10 Best Ice Cream Shops in San Mateo

“Fresh crullers on F, Sa, and Su. Get it, “Cruel Donuts”, crullers???? Anyway the crullers were great. I had a great chocolate frosted raised donut that was also just right. Most donuts, and donut shops are meh, for me.“

“Must try Affogato!! Espresso poured over Vanilla ice cream or over your favorite ice cream. Delicious 😋“

“Many different flavors for yogurt. Try them they're delicious.“

“Awesome liquid to frozen rolled ice cream.“

“It’s probably a good thing I don’t live closer…I can’t get enough of the cannolis! I like the plain cannolis but the wife likes the chocolate dipped ones. Can’t go wrong with the pistachio topping but will have to try with Maraschino cherry on the next visit (was told this is the traditional topping).“

“the ice cream barista Alexander remembered that I have a habit of ordering my dulce de leche milkshake, paying for it, and coming back to pick it up a couple minutes later (because i need to pick up my shake shack order from downstairs). I just like it when ppl remember my specific order Alexander is a real one. W barista, W milkshake frfr.“

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“Just delicious. I ordered an ube soft serve with an Ah Boong (fish waffle) on the side. The Ah Boong is warm and fresh, simultaneously soft and crispy, and the ice cream is flavorful and the perfect amount. I inhaled the entire thing within 5 minutes, it was just that good. The ube soft serve is not the best I've had, but it's still good, and that's probably because of my personal tastes. I think it is worth the price. The location is convenient too, right in Downtown San Mateo! Overall, I will come again. 4/5.“

“I like the bubble gum ice cream 🍦“

“We got a table right away. Cool outdoor area and attractive inside with a real tree that’s lit up and little lights. Music was interesting and I liked the vibe. Half of the beers were out of stock. But the food was good. Yummy meatball appetizer and tasty pizzas. 👍“
