Ice Cream Shops near San Bruno

“Phil Taylor is a wonderful Host. He cordially welcomes songwriters from all over the globe to perform songs in the round style. It’s a great way to share one’s music and meet other like minded folks. I had a wonderful time 1/7/23. Looking forward to a future opportunity to perform my music. I definitely recommend this group.“

“My go to flavor is pralines and cream. But my kids always have the chocolate shakes. This place always fills us with joy and sugar 🤣🤣.. gotta love it!!“

“60 yrs ago, I, my mother and Lorraine E. went on a Santa Cruz county beach excursion. While returning home Lorraine stopped someplace and purchased some kind of drink of orange juice and ice cream. So delicious I tried to emulate that drink. Close but something was definitely missing. That was me at nine yrs. Finally stopped by the Dairy Queen on Bay Avenue, Capitola and got the big cup. So good.“

“Best gelato in San Francisco.“

“It's amazing, I highly recommend everyone to go here“

“Marshmallow fluff;) Loved the Milkbomb sandwich! Will definitely go again;)“

“Çok lezzetli sağlıklı hijyenik aile olarak üretim yapılan bir yer kesinlikle ziyaret edilmeli teşekkür ederiz“

“I loved that they have parking in the back because that’s a huge deal in SF. Their flavors are very unique, I tried the Thai tea which was amazing as was the espresso toffee crunch. My wife really liked their chocolate caramel crunch flavor too. I was excited to try their ube but unfortunately I sampled it and tasted pretty much no ube flavor it was just purple lol. But I’d def recommend Mitchell’s for anybody that wants good ice cream in the area or wants to switch up from the usual flavors“

“good selection of flavors! its a lil crazy for two scoops of ice cream to cost 7 dollars tho 😅 tried four flavors: thai tea, salty kaya, biscoff, and black sesame. the thai tea is incredibly good, so creamy, and its vegan! the salty kaya's unique, almost reminiscent of a salted cream foam with a subtle hint of pandan/coconut. def recommend those two flavors!“

“Stumbled upon Polly Ann while looking for a source of birthday cake for a friend. Polly Ann is absolutely the best - high quality ice cream, incredibly massive list of flavors, their whipped cream and frosting are the best we've encountered in SF, and the staff all really want to help and worked with me to make every order right! This is now my go-to for birthday cakes, and each one has surprised and delighted. One friend said it's the best birthday cake he ever had. Another friend asked for a 2nd one, because they put left overs in the fridge (ice cream cakes melt in the fridge) and liked the cake so much they wanted a replacement, with the exact same flavors.

When I was delayed and couldn't pick up the cake in time for the birthday party, the shop staff were so helpful and worked with me to get an Uber delivery organized and they made sure the driver got the cake and they saved the day!

Note: if you order through Doordash or Uber, Polly Ann does delivery, but NOT through their website. The website will let you schedule delivery but this is not accurate, I think the owners are working on fixing the website - in the meantime, ensure you plan on pickup if ordering direct.“

“Yummm. Try the sf cheesecake and the bubbly Texan“

“just the best gelato cake this side of Italy. great crew, great owners. their kids are awesome!“

“It has been a long time since I had Smitten and my impression back then was not that great. I thought it was just a fancy ice cream. However, this time I had the eggnog ice cream, freshly made. I come to realize how smooth the ice cream is. More importantly, the aroma and flavor stood out without feeling too much. Of course it is still a fancy ice cream but given that all ice creams are expensive, it is worth trying the high quality and delicious one!“

“Fresh crullers on F, Sa, and Su. Get it, “Cruel Donuts”, crullers???? Anyway the crullers were great. I had a great chocolate frosted raised donut that was also just right. Most donuts, and donut shops are meh, for me.“

“Traveled from Texas and loved my experience . Enjoyed the customer service and of course enjoyed my Sandia Agua and freshly cut fruit… highly recommend 🤩 🍉!!!“

“Great price for a yummy treat!! Try them all!!!!“

“Must try Affogato!! Espresso poured over Vanilla ice cream or over your favorite ice cream. Delicious 😋“

“I love supporting small businesses and this place is the Best! I love their Lavazza cappuccino and pastries especially the cannolis! Got to try the vegetariana sandwich today and it was the best vegetarian sandwich I’ve had! Super cute spot and very kind people!“

