Everyone seems to try the famous Secret Breakfast flavor , which has bourbon and cornflakes , but I like a combo of Vietnamese Blue Bottle Coffee and Dulce de Leche if you can get it. Read more

Serious Eats

Hard to go wrong at this ice cream spot known for its inventive flavors, but Vietnamese Coffee and Secret Breakfast are two menu staples for a reason. Sundaes are worth the splurge.

Shirley Liu

I still like the secret breakfast and blue bottle Vietnamese iced coffee best, but make sure to ask to taste (peanut butter curry , olive oil , and malted milk chocolate ) :)

Bommy

Secret breakfast seems to be the most popular but my vote goes to the blue bottle vietnamese coffee flavor. Has lots of more exotic flavors too!

May Lee

you can basically try every taste that you want - personal favourite is always black sesame !! Blue bottle Vietnamese coffee is also a good one if you like really, really rich coffee flavour

Peter

ice cream was delicious - besides the classic chocolate mango/carrot was a nice change. Huge scoops but for $4 for one and $6 incl tax for two one should expect that. even trying before ordering is ok

Sahar A

So many great flavors! Try Harvey Milk + Honey Graham, Horchata Rose , Pumpkin Nut , and Dark Chocolate Smoked Sea Salt . Even their Tahitian Vanilla is delicious. Basically you can't go wrong.

Ashley Rose

Happy to let you taste as many flavors as you like -- and they offer a half scoop if you just need a taste. Secret breakfast and The Bakers way were two solid options

Mattie Wilson

Humphry Slocombe boasts beet , foie gras and cheese ice cream , among others. The prosciutto ice cream , studded with salted pig steeped in milk with fennel seeds and black pepper , is a local favourite. Read more

Staff Picks

New York can keep its cronuts . San Franciscans have Humphry Slocombe's duck fat pecan pie sundaes . They've been doing them at the 24th St location, but now they're available at the Ferry Building. Read more

Amy Matsuno

Everyone raves about the Secret Breakfast (bourbon and cornflakes ), but the true winners here are Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee and Harvey Milk (honey and honey grahams). Creamy delights.

Brian Park

Here's Your Damn Strawberry ! Just one of the top class ice cream flavours available here. Blue Bottle Vietnamese, Secret Breakfast, and the McEvoy Olive Oil are also super tasty!

Val

Update for vegan , dairy-free ppl. They are partnered w/ @eclipsefoods and are serving their Mexican hot chocolate flavor. Eclipse is delish but HS vibe is still weirdly celebratory of animal death

CNN

Humphry Slocombe has earned the right to it's quirky flavors because they’re actually good. Really good. Like, kill-the-guy-before-you-in-line good. Read more

Tom Coates

It tends to open around lunchtime, which has caught me out a number of times. They’ll let you try any of the flavors before you buy. They’re all great but the baseline strawberry is extraordinary.

travel4food

Great funky ice cream flavors . Yes, that's what they're known for. What surprised me was the deft had at balance. Great job guys.

Jean Umel

I know everyone goes for the secret breakfast, but I'm more traditional so I like the Tahitian Vanilla and Much better Pecan it's smooth and creamy at the same time. Try it out you won't regret it.

CITY GRIT

We love the innovative flavors but we also love that we can stroll down to the Ferry Building location when we’re staying downtown. We’re currently obsessed with the Hot Toddy Sunday.

Social News Network

Mind-blowingly good ice gream. The chocolate smoked sea salt flavor may sound bizarre, but the combination of the rich chocolate with salt creates an explosion in the mouth!

Meri's Food

Spectacular ice cream place to discover new flavors. Love the classics, Secret Breakfast and Vietnamese Coffee . Recommended by Ferran Adrià.

Ms Helene

Peanut butter & malt chocolate . Skip overly sweet secret breakfast & blueberry toffee . 2 scoops is huge. Get a single and ask for 2 half servings

Ina Li

Went for their secret breakfast flavor . At the beginning it wasn't too impressive but later on the cornflake really is working well with the bourbon and vanilla . 4dollar 1 scope

Cameron McLean

Secret breakfast and black sesame were both amazing. Grab a coffee from the place next door to drink with your ice cream ! Best coffee I've had in awhile too!

