    We went to Double Rainbow twice over our weekend stay in Benicia. The service was friendly on both visits and the store is very clean and fun. It's got a great vibe with ice cream decor that you can sit on to enjoy your ice cream and they also have a double rainbow light and art on the walls plus a train track wrapping around the top of the wall in the main sitting room. I don't know if the train works but we hope it does. There were many flavors to choose from and pretty looking sundaes. We enjoyed our ice creams and sherbets.

    My kids and I like to come here for an ice cream before a walk every once in a while. They recently moved locations. They have really yummy ice cream, they also have sorbets as well as some vegan options. I really enjoy the ultra chocolate. I've also tried the bubblegum and rocky road. Their ice cream is really creamy. My oldest enjoys the green mint chip and my younger one likes their birthday cake. The staff is nice and the place is cute!

    Double Rainbow has always been our favorite local ice cream spot. They just moved to a new location, not too far from where they were. However, I am unsure about the flow of their new location. Only one of the two doors are open/being used. The line to order ice cream is really awkward. It's so compact and I felt like being in line, I was in the way of those who were done paying for their ice cream and were trying to find a way out. Other than their new location always loved that they served Gunther's ice cream and the plethora of desert options they have, including milkshakes, smoothies, ice cream sandwich, banana splits, and more.

    There are very few ice cream shops in the Bay Area as cute and colorful as Double Rainbow Cafe. Not only do they have delicious ice cream and other treats, but this place is cute as a button. The owners, who also own Majestic Cafe as well as Rainbow Froyo, are great at creating the most family friendly atmosphere to their establishments. They care about giving back to the community by setting up toy donation bins for Christmas and will give you a discount if you do. There is really nothing I love more in supporting a local business than seeing one that is so supportive to others. The ice cream here is great! Double Rainbow ice cream is local to the Bay Area and there are other establishments that sell it, but it is always creamy and delicious. I tried a few of the seasonal flavors like the gingerbread and the peppermint candy cane. I love holiday flavors! My wife had an ice cream sandwich that was quite unique with brioche bread, ice cream and toppings, and then it is pressed in a panini machine. It's very good! We sat at a table with ice cream chairs while Christmas music played. It's the perfect setting for good times with your family!

    Solid, cutesy, ice cream parlor. Food: They had the regular stuff and some specialties, such as their fruit freezes and grilled ice cream sandwich. The fruit freeze was really good. I didn't have the ice cream sandwich, but it looked delicious and I'm definitely trying that next time. Service: Service was solid. There was a pretty long line, and they were able to get everyone through fairly quickly. Ambiance: Definitely kid friendly. I don't know if I would go here if it was just me. But if you have kids, they'll love it. There's a lot of cool ice cream decorated seating and places to take pictures. Verdict: Take your kids here, they'll get a kick out of it.

    Very solid ice cream spot with uniquely decorated space. Second time coming here and the ice cream choices aren't anything special but the quality of their ice cream is really good. I normally don't like birthday cake ice cream but this one was different. They used real cake in the ice cream. Dine-in experience is unique and very kid friendly. I highly recommend trying to this place when around the area.

    Greeted upon arrival. Clean shop with cute seatings and tables. Lots of fun seasonal flavors for their ice cream and even a midnight vanilla cone that was black. I got thr almond joy while hubby got the taro.

    We came and took our Granddaughter here for a scoop of Ice Cream located in Benicia, CA. The place is nice and clean and very kid friendly. The layout is nice and service was great. She ate her ice in cream there while being excited about the table and seats that appeared to look like a Sundae or Banana Split and ice cream. She very much enjoyed this place.

    Taro ice cream plush strawberry fruit freeze. Refreshing.

    Simple next door ice cream shop with plenty of flavors. My favorites are taro ice cream on top of the real guava fruit freeze. Fantastic and refreshing tropical flavors. Today they are almost out of guava so I got strawberry fruit freeze instead topped with taro ice cream. I find that combining a scoop of ice cream plus a scoop of fruit freeze balances the creaminess of the ice cream and makes it a super refreshing treat!

    I like walking my dogs in benicia. This place is on our route! I appreciate this place because they have White pistachio flavored ice cream. They also serve gunthers. They have waffle cones that are different flavors like lavender, red velvet, and birthday cake. They have seats inside that are in the shape of ice cream and cones. Service is friendly and efficient. great location on the main street.

    Stopped by for the first time while walking down 1st Street and was pleasantly surprised. We were curious about the flavor selection and ended up trying two--both were great. The place is clean, well-organized, and packed with a wide variety of ice cream flavors. The staff was friendly and offered samples, which helped us decide. Even with a line, service was quick and efficient. I'll definitely be coming back!

    A Benicia staple for dessert! The decor inside was very colorful and cute! If the right food influencer found it I think it could be a viral hit online. Double Rainbow Cafe offers a lot of dessert beyond ice cream. We had trouble deciding but ultimately chose the pumpkin ice cream in a black vanilla cone and the grilled smores ice cream sandwich. They also had a variety of coffee desserts. I was tempted by the tiramisu drink. The desserts were very sweet. The grilled s'mores was made to order. The brioche was very soft. It took a couple bites to get some of the chocolate. Then it did taste like a s'mores! I like how they have an ongoing monthly fundraiser. Certain desserts will have 15% of the proceeds go to a local cause. I was quite amused by the written description of one of them. It was something along the lines of ""The Evil Landlord". We'll likely be coming back at some point if we are craving dessert in the evening before they close at 9pm.

    The mint and chip ice cream was delicious and so was the Taro Milk Tea. We got fast service and it was clean inside. We will be back.

    I'll have to come back when in town, but I enjoyed the assortment of things I purchased from them…read more I definitely want to go back and try the paletas. I wasn't in the mood for them, so I skipped them but sounds like I need to try them. I tried some of the assortment of pan, and each of the things I got was solid. I enjoyed them all and wouldn't be against eating them again. They have a number of different things available to choose from, and I had some choices to make. I'll definitely be hack to try some other things. I also got a licuado, and it was delicious. I got one with mango, but they have a number to choose from and I'll try another one when in town.

I've never had an issue until this visit, which is why I feel the need to share this experience. This was my first time purchasing a cake from here, and unfortunately it was extremely disappointing and concerning. When we cut into the cake at home, we noticed odd gray/green discoloration inside the cake, uneven texture, and areas that looked wet and broken down. It also had this awful smell and the appearance alone was enough to make us stop eating it immediately. This does not look like normal cake coloration or texture, and it raised serious food safety concerns. Cakes, especially those with moisture, fillings, or cream, should be closely monitored, and it seems like this one may have sat on display far too long. This is not just about taste or quality; someone could genuinely get sick from consuming something like this. What's disappointing is that I genuinely like this place and come here often, which makes this experience even more frustrating. I really hope management takes this seriously and re-evaluates how long cakes are kept on display before being discarded. Freshness and safety should never be compromised. I'm sharing this not to bash the business, but because I believe they can and should do better, especially since many families shop here regularly.
