Okay this was the most amazing ice cream shop experience i've ever had... The employee was so sweet and helpful to us. The inside decor is so cute and very clean and organized. The ice cream flavors are other worldly and DON'T get me started on their cones?! The lavender cone was so good I could cry. I ordered one scoop of half coffee blast and half lychee nut, it was the most delicious ice cream ever. I love this place, they even have donuts on weekends with selected hours and bubble tea!

Tried it today! Didn't get to taste the donuts because they serve them at a certain time. That sucked ! But my mocha latte was actually sweet to my liking . Better than most places that specialize in coffee. I loved the young lady with the glasses who rung me up today. Lots of personality. Really nice and down to earth. Cant complain about this place besides donuts not being available. I will be back. Maybe go back in the morning and double back for the donut! I had the donuts I loved them!!!! I even ate them cold!

We love walking here and getting Ice cream. For tourists, it's a must stop stop. I had to come on here and give a great review when we witnessed the owners doing the nicest thing for some customers who's card was declined. Their rating right now is 3.5 stars shockingly. I wonder if it's due to poor service from precious owners. Do not skip this spot based on reviews. Side note, they are very conscious of the social distancing guidelines which is great! :) read more

The cutest ice cream shop right off of 1st Street in the cute town of Benicia. There are not many Double Rainbow ice cream shops in our area, so we were surprised to find this one. This shop is so much nicer than most of the other places we have been to. Not only is it clean, but their staff is very friendly and they have the cutest decor. They have a chair and table shaped like ice cream cones. This location also sells freshly made mini donuts but only earlier in the day. This was our second time here and we were lucky enough to get there just as they stopped serving the donuts, but they had extras made. My kids got their normal ice cream cones and I got an assortment of mini donuts that includes the following flavors: unicorn, s'more, fruity pebbles and sprinkles. I tried my kids' ice cream and they were delicious. The donuts remind me of the mini donuts you can get at the pier in San Francisco. However, Double Rainbow adds toppings which makes it even better. Both times we came they were not busy and the staff was very patient as my kids decided which flavors they wanted. I know my kids will always want to pass by here when we are in the area, but I don't mind since this location is a little gem. read more

We come to Benicia's first street often and we weralways adamant on trying double rainbows ice cream for whatever reason. I'm glad we did because we fasho enjoyed our first visit here. We came around 4pmish and it wasn't busy; there were a couple guests inside. We got to try most of their ice cream/sorbet flavors and couldn't decide which one to get. They were all surprisingly delicious! The inside was clean and colorful. I couldn't help but notice the beautiful mural on the wall ( definitely a good spot to take a picture with or of your ice cream). We had a double scoop of soy mint chocolate chip and mango sorbet. Both flavors surprisingly went very well together. Super tasty, smooth, and flavorful. Service: there were two employees in the front. I was shocked to see one of the girls pick up a sample spoon and sample a flavor right in front of us. Pretty unprofessional and gross in my opinion. She probably thought it was okay because we are around their age group. They were friendly otherwise and gave a generous portion of each flavor. I like how they offer other products like bubble tea, shaved ice, and hot foods. Parking is usually difficult to find on the weekends but shouldn't be a problem on the weekdays, especially Monday. Anywhoo: do I recommend double rainbow cafe? Answer, hells yes. #FinallyELITE UPDATE 10/23/19: we got here around 1810 and there is only one person scooping the ice cream, making the shakes, shaved ice etc. very, very understaffed. The line has reached 6+ guests. The worker is however doing an exceptional job serving guests and trying to get things out quickly- this update is strictly for management to see. read more

We asked someone, whom I believe was the owner, if they had any sugar free flavors. He informed us that they only had sugar free vanilla, which was perfectly okay with us. He even gave my son some stickers! Super friendly! Can't wait to enjoy another scoop soon. read more

A cute little ice cream shop and cafe located in Downtown Benicia that serves ice cream, snow cones, cake by the slice, and other sweet treats. My sweet tooth ended up taking a friend and I here after eating at a restaurant nearby. There was plenty of street parking around and the place was pretty empty when we entered, but quickly started to fill up after we sat down. The shop was extremely clean and very spacious with a few tables located both indoors and outdoors. I went with a simple scoop of buttered pecan in a cup and I can't recall what my friend had, but he also got his scoop in a cup. We were still full, so we just wanted something light. My eyes got big just looking at all of the goodies in the glass case. Cheesecake and cake slices, brownies, cookies... I can see how someone could easily go cray in a place like this! The cashier and his fellow coworker looked like they were both still in high school. They were equally pleasant and I love seeing young people working efficiently. Speaking of high school, a gang of high school kids came in for their sweet treat fix right after we sat down. It got pretty crowded and very quick. This seems like the hangout spot for the local youngins. I would gladly stop by again to try out their cakes by the slice or snow cone the next time that I'm in the area. read more

As someone with severe allergies, I was relieved when the federal government mandated that all food products list which of the top five allergens it includes, if any. I've never been to an ice cream shop that couldn't find out if there was wheat in a flavor of ice cream. So, when I got to the front of the line and asked the server if they could verify whether two flavors had wheat in them, she looked me in the eye and said with finality "I'm not able to do that." Which surprised me. Two minutes later I saw that right behind her a gallon of ice cream was waiting to be put into their serving freezer. Ingredients right on the outside label. By the way, the woman who wouldn't even try to help me? One of the owners. Thanks, but I'd rather order from a place that at least pretends to care about the customer. I'm off to Baskin Robbins from now on. read more

