23 Best Ice Cream Shops in Oakland

“I love Lana's! It's my favorite ice cream shop - so much so I went there for my birthday. The staff are super friendly and the flavors are superb. Banana Oreo and Lilikoi (passion fruit) are definitely my favorite. Shout out to the crew today for keeping my pint cold as I ate my waffle cone outside :)“

“There isn't a bad item you could order at Curbside. The fresh waffle cones really take me for a spin, they alone can be eaten and loved without anything extra! But fortunate for us, we also get tasty, rotating soft serve flavors to fill them with. Also, the variety of vegan ice creams is excellent for my wife. The ice cream sandwiches are awesome. Just such a great little walk up ice cream spot, a necessity when in the neighborhood for dinner.“

“Delicious ice cream with very fun flavor options and best of all, NO LACTOSE! Even the classic vanilla was one of the best vanillas I’ve had :)

I think all ice cream stores should sell lactose free ice cream!

(not vegan or dairy free, just no lactose)“

“I took my nephew here because he was craving a banana split , it was very clean inside and customer service was great and employee named Rosalita serviced us. we got a banana split , 2 scoops of ice cream plus a mangonada all of it was good especially my ice cream of Ferrero rocher it was our first time there and my nephews enjoyed watching other locations in different states while I enjoyed the reggaeton music playing. We will definitely be going back soon. Definitely recommend taking kids here“

“Was in the area and did a search for ice cream. This place popped up and I decided to check it out. The vibe from the staff is great. The flavors are nice and different, the finish of the ice cream is fresh. No lingering fattiness or artificial viscosity.

Will definitely come back if I'm in the area and want ice cream. Store is clean and bright, plenty of natural light and simple decor. The production area is clearly visible so you can see they're proud of what they're doing. I recommend this place.“

“delicious ice cream and everything“

“Great product. Pleasant and helpful staff.“

“Our first visit but absolutely not our last! What delicious flavors! Everyone loved their desserts, the toppings are incredible (vegan hot fudge, vegan caramel, toasted almonds,) and we all left full and happy! Definitely stop in when you’re in the neighborhood!“

“Awesome I had the grapefruit and orange drink and I can't wait to come back to try something else. My youngest daughter loved the Oreo shake, my oldest daughter loved her chai tea and their dads kiwi slushy was also delicious. I'd love to try their ice creams next and can't wait for another hot day to come in.“

“I adore their Hong Kong Milk Tea icecream! � I am transported back to childhood love of milk tea and cookies!!“

“soooooooooo........goooooood 😋🤤💯❤ All the Cookie dough and Hot Chocolate 💯❤🤤😋“

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

“This is my favorite boba spot in oakland. I usually get the grass jelly milk tea with boba and oatmilk and it is suuper refreshing! Just the right amount of sweetness. Their boba AND grass jelly is my favorite out of many places in the Bay Area, being chewy & soft. I’m not really sure how to describe the consistency lol but the flavor of both is great! Sweet but not TOO sweet.

The service is great too. They seem organized and well structured, always kind and helpful.

No place to sit in case you’re looking for that. Pay with cash and pay a tiny bit less.“

“I usually stop for a shake or packed ice cream. The sundaes are very good but with a quart of ice cream I can tell myself I'm not eating it all in one go. (A lie!). They also have coffee, doughnuts and some hot breakfast sandwiches so not just a dessert place. Friendly owners I always enjoy visiting with.“

“When schools were open, I would stop here with my sons on the way home. We are from Puerto Rico so we were super excited to see mamey, guanabana and guava ice cream made with real fruit. We would buy something to eat on the way home and extra for the rest of the family. Their Mangonadas are huge, packed with fresh mango, refreshing and super delicious. We usually share them! My go to snack is the Elote (in a cup). Every time family is in town, we take them here.When the schools were open, I would stop here with my children on the way home.

“I love this place so much. They have the best breakfast sandwiches and the best movies in my area. They also offer a variety of drinks such as soda tea orange juice any kind of juice coffee donuts and chips. They also offer a different variety of breakfast sandwiches. They have several tables and chairs for dine in. They have a bathroom all the way in back of the store that is pretty decent. The owners are really friendly and kind. They will make your breakfast sandwich however you asked for it.“

“Vegan Donut Gelato is PHENOMENAL! My wife and I loved our brief stop this week. The donuts are massive and well worth the price. Friendly service and the woman who served us was great. Highly recommended!“

“A quiet and family neighborhood with awesome collection of boutique shops and stores for the family!!“

“I absolutely love this place! I had the best fish sandwich I've had in a long time. I was just driving by when I noticed this restaurant, so I decided to stop and order their fish sandwich with a meal. They give you a bag full of fries, and everything was delicious. The sandwich was great, the fish was tasty, and the sauce was perfect—no complaints whatsoever.

I'm planning to go back very soon to try everything on the menu. I still need to sample their milkshakes and ice cream, but I didn't have a chance on this visit. Overall, the food I had was stunning. The fries were fresh, hot, and crispy, and I really appreciate how generous they are with the portion. I can't wait to go back!“

“I bring out-of-towners to this place to impress them. I love the ice cream sandwiches (yuppie prices, but good) - they make the cookie part soft and thin, so it works well with the large chunk of ice cream. The cookie selection is always really great - I love the snowcap cookie and traditional chocolate chip. Went with my friend and he dies for the malt milkshake. I usually walk home after so I don't feel so bad.“

“The best donuts ?!! I love them, the donuts are prepared daily, they are fresh, forget about buying hard donuts HERE THEY ARE ALWAYS FRESH!! There is variety, but I like the chocolate ones ?‍↔️ Customer service is nice.

Pd. They also sell breakfast and coffee.“
