25 Best Ice Cream Shops near San Anselmo

“I love this classic frozen yogurt shop. They always have great new flavors (as well as the classics) and the best toppings whether you are a candy or fresh fruit fan. The staff is always friendly and helpful.“

“Visited for the first time and have to admit I was wary because of the reviews. Ended up talking with the owner for a few minutes and he was incredibly friendly. He's been running the place for 40 years. We talked about the history of the establishment and how he got into the gelato business. No rudeness and delicious gelato. The small seating area in the back was very nice for our small group. I would highly recommend it and plan to go back often.“

“This is AMAZING gelato!! Just came here with my kids after roller skating and it was the best treat ever! My daughter’s exact words were: “this is the best chocolate sorbet in the whole world!” And it really was. We also had the orange flower which was like a sweet cream with a hint of orange essence, and it went really well combined with the strawberry! My husband LOVED the pistachio, it’s real pistachio! Soooooo good, can’t wait to come back! The owner is really really nice too!“

“I had a great experience at Angela’s Ice Cream. Their service really stood out—they happily let customers try different flavors before deciding, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The ice cream was some of the best I’ve had, and our server was especially friendly and welcoming. Her warm attitude made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. I’ll definitely be back!“

“his is hands-down the best ice cream spot in the area. It’s a quintessential local gem—tiny, charming, and always worth the wait in line.

What sets them apart is the quality of their organic, small-batch flavors. The Vanilla Honey Lavender is an absolute must-try; you can tell they use real, high-quality lavender. Their housemade waffle cones are the best I’ve ever had—crispy, fresh, and they smell amazing from a block away.

I also love their commitment to being waste-free by using stainless bowls for those eating there. Just a heads-up for newcomers: it is cash or local check only, so come prepared! It’s the perfect place to grab a scoop and walk around town. Truly a Fairfax staple that never misses.“

“Had an amazing experience at Frankie & Jo’s this weekend. Incredible customer service and super helpful on letting me know what is in the ice cream and detailed on how the flavors taste like. The employee who helped me out was Lara and she was very nice, patient, and great with kids. Highly recommend this place to anyone in the area either visiting or a local resident.“

“Best ice cream cakes ever! You can absolutely taste the difference when it is homemade. Every topping was exquisite, and the designs are beautiful. The ice cream was thick and creamy, and the chocolate sauce heavenly!“

“It’s beyond wonderful. Tony spumoni, pistachio, ginger, too too good“

“I love it 🥰😋, delicious flavor, price wise no to bad 👌“

“You make my birthday girl so happy, especially the Unicorn. Make her birthday for this year sweet...it really makes her enjoy this lonely birthday becomes a joyful one“

“Servers are fun to talk with and to learn about the best treats!“

“Beat topping selections, and the yogurt is high-quality.“

“One of the best! We love Easy Breezy because of their delicious toppings, but they don’t always have the best ice cream flavors. One time we went and they didn’t even have chocolate or vanilla at all! But still, overall their frozen yogurt is amazing! We recommend it for family’s who have free time. 😁 ( This was written by my 6 year old! )
Thank you!“

“I took our kids to Lappert's Ice Cream this Sunday and had such a great experience! There was a good crowd so I had high expectations. The line moved quickly and efficiently. The staff was incredibly engaging, friendly, and provided excellent customer service from start to finish.

They have a huge selection of ice cream flavors, including some really unique and delicious-looking options you won't find at most other ice cream shops. Everything we tried tasted amazing and was clearly high quality.

This was such a fun family stop, and we'll definitely be back again. Highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for great ice cream and a welcoming atmosphere!“

“We were here for vacation and found this cool ice cream place. There are so many varieties that we asked them for their popular ones and yet I got the chacobanga and rose scoops on a cone and a chocolate in a cup. The service is great and the vibe is cool, literally you feel you are in a tropical place with music, vibe and great ice cream with amazing interiors. I loved the ambience and it seemed like a family owned business. I highly recommend it if you're here in Petaluma, go look out for this place, you will thank me later.“

“They tast so so so good go get them now

Parking: It is very dig and nice I feel like it is always a parking spot

Kid-friendliness: Kids love it and they always are up for a treat with crumble cookies

Wheelchair accessibility: There is so much room in there for people that need it“

“We love everything about this place

You feel like family coming here. The ingredients are so delicious and my stomach feels just fine after eating the pizza.

From garden veggie to pesto to chicken, it’s all good!“

“Took my family and grandchildren for a treat and lady behind the counter with glasses was kind and patient. This is the spot to go with your family.“

“Stopped by recently on a hot summer day for some gelato. Talk about a perfect repast to beat the summer heat. I had hazelnut and mango, and the portions are very generous. I didn't ask, but I think they make the cones in-house. Anyway, strange combination, I know. The mango was immediately delicious but I think I messed up combining the two because when it came time for the hazelnut, I was too full to truly enjoy the depth of flavor. Next time, I'll get it to take home. I love the location, it's in one of my favorite areas of San Rafael with shopping, good food and entertainment in abundance. Haven't had the pizza yet, but I'm a New Yorker and we're picky about our slices!“

“Awesome customer service!! Francesca and the other people working on the day of 10/10/2020 were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond in order to fulfill my cake request. Their actions are deeply appreciated and should be rewarded as they did more than just fulfilling the customer request, but also creating a meaningful experience throughout the process.“

“Only thing I come in to order is the Crazy Coffee Smoothie! And it's on hit every time! 👍🏽“

“Excellent flexible and happy to work with you. During this time of physical distancing- they made it easy to gather sweets for home bound treats! #shopNovatoLocal“

“Good. Then we sharpen, not add.

Here’s your top 1% elite version. Cleaner, more precise, one stronger visual line:

⸻

You come for a crepe. You forget to rush.

Millie’s Crêpe et Crème sits inside the Mill Valley Lumberyard, quietly confident. A small window, patterned tiles, handwritten menus. Nothing competing for attention.

The crepes are the point. Thin, warm, just crisp at the edges. Sweet or savory, done properly without trying to impress. Organic wheat or buckwheat, and the gluten-free option feels intentional.

The details carry it. Buffalo milk soft serve from Double 8 Dairy. Coffee from Signal in Berkeley. Paper plates turned into menu cards, casually lined up behind the counter like a still life that happens to be useful.

Then the courtyard. Wooden tables, string lights, a slow rotation of dogs and locals who already know. You sit down for a few minutes and time softens around you.

It doesn’t announce itself.
It simply gets it right.“

“delicious 😋 food. The chicken sandwich was off the hook“

“Great ice cream and wonderful store“
