Koolfi Creamery

Really really good ice cream! I stopped by recently to grab a scoop after work. The store is really small, so don't expect to lounge around and eat your ice cream. Surface was fast, but I can see on a busier, hot day there being a long line.I got the koolfi flavor, and it was really good. I typically don't love cardamom, but it was light enough and balanced with the nuttiness super well. The chunks of pistachio throughout adds nice chew too!Definitely will be back to try the other flavors.

Indian ice cream in FiDi? Sign me up! It's situated in the midst of corporate buildings near Salesforce Park, and the owner really put in the effort to make the inside a nice and welcoming spot! I love the Indian influences, and they sold some small baked goods and drinks as well.I went ahead and got two flavors after trying a bunch, sticking with the klassic koolfi and the guava fresh. The indian flavored ones felt more unique, as this wasn't actual kulfi but felt more like regular ice cream. The flavors were solid, though a little sweet to me. They seem to have rotational flavors so it seems like I will have to come check it out more often to try all their flavors! I wished they had real kulfi on a popsicle, that would really take me back to India. But come give this place a try!

I was excited to see that what was once Susie Cakes is now an ice cream shop!My coworkers and I originally saw Koolfi when they were closed, but we were interested in the flavors and items they offered. It wasn't until this month during a coffee run my work bestie and I saw they were open.Koolfi is near Tender Greens on Fremont street. It's not hard to miss since there's signage up! Koolfi offers such an amazing spin on ice cream. Most flavors are Indian inspired, but they also do have some flavors that are German and American inspired. There were only six flavors on display, but they do rotate their flavors. If there is a flavor you love but it's currently not on display, they also offer pints of ice cream in all other flavors they produce! I believe you can only taste up to 2 flavors max, so I'd recommend choosing what you really want to try. They also let us taste them in these cool spoons they sell in shop! You can either opt for a single scoop, split single scoop, a double scoop, or choose from the other offerings they have. They even have affogatos, warm brownie sundaes, an ice cream scoop flight, and much more - even dog treats!! They also have sweet and savory pastries that looked equally delicious as well. This place is pretty small, so I'd only recommend at least 1-2 people at a time to order their items and to leave. There isn't seating inside, but there are plenty of tables outside to enjoy your treat. My coworker and I ended up getting a split single scoop, which was $6.99. You are able to choose two flavors.I ended up getting the Kadak Chai and South Indian Filter Coffee, which blew my socks off. THEY WERE BOTH SO DELICIOUS.My work bestie ended up getting the South Indian Filter Coffee and the Pumpkin Pie flavor.GEEE WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN???? The Chai was SOOO flavorful and I'm not a huge fan of Chai either, but I absolutely loved this. The flavor was strong but not bitter at all. You can taste the aroma, the spices, and the tea all so well. The ice cream was smooth and it made a perfect afternoon bite.The South Indian Coffee Filter was such a beautiful blend of coffees into 1 ice cream. You definitely tasted such a sweet and smooth coffee blend. It was absolutely a harmonious blend eating it with the Chai. I literally regretted not getting a double scoop because both flavors were SOOO GOOD without it being overly sweet. WHAT WAS NOT ON MY BINGO CARD THIS YEAR WAS HOW DELICIOUS THAT PUMPKIN PIE ICE CREAM WAS. Holy!!!!! It's like they smashed a whole pumpkin pie in there and it embodied the taste of fall. I was gobsmacked by how it tasted exactly like a pumpkin pie without it being overly sweet or too much pumpkin. The owner mentioned her wife helps toasts the spices which omg!!!! You definitely can feel and taste the love in there.I will honestly come back whenever I'm in the office because this ice cream spot is so good!! I was so glad my work bestie and I stumbled upon this place because it's delicious! I can't wait to try the other flavors they offer.

Koolfi Creamery is a great spot for a weekday pick-me-up, conveniently located near the Salesforce Tower. While the space inside is compact, there is limited outdoor seating available. My friend and I tried the sampler and loved the mango lassi! The service was warm and friendly, making the experience even better. If you're in the area, would recommend stopping by for a treat!

I got a scoop of Hot Mexican Hot Chocolate which pretty much tasted just like that. A cool place to get ice cream in the Financial District area.

