We were in Oakland, wanting to try out a new ice cream spot. This one came up on Yelp, and it was…read morefun to try. I got the Roasted Banana Walnut, which was so good!!! They also have several vegan/non-dairy options for others too. Most of their non-dairy are actually cashew based, which is interesting to try. They also have soft serve here too, which I really wanted to try, but you can only eat so much ice cream in one sitting!! Overall, great ice cream place, no line either on the weekend. Would definitely drop by again if in the area.

Review is mainly about service vs the ice cream itself. But I gave it an extra star as I thought…read morethe ice cream was good considering it is vegan. Came in on a Sunday night with a big group. The employee would forget which flavors we wanted and rudely asked for all of us (who already got our ice cream) to leave the space as it was getting too crowded. Fair ask, yes. The way it was delivered? Just rudely said with a bad tone too. I also got charged for my ice cream when one of my friends had already paid for mine in front of me. I went to have it reversed, and he was saying how my friend paid for 6 singles and I got a junior size then there was nothing to be reversed. If anything we paid twice and for the wrong size. I get that it may have been confusing especially with big groups and long lines but it could have been handled more professionally.

This is like the Wanderlust Creamery of Oakland. Many of the flavors are travel-inspired and all of…read morethem pack a flavor punch. I had to be one of those people who sampled almost every flavor because I couldn't find immediate favorites. But the workers were totally awesome about it and equally enthusiastic about the flavors. It's possibly my #1 pit stop for dessert in the area. Above expectation: They sell chocolate squares containing lactase. Very accommodating!

Also tried their rose and lychee which wasn't bad. 3 scoops and it's a sundae that includes two toppings of which their roasted candied peanuts were a hit and the sliced almonds for even more texture.

There are so many inventive options on any given day, and there are always exciting new ones to try at each visit! I was inspired to finally write a review after hearing about some weirdos getting up in arms about a correctly-named ice cream inspired by a local legend, but to be honest this review was long overdue regardless because the ice cream really is worth it. If you're sensitive to lactose at all (even short of being intolerant), you'll most likely notice a difference in how good you feel after eating Bad Walter's compared to other dairy ice creams. I talk about this place to friends all the time, I don't think you can go wrong with anything they have here. Highly recommend subscribing to Sydney's newsletter to get the inside scoop (haha) on the goings-on behind the scenes plus getting the first look at the weekly menu, because sometimes the one on the website isn't updated as often!

This place is truly in a class of its own and its positive attributes are many. Lactose free! Rotating, seasonal, inventive flavors! Strongly rooted in community! Good sense of humor! Knows how to properly execute a peanut butter swirl!!! My ice cream intake has increased by 100% since the brick and mortar opened, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I have been here so many times so I'm surprised I haven't written a review yet…read more This place is quite a quintessential restaurant to eat at in Oakland Chinatown. They are open late and have plenty of seating and a huge menu to select everything you'd want. This time around we got mixed fruits in a crepe, strawberry ice cream with an eggette, ovaltine, milk tea and a baked chicken and rice to go for tomorrow's lunch. The desserts were decent and tasted like what you'd think they'd taste like. The drinks were soothing and the baked chicken and rice was the star of the show. It was savory with every grain of rice not going to waste with how delicious it is and the chicken was oh so, tender. The baked rice dishes are where they're at. The duck roll was also perfection. The duck was tender and the roll was crispy and chewy. Yummy! They have a $10 minimum spend per person so plan accordingly!

Very interesting menu. Order through UberEats and was pleased with the food and desserts…read more Pork chop with macaroni was great pork chop was juicy and tasty and sauce tasted good as well. Salad with shrimp tasted good and was perfect for dinner Wings was average Crème brûlée was not too sweet. Same with fruit salad

Go with the pints, seriously! A single scoop is around $7, but a pint is about $12, and if you grab…read moretwo, you get the third one free. That's an easy choice. I'm fully prepared to be that person at the store, scooping straight out of the container instead of bothering with a cup or cone I tried Pink Jesus, Matcha Snickerdoodle, Vietnamese Coffee, and Honey Graham Cracker. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Pink Jesus, but it ended up being a pleasant surprise. It's a blend of lavender and raspberry, with the lavender coming through more strongly, floral but not overwhelming. The Matcha Snickerdoodle and Vietnamese Coffee were both bold and very true to their flavors. You can immediately tell what you're eating, which I loved. The Honey Graham Cracker, though, was a bit too sweet for my taste.

I'm not a big strawberry ice cream girl, but had MULTIPLE bites. We saw them make the waffle bowl in front of us and I've never had a waffle bowl before, so this could be a "me" thing, but it wasn't as crispy as I was expecting it to be. But my boyfriend seemed to like it. My affogato was more of a coffee with a scoop of melted ice cream. They brewed TWO *DOUBLE SHOTS* and poured them in a 16 ounce cup w 1 scoop of ice cream. If you get an affogato, ask for it deconstructed so you can control the amount of espresso/coffee.

I'm only giving this place 4/5 stars because of their hours. I just learned that this shop in Jack…read moreLondon Square serves coffee, but it opens at 12pm 7 days a week. So when I'm in the area and its 7am, I cannot find a nearby place that sells coffee. Yes, there's buttercup around the corner, but sometimes I just want to walk downstairs, grab some coffee only and go. It's warm today. It's a beautiful day in Oakland today. The sun is shining and it's getting warm. As I'm walking, I smell something sweet like dessert. Sweet like the county fair. Next thing you know, I want ice cream, something of a Pistachio flavor. I see Ben & Jerry's sign as I'm leaving the gallery and I see i have time to grab some ice cream before I head out. She's making waffle cones, that's why is smells so sweet outside the front door. Menu items: What?! No pistachio. Awwww what to do, what to do? after studying the menu I see they offer alot at this corner shop. I opted for a smoothie. A pineapple/strawberry with a lemonade base. Not bad. It's satisfying, it's cooling me down. $11. Oh Sh!t, GotDamn. Well that's the Bay area for you. Everything is a few dollars more here. S-O-C-K-S. It is, what it is. See what i did right there? LOL Next time I stop by, I'll get a real dessert like a frozen bannana or a sundae on Sunday Funday. See you some more on Yelp 2026.

We were sent to pick up some ice cream, so stopped by this Baskin Robbins on the way to Oakland. We were the only ones in the store when we arrived. The sales person happily helped us get our prepacked quarts as everything was chained up in their freezers. The hubs already knew what everyone wanted, so it was easy grabbing the flavors. I'm a huge fan of peppermint ice cream, so when I saw BR had it, I decided to grab a scoop. Tho now thinking about it price wise, I probably should have asked if I could get a prepacked quart. If they exist that is. Would have been a much better deal. For some reason, we got two promo credits - one for $1 and another for $0.99. Maybe it was a special? Convenient if in the Emeryville area.
