“A very cute place. Lots of flavors and a wide selection of toppings. They have 3 different sauces as well. We tried the original, chocolate, strawberry and tiramisu flavors. They were good.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love these, especially when they customize their yogurt to their likings.“

“We worked with the SF Gelateria team for our wedding in Sonoma and it was a big hit! There was a large selection of flavors and they were responsive and easy to work with. Pricing was more reasonable than other vendors in the Sonoma / Napa area. Only wish that I had a chance to try all 7 flavors on the night of (or asked for a to-go container). Would definitely work with them again.“

“son muy ricos los helados 😋“

“I was in Newark heading to a client meeting and decided to stop by this spot. It has an old-school vibe but a great atmosphere. The place is run by an all-women team, and they recommended the Beacon Cheeseburger. I'm glad they did! The burger was cooked perfectly, as was the bacon, and the bread was just the right texture. If you're in the area and craving a good burger, this is definitely the place to go.

Parking: It wasn't too packed when I arrived and there were plenty of parking spots outside including the street.“

“Fresh Fruit and smoothies !! Great place to go after a great run or exercise!!“

“I love this place! It’s great to get Asian-flavored ice cream. Also their takoyakis are very good too! I like their custard takoyakis and their Oreo one. My boyfriend likes their Nutella one.

The ice cream’s also really great here too. They have a good milk ice cream. I also like their cookies and cream ice cream. They also change up the pairing of their swirls ice cream, so it’s nice to drop by and see which flavors they’ve paired up for swirls this time. I also like how they make the ice cream fancy. You can get a waffle fish on top of your ice cream. Also you can add toppings like sprinkles or Oreo crumbs. And like adding a cherry on top, you can add mini macaron or a strawberry.

The inside is new and clean. There’s not a lot of seating area on the inside, but it’s still pretty popular in the evenings and people just stand around on the inside or outside of the store.

The service is good. I like how you order at the kiosk ordering station. They can take some time to make the takoyakis, but you can watch them make the takoyakis from behind the glass at the counter. Also since this place is so popular you sometimes have to wait for them to make your ice cream too, but I don’t mind the wait because their ice cream concoctions are worth it.

“A friend suggested this place to me yesterday so of course I had to pop in to check it out. I walked in and immediately noticed how clean it was. Not only was the owner there, but he was super friendly and told me and my daughter about how he makes the ice cream himself with the help of his wife. I really don't think I've tried creamier ice cream. Was VERY impressed with everything about this place and will be coming back with family and telling friends to go here as well!“

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

“I want to take a moment to give a big shout out to the crumble cookie and Foster City.Simply amazing customer service clean facility and is friendly as can be.It was a great experience.I went in for the first time this last weekend. Thank you.
For a wonderful treat and great customer service“

“The best yogurt 🍦, at woodside Rd“

“First time here. Got a Rusa and a strawberry crepe. The Rusa is delicious. There is so much packed into one thing (pineapple, mango, orange, tamarindo straw, chammoy, tajin and squirt, and it is so delicious. Tart, sweet, sour, and most importantly, refreshing. The crepe was soft and warm. Freshly made, too. Next time i go, I'll definitely try the ice cream. They have so many flavors to choose from. The staff were very polite and attentive. I'm coming back for sure and you should go too.Bonus points: 2 pictures of Sonic the Hedgehog on the wall.“

“Muy rico, me encanto todo lo k compre pero especialmente las fresas con crema,“

“good Italian ice cream so good“

“Lovely owner and delicious frozen yogurt with probiotics :)“

“Among all of us we had the Rose, Kulfi, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, and also the puppy icecream. All the flavors were really nice and you could see real vanilla bean powder, nuts in the different flavors. Pepper did not stop licking till her icecream was done and then was looking for more. The people behind the counter were very friendly and kind to our chaos. We will definitely be going back.“

“We stumbled upon this amazing gem that boasts an incredibly unique selection of ice cream flavors paired perfectly with mouthwatering cannoli! Imagine biting into one of their three irresistible options: the classic plain, the decadently rich chocolate-filled, or the delightfully crunchy pistachio-topped! It’s the ultimate spot for a quick and exhilarating treat after lunch, where you can savor a refreshing scoop of ice cream that will leave your taste buds dancing!“

“Ran in for a milkshake and was in and out quickly. Girl was alone and doing a great job. As always, great ice cream!“

Stopped by for some gelato and was really impressed by the variety of flavors, especially the lactose-free (vegan) options. Got to try three samples, and all of them were smooth, flavorful, and well-balanced. It can be hard to find good dairy-free gelato, but they nailed the texture—creamy and satisfying without feeling icy or thin.

Service was friendly and efficient, and there was no long wait, making it an easy stop for a quick treat. The setting is nice, though more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to sit and linger.

