Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop

The Ice-cream so tasty

Great ice cream and always makes me think of good times in San Francisco!

Great tastes. Kind of shady area

Juicy strawberries, variety of chocolate and delicious sundae

Tasty Icecreams

Althought the treats were great and service was amazing (They brought over my doggo a pup cup when they noticed her with me💖) parking was a nightmare to find! I suggest getting there by anything other than your car.

Decided to take our sailor here for his vacation. The place was not very busy. The staff were friendly, but I was a bit disappointed when the ice cream was not served in glasses and instead a plastic cup. Seemed a bit overpriced for the amount you receive.

The ice cream was too runny, which caused it to melt quickly. Regardless, it had a great flavor. The environment is fantastic, despite being located in the heart of Gaslamp, renowned for being one of the best night spots in San Diego.

Parking: Ghirardelli is on a very popular street, so it's typically closed to traffic. Parking can be tough to find in the Gasslamp area.

Kid-friendliness: Absolutely.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Ghirardelli chocolate is ALWAYS delicious

Parking: Parking is a difficult issue, there is little space and it is expensive, if you park on the street or in a parking lot without help

I visited this Ghirardelli store a few years ago and was excited to finally return. This location is spacious, with plenty of seating, and is clean and well-organized. The customer service was excellent!
I always order a hot chocolate whenever I visit Ghirardelli, it’s my absolute favorite! My husband and boys love their ice cream sundaes, which are always delicious. I also make sure to grab a bag of their sea salt dark chocolate squares to take home.
Visiting a Ghirardelli chocolate store is always a treat, and this location did not disappoint!
