12 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 😋“

“I've been going here for a long time, life happens that you stop going to certain places. You get caught up with what you need to do you forget. A co-worker had brought some in for a party and it just brought back memories eating this and ice cream with family.
I recently went with my co-worker to come back for more of the delicious cannoli. I was surprised to see that the place hasn't changed at all. Everything still made in house. Prices like everything are up. My co-worker and I had split 24 minis, we were surprised to pay $42 for each but bit the bullet and paid up. Now that I look at the menu, we got ripped off LOL. It's cheaper to buy 1 dozen for $72 and you cut it yourself. You save $12 🤦‍♀..note to self and everyone else..
The cannolis were heavenly and much enjoyed by my family. It was a once in a while treat, not something I'd do weekly. We had tiramisu, chocolate, and original. It's a toss up for me between tiramisu or original. Everyone loves the cannoli shell. I had a tiramisu shake as well and it was delicious. I just wish they had a bigger straw.
Treat yourself and your loved ones, I highly recommend this place especially if you're craving authentic cannolis“

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

“Awesome liquid to frozen rolled ice cream.“

“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.“

“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. 👍“

“Amazing! I will definitely be going back again soon“

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“I like the bubble gum ice cream 🍦“

“Coldstone @375 2nd Ave, San Mateo, CA

This is the nearest branch to South City after the Junipero and San Bruno locations closed. There is ample parking available, and parking is free after 6:00 PM.
The restaurant is clean and well-maintained. Although the dining area is a bit small, it did not feel crowded when I visited shortly after noon. The facilities were clean, the serving sizes were good, and the prices were reasonable. There is also a code required to access the restroom.“

“IMO better than other fast food burgers 🍔“
