    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.

But the quality of the food is amazing. & some people may not enjoy the notes, but this made me really happy to see the note on the bag. It was a great touch. The staff were so friendly too.

They're always busy and I can't wait to return to try their coffee!

I parked in the first open driveway, the same block as Oddcha, immediately after passing the store. Oddcha is located inside the archway gate of French Quarter on the left. A walk up window, with staff perched high closed behind, is where you retrieve your order. You can order in person from a screen or on their mobile site for pick up - I did the app. The ready by time was minimal and my order was ready when I arrived. I ordered the Twilight Taro ($7) with oat milk ($.80) and double boba ($1.50). The drink is a non caffeinated combination of taro and purple yams with fresh milk. When received, it did not resemble the picture from the menu. The drink was creamy, slightly thick, taro/purple yam forward, very flavorful and perfect with the less sweet option. I prefer no ice, I was only allowed a less ice option. The ice level seemed regular, consuming 3/4 of the cup space. They honored the double boba as each sip had ample boba to enjoy. With no one at the walk up window when I arrived, the staff was not proactive checking in on me. I had to knock on the window to have someone eventually acknowledge me. Not great considering two employees watched as I walked up and stopped in front of the window looking back at them. Besides that, it was an easy, flavorful experience. Not sure if I'd return, mainly due to parking. I am glad I checked out Oddcha, I was not disappointed in the drink chosen.

There may be parking behind the shop, but the one way streets and amount of cars made me play it safe. You order at a kiosk that makes you stoop over. The menu is definitely more geared towards Marin demographics than your average boba shop, though they do have the staple milk teas and matchas. I ordered a Thai Twister with less sugar and ice, fully expecting it was a Thai tea slush (which is actually a unique drink). Why wouldn't it be when there's cheese cream along the cup edges like the oddcha Matcha, and that they offer a basic Thai tea for the exact same price? Thoroughly disappointed when it was just a Thai MT with some cream cheese spread. I asked an employee to make sure, and they confirmed it was just a thai tea with cheese lol. The thai tea is objectively good, but then again it's REALLY hard to mess up thai tea. Perhaps their other drinks are more of a hit, but it's pretty hard to justify coming here as a non-local who lives across the bridge.

I was first introduced to Palmetto at a Yelp event and, since then, have become a repeat customer at numerous locations. Their Corte Madera location is lovely! The shop itself is on the smaller side, with one bench to sit at inside, but that's all good since it's more of a takeout business. It's bright inside, and the atmosphere is welcoming. You order at the counter, watch them make your creation, and pick it up when it's done! They also offer mobile ordering. Service is always fantastic from everyone I've encountered! Since I work in Marin and got my coworker hooked, we sometimes stop by for açaí before or after work. There are so many options for either signature or build-your-own bowls! I've been trying each signature bowl. This go around, I tried their Bom Dia A.M Breakfast Bowl in a size small. This was so delicious! I loved the fresh fruit, the texture of all the toppings, how rich and creamy it was, and the sweet yet refreshing taste. The smalls are always so filling for me, so I struggle to finish. Definitely keep that in mind! If I go any larger, I'm usually sharing with someone! I'd definitely order this again, but I have also loved everything I've tried. So happy that Palmetto is continuing to branch out and is successful in Marin. Glad to continue supporting them, especially since they're on my commute route! Find them on the Town Center side near Pacific Catch and across Five Little Monkeys. Free parking all around!
