14 Best Ice Cream Shops in Palo Alto

“Came on a busy weekend night. Anisha helped me out and was super friendly. She recommended the flavors COFFEE AND LOVENUTS (CAL) and SALTED MALTED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH.

CAL: especially good. The chocolate coated pecans adds a nice crunch and the coffee ice cream isn't too overpowering.

SEA SALT WITH CARAMEL RIBBONS: was good but a bit too salty for my taste.

Store is very busy on weekends, so I suggest coming earlier in the day or come on weekdays“

“i love this place! the flavor options are great and authentic. i had ube ahboong and it was delish. the taiyaki was also really good! it comes with a free macaron cookie and more toppings, pretty good deal for $7 imo! also service was very quick. hopefully i’ll be back!“

“I did not expect walking into a gelato shop and having such an amazing experience. They had sandwiches so we decided to grab some before having gelato. We got the mafioso and calabrese sandwiches. The staff were nice enough to let us try a variety of their gelato, all super tasty. I’ll definitely be going back to try more of their sandwiches and gelato.“

“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!“

“Shakes and good breakfast“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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).“

“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 :)“

“We ordered online and expected to be there at a certain time and planned accordingly, but Google Maps screwed us big time and took us to a good will 30 mins away. We were late to pick up our order and the manager immediately stepped in without prompting and made us new food in 5 mins so we didn’t have to eat cold burgers. Above and beyond the call, thanks again!“
