50 Best Ice Cream Shops in San Jose

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

“Food: We got the earl gray lavender flavor with original puffles. We got the ice cream regular hardness and it’s very creamy and flavorful! The puffles is not chewy as expected like a mochi but it still tastes good. Would definitely want to come again and try more flavors!
Service: the owner/staff is very welcoming and helpful. My friend wanted a softer texture so he made it that way and he also came and check out whether it’s good for him and Ben offer to make it again if he’d like it a harder texture. Haven’t seen people who enjoy the job and being so attentive for a long time!
Ambiance: bright and casual. Good hangout place with friends!“

“Homemade ice cream is so yummy... the best👍👌“

“The flavors here are delicious, the staff is very nice, and the set up is super cute.

Been here twice now and I think the only note I’d make is I feel like the line/ ordering setup is a bit confusing. Not sure if it’s just customer error or the actual setup, but both times it felt like there was more of a crowd of people by the register and displays than a line. The most recent time the people behind me somehow were served first and the people behind them ended up behind me and asked me if I knew how the line worked.

But again, could just easily be customer error and it is a new business so they have time to work that out.
otherwise no complaints ?“

“Somisomi is such a treat! The taiyaki and soft serve combinations are amazing. I love that you can choose from so many flavors and toppings to make it your own. The taiyaki is always warm and perfectly crispy, and the soft serve is super creamy. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is fun, making it a great spot to enjoy something unique and delicious. Highly recommend for anyone with a sweet tooth!”“

“The workers were generous with the ice cream samples. I tried the Super Black Chocolate and regular Chocolate, both were smooth and tasty. My sister tried the pistachio gelato, she said it was good but it felt like there was a sour after taste to it.I ordered the strawberry banana nutella crepe and added an extra scoop of chocolate gelato which is delicious. The crepe batter might have been a little bit thick so the crepe wasn't as light as some of the Japanese crepes places I've been to, but overall it was good, with plenty of bananas and strawberries. I will come back again when I crave some gelato.We wanted to try the waffle bites but they crossed it out from the menu. Not sure if they'll bring it back again.The location is right near the children's play area in the mall so there were a lot of screaming kids while we sat down to eat, so I'd recommend finding a spot a bit further away if you get crepes/waffles or just to-go it.“

“The best cookies I’ve had in a while. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but these are so so good! I love the new variety of flavors every week and how they’re so unique and different than the generic cookies you buy in the grocery store. The price isn’t too bad either! For a box of 6 cookies it’s $22 but the cookies are HUGE. I can never finish one by myself so I leave them to the rest of my family. Also pro tip download the crumble app so you can earn free rewards. 100 points equals to $10 you can use towards the cookies.“

“My first time here.Service was excellent.Had the Pineapple 🍍 Dole Whip delicious and refreshing.Will definitely return.“

“From Day one of tasting your delicious meals, we knew you'd be a big part of our family. Thank you for choosing to bring your business to Willow Glen. Blessings“

“This place is awesome! My daughter definitely loved the ice cream. I love the Taro Boba. The taiyaki is delicious!

Kid-friendliness: They have characters from hello kitty that my daughter loves. They have pokemon which i love“

“lo mejor, las hacen riquísimas“

“Its at the intersection of Aborn and San Felipe/White rd towards Aborn. Very updated location. Clean and tidy. Have 15-20 people sitting. Ample parking. Staff was very polite and also offered stickers to the kids. Obviously taste was really good and topping station was filled with good stuff.“

“Fue cuestión de ordenar una sola vez,y o pude parar me encantan sus manzanas excelente servicio“

“Been going to this baskin robbin for over 10 years. The drive across town is worth it. Love the ice cream cakes! The staff and owners are amazing and make the experience quick and easy.

Our family loves the ice cream cakes! Highly recommended!“

“Awesome experience, owners are very friendly and really took care of our large group. Great service and delicious raspados . We even got a complementary Diablito.

Vegetarian options: Shaved ice with fresh fruit syrups ( raspados) are a great option.“

“Definitely my new go to for delicious freshly made drinks & yummy snacks - The spicy cucumber lemonade was made so perfectly – So refreshing!!! && Yummy snack options- I will definitely be back for more ASAP

So fresh and healthy – I love it!!