Chloé Mayer

this place is the bomb - and there's never a line like at Bi-Rite. Worth the out of the way trip to this corner of the Mission. If they have the prosciutto ice cream ....GET IT.

Kylie

Either the darling or the dud of the Mission, depending on who you ask. Pretentious ice cream people will say Bi-Rite has better texture / consistency; non-pretentious will love the funky flavors.

Karla

It's all good. The line is long because everyone tried flavors before buying. So get on the bandwagon and don't feel bad about doing the same thing.

Pei ???? Wen

Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee is my new favorite. And their vanilla flavor is the best among all vanilla flavors I've ever had in any ice cream .

Andrew C.

Wow, the ice cream here is awesome... So creamy and rich. It also means it melts super fast, so get down there now and eat quickly!

Adrian Phillips

If you try two flavors, go with the Secret Breakfast and Malt Chocolate . They don't split a single scoop so just get a double and be happy.

Tobias Schmidt

Had the Vietnamese coffee & Harvey Milk and both were so good I find it hard to imagine I would have been disappointed by any of the other flavors

Jose Palomares

Ice cream and sorbet is the deal here, just a few flavors but some of them really good. Ask for a sample before choosing yours!

Amanda Natividad

One scoop each of Secret Breakfast and Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee . (But be sure to first try a few samples of other flavors!)

Square, Inc.

Order the Secret Breakfast and pay at the counter with Square Wallet! <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="https://squareup.com/wallet"target="_blank" data-sig="TCRvMyfnUyTzBM3XctGbTdDBaG4=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">https://squareup.com/wallet</a>

I strongly recommend to come here. If you like ice cream . Flavors are unique and terribly great.

J T

Secret breakfast is the most popular flavor and worth the hype. The Vietnamese blue bottle coffee flavor is really good too.

Zakk DeVine

The Secret Breakfast is out of this world. sweet and savory and salty all at once. Amazingly surprising flavor, I should have gotten a bigger scoop!

Jake Kaufman

Make sure to get experimental and try some unusual flavors. The peanut butter curry or salt and pepper are great.

Alexa (@ladylexy) Andrzejewski

Try the candy cap mushroom ice cream - Yes yes yes yes yes! It's back! Candy cap mushrooms are truly a miracle of nature. (They're the ones that taste like maple syrup !)

Jennifer Anderson

Fact: it's perfectly acceptable to visit Bi-Rite Creamery and Humphry Slocombe in one afternoon because the walk between them is uphill both ways.

shalzers McGee

Can't decide between Secret Breakfast & Chocolate Smoked Seasalt? You don't have to! They sell 1/2 & 1/2 pints.

Akiko I

Very adventurous and unique flavors. So hit & miss. But high quality, even in SF, they'll b the top 5 quality ice cream shop .

Katherine M.

Andrew's pick, due to experimental flavors. I don't like it here. I think the flavors are heavyhanded, like a Zoe Deschanel hipster who is like, "Oh my god, you guys, I'm so quirky!"

Luka

Everybody knows this ice cream parlor — flovors differ from vanilla to prosciutto . Get Secret Breakfast ($11.84), it's to die for Read more

Daniel Bremmer

They're ferociously inconsistent. One bite is the most amazing thing you've ever had (secret breakfast, lime basil ) to downright amateur (every other sorbet ).

Ros Hodgekiss

You can't go past the Vietnamese iced coffee ice cream . Or any of the other flavours, for that matter. Or the fact that each scoop is the size of a prize-winning pumpkin .

jennifer han

everyone raves about the secret breakfast but the real mccoy is the sweet summer corn . it's like biting into corn on the cob which sounds wrong but is so right. trust.

Stella Lee

Get the Secret Breakfast. Enough said.

m d

I would say I like ice cream here the best in San Francisco.

Amanda Aizuss

Harvey Milk and Honey Graham! I got it on a cone , and it's one of the better non-waffle cones I've had.

Karla Donjuan

You can try as many as you want! Secret breakfast and strawberry my favorites!
