Olive Oil was adventurous and interesting. I'd say worth the risk, but I'd stick with vanilla or caramel for next time.
Robyn creates awesome flavors. I really enjoyed the spring herb ice cream - rosemary, thyme, basil & mint.
Hotel TonightAugust 16, 2011Don't be afraid of the line. The one-bowl-at-a-time experience is worth it. And add the nibs to your order.
Even though it's not on the sign, there is a 'munchkin' size - smaller than a small. You just have to ask for it.
The ice cream is really delicious but the place is overhyped. I'm surprised they haven't opened more locations yet.
Erica MarshallMay 7, 2012Nice rich chocolate TCHO ice cream, cool process for making it, but limited selection of flavors (3).
Ayaka NonakaJune 19, 2011If you enjoy complex, exotic, and delicately balanced flavors, get the Summer Herb. It's absolutely amazing.
Lori LeeDecember 7, 2013The mint chip ice cream tastes so authentically minty, not like artificial mint. Yummy.
Two people getting ice cream? Split a pint! You get way more for the same price.
Made to order ice cream. Simple flavors but really good.
Matt MartinMay 18, 2013Always add a $1 for the waffle cone. Small is one scoop, regular is about 2.5 x that.
Vivian WangAugust 10, 2016Stick to the classics, chocolate or vanilla. Actually can taste the difference
David DeathJuly 8, 2013Ice cream is good. Line is stupid. Try to find someone with the same name and just grab their cone instead of yours.
Jaydeep SinghOctober 26, 2013It's nice, but not the best of SF Ice Cream. Wished they had more variety. The Salted Caramel is the only one worth getting.
Cawa BungaJanuary 17, 2018Great ice-cream but seems like it needs to improve its operations - too much of horse play by employees. Service is becoming rude over the years. Owners need to look into this.
If they have mint chip order it. Don't ask questions just do it.
Best ice cream in SF... highly recommend the pistachio brittle!
Fresh mint with mint chip... the mint is truly fresh.
Michael CookAugust 17, 2011Fresh mint in the mint chip! Ice cream made to order with liquid nitrogen!

"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!"
