will definitely be going back again soon“

“Cuppa is a neighborhood gem! They have awesome matcha and their food is awesome. Shoutout to their pricing as well. Way cheaper than the vast majority of boba shops in SF. Best spam Musubi and spicy crab Musubi! It’s a must try! The spicy crab fries are a must as well!

Did I mention they also have froyo?!! The only dole whip I’ve seen outside of Disneyland!“

“Ice cream flavors always made according to your request, taste fresh and the girl that served my daughter was very friendly , she even shared her some kpop souvenirs , did not expect that .Way to go ?, I keep coming back to see what more new flavors they have ?“

“The owners are awesome and I'd definitely come back again! :D“

“We got a table right away. Cool outdoor area and attractive inside with a real tree that’s lit up and little lights. Music was interesting and I liked the vibe. Half of the beers were out of stock. But the food was good. Yummy meatball appetizer and tasty pizzas. 👍“

“I like the bubble gum ice cream 🍦“

“Their pupusas are pretty tasty, the salsa and curtido as well. The older gentleman working there was nice enough, but there was a girl that didn’t respond in the slightest when I told her thank you and to have a nice day. I mean, I don’t care if she had a nice day. I was just being polite. And she didn’t even look at me throughout our interaction. Just handed me my food, with a sort of “hurry up and leave” attitude. I mean, she doesn’t have to look at me either. I know I’m hideous. I dunno, I’m from the midwest. People make eye contact and exchange niceties out there. I guess I won’t bother being polite here. No one cares anyway. Hahaha“

“Tea World is my favorite boba shop in Pacifica.“

“My absolute go-to spot on campus!
Incredibly good food, everything's made fresh and they are so fast. I can really recommend the special sandwiches or wraps for a healthy and tasty lunch. Or a toasted bagel if ur rushing to class. And the açaí will make your day! Have never found a better one anywhere else. Also love the staff, they always make me smile.“
