WOWWWW!! Can't believe I grew up in this area but have never been here. I don't think there are…read morethat many Italian Ice businesses in the Bay Area but don't quote me on that. We decided to stop by for dessert on a Saturday evening and were surprised that it wasn't busy. The inside reminded me of a mom and pop shop where it's been in business for years. There's nothing glamorous about it but that's where they serve the best stuff, right? I was planning to just order a couple of flavors of their Italian Ice, but we saw that they had something on their menu called 2nd Street. It's basically Italian Ice & custard (soft serve of Vanilla, chocolate, or mixed) not blended. I picked sour watermelon, strawberry, mango, and passionfruit for the Italian Ice and vanilla custard. I liked how they layer the custard in-between the Italian Ice. He also filled it past the brim!! We were given a stamp card and already got a few stamps for our treat. You bet I'm coming back again in the future! I love that everything is made in house. They even have ice cream!

Summary: Solid Italian ice…read more Details: So, I don't have a lot of reference points on this one, only having tried Italian ice and frozen custard a few times before. Baselines and comparisons aside, we found their custard to be too sweet (so likely fine for the majority of folks), but their Italian ice (at least the lemon flavor), with both having pretty nice textures to them. The venue itself has a kind of old school local ice cream shop vibe, and seemed more like a grab and go kind of spot, though there are a couple of benches outside if you want to sit and chill for a bit. Accessibility: Spacious enough shop with your typical ice cream display cases. Slight incline to get in, if I remember correctly.

Well, I like frozen yogurt. So when I saw Loving Cup listed on Doordash as a new cloud kitchen at…read moreJingletown Eats, I had to try a few flavors. Jingletown Eats is cloud kitchen food facility in East Oakland. Everything is delivery or pickup. So, I ordered - Dirty Hipster, All Good, Lone Wolf, Power Cup, and Thin Mint. In general, all the chocolate flavors were delicious! If I only ordered those, you would have a 5-star rating. But sadly, the "All Good" wasn't right. My yogurt has a neutral taste. Neither vanilla or strawberry. Maybe a very mild strawberry taste. I think someone forgot to put the strawberries in the mixer. You have a great product, and I will order the chocolate flavors again.

I popped in last night on my way to dinner so I could think about what pint/s I wanted to pick up…read morefor home. Grateful that this vegan ice cream shop has so many flavors to choose from. Friendly, helpful service. The person ahead of me ordered a double scoop and it looked so good I wanted my own, but knew I had to wait until later. Anyway, the scoops were quite large and the customer looked quite happy. I tried the two limited edition flavors. Ube and a Sri-nidadian Coco Cocoa, an upgraded version of a similar flavor they have had before. Well, the new and improved version of the Coco (coconut) Cocoa is DELICIOUS! Luckily on my return after dinner there was enough to make a pint! Whew! The shop is small so no dining inside, but there's some seating outside. I planned ahead and had my cooler and ice pack ready to take my pint home!

I've been hooked on Mr. Dewie's Cashew Creamery ever since visiting another location, and the…read moreBanana Nut and Caramel Almond Crunch have been my absolute go tos ever since; both are incredibly flavorful, ultra creamy, and filled with tiny pieces of nuts that give the perfect little crunch. I just visited their Oakland location, which is a cute, clean, and cozy spot right on the corner. It is an absolute paradise because everything here is 100% vegan, from the ice cream to the baked goods, so you can order entirely stress free. We were helped super fast by a really nice worker who let my friend and I try a couple of samples. I ended up getting the Caramel Almond Crunch paired with a brownie to make a custom brownie à la mode, and it was absolutely divine. The brownie wasn't overly sweet, which I loved, and it paired beautifully with the smoky sweetness and nuttiness of the ice cream. Every single bite was bursting with flavor. I also tried the Lemon Crème for the first time off my friend's order, and it completely blew me away. I'm usually not a fan of lemon ice cream, but this one takes the cake; the lemon isn't overpowering at all, but rather perfectly infused with a vanilla flavor. It tastes exactly like a balanced mix of vanilla and lemon ice cream, giving major lemon shortcake vibes. If you want a clean, indulgent, and incredibly delicious plant based treat, this place is it.

This is really good ice cream, and you should try it!…read more I saw this Yelp listing, and I got interested in trying this ice cream made in my hometown of Alameda. I went to the Island Savoy Market, and they only had "Chocolate Dipped Strawberries." Now, to be honest, I wasn't really impressed with this flavor. It's creamy, but the strawberry flavor was somewhat mild. It just doesn't grab your attention. So I decided I wanted to try the flavors the other Yelpers were raving about. Now, where else do they sell this ice cream? I went on their website and did some research. Guess what? "Get The Skoop Premium Ice Cream" is operating a ghost kitchen at the Oakland Food Hall in East Oakland. As of May 2023, it's listed on DoorDash and GrubHub. Well, that's a good way to widen your distribution area. They do charge a little more $$$. But after trying "Key Lime Pie" and "Strawberry Lemonade," it's worth it. Their Key Lime Pie ice cream tastes like a creamy and refreshing Key Lime Pie. The Strawberry Lemonade is a refreshing blend of flavors. Trying these two flavors makes me want to try the rest. A Yelp review is a consumer experience, and my experience is that this is really good ice cream that's worth a try. Support Local Business!

Okay so first off let me just start by saying this is the best ice cream I have ever tasted because…read morethe quality is just amazing! Pros: The Flavor Variety: My husband and I have tried so many of the delicious flavors like Peach Kobbler, Vanilla ( my personal favorite) , Key Lime Pie, Banana Pudding ( my 2nd favorite), Red Velvet and Kookies and Kream and too many more to name. Quality: the creaminess of this Ice cream is my absolute favorite part. They don't put in any of the preservatives like big name ice cream brands so the ice cream even when frozen is always ready to serve and eat! When I can pull my ice cream out the freezer and dig in right away I call that a win! Friendliness: The Owners are so sweet! Before they got into Berkeley bowl they were doing pop ups around the Bay Area and meeting alot of their customers! I really appreciate how down to earth and cool they are! Cons: My only Con is that it's not sold in more stores! I have to drive over to Berkeley bowl in order to get it but honestly it's worth the drive! I will say this if your looking for an ice cream in all your favorite dessert flavors this is the ice cream to try!! I recommend you give this ice cream a try and once you do I will warn you... YOUR GONNA BE HOOKED!
