Humphry Slocombe - Oakland

It's on the lower end of five stars. It hits all the right notes for me. Good location both in terms of where I am when I want to go for icecream and being by just enough parking. The service is friendly enough. The selection is just large enough. They have seating. Their packaged take home ice cream is a notch above safeway (or wherever else you go to buy ice cream). They have a mix of choices for how your ice creams served. They have outdoor seating, which, if you're out at night in Oakland is usually what I want. It's not flashy but it hits the spot at a reasonable price. If you are regularly in the area and haven't tried Humphrys it's worth it. If you're visiting Oakland I wouldn't trek far for it over, say Fentons, but I wouldn't trek choose if if you're in the area over making the drive to somewhere else (which I can't say about some of the competition).

Ordered the matcha doodle flavored ice cream with waffle cone. Came out to be $8 for some very okay quality ice cream (granted the cone costs $1.5)#disappointed

Great location with outdoor seating. Reasonably priced, friendly staff. Ice cream was really tasty!

Was searching for a post dinner treat and found Humphry's on Yelp! I really enjoyed the concept and all the unique flavors that they have. The little trailer is adorable. There was a long like with only one person working, I've worked in food so im always chill and def understand. She did a good job and was kind and let everyone have their samples. I tried a few and settled on the s'mores sundae and it was only okay. My friend got a brownie sundae and was salty. We sat at Drakes Dealership to eat and chat which was cute! I would like to try them again, maybe something else, to see what else they have.

Humphry Slocombe is a Bay Area must, nad we're lucky to have one just north of Downtown Oakland.First, let's give it up for HS for doing samples. Gone are the days where you can sample ice cream flavors...I feel like that's so rare these days post-pandemic. Second, there was ONE person working the entire ice cream truck. Props and shoutout to you love! They're located inside "The Hive" with a bunch of other shops like a barber and just around from Drake's beer garden. They're a takeout situation, they share communal space with other shops and a tiny table but it's more of a grab-n-go vibe.The menu is easy to read in large chalk and by the ordering station. I had to go for the Secret Breakfast as that's one of their namesakes. The crunch of the corn flakes and the delicious but not overly sweet bourbon vanilla was the perfect choice on a warm summer night. I also sampled the strawberry blondie which was tasty, but one the sweeter end for me. I love me some berry ice cream with the yummy texture of a cheesecake or some graham bites, and the blondie cake was very satisfying. I was curious about a bunch of the others but didn't want to hold up the line, so I will def be back to sample and try the others next time. My friend loved the honey graham ice cream.The service was so kind and sweet. We got great scoops that felt very generous, and I love that HS supports local events as I saw some flyers here and there for other local biz and events. Highly recommend stopping by HS for a taste of a Bay Area local ice cream joint.

Highly recommend the Berry Kouign Amann as one of Humphrey Slocombe's best flavors EVER!Actually got their famous Secret Breakfast. Always a good choice and throwback flavor with bourbon and cornflakes but then sampled their Berry Kougin Amann and was blown away by the flavor and texture. It tasted like light blueberry and strawberry mixed together with flaky pieces of crossaint. That's what it tasted like to me, and I absolutely loved it.Seriously a medal winning flavor!Also, great staff here who were not stingy with samples and who were kind. Great experience today!

A bay area staple and for good reason. The special is the secret breakfast but I will say that all the flavors that I have tried are amazing (in addition to all of the wonderful service). At least on this particular visit I got a pint of the cornflake crunch and a single scoop of the salted caramel with cocoa nibs. If I have one piece of advice it would be to get the salted caramel. It was a lovely mix of salty and sweet and the crunch of the nibs just really brought it all together. Again, I have not met a flavor I did not like here so try a bunch!

Came across this ice cream place while searching for dessert in the area on Yelp. My husband and I were not disappointed at all! I can't remember what flavor he got but he said it was super good. He got his in a sugar cone while I got my single scoop of Hong Kong Milk Tea in their homemade waffle cone. We arrived at a perfect time with only one person in front of us and once they left we were helped by the nice lady. She allowed us to have many samples which we really appreciated since it was our first time trying this place! We almost couldn't decide which flavor we wanted but went for the most unique since we're not local to NorCal. There's a small seating area nearby so we took out cones to enjoy our dessert there, and that's when things really picked up and a huge line formed! There's lots of street parking available nearby and some parking lots (but you'll have to pay to park there). Sundays on the street are free! I am definitely keeping this ice cream company bookmarked so I can try it again when I'm in town!

This place is and amazing sweet tooth craving treat after a long night. My favorite scoop of ice cream was the cornflake scoop because it was so spot on. Adding cornflakes on top was the chefs kiss because it complimented the cornflake ice cream and added a nice crunch. The cornflake ice cream came with surprising chunks of sweets like a dough of some sort that I absolutely fell in love with. Our bottom scoop was the peanut butter fudge ripple and I also thought it was pretty good. The texture was dense but it just melts in your mouth after that first bite.

I swear, this place gets me on the way out of Drake's every time (unless it's closed or the line is busy). It's such a convenient little ice cream stand, and everything from single scoops to "S'mores" (scoop of ice cream, fudge, graham crumbles, and marshmallow brûlée) is killer. It's also cute that it's tucked away off Broadway in the Hive pedestrian alley. There's a life-sized chess board nearby too, if you want some strategy with your scoop.
