The absolute smoothest ice cream I've ever eaten. Flavors are limited and nothing too special, I enjoyed the Maple Pecan.

SO GOOOOOD. Some of their locations closer to me closed after Covid. I have to get some every chance I get. Love their seasonal flavors.

Super unique ice cream made right in front of you with liquid nitrogen. It’s so fresh and delicious, and the flavors are amazing. Definitely worth a visit!

Terrible ice cream, you can’t even see what I’m going to consume, you buy blindly and the balls are very small. Excellent service though.

I went to brookies & cream. It's a normal ice cream. Nothing that spectacular. It's worth a visit to discover new flavors.

My favorite ice cream in the Bay, and they have the Earl Gray tea flavor back!

I ate the pumpkin flavor (maybe it's seasonal?)
Although the cardamom was effective, it didn't have any unpleasant taste, it had a smooth texture and was very delicious ✨☺️ I would like to try the other ones as well. I'm sure it's a popular store 😄

No greeting or friendliness whatsoever. But ice cream was really good. I'm old. We notice rudeness. Employees talking amongst themselves but they were fast so I give them credit for that.

Smitten Ice Cream is located in San Francisco's Mission District and born from a desire to provide ice cream afficionados with fresh made-to-order ice cream. This mission then led to the construction of the patented Brrr machine, which utilizes liquid nitrogen to create smooth, rich, and delicious ice cream in 90 second flat (spoiler alert: that means you never have to wait long for your sweet treat). The storefront is on the modest side; however, it does boast both indoor and outdoor seating if you wanted to enjoy your ice cream in the area. Their flavors rotate seasonally, which means there's always going to be something new for you to try!
We arrived at Smitten Ice Cream on Thursday evening looking for a post-dinner treat. There's wasn't a line at this hour, so we were able to walk up and place our orders easily without much wait. After a few moments of deliberation, we decided to get small scoops of both the brookies 'n cream and cookie dough with pretzels and chocolate chip flavors (the later of two in a waffle bowl). True to their promise, the ice cream was freshly prepared and ready in almost no-time.
Both flavors were creamy, smooth, and absolutely delicious. The brookies 'n cream provided a smooth yet subtle chocolate flavor thanks to the brownies and cookies folded into the ice cream base. On the other hand, the cookie dough with pretzels and chocolate chips featured a malted brown sugar base with the aforementioned delicious mix-ins.
If you're an ice cream fiend looking for some scrumptious made-to-order ice cream, then you should definitely add Smitten Ice Cream to your rotation!

It's good Ice Cream, it's just not great ice cream imo. The Waffle Cone was great though.

I tried the brookies & cream flavor, which was good, but not better than other ice creams I’ve had in San Francisco. The waffle cone was solid, and the service was good, with a pleasant atmosphere. The place had quite a few customers, which caught my attention, but I wouldn’t go out of my way just to visit. Overall, it’s a decent spot if you’re nearby, but not my top choice for ice cream in the city.

Great texture—enjoyed the cookie dough!
This food tastes gross. Why is everything so salty and sour tasting?

Still my top 1 place after so many years, it may not have as fancy or exotic flavors as some other ice cream parlors out there, but the texture - the creaminess, the fluffiness, totally a different level! It always has and will have a special place in my heart.