I think this is more of a 3.5. Most of the ice cream flavors were good, but I didn't like the red bean soy caramel flavor. The red bean flavor wasn't very noticeable and I didn't taste any caramel or soy. Klassic Koolfi was very unique! The pistachio and cardamom were perfectly balanced and added a fragrant, nutty flavor without being overpowering. Mango Lassi was also quite refreshing and true to its name. I would come back to try different flavors.

Perfect for an afternoon sweet fix serving up uncommon (for here) ice cream flavors. Seems to get a bit busy around 3pm since everyone else in the offices nearby is thinking the same thing. I especially love their sundaes, as that really jazzes things up.Gulab Jamun Sundae w/ Lotus & Rose Kamala Blossom Ice Cream: Such a fun combination. Warm galub jamun against cold ice cream and all that nice gulab jamun syrup. It's kinda like a fudge brownie sundae concept but Indian. I got the Lotus & Rose ice cream because floral against dough sweet cheese balls was a nice balance. Very creamy. Loved the rose petals and pistachio topping.The Noodler Falooda w/ Klassic Malai Koolfi: Really enjoy the mix of add-ins with the chewy thin pink noodles, the slimy basil seeds and the sweet mango. Chose the malai ice cream, which was a good creamy offset to all those sweet ingredients. Though it seemed they only used on scoop of ice cream and a lot of milk. Which was a weird texture since the ice cream wasn't blended in, it was just like a big cold lump in milk.South Indian Filter Coffee in Dosa Waffle Cone: Really tasty waffle cone made from Dosa batter, so a great savory contrast to the sweet ice cream! The coffee ice cream was a bit more intense than regular coffee ice cream, which I enjoyed. Just a perfect afternoon treat.Potato Playa Bun: Enjoyed the slightly spicy smooth potato filling against the fluffy bun. I could totally see how this would be a great snack on the go. So much flavor and great texture contrast.Khara Bun Butter Congress: It's like a light sandwich with lots of butter and some peanuts as filling. The onion bun is nice of fluffy. I liked the tastes, but the peanut texture in a sandwich was a little weird.

I love both the Blueberry Cheesecake and the Raspberry Pepper ice creams that I've had here. There's rarely a line and the person scooping is always on point! Very casual place, but plenty of outdoor sitting. Imagine they'll be popping during the warmer days of the year!!

Tldr - what's not to love when it's tasty local, queer women owned indian inspired ice cream that serves up unique flavor combos like guava and chili or jackfruit and coconut! a sweet gem in the heart of the financial district hidden by west salesforce tower with quiet outdoor seating Friend and I tried a few flavors including the tamarind, malted chocolate and jackfruit and coconut! The ice creams were really creamy and flavor profiles were amazing - the jackfruits fruity/banana like flavor complemented the rich and cream coconut while the tamarind had a beautiful palate cleansing sour note that went well with the classic chocolate flavor service was fast but i would say their ice cream prices are a bit steep at $6 for a small single scoop but they seem to use good quality ingredients food: 5/5service: 4/5ambiance: 5/5value: 4/5

I went here in the evening and it was pretty packed with people getting off of work so we had to wait in line for about 10 minutes or so but the cashier was very nice and thanked us for waiting. They allow each person 2 samples so I tried their most popular flavor Klassic Koolfi (Malai Kulfi), and the South Indian filter coffee, both which were decent. I came here because I wanted to try a scoop of their mango lassi but they didn't have it out and the server said that each day (or week I can't quite remember) they rotate out the flavors that they scoop but they have all of their flavors for sale in a pint size for you to buy which I ended up doing instead. My boyfriend got their Bombay Butterscotch but he didn't really like it and said it was too sweet and tasted more like American butterscotch compared to the butterscotch ice cream he had growing up in India. I had some of the mango lassi and it tasted just like the drink so I was satisfied. We also got their doggie pop but it was super frozen so we couldn't take it out of the cup so our dog licked it from the bowl. He didn't seem too much of a fan since he only licked it a few times then became uninterested but that could have also been because of the stick in the center.Overall, I think this is a very cute spot and it's great to see new ice cream flavors being inspired by Indian cuisine since we don't have any other spots like this in San Francisco.
