12 Best Ice Cream Shops in Palo Alto

“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.“

“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 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“

“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.“

“Pretty standard for a Shake Shack, but that’s a good thing. Service was solid, the staff were friendly, and the food was as good as always.

Be sure to stop by when they are running a promo. Getting two hotdogs for the price of one always makes the meal taste even better.“

“Shakes and good breakfast“

“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.“

“This is how you package for delivery. Unlike coldstone and other places,pinkberry actually makes sure it doesn't melt on the way to you by putting ice in the bag. I wish they find a way to make their yogurt without the guar gum,carageenan,and other additives tho.“

“It taste good“

“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).“

“The ice cream here is actually good – creamy, flavorful. Just keep in mind a couple of things before you go: there’s no seating available, so it’s a grab-and-go spot only.

Also, while the pictures might show fully loaded cones or cups with lots of toppings, what you get for $7 is just plain ice cream. Any toppings (even basic ones) cost an extra $1 each, so the price can add up quickly if you're expecting what you see in the photos. Still, the quality of the ice cream itself makes it worth a visit – just be aware of the pricing and setup.“
