50 Best Ice Cream Shops near South San Francisco

“Love the soft serve ice cream!!! Tea is great as well!!!“

“Best gelato in San Francisco.“

“Wife ordered the Black Sesame and Honey Lavender. I ordered the Banana split with Roasted Banana Ice Cream. Vanilla Crunch and Expresso... Amazing. The crunchy Carmel on top of the fresh banana's... Over the top. My new favorite Ice Cream place in the Bay Area.“

“Small shop, cash only, full of heart.

The owner is very nice and is very generous with portions, two scoops in a cone was $4! Green tea was a standout, airy and creamy. Unfortunately, they were out of a lot of the flavors when I went, but they have a lot of unique ones as well as classics that I’d love to come back and try.

Hard to find places like these anymore, don’t miss out!“

“Marshmallow fluff;) Loved the Milkbomb sandwich! Will definitely go again;)“

“Exceptional unique flavors. We had the Ken’s corner and salty Kaya; both were fantastic. I like the samples, and there’s a nice vibe in the interior. Kind, efficient servers. Not cheap, but it’s expected given how popular this place is.“

“Mitchell’s Ice Cream is absolutely worth the hype! Yes, the wait can be long, but trust me, it’s 100% worth it. Curtis took our order, and his incredible customer service made the experience even better—friendly, attentive, and just an all-around great guy.

I ordered the Grasshopper, and let me tell you, it was so delicious I can still taste its minty, chocolatey goodness as I write this review. Every bite was perfection!

A heads-up: parking can be tricky due to the area’s foot traffic, so plan to spend some extra time finding a spot and waiting in line. But once you take that first bite, you’ll forget about all of that. Highly recommend Mitchell’s for anyone looking for amazing ice cream and top-notch service!“

“Line moved quickly and when it's your turn they're very nice and helpful. They have AMAZING flavors and a variety of sizes. Best cotton candy I've had in my life. Something for everyone! Definitely check out this neighborhood gem.“

“Yummm. Try the sf cheesecake and the bubbly Texan“

“My favorite crepe place in Japan Town!!!

I love how much they pay attention to the presentation of the crepes especially when they add cute little faces on each of them. I've been coming here for years now and I can say that they have always made their crepes still as good.

I always get the nutella and strawberries crepe with chocolate ice cream, whipped cream and cornflakes, but they have a lot of different combinations and you can customize it yourself too!“

“The most delicious, fresh, and hand-crafted gelato I’ve ever tasted. You must try! Thank you Philmore!!! Can’t wait to come again!“

“Very sweet, a bit too sweet for an old guy like me. And a little on the soft side. Enjoyable and very popular with the local theater going public. We walked here amid a crowd from nearby Davies Symphony Hall.

Vegetarian options: Five vegan options when we were there, but two looked temporary. Also small cups were available for dogs. I never noticed that at an ice cream shop, but I can't say I'm an authority.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan options

Wheelchair accessibility: There is no step from the sidewalk, so I'd say this shop is very wheelchair friendly.“

“fabulous! please open another in the San Jose area. great service..the way they encourage you to taste while waiting in line...loved the various, different flavors“

“Yummm. Try the sf cheesecake and the bubbly Texan“

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

“Da Giuseppe Nardoni: fantastici cannoli cosi in Californiana non li mangi, con ricotta fresca siciliana“

“Best hot chocolate ever. Definitely trying the Gelato next!“

“INSANELY delicious desserts!!! 😋“

“Fantastic spot with unique Sundaes, shakes, malts, and make-your-own ice cream sandwiches. Loved the cherry & crème fresh with cornmeal cookies!“

“WOW! This place knows how to do matcha!! Their azuki bean matcha latte was strong and bitter, slightly sweet, and very creamy. And of course the soybean powdered croffle (croissant + waffle) was delicious, and the matcha coated mochi-jelly was SO good. The inside of this place was really itty bitty, but they had seating by the window (no bathroom, but the library nearby has one). The service was nice and fast, and the staff was so friendly. The prices were a bit high, but you get what you pay for! They also had dairy free milks, I got my matcha latte with oat milk.“

“In the heart ♥️ of the beautiful downtown of Culver City Salt & Straw Is there waiting for you to go and taste they’re vegan ice cream 🍦 with fresh waffle cones 😋yummy . The place is nice,clean ,friendly staff and you get one hour free parking“

“I love supporting small businesses and this place is the Best! I love their Lavazza cappuccino and pastries especially the cannolis! Got to try the vegetariana sandwich today and it was the best vegetarian sandwich I’ve had! Super cute spot and very kind people!“

“One of our favorite spots in the Richmond. Sean and Alice are as terrific as their ice cream!“