“I love these cute little corner stores in San Francisco on potrero Hill. We only had ice cream but the ice cream was great. Nice little tables and chairs to sit out and watch the world go by. Someday we'll have to go back and try some of the other thing on the menu besides ice cream.“

“100% the best froyo in the city. Every spoonful was delightful. The toppings were fresh, and the flavors were amazing. It has turned into a routine to get this froyo. If you are anywhere near this place do yourself a favor and make the trip, It is worth it.“

“The ice cream is amazing! I’m a sucker for Juliette’s Vanilla malt milkshake. Never too full for one of those!“

“I came across here on a beautiful day and was craving for some ice cream. Was greeted and welcomed by one of their friendly staffs, she explained to me they offer ice cream and gelatos and the different flavors they carry. They also have many things to choose from, such as sundaes, milkshakes, boba drinks, smoothies, mangonadas, etc. It’s a cool little spot in the neighborhood that definitely attracts customers like myself. Definitely will be back!“

“This is a charming ice cream shop on broadway Burlingame. They have a great selection of tasty hand crafted ice creams, yogurts , sorbets, chocolates and candies. It's an ice cream shop that fulfill the most posh of taste. My favorite is the Ube ice cream . Its so luscious , thick and creamy texture with a mellow, subtle nutty, and a hint of vanilla flavor. Location is great. It's on broadway Burlingame next to Walgreens. Meter spots , parking lots , and 2 hrs of free parking available. Cute ambience and the entire staff is attentive and welcoming.“

“Came on a Thursday night after seeing the Dates Pizza on TikTok—such a wild combo that I had to try it. It was incredible: like a fresh, vibrant salad wrapped in world-class pizza bread. We also had the meatballs and the pepperoni with sweet chili, and both were just as good. Fantastic service and a cozy, intimate vibe.“

“It’s really creamy delicious! Highly recommended. 😋“

“Vegan caramel chai with chocolate rocks...because I’m 7 ❤️“

“Great service, delicious treats, and lovely patio for outdoor dining💕“

“se te hace agua la boca 🤤 The food is BOOOOMB, bomb.com!!! The Crepes are AMAZING 🤩 The esquites are magically delicious 😋 and the customer service is great 👍🏻 super friendly and nice. Definitely our favorite place to snack at whenever we are in San Francisco“

“Great Milkshakes and cookies“

“gluten free, vegan, coconut based froyo! yum!“

“Many different flavors for yogurt. Try them they're delicious.“

“Crumbl cookies are famously large and incredibly sweet. While many of their flavors are enticing, I'd love to see some less sweet options introduced to balance the richness.

Peanut Butter Crisp featuring Butterfinger (4.5/5): This cookie delivered on its promise with a great peanut butter flavor and a satisfying crunch from the Butterfinger pieces. A truly enjoyable fusion.

Cake Batter (4/5): This was less a cookie and more a mini cake! The confetti cookie base was delightful, and the cream cheese-like frosting added a nice touch, but it was exceptionally sweet.“

“Mangonada, nieve de garrafa, raspados, bionicos, tostilocos, tejuinos“

“Son divinas, si pruebas las de café son un sueño y sobre todo a la hora de la película familiar. Altamente recomendadas“

“Awesome liquid to frozen rolled ice cream.“

“the ice cream barista Alexander remembered that I have a habit of ordering my dulce de leche milkshake, paying for it, and coming back to pick it up a couple minutes later (because i need to pick up my shake shack order from downstairs). I just like it when ppl remember my specific order Alexander is a real one. W barista, W milkshake frfr.“

“gluten free, vegan, coconut based froyo! yum!“

“Great place for Asian drinks!“

“I've been going here for a few days straight this week because who doesn't have a craving for a good sundae? Three scoop sundae for $10-$11, I think, is pretty standard nowadays. Surprisingly, this place was pretty busy both days I went. It's been super cold lately, too. The kiosk or place is generally clean. Both times, I wanted to try the waffle bowls, but I couldn't help but question if it's fresh? I was surprised they still had seasonal holiday flavors like peppermint.
The menu is pretty standard, and you can make a dazzler with any flavor ice cream you like. I only wished the people who worked there spoke English. I told the lady the first day I wanted a build your own dazzler/sundae, and we weren't understanding each other. To the point, I just told her the flavor brownie a la mode and had her choose the toppings.
The sundae itself melts fast because of the hot fudge, but I just love the yummy gooeiness of it all. Something about it is so comforting. Even as it melted, I drank every last drop like chocolate milk or a melted milkshake...good to the last drop.“

“Just had the salted caramel so so bomb!!“

“This place doesn’t look like a place trying to impress anyone. It looks like a shop that has been doing one thing long enough to know what shortcuts ruin. The counter is small, the room unadorned, the kind of space where quality hides in plain sight because the people making it assume you’ll figure it out on your own.

