Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop

An amazing place to have quality ice cream .. crowded all the time but no worries you will be served quicky .. chocolate with hazelnut in biscuit cup is tasty

I had the Espresso Escape, and it tasted pretty good, just that it had more chocolate fudge sauce in it that espresso ice cream . :( Also, the staff seemed pretty sad. All but one had mopey faces.

The milk Hot fudge is absolutely divine. Usually I’d got Ocean Beach or Strike It Rich with extra Hot fudge on the side, Why not? The Sea salt caramel hot Cocoa unfortunately has changed recently!

Not as good as the Belgian chocolatiers but the most popular one in the USA. Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate is awesome and highly recommended!

What's not to like in a chocolate shop ! You get s free sample as soon as you step in through the doors!

Free sample at the door. Mostly big bags of Squares on sale. They do have items with "Chicago" on them that make for great gifts .

Nob hill chill is past amazing!

The focus is on the ice cream , but plenty of chocolates , hot chocolate and mochas too.

Free Sea Salted Carmels as you walk in- doesn't get much better than this! Oh wait, then I tried the Sea Salt Carmel Hot Cocoa .

Free sample when you walk in! Tasty chocolates and you'll find flavored you didn't know existed!

Ice cold dishes for dine in ice cream treats. Chocolate ice cream was great

We had fun here!

Nice little spot to get ice cream and sit outside to watch people walk by

So crowded . They do have some flavors of minis that you can’t get in regular grocery stores .

Get fresh bananas with your dark fudge sundae . If you want a smaller sundae , ask for a one-scoop sundae .

Butter pecan ice cream is good with caramel sauce ????

Free samples when you walk in and 10% off for using Foursquare, what more could a girl ask for?! Hot chocolate looked ahhhhmazing.

Doesnt matter which ice cream flavor do you pick, you have to put the dark hot fudge chocolate on it

Try the Vanilla Sundae With Caramel - (via @Foodspotting)

Try the Golden Gate - Aka banana split (via @Foodspotting)

Be sure that get a hot fudge sundae with two spoons!

Taste tested hot chocolate here and Hershey across the street. This is the best easily.

If you are up to the challenge order the Earthquake Sundae . It's 30 bucks but is oh so good! It feeds more than one person, too. Let's eat!

Great chocolate . Limited ice cream flavors .

Grab a gift bag of assorted chocolates for your loved ones back home. A delicious treat.

free coffee with chocolate filled croissant

Nob chill hill with dark chocolate fudge is the bomb!

On the warmest day of this summer, or any day for that matter, treat yourself to the greatest sundae ever. The "Domingo." You will not be sorry. Ciao.

Nob Hill Chill is meh. The hot fudge freezes too fast and the shake is mild for a vanilla shake .

Free samples as you walk in the door. Fall special? Pumpkin spice . Sooo good.

Make sure you try the salted caramel hot cocoa . Delicious!

Get the Nob Hill Sundae ! It's so very luscious and chocolatey !

Definitely get the regular hot chocolate ! Supa dank

Service is awful but the chocolates are yummy. This place is always busy even with Hershey just across the street.

Sundae with a view

Get the hot fudge brownie sundae ! Absolutely the best!

You can never go wrong with free chocolate !

Free samples of chocolate squares are delish

The regular hot cocoa is right in the dictionary under 'delicious'

If you don't order the cookie bottom sundae , you're a fool.

The brownie sundae .

How did this store and Hershey end up next to each other? I clearly know a winner though :)

Hot fudge brownie sundae for the win

Whatever you order, make sure it involves hot fudge . Dark chocolate hot fudge is a personal favorite.
