I love this ice cream spot. My favorite is always the vanilla maltball flavor then the vanilla whisky next. The ice cream sandwiches look small but wow they're super filling bc the ice cream is super densely packed and the cookies are rich, I had to share mine and the best part was they don't melt or fall apart. The line can get long but it's worth it. I really like how they don't rush you when you're trying flavors, the music is always good and the workers have been fantastic in energy and service each time. I also enjoy their non dairy ice creams, very tasty that I don't even blink if I try one and if I like it then I like it. I always like the coconut flavor and thai. The soft serves are so good and I like the raspberry sauce on the side. I usually take visitors here and so far, they've all liked this place and adore the inner alley shops. read more

Waited in a long line which is something I'd never do, but I was with friends that I hadn't seen for a long time. I tried the vegan coconut. Small cup. Small flavor. Meh..... Friendly staff at ordering. Cashier curt and dismissive. Been there done that. read more

EXCELLENT vegan soft serve and waffle cones. I've had several flavors--today was orange creamsicle, and despite not sounding like a flavor I'd be into, it was soooo good. HOWEVER, I really wish they wouldn't let people bring their dogs into the store. I found a dog hair in my ice cream from one of the two dogs that went in right before I entered. I also watched a woman let her dog pee ALL OVER the floor near the entrance... and that was what I saw in just a few minutes of being there. It was disgusting!! When I left there was a puddle of dog pee inside. The owner clearly knew her dog did it but she pretended she didn't notice and left it there. I get that everyone wants to be *dog friendly* now but come ON! I didn't complain about the dog fur in my ice cream because it wasn't the fault of the employees, but my god... I beg the owner of Curbside Creamery to reconsider allowing people to bring their dogs inside. The employee who helped me was very nice, though! 5 stars for Curbside Creamery, but please oh please I don't want to find dog hair in my ice cream again! read more

First time trying craft soft serve. Must try the malted vanilla. There are plenty vegan flavors. There were enough tables and benches outside for a large group at night. Perfect post dinner dessert spot if you're around Temescal. read more

Fabulous Thai tea ice cream that's not too sweet and the TT flavor is apparent. My mom got a chocolate soft serve, which she liked. Service is friendly. We brought our dog and they were fine with us bringing her in while we ordered. Though we ate our ice cream while waking the dog, Curbside does have some tables. Would love to come back and try more flavors! read more

Great selection of flavors, great service, cute little walk in and out ice cream shop

The nectarine was so good and refreshing, I love summer fruit! Their coffee ice cream was so light and fluffy. I've had homemade ice cream that is very dense, but curbsides was the opposite of that. Cute little shop in a small alleyway. They even gave us a punch card! Excited to return and try their chocolate and soft serve. Very friendly and kind service. read more

Curbside Creamery is such a charming neighborhood gem! The ice cream was absolutely delicious, and I especially appreciated the wonderful selection of vegan options. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend stopping by! read more

Review is mainly about service vs the ice cream itself. But I gave it an extra star as I thought the 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. read more

SOOOO GOOD!!! Stopped by because my boyfriend knew they had vegan ice cream, and I am so glad we did!! I tried a sample of their Mexican chocolate ice cream (dairy) which was so tasty and I would've totally gotten it if not in a dairy-free mood. I ended up getting their peanut butter fudge (vegan) ice cream in a waffle cone topped with chocolate sprinkles. My boyfriend got the cookies and cream (vegan) with rainbow sprinkles. The dairy free ice cream (these with a cashew base) was veryyyy flavorful, and I was especially pleased with my peanut butter. The waffle cones, oh wow, they were so delicious. It tasted like they were freshly baked and it made every bite all the better. The worker serving us was super nice and welcoming!! Will 100% be coming back + telling all my friends! read more

Delicious! My bestfriend been trying to get me to come to this place for so long, and I finally said yes LOL. It was around 9 pm so the line wasn't too bad. Parking is street parking. There were tables in front of the entrance for people to sit, chat, and enjoy their ice cream! I am incredibly grateful for all the vegan options, as I am (sooooo) lactose intolerant. You were able to sample flavors, but I went with my gut and chose lemon cream (v). It was so yummy! I love a heavy lemon flavor and it was just that. 10/10 My bestfriend got a bourbon whiskey vanilla (I didn't try it bc no dairy for me lol!) she ranked it a 10/10. I will be coming back to try more flavors! Love it! read more

It's almost fair to say I come here for their handmade Chocolate Waffle Cone... but, of course I love their ice cream too! Their Vanilla Bourbon ice cream is truly a perfect blend of the whiskey notes and rich vanilla bean. Unless I love both the available soft serve flavors (they always have one that is intriguing) this is one of the rare places I almost always order my usual! A neighborhood staple that is open late. read more

We were in Oakland, wanting to try out a new ice cream spot. This one came up on Yelp, and it was fun 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. read more

We were pleased with this place and its offerings, especially the vegan, non-dairy options! I would say the flavors taste very strongly of their bases, coconut, cashew, etc. We chose a salted caramel soft serve with a cashew base and it was delicious. I think the cashew provides a bit of a grimier texture. This was definitely more salty/savory than sweet. I think those expecting in soft serve may find that the texture is soft serve but with a little something extra. There are also only two soft serve flavors, one of them being non-dairy, so our decision-making was quick. read more

