Really friendly folks serving a tasty variety of ice cream , including a remarkable variety of vegan options ; the vegan Rocky Road made it to my cone , which is a first for this dairy lover.

Chimney cones are only available from 2-4pm on Sat :'( but luckily the waffle cones are great as well ! They've got unique flavors like matcha+toasted rice , mango sticky rice , black sesame , and taro

Chuck Roslof

Really good ice cream , including the vegan options . The owner is from Hawaii, and that influences the flavors (several matcha options, haupia macadamia nut , thai iced tea , etc.).

The magic wonders of chimney churro cones are only available on Saturday from 2-4pm. Which is a good thing because I would stand in line for one everyday otherwise.

Fantastic ice cream . Highly recommend the ube and any of the matcha varietals (special nod to matcha gold)!

All the flavors are so tempting, but believe me you cannot pass up the mango sticky rice . Line takes a while but that’s because the employees are angels who let you try as many flavors as you want

Zeke Koch

Good coconut and cow ice cream . I had matcha and chocolate (both coconut based) and my wife and kids had the caramel banana (milk based). Everyone was happy. We'll be going back.

Very interesting flavors. Original creations. Different matcha variations are definitely a highlight. Friendly staff . Creamy high-quality ice cream . Highly recommended. 4 out of 5 cones

They take pint pickup orders on Thursday evening at 7 on their website. You get your order over the weekend. Missing getting scoops but this is a smart safe way to keep going until the pandemic's over

SFist

Handcrafted in Northern California, their small-batch dairy-free sorbets are coconut-based and sweetened with organic agave nectar . Flavors include Earl Grey , Orange Creamsicle , and Kona Coffee . Read more