& The cherry on top is the Super friendly and kind customer service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ☺️“

“My husband and I decided to try eating at a vegan restaurant and found that Happiness Cafe was close to home. Although small and very casual inside, the owner was very welcoming and pleasant. We tried the avocado rolls, spaghetti and meatballs and hotdog. All were excellent. I would highly recommend this spot. Can't wait to go back and try some more options.“

“Some machines weren’t working. The cut real fruit toppings looked delectable and SUPER FRESH“

“So glad we finally got to try this place out! They have shave ice, smoothies, coffee, halo-halo & snacks too. The workers were very friendly and the place was clean. There was also some Hawaii merch for purchase. I can’t comment on the water service but the shave ice and iced coffee were devoured by my family! I had to take a star off because they do have weird hours. We will be back!“

“I was waiting for my appointment and came across Orange Sunrise. I must say it is one of the cleanest places I’ve been to and I’m truly grateful for them. Also, there portion size and taste of food and drinks is a steal. Very delicious and safe space to enjoy your food and time!! I orded the kale smoothie with orange and green apples, no ice no sugar. I also tried tamalaes for the first time and it was deliciously satisfying. Amazing staff. Highly recommend Orange Sunrise!

Kid-friendliness: Safe space for kids to enjoy there meals with family.“

“great snack menu and delicious ice cream, highly, highly recommend!“

“Love the treats, love the vibe, and was so happy too see so much appreciation from the community. La Original is a treasure and the paletas are some of the best we've had anywhere.

Kid-friendliness: It's an ice cream shop, of course it's kid friendly! ?“

“Visited this creamery in April 2025!

Employees there were extremely welcoming and allowed me and my girl try out multiple flavors! I originally went inside to see the prices for this area and found that it starts at 4.99 for a scoop which is a great price compared to baskin Robbin’s or other ice cream shops. I highly recommend coming to this shop if you are in the area to receive amazing service and pay a fair price for ice cream and Italian ice.

All the flavors we sampled were great! Definitely coming back to buy the next time I stop by the area!

Thanks Sweet Fix Creamery!“

“This place is literally like 3 min away from me .love taking my kids after school to get icecream. The prices are so much more reasonable compare to the ice cream trucks now a days. Plenty of different varieties too. Definitely recommend this place to stock up on your kids favorite ice cream:)“

“Best tasting water out of all the purified water dispensers in the local area.

Living here for a year and trying many other dispensers and the water here is the best with no weird aftertastes

While you wait for the water to fill, the eggroll is also delicious.“

“Got coupons and took advantage of it, buy one get one. Clean and friendly service.“

“Small little place with good amount of choices of frozen yogurt. The price seems to be a bit more expensive than I remembered it. Bought 4 reasonable cups and it costs me about $33.

The atmosphere is nice and quiet. There are seatings outside which is nice for summer outings with the little ones.

Varieties of yogurt to choose from. My kids asked for a few sample cups to try the new flavors. Most of the flavors are quite sweet for me. The original flavor is still the best. Good amount of toppings to choose from and seem fresh too. Love the cheese cake and mochi toppings the most.“

“Good ice cream. Good staff. It was really clean.“

“I love 31 baskin Robbins because I love ice cream. They have 31 and more flavors to choose from. I grew up with the flavors like jamoca almond fudge, parlines in cream, nutty coconut, pistashio almond, baseball nut, strawberry cheesecake, and more flavors. Etc. You can't find these real good flavors anywhere. There are imitation ice cream flavors but the taste doesn't taste the same! Once you try it, you want to come back for more scoops!“

“Usually I do recommend but not today. You put out ads for specials like today 4/19 2 for 10.00 Banana splits ad it has your address and when ì go I'm told it's not for the 4th st location. this is not the first it's happened. Froster Freeze has alot of upcoming specials that won't be honored for that prices. very disappointing“

“Wide varieties of flavored frozen yogurt and toppings, very clean place, self serving, and yummy... a bit expensive. ⭐️“

“The tart flavor was superb, next time I will try the green tea, the toppings still awesome, especially the mochi“

“I've been going to Daybreak Donuts for...maybe 15 years now. I was a high school freshmen that would get cheap snacks after school and now I stop by whenever I can and it's the same smiling faces, 15 years later. Not just a great donut shop but honestly, a neighborhood staple.“