I've been going to Curbside for years and nearly every single experience has left much to be desired. 1. The service is horrible almost every time. If you don't like kids or don't like questions, find a new job, honey. Ice cream isn't just about the dessert, it's about the experience and tangible joy that comes with it. 2. Prices aren't awful for ice cream in Oakland but you'd get more bang for you buck uhhh... anywhere else. A single scoop is more like a single spoonful. 3. The range of flavors is actually great. There are a lot of vegan options as well as regular ones. 4. Ice cream quality varies. Some ice cream has ice chunks, other cones don't. read more

This was our final stop in our adventure day! We weren't sure what the flavor of the day was but we were happy to see that it was matcha. The dairy soft serve was matcha and the vegan soft serve was vanilla bean. We both chose to get the swirl and that did not disappoint. I ordered it on their homemade waffle cone and that was TASTE TAY! The cone had the right about of sweetness and crunch. There was a little line to get your soft serve and there are ice creams I'd like to dive into next time. I hope to come back for a surprise visit soon. read more

Staff is hilarious. :) Love a place with some personality! Also the ice cream was amazing! The Thai tea flavor was very rich and almost buttery, maybe even brown butter? Whatever they put in there it's honestly a mind blowing Thai tea ice cream! Mexican chocolate was great, and was actually complex and didn't just taste like cinnamon like some other places do. Make sure to come earlier than u think for a late night treat, as the line gets so long they have to stop people from joining! read more

Hard to beat curbside! Especially if you want amazing dairy free options, both cashew and coconut based.

Was in town visiting my sister for the day and she took me to all of her favorite vegan spots. We couldn't end our night without a sweet treat, so ice cream was a must. Curbside creamery is literally curbside, hence the name and just a small shop with roll up doors. There is no seating inside but this is not meant to be a sit down type of place. There is seating located just outside and the vibes here were so much fun. There was music playing, people dancing, and larger groups of friends laughing and enjoying each other's company over some ice cream. There were several options to choose from such as soft serve, ice cream sandwiches, vegan and non vegan ice cream and even pie. The flavors ranged from classic chocolate to unique roasted banana walnut. Staff were very friendly and helpful in trying a few flavors before making your decision. I went with the cherry almond (non vegan) on a waffle cone which was such a hit. My sister got the cookies and cream (vegan) which was good but had a chalky texture to it. read more

Quite literally on the curb, it looks like it's operated out of a garage. However don't let that fool you, Curbside has a great selection of both vegan and non-vegan flavors. From classics like strawberry and chocolate, to a rotating list of great coconut and cashew-based ice creams. If you find a flavor you like, you can bring home a separate pre-packaged pint. Beyond just ice cream, they also have pie. I know, kind of a weird dessert combo, but honestly not bad. I wouldn't eat them together, but individually? Count me in. Curbside is a nice little spot to grab a dessert after eating dinner at one of the numerous restaurants on Telegraph. read more

One of the only places open past a certain hour - it was fairly early still but most stores on this alley seemed closed. It was easy to drop in as their doors were wide open and inviting. I don't remember ever coming here in the past. It's a small establishment, but they have a lot of unique flavors to choose from. I appreciated how they have a good selection of vegan and non-vegan and sorbet options. Some classics and others in rotation. Peanut Butter Fudge (cashew based - vegan opt) & Salted Caramel (non-vegan, regular opt) was my 2 scoop in a cup selection. I requested to sample the following which were also very good: - Young Coconut (coconut based - vegan opt) - Bourbon Whiskey Vanilla (non-vegan, regular opt) - Cookies n' Cream (cashew based - vegan opt) I wanted to try their Matcha and Grapefruit Sorbet too, but didn't. Friendly staff! I would keep coming back just to checkout what flavors are being offered b/c I found them to be so interesting! read more

Not sure what to say. Just that I pulled a white hair out of my oatmeal ice cream. Nothing else really matters now. Good bad .... Doesn't matter. There was a hair. Kinda looked like a cat hair or hair from a fluffy blanket idk. read more

We popped in here on a Saturday night around 8pm and had a delicious experience! There was a line, but we didn't wait longer than 10 minutes. I loved my bourbon vanilla ice cream, my husband really enjoyed his coffee ice cream, and my 7 year old liked her salted caramel ice cream. We appreciated the fact we were able to try samples before ordering. It was also helpful to have a junior scoop option, along with multiple cone choices (chocolate waffle cone, waffle cone, sugar cone, cake cone)! Definitely worth a visit. read more

such a cute store literally on the curbside in a garage-looking space. i went ~8:30pm on a thursday and the line was still out the door (it moved pretty quickly though!). they allow you to try the flavors which are ever changing. i went for the pistachio ice cream w the chocolate soft serve and it was so good. love the bits of actual pistachio nuts and sweetness paired with the creaminess of the dark chocolate!! they also have free cake/sugar cones you can add as well~ theres a lot of seating outside the shop, so we enjoyed sitting and watching the crowds go by,, i already know this is going to be one of my top ice cream shops :) (p.s. they also have a buncha vegan ice cream flavors + pies!) read more

