    I haven't been to a cream in years and it was nice to see this location in the mission. My husband and I both got a cookie sundae which did not disappoint! One tip, sometimes the cookies can be a little firm, so I always ask them to warm it up, and that makes all the difference!

    This is a great option for a quick ice cream stop in the Mission Dolores area, especially if you're looking for something open a little later! I got the coffee, which had a really nice deep flavor but was a little on the icey side. The mint chocolate chip on the other hand tasted really fresh and not artificial at all (a personal pet peeve of mine for mint flavored food)

    solid icecream spot, icecream wise. service- meh - the person was annoyed i asked for samples to try... i got a pint scooped and the guy behind the counter was a bit stingy lol... it was like $11 before tax which i think is pretty pricey... so you would think to just treat the customer with kindness. anyways, the ambiance was cute - blue walls simple and clean. my friends who live here said the shop changed alot from when it first opened to now. mmm. curious if it'll still exist when i come back to visit again!

    It was so good. I loved every bit and bite of it. The person here told me that I can get two different kinds of cookies and I did. Both of them were great and I have chip and cream in the middle with mms. It was so good.

    Came here with a big group after dinner and while the inside isn't too spacious, outdoors is not bad at all. Creamy ice cream with some sweet flavors but definitely some original or classic flavors as well. However, I think most of the options won't be anything special so hopefully you're willing to experiment otherwise another spot might be better. Blueberry Cheesecake - my go to is strawberry cheesecake actually and I've had blueberry cheesecake gelato - this comes pretty close. Rich and creamy, you could try to convince me it's gelato.

    Ideal location on Valencia and 16th with nice outdoor seating! Mint chocolate ice cream was as expected and the white macadamia cookie was warm. The staff were friendly and generous with their portion size! I would highly recommend!

    Ice cream at CREAM is pretty solid and will hit the spot where you're craving ice cream, cookies, or a brownie. They specialize in adding the ice cream between those cookies or on top of brownies. The cookies and brownies are probably better than the ice creams which isn't a bad thing, but it's definitely unexpected when they're an ice cream place by name. Thankfully everyone behind the counter is fun and easy to talk to. We went around dinner time and didn't encounter a line at all. The inside has mostly standing room to eat along the windows so don't expect to find a table to sit down.

    Went here 20 minutes before closing. The clerks behind the counter shooed us away and said they 'had a lot of cleanup to do' We watched them make themselves milkshakes after driving 20 mins to come here. We asked them twice to come in. I recommend avoiding this business.

    Although they don't serve variations of buttercups, A Buttercup is one of the few dessert houses…read moreoffering Taiwanese-style treats like Bingsoo, Milk Bread Toast, and other Asian fusion creations. I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

The coconut strips were also the perfect addition. Super decadent and overall the perfect sweet treat I agree with the other reviews that portions + presentation are a bit disappointing, but it was still undeniably tasty food

    This is my third time coming here and I'm a fan every time!…read more Hokkaido Mille Crepe Cake is my favorite. It's not too sweet and I love the texture and layers. Kaya Pandan Toast is my second favorite. I'm a fan of the bread and how the ice cream mixes with it. Mango Tango is pretty good. Good mango flavor, a good mango bingsoo. The Black Thai tea crepe has a really good tea flavor. The Thai Tea flavor comes out really well. The Japanese Crepe with condensed milk and Oreo was alright. Definitely a lot more interesting and better desserts. They were sold out of the Hokkaido crepe cake another time. 6:45 PM on a Sunday. Never had that happen before. Got the Thai crepe cake instead, which was the only cake not sold out. I like the Hokkaido more. Overall, the dessert is not too sweet! Service is solid. Nothing too crazy or attentive, just average. When it's crowded, the food does take a bit to come. Can get crowded but overall a cute location to eat in. Food is definitely very shareable and I'd recommend sharing with a few people.

The line moved relatively fast and the service was great! You can't sample too many, but the ones I did sample were amazing already mmhmm! I ended up getting the matcha and jasmine milk tea, both of which I LOVED!! My friend got an interesting combo... PB oreo and thai tea LOL he also ended up liking his a lot.

Thankfully the line moved fairly fast, and when I got close to the front, I saw that they allow three samples per person to keep customers moving. The store is larger than it looks with some seating along the sides and back. I opted a small cup of the lychee black tea and auntie Kendra's garden. The lychee black tea was INCREDIBLE, strong, strong tea and fruit flavor, perfectly creamy, and not too sweet. The more memorable of the two, however, was definitely Auntie Kendra. It was a vanilla base with salty plum juice, passion fruit, and preserved lemon peel. The delicate vanilla, the lemon aroma without the sour tang, the floral, exotic passion fruit, and the unexpected punch of salt and earthiness from the plum juice, this is a WHOPPER of a flavor. Every bite allowed me a new appreciation of the layers of flavors in this scoop. While a bit pricy, Garden creamery is on par with the other local ice cream spots in SF and well, the flavors and my enjoyment of them speak for themselves. I will definitely be making more trips out here to try their other flavors!

    A very accurately named store! Can't go wrong with shaved ice for dessert, no matter the weather…read more They have so many flavor options that literally cover an entire wall, with a plethora of toppings too! All of their flavors sounded good, and I wish I could sample all of them. I ended up going with the Valencia in a regular size so I could avoid decision anxiety; this was a preset bowl of horchata shaved ice with different toppings that was exactly what I was craving. My friend got the other preset option, Cereal Killer, which tasted just like fruity pebbles ice cream as promised. It looks like a lot when first presented to you (like so high and so fluffy), but as you eat it, the toppings start making the ice sink lol. A more manageable portion size after that :) Their shop is small with not much waiting room besides a bench against the window, and I think most people go to their outside tables to eat their shaved ice. Not super ideal for cold windy evenings like when we went, and we huddled in my car to finish them. Definitely mind any shaved ice that might topple over the edge when you first dive in since they pack it real tight. Worth your moola! I will absolutely come back to try other flavors and still order a regular just for myself :)
