50 Best Ice Cream Shops in San Jose

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

“everything about this place was amazing! when i first walked in, a staff immediately greeted me and it was so cool watching them infuse nitrogen into the ice cream. i ordered the strawbaby puffle, which is strawberry ice cream with bubble waffle on the bottom, and it was smooth and creamy with the perfect hint of strawberry. i loved the cold and warm combination, and not to mention the presentation of the ice cream was in a beautiful rose. i will definitely come back and i highly recommend this place!“

“Small store, but there's tons of seating outside. Really quick service.

October 2024 flavours: All pretty average. This is quite the disappointing month. None of the limited edition flavours really stood out. Ended up getting a split scoop of the candycopia (the candy bits were nice) and creepy crawlers (the matcha was acceptable). Pumpkin bread could use more pumpkin spice, essence of ghost is for the licorice lovers, blackberry tamales is skippable.“

“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 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 ?“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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 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“

“Yummy and big cookies! Loved it!“

“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! ?“

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

“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.“

“Sweet Fix is your regular corner ice cream shop. They offer a variety of classic and unique flavors that satisfy the sweet tooth in you. Italian ice cream are available for non-dairy options. I tried the red velvet waffle cone bit found no taste difference to a regular waffle cone. Servings are decent. Half servings available if you want to taste different flavors but can't finish two scoops. Clean shop but no seating is available.“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ☺️“

“This is my neighborhood spot. The owners are so sweet and the space is cozy with good vegan vibes. I love the smoothies and boba teas, the stew over rice, tomato pasta, avocado rolls, soups, waffles, and desserts. There is a smoothie called the Happiness smoothie and it is like a virgin pina colada. I’m always transported to paradise when I taste it! #Veganuary“

“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!“

“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:)“

“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.“

“We had the best experience! Went to celebrate our son’s birthday and the man who was helping us(Bzaveri) sang him happy birthday in his native language, gave him a “birthday candle” (it was a cookie) and some stickers. He took it to the next level and we were so impressed! Oh and the yogurt was delicious. Lots of good flavors and a ton of toppings!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good place for this warm weather 🍦😋“

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

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

“Kind service :) this place is so cute! Its like a convenient store with lots of snacks, drinks, food, icecream, etc. we got the egg coffee and salted coffee, both good but very strong!! They dont play ab their viet coffee lol not complaining though. Definitely worth trying out, Support small businesses!“

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

“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.“

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

“The owner often works in the establishment and he's a pretty nice guy. He promotes a lot of his drinks with a lot of passion. I personally felt a bit awkward because I wanted to choose a drink of my own but he suggested something that would "guarantee" be better than the drinks that are on display. It seems he really wants to ensure that his place is highly rated given that there are a bunch of printed reviews placed everywhere like a hall of fame. Definitely deserved I suppose. Lots of selections but gets confusing when he recommends something else despite there being so many ?“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“(Translated by Google) I live in San Francisco, I am originally from the state of Guerrero (Mexico). Yesterday, Tuesday, February 14, I went to buy 2 pairs of boots, they have a very good variety and styles, but the best thing was the attention when I arrived. I asked if I could use the bathroom and the lady She very kindly said yes and they were very kind, she and her husband think they are from Michoacan (Mexico) thank you very much for your attention!!(Original)Vivo en san francisco ca,soy originario del estado de guerrero(mexico)ayer martes 14 de febrero fui a comprar 2 pares de botas tienen muy buena variedad y estilos,pero lo mejor fue la atención llegando pregunte si podía usar el baño y la señorita muy amablemente me dijo que si y fueron luy amable ella y su esposo parese que son de michoacan(mexico)muchas gracias por sus atenciones!!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Best fro-yo!“

“The gentleman that was working yesterday afternoon was extremely friendly and welcoming. Just for that alone we will be going back. We sampled the flavors. Very good. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the lack of flavors. They only have 4.“

“I had a banana róyale! It was yummy 😋 I like the many ice cream flavors available.“