Best strawberry ice cream ever!!! One of our favorite ice cream spots in the east bay, ice cream is extremely creamy and the waffle cone is great read more

I'll speak for my fellow lactose intolerant community that curbside has one of the best dairy free selections in the east bay! When the weather is nice it's fun to come to the alley way with a friend for some icecream. My favorites flavors are the cookies and cream, peanut butter fudge, and Thai iced tea - they let you sample of course. They have different selections for cones. Service is quick and friendly usually, although we've had one sour experience towards our group, and be prepared to stand in a line since it's well loved! No indoor seating area, just outside surrounded by sweet stores to explore. read more

Great service! I like the vanilla ice cream with malt balls Place is small and a bit hidden read more

Service is ok but the soft serve ice cream tastes like powdered cashews blended together and soaked in heavy cream. Maybe it's good if you're vegan. read more

I don't know who needs to hear it, but this is the best ice cream and the bay area hands down. Every time I come here I get the cherry almond ice cream and every single time. It is so delicious and creamy and rich with almond flavor with cherry tartness to even it out. Waffle cone was crisp and fresh. The ice cream server was so nice and let me try some of the flavors before ordering in which I found a new favorite flavor.. coconut! which is vegan. It is great to see they have so many vegan options! Soft serve is great as well. I love the Thai tea Flavor. It is a small shop with only outdoor seating and there is usually a line out the door so be prepared for that. Parking is minimal as well per usual in that area so be prepared to look around a bit. read more

The ambiance here is colder than the ice cream We truly felt like we inconvenienced them by ordering. We felt so unwelcomed and noticed that other's walking in felt awkward by the eye rolls and huffing and puffing happening as well. Everyone working here is annoyed and irritated and they WORK AT AN ICE CREAM SHOP. Lucky for them, the ice cream was delicious so they got some stars for that. However it is NOT worth the lack of service. read more

Was in the neighborhood for tacos, but while walking past this place, I couldn't help but seek out icecream after catching a waft of their waffle cones. After sampling a few flavors, I opted for a single waffle cone with their sweet corn and pistachio. There was a miscommunication between the workers because I was served sweet corn and Thai tea, but I didn't care enough to correct them since I also enjoy Thai tea. Both icecream scoops had very pronounced flavor, but some bites were quite icy, hence the 3 stars. I say the selection is good for large groups with varying dietary restrictions as there are many vegan options available. Another plus is that the portion sizes are fair for the price. The flavors are also on the more unique side, but I feel they could execute the icecream better. read more

Great service, fun staff. Stopped by after ramen for a late evening sweet treat. Went with a waffle cone, Thai tea and Coffee scoop. Sometimes vegan scoops lack the creamy element but these were both good. Thai Tea was 9/10, Coffee 7/10. Funny enough my nephew's cone was cracked while filling so the gentlemen added a second cone, then I was like I'd the same and he hooked it up. read more

Absolutely delicious ice cream!!! Tucked away in the back alley, we were brought here by the incredible aroma of their chocolate waffle cones being made. The salted caramel one was vegan, made of coconut. Didn't really hit the spot for me. The flavours that really hit me was their Mexican Chocolate as well as their Whiskey Vanilla. The slight whiskey kiss was super seductive. The spiciness of the Mexican chocolate was perfect!! Definitely coming back to try more flavours!! read more

The vegan ice cream was so creamy and not so sweet which was perfect for me! I'm so excited to go back and try other vegan flavors and pick up a pint of the corn ice cream read more

Amazing selection of ice cream (dairy and dairy free options) and soft serve. Even though they had such an extensive dairy free selection, they were also very accommodating due to one of us having cashew allergy - used a new scooper and was very mindful of scooping the ice cream. I personally enjoyed the dairy free (cashew milk) soft serve. Pistachio with dark chocolate swirl were amazing. We just sat on a bench in the nice alleyway with all the small business shops and enjoy it with a nice sunny day. read more

Curbside Creamery - Dairy free soft serve twist and ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Oakland, California

I have sampled ice cream everywhere and feel very strongly that I live within walking distance of the very best. Every out of town guest that I brought here over the past 9 years has asked me take them back here, no matter how long ago they visited me. They *remember* this place as the highlight of their trip, hands down favorite. Lots of ice cream places have unique flavors and vegan ice cream. Very few have that and top shelf taste and consistency. I just had a serve twist of Salted Caramel (Vegan) and Dark Chocolate (dairy) with rainbow sprinkles in a waffle cone. It was crazy delicious, and I rarely give that kind of review to ice creameries, especially of a soft serve. They have both dairy and vegan versions- sometimes even of the same flavor! Their ice cream sandwiches are so good, that my daughter cuts them in half so she can slowly savor them over two days. Why?! They are made from cookies that are brilliant on their own - ginger snaps or vanilla shortbread. My favorite is Earl Grey ice cream sandwiches with English shortbread. But the mint chocolate chip with chocolate cookies sandwiches is a close second. The service is kind, warm, and also consistent. read more
