    Interior (July 2026)
    Winnie Y.

    Located inside Autistry Studios. The cafe area is appropriately colorful and offers a wide range of fun drinks and sweets including coffee and ice cream. Free stickers at the register. I grabbed a latte here which was decent. Overall, a cute place for a treat for kids or a casual date.

    They are currently renovating their usual space but this is open with limited flavors. My friends and I had the cherry chip and butter pecan flavors in cups. Establishment is clean, there are little shops nearby, cafes, and parking is somewhat easy to find. The interior has so many cool items either hanging in the air or on walls and you must check out the clock wall...just like the wall clocks that show times in different countries, this shows t current time at Hogwarts, Emerald City, Mordor, etc. and they are very friendly. I recommend this shop for sure

    Butter Pecan (top) and Mint Chocolate Ice Cream (bottom) flavor
    Anh T.

    On a summer weekday night located in a busier of area of San Rafael was filled with many young people. The cafe/ice cream shop connects to a next door market/art shop. There was a vintage/retro vibe, with red and white striped chairs and plaid-like tables. My friend and I shared a medium ice creams, with flavors butter pecan and mint chocolate chip. I wish they would've served a bit more for the scoops for the price we paid, but the ice cream was delicious nonetheless. The mint chocolate chip was tasty, and I wish that the butter pecan was slightly more rich. I would like to try their cappuccino chocolate ice cream flavor next time.

    No idea why Yelp has this awesome cafe and Ice Cream spot marked as closed! Very much open. Lots of indoor seating. Extremely friendly and helpful workers. No idea why people go to cold stone when double rainbow is here.

    We have drove by this place quite a few times and finally stopped in to try their ice cream. Right when you walk in it is so colorful and fun! There is a lot of art within the space that really gives it a unique feel. We looked at all the ice cream options and the service was great. Will definitely be stopping in again soon.

    This ice cream is to die for! Good: - Good prices on scoops and had a yelp discount - The strawberry and cookies and cream ice cream were the best I'd had in a very long time! Thoughrouly impressed and it was not too sweet and fluffy - Super fun and nice servers - let us have samples too Bad: - Long lines here! - Pretty casual diner ambiance here Overall would come back - the ice cream is super good and satisfied my cravings perfectly.

    Ice cream sandwich
    Cyndy And Randy R.

    We're visiting the area and wanted something sweet after dinner so came here after reading some reviews. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and helped right away. Very friendly employees. We got a couple tastes of flavors and made our choices. I got an ice cream cookie sandwich with strawberry ice cream. I was told the cookies were just made. For me, the ice cream was over the top sweet and didn't taste like strawberry. It was also super soft which meant one bite into the sandwich and it all came out. The chocolate chip cookie was ok - I gave Randy one of them and he loved it. I would have preferred a flat, thin cookie instead of a thicker, crispy cookie. Might have made eating the sandwich more doable. Maybe. Randy got a hot fudge sundae with ultra chocolate (his take: not very chocolatey) and coffee blast (doesn't taste like coffee at all). Cute shop and very friendly and helpful employees - and good cookie, per Randy - makes this three stars for us. LOVE all the rainbow gear and the support of the awesome lgbtq+ community but we won't go back.

    Ambiance: 4/5 Nice retro feel to the place. Love the hand written menus. The cafe hade colorful outdoor seating. Food: 4/5 Ice cream was yummy and a good portion, but melted fairly quickly. Very reasonable price. Service: 1.5/5 Were not that friendly. Overall rating would be 3.5. I would go back if I was in the area and craving a cool sweet treat. Would like to try their nondairy options!

    Affogato (yes, it was this amount when I got it.)

    I was super disappointed in my experience at Double Rainbow Cafe. The ice cream was ok, but super overpriced for 1/4 a cup of ice cream. The servers were also extremely rude, and it was pretty funny overhearing them trying to educate latinas about spices.

    Food: So frickinggg yummy and affordable (for me i think so. It was like $5). You can also ask for samples before buy. Services: the lady that serve me was so nice and sweet. I could try sm ice cream but i didn't cs it felt weird. Ambiance: so chill such a good place. btw u can fit like abt 3 diff ice cream in a small cup which i love cs u can try many flavors. Also right amount of ice cream!!

    A great ice cream parlor where you can choose any flavor they provide. They have great customer service and the atmosphere changes during day time to night time. The price is quite high to buy ice cream compared to buying from the supermarket but I'm sure the experience is worth it.

    Pretty sweet spot if you're trying to go to an ice cream shop that isn't generic or a chain!
