Was excited to try the ice cream, but it tasted really fake, we even tried a couple flavors too (very prefume-like). Was quite excited to try this place too based on the reviews!

When I thought Swensen's, I placed it at the level of Baskin-Robbins: fine if its the only option, but not worth going out of the way for. But based on their licorice (limited-edition flavor) and Swiss Orange Chip, I definitely want to come back. The licorice is intense, even as a licorice fan, and the Swiss Orange Chip is like an ice cream version of Terry's Chocolate Orange

I was zooming around (or pushing) my uber scooter around SF and stumbled across this ice cream parlour. Such a lovely place, historic I wanted to try all the flavours. A genuine and historical place to visit, so glad I was up in the hills to be able to visit.

Tried both the Raspberry Brownie Chunk and Mango, both were delicious!

We got a small scoop for $5. Delicious ice cream and generous portion for the price!

It is still makes its ice cream on-site like an old fashioned parlor. It offers a few seasonal flavors. Peach was one of them. It tasted peachy with chunks of peaches and was not overly sweet. Others have recommended the coconut flavor as well. In summary, It's worth the trip. BTW It's on the cable car line.

We tried the banana and Turkish coffee, would recommend either! Not too sweet. There was a line of about 10 people on a weekend afternoon, but it moved quickly and we were served within 5 mins. Fair price for the quantity and quality.

Absolutely gorgeous ice cream this is the best ice cream we have had by far. It’s creamy and full of flavour, I had the chocolate chip cookie dough my husband had the sticky chewy chocolate every lick was a delight. We were so glad we came across this amazing place unfortunately we are from the uk but if we ever get the chance to travel back to San Francisco we will 100% call again with out a doubt.

If you want to eat ice cream as close to the real thing as possible, then it's Swensen's.