Well...it happened again. The ice cream was so soft that it immediately began dripping down the sides of the cone and all over my hands. Pretty embarrassing since someone stopped to chat with me and kept looking at the mess I was dealing with. I'm pretty sure the management just needs to increase the coldness of their ice cream cooler. And apparently I'm not the only one who has had this unpleasant experience. 3/1/2018 "Unfortunately they don't keep the coolers cold enough and it's all melted." read more

Upon entering, you are greeted by a colorful environment. Just like their other business in town the owners are inspiring people to make toy donations to help families and kids in need. This is a place with a lot of heart for their community. The frozen yogurt itself is very good and the options for toppings is excellent! Almost everything you can imagine topping your FroYo with.

This shop here in Benicia is owned by the same people who own & run the Double Rainbow ice cream shop down on 1st. St. Froyo here at Rainbow runs .84 cents an ounce. They also have pint sized containers for $15. They had around 8 or 9 flavors ready to go, including my standby favorite Dole Whip Pineapple. I sampled the Dulce de Leche for the first time and loved that also. If you want a sample, the proper way here is to ask any of the employees, who will give you a small dollop served in a mini-condiment cup. Good deal of fresh & sweet topping varieties. Our two modestly-sized cups made a $20 bill go 'poof.' So, it's notably more expensive for Froyo here than ice cream is just about anywhere else, ounce for ounce by comparison. Didn't deter anyone though, as the store was bustling, lol. Everyone loves Froyo it seems. Consider signing up for their unadvertised/unmentioned rewards program, entering your phone number at the point-of-sale terminal to auto-enroll when paying. You'll earn a point for every dollar spent, and once you hit 80 pts. (or $80 basically) you get an $8 off coupon at current redemption terms. Cool spot for that occasional Froyo splurge on a hot day, if not a little costly as an everyday indulgence.

I just had the worst experience I think I've ever had at any establishment!! A couple of my mom friends decided to take our kids after school for ice cream. We weren't alone. It was hot and a lot of people had the same idea. We went to the outside patio to eat our ice cream. The kids were a little excited and making noise as a bunch of their school friends showed up. Some women came up and told us to keep the kids quiet. I apologized and told the kids to keep it calm. But the women wouldn't leave us alone. She kept walking by shooting us dirty looks and getting on her phone. I mentioned to my friend that I thought she was calling the police - ridiculous. Moments later my friends 8 yr old daughter came up crying cuz the women yelled at her. So just as we picked up to leave - the women came by again and launched an insulting rant about the kids and how she was the owner of the complex and she was kicking us off the property. I went in to double rainbow and asked about her - and the owner of Double rainbow went out to deal with her. Granted - that it's not Double Rainbow's fault that the landlord is crazy and feels the need to harrass their patrons - but the result is the same. I will NEVER go back. As I gathered the kids - The woman started yelling at some of the other customers. If I was the owner of Double Rainbow - I would move to another location. I may even sue her for loss of business. Oh - and as I drove away - the police pulled up. Totally insane that she would call cops on renters of an ice cream shop because of some children. Doesn't she know where her money is coming from? But then I noticed that most the spaces in the complex was empty and for rent. Gee - I wonder why....... read more

Double Rainbow is fantastic! The ice cream IS the best around and the sandwiches are delicious. I do not think under $5 is too much when they are freshly grilled and made to order - especially not when you can pay the same price at McDonald's for some unidentifiable meat on cardboard! The staff is high school/college aged - this age group texts - get over it! They are always more than willing to give suggestions or samples and have always been pleasant when I go there. As for the "chain restaurant" comment - not true, this is an independently owned business. And Double Rainbow orders their cakes from the same suppliers who service the most upscale eateries in the bay area. You will find their exact same cakes at a much higher price in 5 star restaurants!!! The majority of places do not create "homemade" cakes. All-in-all Double Rainbow provides great food and service - have a little fun yelpers and enjoy yourselves for once! read more

My boyfriend and I just moved to Downtown Benicia, and we just love taking our early evening strolls, which always seem to end at Double Rainbow...sharing a cup of incredibly yummy mint chocolate chip. The rasberry sorbet is mmmYUM too! The atmosphere is mellow, the prices on sandwhiches are VERY reasonable, the place is clean, the staff attentive and polite without being overly friendly or boisterous. Locally owned, and employs local teens...Yes, we kinda dig this place!!! This is the kind of place that makes small town living great! read more

Zero star rating I'd if I could. The owner is dishonest and rude. He overcharged my credit card at time of sale and refused to refund me. The scoops are measly for the high price. And the ice cream tastes like it has been n the freezer for years. Don't waste your money! read more

Some of the less common flavors include strawberry, pumpkin, coffee, and mint chocolate chip. Service has been great. If you want you can even ask for a random assortment of ice cream sandwiches. At times the parking can be a little limited since there's a popular brunch spot a couple doors down. But it's well worth a visit especially on warmer days if you're in the area.
