12 Best Ice Cream Shops in Palo Alto

“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.“

“Unique and quirky flavors. Not always up my alley but always something new. Service is always lovely and patient with you while you taste test and decide on your flavors which is so appreciated! I know it probably can get annoying…But honestly with a $10 2 scoop cone, I want to enjoy the ice cream especially when the flavor combinations are so unusual

Vegetarian options: There are vegan options“

“I love this place! It’s great to get Asian-flavored ice cream. Also their takoyakis are very good too! I like their custard takoyakis and their Oreo one. My boyfriend likes their Nutella one.

The ice cream’s also really great here too. They have a good milk ice cream. I also like their cookies and cream ice cream. They also change up the pairing of their swirls ice cream, so it’s nice to drop by and see which flavors they’ve paired up for swirls this time. I also like how they make the ice cream fancy. You can get a waffle fish on top of your ice cream. Also you can add toppings like sprinkles or Oreo crumbs. And like adding a cherry on top, you can add mini macaron or a strawberry.

The inside is new and clean. There’s not a lot of seating area on the inside, but it’s still pretty popular in the evenings and people just stand around on the inside or outside of the store.

The service is good. I like how you order at the kiosk ordering station. They can take some time to make the takoyakis, but you can watch them make the takoyakis from behind the glass at the counter. Also since this place is so popular you sometimes have to wait for them to make your ice cream too, but I don’t mind the wait because their ice cream concoctions are worth it.

“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.“

“Shakes and good breakfast“

“Mid Dec2024 Trendy American burger and shakes resto which has a global presence.

This particular outlet is just about the standard Shake Shack joint. One of the new offerings are various more upscale offerings and state centric menu tweaks. Shake Shack is also venturing to alcoholic drinks.

Counter service is pretty standard with most of the attention behind the operations and expectedly lacking in the dining area in terms of upkeep and cleanliness.

The layout is a bit small with limited tables given the proximity to the shopping center. Lots of TV units around which makes some diners tarry a bit longer.

Ideal for small groups or quick bites.“

“It taste good“

“This is our go-to place for tart frozen yogurt. It tastes way better than other yogurt places and the combination flavor is on point.

However, there’s always a long line if you come here over the weekend ? Thankfully, you don’t need to wait long, about 10-15 mins.“

“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.“

“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).“

“You have to try different variety of drink and dessert. So, there's a menu outside the door that you can choose any drink drink and dessert, what sweetness strength that you like etc... and it's cashless
HINT: if you see a person in front of you ordering stuff you can go inside and order as well. There's two menu machine inside.“
