La Copa Loca Gelato

I am back to the Mission where it all began . I had to go to the original La Loca Copa ( crazy cup ) at Mission District location in the heart of San Francisco to get the scoop . This location is a neighborhood gem for over a decade when it comes to desserts. Sometimes the 22nd street La Loca Copa on a hot day gets as crowded as Mitchell's Ice Cream .There are lots of people of all ages coming here to enjoy scoops of gelato. The gelato flavors come in a range of different types of tastes like sour, sweet, not too sweet ,too sweet, savory and tarty. There is an emphasis of different flavors of Latin American food and fruit for their gelato and dessert offerings which reflects the Folklore of the Mission. I had the Mexican Vanilla and the Pistachio gelato on a waffle cone. It was a good tasty combination of sweet and savory. There are also crepes , croissants , smoothies, and sundaes available. If it's your mission to find good gelato then come to the Mission District on 22nd street between the streets of Capp and Mission. When it comes to gelato the two La Copa Loca locations are consistent and both menus match Come to the Mission and catch some gelato with a dash of agave and exotic flavors by the batch

Good gelato place in the Mission with many flavors, including sorbets. I had a rum raisin and an amaretto liquor - neither had strong alcoholic flavors. The service & ambiance are no-nonsense and there are few seats inside. There seem to be regulars coming to this busy corner shop!

Stopped by on a Sunday evening. Gelato is reasonable, maybe 3.5-4 stars, but the service and ambiance pull this place down.They have a decent selection of gelatos and sorbets. I got tiramisu and coconut on a cone. Consistency is decent, slightly on the colder and sweeter side though. The waffle cone was a bit stale, and really brought down the taste.Place is pretty spacious, with plenty of seating, the whole flow of the place is really weird. When you go in, there's some kiosks where you place your order, so it seems like they want you to order first? But that doesn't make sense because you want to see the flavors first, right? How many times have I walked into an ice cream shop thinking Ill get a half scoop, only to walk away with a triple scope on a waffle cone.. So we walked to in front of the ice cream counter to try flavors, before walking back to order. And then took the ticket to give back to them so then they can scoop out the ice cream-- really awkward flow for customers. The staff was nice and polite, but very quiet, and not very welcoming. The place was super quite when we went, so I would have thought they could have greeted us, and welcomed us to try flavors before order, etc.. I can see if you come here often, you'll know how to navigate it all and get straight to your favorite ice cream, but as a first time customer, this place unfortunately was a miss.

I recently went here for a sweet treat. Heaps of sorbets that are all vegan. There must be close to a dozen vegan sorbets and a few vegan ice cream flavors.I went with half strawberry sorbet and half dragon fruit sorbet. It was quite alright. Worth checking out if in the area.

Delicious and such a friendly and warm staff. Had the boys with me and they made sure it was pre-k manageable. Will definitely return

I absolutely love this spot! They have concha ice cream sandwiches, milkshakes, and even gelato to go. Every time I've been here it's been awesome flavors and nice staff! There's places to sit inside, outside, or take it with you on the go.

Roasting in the city today so we decided to get some Gelato.I can dee why people like it because it's convenient and has a large selection. I'll tell you why we didn't give it 4 stars. First off the Gelato isn't labeled and they woman gets mad at us for asking what flavors are what. Like for instance she asks us what other flavor can the white one be? Well, it CAN be coconut or it can be a cream flavored Gelato right? They also seem to dislike it when we didn't understand Spanish.I get how most people who come here do speak Spanish but you shouldn't knock us for not understanding. No samples given and it was really hard to figure out tge prices on the Gelato because the sign is so worn down. Skip the attitude and just focus more on how you would feel as a customer and you would probably get 4 stars from us.

What a find here in the Mission. First time here since Bernie Bee's is closed on a Tuesday. My friend and I are eating our way through ice creams so after my new favorite chicken torta Cubano, again, from That's It, we came here.Cute store with a surprisingly amount of flavors and menu options. It's a little overwhelming but we got through it with a simple double scoop of banana and espresso gelato and the make your own sundae with straticella, banana and coconut gelato with walnuts and chocolate shavings. Plenty of whipped cream too!The gelato is not heavy and the flavors come through cleanly. I do like my whipped cream with a little more sweetness as theirs was fairly plain in flavor.Next time, I'm going with the fruity flavors because my taste of passion fruit sorbet was delicious. Definitely coming back for more! Oh, and the price is great. Under $7 for my make your own sundae. Thank you to the owners for being friendly to families looking for an affordable treat. While we were there, plenty of kids with adults came in.Support the local businesses!!

Amazing flavors I adore Rum & Raisin and they do the best I've ever tasted. I tried all the flavors at different stages and they are just wonderful. So affordable and if you are having a dinner party they do takeout too.

Small unassuming gelato shop from outside, but I appreciate this place for its immense number of fruity flavor options. They have a lot of gelato classics (vanilla, hazelnut, chocolate, etc.) but their unique feature is the range of fruit flavors. We opted for watermelon, blood orange, passionfruit, and dragonfruit, and tried many more. My favorite was the watermelon - it tasted like true watermelon (not the fake watermelon candy). My least favorite was the blood orange - while good on first bite, the tanginess overpowered such that, against the sweeter profiles of the other flavors, it was too sour and bitter to eat. The gelato consistency was mostly smooth with occasional chunks of icy bits. Most flavors tasted great on the first few bites, but grew to be too much at the end. So maybe order small!Overall, love the emphasis on fruity flavors, but some of the flavors weren't as sweet or good over more bites, and the texture needed to be more consistent.