Cannoli demand precision. If the shell softens, you failed. If the filling weeps, you rushed. If the ricotta is grainy or heavy or over-sugared, you didn’t understand its behavior under temperature and time. Romolo’s gets all of this right.

The shells are made the way people make things they intend to stand behind. Not brittle, not oily, not collapsing under pressure. They have that snap you only get when dough has been rolled to the correct thickness and fried at the right temperature, long enough to blister but not blister apart. You can tell someone here still listens to the sound of the shell when it cools.

The filling is clean, balanced, and confident. No perfumed overcompensation. No reckless sweetness meant to distract from inferior ricotta. This is filling made by people who understand ratio and restraint. The texture stays smooth because the ricotta was drained properly, not hurried. There’s discipline in that step alone. Most places skip it. Romolo’s doesn’t.

What impressed me most is how the cannoli hold structure on the way home. Ricotta interacts with pastry the way moisture interacts with almost anything that should remain crisp: it wants to weaken it. But Romolo’s fills to order, and they fill with judgment. Enough to satisfy, not enough to compromise the shell before you get to experience the contrast that makes cannoli worth eating in the first place.

The people behind the counter treat you the way good shops do. Direct, warm in a grounded way, the kind of friendliness that seems rooted in pride more than choreography. They hand over the box carefully, as if they know what they made can survive the trip but also know that respect is part of the craft.

This place doesn’t rely on nostalgia or theatrics. It relies on technique. On the quiet confidence of a place that has figured out what works and kept doing it. You taste repetition, patience, and the refusal to let a simple dessert become sloppy.

If you want a cannoli that proves why the thing exists at all, this is the place“

“Drive by many times and thought that I wouldn't like something like a yogurt drink. Turned out it was very good. Delicious! Been there twice..... But the young ladies there are a little bit...... Not friendly!!
But worth trying they're drinks!“

“Happiness in a cup. And a cone 😁“

“If you're in the area and looking for takeout while on a budget this is a great option. The owner is very kind to all of her customers. She also gives very generous portions. The food is decent but the decor is dated. I wouldn't recommend dining in but she has a few chairs for you to sit on. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Support our local businesses especially ones that treat their guests very well like this one.

Kid-friendliness: She serves ice cream if you have very picky eaters with you.“

“First thing first the workers are really kind and yes one of the questions is what if you ask for a sample they will give you if you ask more than one you're the most much samples you could get is 3 and if you sign up they will give you a free a scoop of ice cream that is true that's not fake if you sign up at Baskin-Robbins they would give you one free scoop of ice cream and there are parking spots around it and there are a lot of other places close to it so yeah and overall the workers are really kind and the ice cream is really really delicious“

“I've had a lot of sandwiches in SF, and Dagwood by far makes the best ones. I've head dreams about their sandwiches, that's how delicious they are. The people who work there are incredibly nice and actually care about what they're doing. 10/10 for me.“

“I love this place for ice cream cakes, I love this place for the service, and I absolutely love them for how much my kids love them!

If only they could bring back Mississippi mud I could give you six stars. 🤭

Dietary restrictions: Everything is clearly labeled and every staff member has let me know any additional information whenever I've ordered an ice cream cake.

Parking: You can easily find parking in the back parking lot located police station and walk through the shopping center, or, easily find parking at a meeting or timed for free.

Kid-friendliness: They have been nothing more than kid catering, so if you're an adult be careful! If you're a kid you're going to get everything you like and more!

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible through anything on the first floor with multiple ramps.“

“The best ice cream ever <3.I love all the favorites.“

“Our friendly neighborhood ice cream shop full of delicious flavors (as expected from BR). Lots of flavors, lots of cones and decorative cups, and sundaes. They usually have 1-2 staff which can be under during busy hours but we generally go late in the evening when there is less traffic, so it’s prompt. There are plenty of ice cream cakes to go and a very cute guest seating arrangement.“

“When you want or need a priceless treat to bring you nothing but pleasure and intense flavor... go here immediately, don’t think, feed your soul“
