Definitely a top ten San Francisco ice cream joint. Delicious ice cream made on the spot, a scenic locale. Parking is challenging, so take a cable car or uber.

Best ice cream in the city ! Perfect location to walk around the touristy areas and people watch . I had sticky chewy chocolate which is on par :)

Ice Cream & Cable Car Outing! Savor a sundae at Swensen’s Grill & Ice Cream in Russian Hill (try the Hot Fudge Bonanza!), then take a cable car down to Ghirardelli Square for a stroll by the water. Read more

The best ice cream in town . Splurge for the sundae or chocolate dip . It's worth is. Sticky chewy chocolate is my everything

Amazing ice cream ! Lines get long as people like to try a lot of flavors - just do the same, they’re all worth testing!!

I had the chocolate chip cookie dough and the green tea ice. Both were phenomenal!

Love ice cream at Swensen 's got to be there every time in town .

Amazing ice cream . Try the lychee ice cream . Forget the cone get it in a cup and walk the streets of San Fran!

Small scoop on a small waffle cone is the perfect after-dinner dessert . Green tea flavor is not very good, should've gotten turkish coffee or sticky peanut butter .

Authentic Ice Cream !!! LIT 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 must try: Sticky Peanut Butter

You've made the trek here (perhaps up a large and unexpected hill , like I did), so try something unique, such as the Swiss Orange Chip .

Orange chip and Black Raspberry Marble are both incredible.

My go to place for the best ice cream !! And they have awesome customer service!!

There’s no sit down at this location. But it’s good to get some ice cream after a walk from crooked street

Mocha chip FTW! Can't go wrong here, though. Awesome local ice cream .

Best ice cream I ever had.

Best banana ice cream I've ever tasted. Get it with the chewy chocolate . Insanely good.

Sticky chewy peanut butter (if you're being bad) or orange sherbet (if you're being less bad)

Ice cream here is delicious but also very creamy...you'll be full after one scoop so no need for two!

The chewy chocolate with the rocky road added is worth a try as I really liked it.

Sticky peanut butter and fresh banana make a good combination.

Does not serve burgers or full menu. This original one is just ice cream , so eat first and check this out via the Powell-Hyde cable car for dessert .

You absolutely need to try the sticky chewy ice cream

Best ice-cream in town .

Strawberry ice cream is the best, huge chunks of frozen strawberry in it.

Delicious ice cream . Sticky chocolate FTW

Open at 12. Grab some ice cream and hop on the cable car to Chinatown

Cookies n' cream is amazing! It is made with oreo cookies .

Caramel turtle fudge , mango , swiss orange are awesome!

Sticky peanut butter and sticky chewy chocolate . So good!

Fantastic ice cream if you're in Russian Hill

Yum sticky peanut butter . You can smell the ice cream from across the street. :)

Old fashion ice cream . Creamy, heavy and satisfied.

Try the Fresh Banana and Swiss Orange Chip flavors

Chocolate chip cone was very tasty.

Sticky, chewy chocolate is sooo good.

Go for the Sticky Peanut Butter . I will fight you, Bi-rite fans!

Strawberry sundae with strawberry ice cream

The best ice cream in the city !

Can you believe that Swensen 's is SO big in Asia? So many Asians come to take picture with the original store and get disappointed. ><

Waffle cones are good for sharing!

Waffle cone perfection

Turkish coffee is a great flavor

Swiss Orange Chip is heavenly.

Lots to choose from!!!

Malted milkshakes all the way!

Best flavor - French Vanilla Custard
