Friendly service, long line outside. I had the chocolate sprinkled strawberry ice cream and was a bit disappointed. Tasted a bit boring, missed the wow.
Best milkshake I’ve ever had… got chocolate covered strawberry shake 🍓
I was here yesterday when it was so hot. They made us wait outside in the heat when there was plenty of room inside to wait. We could have spent time looking at the flavors inside of outside in the sun. Because of the delayed time in deciding flavors, the parking lot was backed up, and people were leaving because they couldn’t find a space. The business could have served more customers if they had let us inside.
Also the manager told me I was not able to use a perfectly good coupon. Too bad, since I would have bought more than the coupon was worth, so they again lost business.
While I agree that McConnell’s ice cream is good, the Mission St business lacks customer service, and I will be buying my McConnell’s elsewhere.
try the eureka lemon and marionberry
Long lines
Try to find street parking to avoid the tiny parking lot!!!
Wonderful selection today, we had the double peanut butter chip and the black coffee chip. The $4.50 single scoop serving is more than enough! The price is better here at Mission Street Ice Cream than the places on the SB Wharf and the ice cream is way better!
They also have frozen yogurt and custard.
There is ample seating, inside and out.
They take cards and cash.

I pulled in the parking lot to observe employees seemingly running off a disheveled man with a bag-who was sitting down at the tables outside. When I went inside to inquire if they had run him off, I was told “it’s for paying customers only”. They did not say that he was being disruptive or harrassing. I left stating they just lost *this one time loyal customer…
Completely unnecessary and disrespectful. Spend your money at another, more empathetic, place of business.

There are a lot of good ice cream options in the area, but this is THE place for us. A local institution, great selection with interesting flavors, friendly. Their peppermint stick is a family favorite. The parking lot is not great, streetside in the neighborhood is usually easier. Worth the outdoor line at rush times.

McConnell’s Fine Ice Cream deserves every bit of its stellar reputation as a pioneer in artisanal ice cream. From the very first bite, it’s clear that McConnell’s takes no shortcuts in delivering an extraordinary ice cream experience. The texture is sublime—ultra-creamy, perfectly smooth, and never overly sweet, allowing the natural flavors to shine brilliantly.

Great ice cream but bad service. The lady who served us ice cream was rude and very impatient. Service should be better.