“We love cream yes we do, we love cream how about you? The answer to that question is yes. Cream is a staple for us when visiting San Jose and we love the ice cream sandwiches. Not only are their ice cream fantastic but the choices of cookies makes it second to none! They even have options for vegans as well!“

“I had the pleasure of visiting this ice cream shop recently and I must say, it was an experience worth sharing. The variety of flavors was impressive, each one seeming more tempting than the last. I finally settled for their signature as the employee gave me a sample of a scoop of their signature flavor and it was absolutely delightfulBut what truly set this visit apart was the exceptional customer service. A young employee went above and beyond to ensure my experience Their enthusiasm was infectious, and recommendations were spot on.Overall 10/10!I recommend UBE and Biscoff“

“This place is a hidden gem! Tucked away inside an interesting store, the ice cream is handmade, organic and delicious. The flavors are interesting..... Standout was the pine nut flavor made with real pine nuts, yum.Definitely coming back to this place again to try the other interesting flavors.“

“La Michoacana in San Jose is a nice spot with an impressive array of flavors . The variety is one of its standout features, with so many options to choose from that it can be a bit overwhelming—in the best possible way.

I tried the frozen banana, which was a delightful treat.
The ice cream also received positive feedback from the kids, who found it both interesting and flavorful. The unique combinations and traditional Mexican flavors add a fun twist to the usual ice cream experience.“

“Will always receive a 5 star review from me. Best I've cream and service to n the business.“

“Excellent flavor selection as well as an calming and cool environment �!“

“Place is great, very clean. Owner is super friendly and he has the most cutest well behaved dog🐕The drinks are 💣🔥 and the names are as good as the quality 👌🏻 🗣🚧ONCE YOU TRY IT, YOU WILL BE HOOKED!!!
🤯 Never in my lifeeeee have I told a lie 🤥 this is the spoooootttt😭🫠🙏❤️‍🔥🕊️🔥🤯💨🥶🫡 always 🙏🙏🙏🦾🦿“

“Good place for this warm weather 🍦😋“

“What an incredible shop with a wide range of inventory… I got this Cuadra vest for my fiancé and he loves it….😍 They have the best styles of Cuadra boots! I am amazed by the variety of boots and clothes…not to mention the exceptional customer service. I highly recommend this place 10/10. It's my favorite spot to shop for Mexican cowboy apparel.“

“I ordered through DoorDash and both things I ordered were really good and filling. The elote I feel isnt worth the cost of the size. I can pay less and get it from a street vendor. It satisfied my craving and tasted great though but wont order it again from here.

The Churrito bubble waffle was very good and being so hot outside it cooled be down. I dont think it's worth the cost either though. They give you half a churro and one scoop of ice cream. I can buy a bubble waffle somewhere else and a small pint of ice cream for same price.

So be aware that the food is good but you are better off going to downtown San Jose to La michoacana ice cream parlor. This place is just convenient that’s about it.“

“Late post: My company has used Bay Area Ice Cream Catering for ice cream social events and it's been a hit each time. The ice cream is amazing and the toppings are perfect. Employees are like kids in a candy store - they are our go-to each time!“

“Las mejores nieves echas de fruta naturales..y las paletas también y aora las crepaz“

“I just love the ice cream ? it is so yummy ?. My favorite flavor is Very Berry Strawberry ?. I will be going back a lot because it's summer and now is the best time for ice cream. I would give them more than 5 stars ? if I could. The employees are so nice and friendly. I give you a thumbs-up ? Baskin Robbins great job.“

“Best fro-yo!“

“There was a long line when I went and it baffles me that people don’t know how to use a kiosk. I got the blueberry and mango matcha, it was very good! The orange mochi was okay… it was a dry clementine and I was not aware there would be red bean as the display did not have red bean in it. I’m not a huge fan of red bean. We also cut it in the wrong direction, so it doesn’t look appetizing, but it wasn’t too bad! I would give the mochi another try, just not the orange one. Lost 1 star because of the red bean.“

“I love this place and it’s probably one of my favorite places to get ice cream from. So far I’ve only had the vanilla flavor and strawberry frozen yogurt which were both great! Though, I kinda wish they had smaller sized cups because their smallest feels a bit too small but their second smallest (not medium) is decent but it’s still a little too much. The employees here are also really helpful and nice“
