I love me an ice cream place with mind bending flavors. I just imagine there's some guy in the back just picking multiple flavors out of a hat and then who takes it to some creamer guy. Then they're like okay we are going to make an ice cream with these 3 different unrelated things. But then sometimes the idea guy is like, "I bet you can't turn this food/theme into ice cream." Then he's like "watch this." And thats why this place is so good. That's what I love about an ice cream place.I tried a lot of flavors. Settle on this triple threat and a ginger flavor deal. All of it good. The only bad thing is it's hard to tell what they specialize in. That requires me to try 7 different samples before I decide. All in all, this place is a real deal ice cream place and belongs with the elites.(4.7 Stars)

I finally crossed the threshold for a delightful treat after dinner. The smidge portion was perfect. What a fun environment especially with a shop full of little ones. They were happily enjoying themselves.Staff was kind and composed. The line was out the door by the time we paid. Only 2 people in front of us when we arrived.

My family and I decided to get a sweet treat after our dinner out on December 31st. Surprisingly no one was there when we came in around 8pm. I first ordered a hot chocolate which was good, nothing too special then I decided to get a scoop of vanilla ice cream with fudge sauce & whipped cream. Service was amazing and very helpful. There is some seating inside + a restroom.My family and I had the same consensus that the ice cream wasn't the best we've had. It was okay.

Tried the single scoop of Year of the Snake - their seasonal flavor on rotation! It's a ginger flavored ice cream with sesame seeds and red bean paste. It was a little too sweet for my taste and I wished there was chunks of red bean instead of just a swirled-in paste. A single scoop was $5.50 which is on the pricier side but you can tell the cream is very authentic and high quality.

TLDR:A cute little ice cream shop with homemade ice cream made on the premises. Friendly energetic service, cozy seating with dark wood paneling and local art on the walls. Good stuff!Our VisitScan over the regular and special flavors in the front window, or on the menu inside. Can't decide? The happy servers will gladly provide samples served up on cute little metal spoons.You'll find more than the usual sizes of ice cream here..If you feel like having just a tiny bit of ice cream, they offer a "smidge" which is a cute mini-sized cup or mini-waffle cone that is about half the size of a normal single scoop serving. The single scoop serving is a good sized scoop for sure. Want two flavors? The double smidge is the way to go for that.That said, my favorite flavor here is the Mint Chip, so I upsized it to the standard single scoop size to split between us. Yum!We've been here many times. We try to pop in here anytime we are near 9th and Irving!Getting Here:Easy access via the N Judah Light Rail, and surprisingly easy parking on a Friday evening. A short walk over from Golden Gate Park too, with plenty of other restaurants around to have a meal before you come here for dessert. =)

One of my favorite ice cream shops in the Bay Area! They have a selection of usual suspects but also a few rotating experimental flavors. Try a flight for when you can't decide or want to split. Or grab a pint to go if you fall in love at first bite.

Came by for a little sweet treat and ordered a double smidge because I wanted both a classic strawberry and one of the seasonal flavors that was mango coconut sticky rice. The sticky rice flavor didnt have the ratios of mango to stick rice that I was hoping for, but the strawberry was delicious. The scoops I got for double smidge were much larger than I was expecting, and I'm very thankful to the person who served me for being so friendly and generous!As always, a great local neighborhood business to come support, it was busy as expected on a warm weekend afternoon, but service was quick and I elected to walk to the park with my cone since the benches outside were all filled.

I came on a weekday afternoon so it was fairly empty. I sampled a couple flavors before going with the seasonal pumpkin cheesecake and mint chip. The mint chip was the best of the two. The flavor is strong with fresh mint. A true mint flavor too, not the green toothpaste icky mint. I quite enjoyed this one. The pumpkin cheesecake was fine upon sampling, but when having the scoop, it was actually very grainy and a bit crumbly. It didn't have that smooth, creamy ice cream texture as the mint chip. It is more pumpkin than cheesecake, in my opinion. Overall, it was fine. I don't think I would ever go out of my way to get it, but wouldn't say no if passing the area and cracking ice cream.
