Amy RobinsonSeptember 6, 2014Salted caramel was delicious, you really only need a small though. Get it in a cone.
Chris LeeOctober 27, 2014Ice cream flavors taste like the real thing for better or for worse. Mint chocolate chip is delicious and tastes like biting into a mint leaf. Squash is not great, like eating a cold pumpkin pie.
Warning: the ice cream is dense and delicious and the regular size is large. Add toppings.
AnissaDecember 23, 2012This was the BEST mint ice cream I've ever had! But be warned, it's a strong fresh mint flavor!
John Manoogian IIIMarch 10, 2014Don't want a full scoop? There's an off-menu baby size scoop you can order: just ask for 'The Munchkin!'
Paresh DaveJuly 14, 2012Smooth as promised. Get the berry sundae for $7.75. Sub the flavor of the day for the vanilla. Ginger peach was sweet as tho didn't taste the ginger much.
Get the mint chip or earl grey if they have it! Lovely, subtle flavors.
Puu KampolratanaFebruary 12, 2015Liquid nitrogen icecream machine sounds exciting but the salted caramel doesn't suit my liking at all. The earl grey is alright though. The Bi-rite creamery does the earl grey better in my opinion.
Amy YFebruary 28, 2015Single served ice cream prepared with liquid nitrogen -- you won't get texture like this anywhere else
Bernice ChowJuly 25, 2013Get the honey nectarine if they have it! It's a subtle taste and you probably won't find it anywhere else:)
Max Blue 🚴🍔November 20, 2014Be aware that the regular size is biiig. - go for the Salted Caramel with the chocolate sauce
Whiskey PatriotJune 20, 2011seriously the best ice cream you will ever experience! and they use Square to pay with which makes me love them even more!!!
Danielle C.June 16, 2013You must try their salted Carmel ice cream with TCHO chocolate sauce - sooo good yet not too rich!
Bobbie McLellanFebruary 12, 2017Had the cookie dough ice cream. A tad too sweet, but overall delicious.
Maya ShanmugamDecember 30, 2015Best mint chip; refreshing and not cloyingly sweet unlike others out there.
I absolutely love this place! Get the Creme Fraiche ice cream with cinnamon short bread topping.
jocelyn L.August 20, 2012COCONUT BRITTLE should be added to EVERYTHING and ANYTHING! and always get the waffle cone- only way to go!
The vanilla is just incredible. Simple, creamy, and perfect.
Yuri RamocanAugust 12, 2017Ice cream made with liquid nitrogen. The cookie dough sundae (not the exact name) was great. Limited choices, however.
Gilt CityJanuary 3, 2012Founder Robyn Goldman has wheeled her way through a string of food blogs, onto national TV and into this 40-foot corrugated shipping container in Hayes Valley.
Order two kiddie-size instead of one regular size so you can try more flavor combos (hint: they're all good!)
Haleigh TutrowNovember 25, 2012If they have the Apple Cinnamon flavor, get it with the brown sugar caramel sauce! It tastes exactly like an Apple Pie Crumble!
SaliemJuly 26, 2015The flight is a good option when your family of three each wants a different flavor
Don't miss the popsicles and ginger beer floats in addition to their incredible ice cream!
Yera HaOctober 13, 2015Personally didn't think it was worth the hype but the fun location is definitely worth a visit
MiguelMarch 8, 2014Extremely creative flavours changing regularly. Go for the weirdest ones... you won't fail!
Lora ShmoraSeptember 16, 2011Super rich taste, ordered a regular size chocolate with the candied pralines, more than enough to feed 2 people!

"Great people watching park with lots of shops and food vendors in the area; a beer garden just across the street."
Danielle Ebstein - 8.7
"A fenced-in outdoor bar in the middle of Hayes Valley, Biergarten is a fave with Euro expats (my German father-in-law loves this place) and beer-and-brat loving locals alike."
SFist - 9.2
"Consistent pour overs with a lighter roast than Blue Bottle's, and a shorter line to boot. Grab a seat outside and enjoy the sunshine!"