If you’re lactose-intolerant or just love good gelato, this place is definitely worth checking out!“

“Service was fast and friendly. It was very clean and safe inside. The lime ice cream was yummy, right amount of sweet and tart flavor. My husband loved the Uchepos too but didn’t get pics of either because they ate too fast. I got the fresas con crema and added mango to it and it was sooo good.“

“The best Sandwich in 100 miles! Been coming here ever since it opened and will continue to eat delicious sandwiches for years to come. NOM NOM NOM.“

“Shakes and good breakfast“

“I recently visited this place and had an amazing experience! I ordered the Tostitos con elotes and it was incredibly delicious. The service was top-notch and the ladies at the counter were super friendly. I'll definitely be back for more!“

“This place is perfect for anyone who wants try something or wants to make something of their own like the vaso delicioso with combines fruit, chips, nuts, and candy with whatever sauce you want at the end, also the banana split is very good.“

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“Amazing sandwiches and bread!!!!“

“I was going to get my birthday ice cream, and you might know on your birthday you can get one for free. However, I am from Canada, so when I registered and wanted to get my application, I couldn’t, because for iPhones from other countries they restricted access to download the application. I was standing there and struggling, thinking my luck for this year is not good to work… Owner saw it , and get me my birthday ice cream:) I really appreciate it! Thank you:) Lucky for this year;)“

“She is now located in front of Tere’s Boutique near the Chavez Supermarket by Middlefield Road.I love her raspados so much! I used to get them after church growing up. Her recipes are delicious and traditional. My favorite one is the raspado de Guanábana (soursop). It’s perfectly sweet and the pieces of fruit are delicious. I have also tried and liked her limon, rompope, vainilla, coco, nuez, mango con chile and chicle flavors.I recommend also trying their tostilocos with everything plus extra hot sauce. They are super delicious and a very generous size. Her fruit cups are also really good. The fruit is always perfectly ripe and fresh.Definitely recommend when you’re in Redwood City. All her antojitos are delicious, fresh and never overpriced. Great value, taste and quality.“

“Interesting flavors to try. I am glad they let you sample a little. The cinnamon seemed a little burnt according to one taster, the caramel one as well. The strawberry seemed to have a yogurt taste but also more of a raspberry flavor. I chose the mint with chocolate chip which was reminiscent of the leaf itself. It is a nice dessert place whether or not you had a big meal. Service is nice. PS there was a neat "show" if someone before you orders a toasted marshmallow.“

“Even with my limited Spanish the ladies were very nice and helped me order a delicious fresh made agua Fresca. They used actual blended mango rather than just powder and it was just the right amount of sweetness. Clean nice place and super reasonably priced go support!“

“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.“

“This is our go-to place for tart frozen yogurt. It tastes way better than other yogurt places and the combination flavor is on point.

However, there’s always a long line if you come here over the weekend ? Thankfully, you don’t need to wait long, about 10-15 mins.“

“Lots of unique flavors. It’s so good.“

“It taste good“

“Sara’s cookies are amazing!!! Yum Yum Yum“

“Ice Cream is usually not my thing but when there’s a twist on it I gotta try it out. Toasted Marshmallows on top of your ice cream is definitely something different.
The ice cream isn’t bad. The flavor I chose was butter toffee I believe with the toasted marshmallow on top. The combination of the ice cream with toasted marshmallow is top tier.

Parking: Parking on the main streets as well as side streets

Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn’t like wafffle cones and ice cream

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible and welcomed“

“We literally take every single visitor from out of town, to this place! Our guests can go see the Golden Gate Bridge on their own, they can take in the whole of the city, but the one thing we insist on doing with them, is a visit to "the best ice cream anywhere."“

“Humphry Slocombe offers unique and delightful flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. While my recent visit came with a bit of a wait (long lines and a single staff member managing the weekend crowd – kudos to her for her perseverance!), the delicious reward at the end solidified it as a 4-star experience.One of the things I loved about Humphry Slocombe (as with most ice cream places nowadays) is the opportunity to try before you buy. They offer tastings of their various flavors, allowing you to discover the perfect scoop (or two!) for your taste buds. They also cater to portion preferences with different sizes available, making it easy to indulge in a single scoop or grab a pint to enjoy later. For the pint-sized ice cream lovers, they even had a tempting buy-2-get-1-free deal – a great way to stock up on your favorites or try new flavors.After much deliberation, I landed on the Cornflake Crunch ice cream. This delightful concoction was a symphony of creamy sweetness with a touch of saltiness, perfectly complemented by the satisfying crunch of cornflakes. It was a flavor explosion, and every bite was a moment of pure joy. While they don't have any designated seating areas, this didn't take away from the experience. It was a beautiful day, and we enjoyed strolling through Redwood City's downtown with our ice creams in our hands.“

“Great place, and self serve so the kids portion are appropriately sized.“

“Right off the bike bath! yummy grilled cheese and fantastic chocolate. passion fruit ice tea too :-) donates to local schools“

“Standard experience at Baskin-Robbins, in terms of ice cream quality. Service was on the slow side, as there was only one person doing everything, so the line started to get long. Easy to find parking, though, as there’s a large free parking lot.“

“Great place for Asian drinks!“
