13 Best Ice Cream Shops in Palo Alto

“One of the best ice creams I’ve ever tasted! 🍦
I really liked:
Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons
Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Chocolate Gooey Brownie
Hazelnut Cookies & Cream
Birthday Cakes & Blackberries

The staff is super friendly, and they’re happy to let you try as many samples as you’d like before choosing.

It can get crowded and there may be a wait, but it’s definitely worth it.“

“Tastes amazing as always, and the staff was friendly.

I’m giving 4 stars because I think the place could have a better-looking waiting area. It could be cleaner, and adding a couple of tables for seating would really help.“

“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“

“I often visit this spot as a sweet treat after a long day and it’s the best feeling. Their froyo has a really strong yogurt taste, and I recommend adding the baklava and honey for sweetness and depth. Their baklava is good by itself too. Servers ate very nice and polite. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“It taste good“

“Pretty decently good froyo- what you’d expect. Not self-serve, not many flavor options. But what’s there are good options in my opinion. I got pomegranate and original (I was asked if I wanted them in a swirl or separate) with mochi toppings. The mochi topping was good quality- soft and squishy, not hardened like some other places. I have come here a few times before over the years and you can expect the quality standards to be the same every time. Dependable good froyo place.
Tiny space with some seating options outside.“

“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 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’ve gone to this Rabbit Rabbit for the past year and a half, and it’s a hit or miss. The strawberry & Guava drink were watery first time I got them, so I avoided ordering them again, but the mango ones have tasted great in my experience.

A few days after I tried the Guava, my friend was curious and ordered the same drink, and it tasted delicious. It’s likely more on the barista instead of the ingredients creating this inconsistency (though I have noticed the change), but it does taste GOOD when it hits.

As many might’ve written, there’s no space here to sit. Just order, wait either outside or in the only two chairs, and leave to keep walking around.

Ive had worse boba compared to this, but I will admit my disappointment rises when my drink comes watery. Unless you are paying at the register, there’s no talking to any staff, for those who prefer contactless pay :)“

“I got the bacon cheeseburger and Oreo milkshake. The burger was really good but the patty was quite unseasoned, but overall everything was super good. The staff came over to check if everything was alright. So the food was overall pretty good, service was good.“