“Great Milkshakes and cookies“

“Phil Taylor is a wonderful Host. He cordially welcomes songwriters from all over the globe to perform songs in the round style. It’s a great way to share one’s music and meet other like minded folks. I had a wonderful time 1/7/23. Looking forward to a future opportunity to perform my music. I definitely recommend this group.“

“just the best gelato cake this side of Italy. great crew, great owners. their kids are awesome!“

“This is a charming ice cream shop on broadway Burlingame. They have a great selection of tasty hand crafted ice creams, yogurts , sorbets, chocolates and candies. It's an ice cream shop that fulfill the most posh of taste. My favorite is the Ube ice cream . Its so luscious , thick and creamy texture with a mellow, subtle nutty, and a hint of vanilla flavor. Location is great. It's on broadway Burlingame next to Walgreens. Meter spots , parking lots , and 2 hrs of free parking available. Cute ambience and the entire staff is attentive and welcoming.“

“Their service and their soft serve is amazing! I always stop by their store when I'm in the area! 😀“

“Happiness in a cup. And a cone 😁“

“love it for a afternoon treat w the kiddos“

“Nice vibes, good pizzas, great meatballs. Small and focused menu, easy does it, with a few creative pizzas. Quick service, friendly floor staff. Busy but still possible to get a reservation or walk in on a Friday night. The glass of wine I got ended up not being my taste, but they have a narrow and local selection that seems decent.“

“Great service, delicious treats, and lovely patio for outdoor dining💕“

“Ice cream here is Good! Great customer service. They also have custom drinks. Gives Mitchel's competition...for those familiar with the area ( prices are similar). For those visiting, you can't go wrong stopping by at Balboa Ice Cream.“

“soooooooooo........goooooood 😋🤤💯❤ All the Cookie dough and Hot Chocolate 💯❤🤤😋“

“If you're in the area and looking for takeout while on a budget this is a great option. The owner is very kind to all of her customers. She also gives very generous portions. The food is decent but the decor is dated. I wouldn't recommend dining in but she has a few chairs for you to sit on. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Support our local businesses especially ones that treat their guests very well like this one.

Kid-friendliness: She serves ice cream if you have very picky eaters with you.“

“This is the spot if you're down for a yogurt drink. However, I'm personally interested in a lighter drinks, and usually grab a genki green lemon tea as my choice from Yomie's. However, all the yogurt drinks I've ordered so far have been thick, and made fresh. The freshly made aspect is superb, but it does also mean you're not getting your drink that quick after you punch in your order. The fruit can be a hit or miss: sometimes you get a not-stellar batch of strawberries or avocado in your drink.

There's a few tables and some interior seating along with wifi available, but I would rather hang out at any of the nearby parks than indoors unless I'm waiting on friends. Order from kiosk or counter. There's usually a minimal line.“

“gluten free, vegan, coconut based froyo! yum!“

“So yummy ! Choose any cookies and any ice cream flavor.“

“Sandwiches are fantastic! Generous portions of fresh ingredients made to order. Fully stocked pastry case with classic and specialty treats! Friendly staff, great vibe,, totally affordable menu. LOVE!“

“Vegan caramel chai with chocolate rocks...because I’m 7 ❤️“

“Delicious Harvey Milk and Peanut Butter. As good as it gets.“

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

“First time having shaved ice cream. It was Tachata which is cinnamon vanilla. Texture and taste was outstanding.“

“Son divinas, si pruebas las de café son un sueño y sobre todo a la hora de la película familiar. Altamente recomendadas“

“Delicious rolled ice cream with free toppings!!! Yummm!!!“

“Super clean and well lit. The people who work there are as nice and helpful as cam be expected. They are definitely nicer and more accommodating then a lot of the other markets on this block. And they have hand scooped ice cream, which is actually really good quality ice cream. And if they should ever run out they replace the giant tubs with Ben and Jerry's pints. With no price change. Which is super dope I think. The have a huge selection of beverages and dry goods for such a little store and the delicatessen side of things is amazing. I don't have a single complaint about any of the dishes I have tried thus far. I recommend the spaghetti and lasagna tray. It's AMAZING!!! My boyfriend is an Italian from New York and even he likes the pasta. So you know it's good. Also their pricing is not to extreme. Its reasonably priced fresh foods and pre-packaged items which in the city is as we all know can be difficult to find. Don't just take it from me you should go and give them a try. You won't be disappointed. ???????????〰️?????❕️❗️❕️❗️❕️“

“When you want or need a priceless treat to bring you nothing but pleasure and intense flavor... go here immediately, don’t think, feed your soul“

“好味好味，綠茶同芝麻都好味。“
