    1 Scoop
    Sumi K.

    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)

    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!

    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.

For this location, the shop is located inside the Kinokuniya Mall in Japantown in San Francisco. [Parking]: There are two parking garages - The Main Garage (1610 Geary Boulevard) and The Fillmore Annex Garage (1650 Fillmore Street). Parking rate = $5 per hour from 12 PM to 6 PM and $3 per hour outside of those hours. I got lucky and was able to find metered parking spots near the intersection of Buchanan St and Sutter St (free on Sunday). [Atmosphere]: Matcha Cafe Maiko is located on the first level of Kinokuniya Mall. This is mostly a takeout only spot with no indoor tables and limited chairs available. [Menu]: Most visitors come here for the matcha soft-serve ice cream. The shop also offers the Golden Sho-Gun 24K gold soft-serve ice cream. Other items include sundaes, parfaits, lattes, cream foam lattes, and teas. *** Soft Serve Ice Cream (Matcha, Cone - $6.95): Amazing ice cream - creamy and dense with a strong matcha flavor. *** This is a fantastic matcha ice cream shop - two big thumbs up. P.S. - If you are already at the shop, this is also a good opportunity to check out other shops in Kinokuniya Mall and the adjacent Japan Center Malls.

    Review #1,093 Posted on 7.23.26…read more I had read on here this spot had a rep for having Filipino inspired flavors and wanted to surprise my wife and daughter with a little treat after some local burritos before we went to see Ella Mai while in town in the City on Saturday the 18th. You walk in and grab a number right away to get in line for your order. They probably had 10 people working at the counter helping people get their orders fulfilled, it's that packed here. The ice cream was very good. We all 3 got double scoops, each of us getting the ube, and then 1 other flavor. The ube is a must, super awesome flavor of ice cream, I also tried the coffee toffee crunch, which was excellent. I'd for sure will return here for ice cream in the future, highly recommend.

    If you're into frozen milk, this certainly is a place to enjoy it!…read moreThe cornucopia of flavors is staggering. I believe they've been around since 1953. I myself have been going in there since 1984. I'm not really into much dairy, a little cheese from time to time and the occasional child's scoop. But as far as ice cream, you scream, there's no place better on the planet. I'm sure! I mean, avocado ice cream? Shut up, hand me a spoon! Take home a large handpacked portion and forgo a small order. You see, a child's cup of coconut is $5.50 but a 1/2 gallon is $15. You see my point? Simply ask for a sample taste of anything you want for free and then run home and share a tub with friends, and family. My wife sent me in there for the DURIAN which to me smells and tastes like gasoline but it's a slice of Nirvana to her! Two heaping bowls, and she's still raving about it! Fuel for her soul. Parking could be very frustrating and it's always busy. There's one of those pull a number things like at a deli to keep the crowd controlled. Make sure to grab one when you walk in the door or you may set yourself back a handful of customers. But if you're getting a tub to go, there's a special line for that, like a quick service register. Maybe grab a box of cones too to save on dirty dishes back at the crib!

They have a policy where each person can only try three flavors, in the interest of keeping the line moving. The inside is a bit cramped with some seating inside and a refrigerated cabinet with ice cream based treats, as well as a cute spot for "dog parking" by the door. I really like their giant ice cream figurine outside. The first time I visited, I tried their dark chocolate sorbet and mascarpone gelato. This combination was absolutely HEAVENLY. The chocolate was rich and not too sweet, and the mascarpone tasted exactly like a tiramisu. I am always amazed by how they can get chocolate sorbet to taste just as good as chocolate gelato, as there isn't any milk. The second time, I tried their matcha blackberry ice cream and strawberry sorbet. The matcha was smooth and strong, and paired beautifully with the two summer flavors. The strawberry sorbet is limited to only a few weeks and it's so, so good, like summer in a cup!! This is one of my fave spots in the city for classic flavors with perfect execution. I can't wait to try their coffee and pistachio flavors!

I always get the strawberries and banana with Nutella, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. The crepe won't last long, you'll eat it right up. My partner opts for a strawberry and whipped cream option, with raspberry jam- simple in comparison to my order. Sophie's is always our starting point in Japan town, and once you've placed your order, you cannot revise it.
