Different flavors than most ice cream shops, but that makes it interesting. Hours and staffing here is hit-or-miss. I'm not sure if they are scarcely staffed or have a high turnover, but the location isn't always open. I don't see too many patrons here, which can be a good or bad thing. Good because you have the place to yourself, bad because- either the flavors or pricing could be undesirable. In any case, I'm pretty classic. They can help you satisfy a craving when in the area. Try them out. Quiet spot with lots of seating and navy tiled walls. read more

My boyfriend got a strawberries and cream in a waffle bowl and I got an affogato with secret breakfast cereal. The strawberries and cream was AMAZING. I'm not a big strawberry ice cream girl, but had MULTIPLE bites. We saw them make the waffle bowl in front of us and I've never had a waffle bowl before, so this could be a "me" thing, but it wasn't as crispy as I was expecting it to be. But my boyfriend seemed to like it. My affogato was more of a coffee with a scoop of melted ice cream. They brewed TWO *DOUBLE SHOTS* and poured them in a 16 ounce cup w 1 scoop of ice cream. If you get an affogato, ask for it deconstructed so you can control the amount of espresso/coffee. read more

Go with the pints, seriously! A single scoop is around $7, but a pint is about $12, and if you grab two, you get the third one free. That's an easy choice. I'm fully prepared to be that person at the store, scooping straight out of the container instead of bothering with a cup or cone I tried Pink Jesus, Matcha Snickerdoodle, Vietnamese Coffee, and Honey Graham Cracker. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Pink Jesus, but it ended up being a pleasant surprise. It's a blend of lavender and raspberry, with the lavender coming through more strongly, floral but not overwhelming. The Matcha Snickerdoodle and Vietnamese Coffee were both bold and very true to their flavors. You can immediately tell what you're eating, which I loved. The Honey Graham Cracker, though, was a bit too sweet for my taste. read more

First time trying Humphry Slocombe and left a little disappointed. My husband and I shared their SF Fog and Cookies and Milk in a waffle cone. The ice cream was sooo sweet! I know ice cream is a dessert, but I'm not a fan when the sweetness lingers in and overwhelms my tastebuds. The waffle cone was alright, although the ice cream was constantly seeping out of the small holes. The service here was a bit cold. The staff didn't seem to want to be there, but wasn't rude. This location is fantastic though! There's ample seating inside and it's spacious. I've seen other flavors online but the ones in the store that day didn't interest me too much. I'd love to try their matcha cookies and cream one day. read more

Made it to Humphry Slocombe in Emeryville after dinner and it was worth the stop. I tried the Vietnamese Coffee ice cream, which was a unique flavor and a surprisingly great pick. I'm looking forward to trying it again. The staff were welcoming and the space was inviting. read more

Always have a good experience at Humphry's! Hong Kong Milk tea, Black Fog, Honey graham on a waffle are some favorites. Cute artsy interior with some tables. Dude who worked there was super nice and gave me a few extra stamps on my card! read more

Ordered a single scoop of the Matcha flavored ice cream which hit the spot. I'm not usually one to stop and grab a scoop here as it is pricey at almost $7 for a single but wanted to enjoy the end of our outing and watch the last minutes of the FIFA match between Columbia and Ghana. Service was great as I had to ask for 4 sample flavors before choosing the Matcha! read more

Incredible stuff! Pulled out a new carton for my cousin with a nut allergy to avoid contamination and it was so kind !

Don't get the caramel pretzel flavor. The pretzels were extremely stale! For $7 a scoop that is pretty crazy. This place is pretentiously expensive for super mediocre ice cream quality. read more

I haven't had Humphry Slocombe in years so I was excited to see a location when we were in Emeryville. They're located upstairs near Barnes and Noble by the other eateries. I loved all their unique flavors! Secret Breakfast is a must, you can't get that flavor anywhere else. I do wish they would include the flavor descriptions on the names because some of the names aren't super descriptive to the flavor itself. I also tried Matcha Strawberry but it was actually disappointing. Pretty color but the matcha flavor was non existent. Otherwise it's a nice specialty ice cream shop to try some unique flavors (I should've tried the honeydew!). read more

The go to item here to try is the black sesame ice cream. It's absolutely delicious. Very rich and you could taste the sesame flavoring. Not too sweet. The service here is excellent and they are always very knowledgeable about the various offerings. This place sits on the second level at the Bay Street mall, and it's perfect for a summer afternoon refreshment. read more

Yummy for my tummy, my daughter and I screamed for ice cream! Despite the chilly breeze, we stopped by to satisfy our sweet tooth ice cream cravings! Friendly and patient staff. I felt bad that there was only person working the counter, taking orders, making the orders and managing the register. He did a great job bouncing around tasks, even changing gloves after every transaction! The eating area was well kept and not sticky. They had limited flavors (we came late in the afternoon), but enough to please most. read more

It was my first time at Humphry, and it was an experience. I love good ice cream and unique flavors. Humphry reminds me of salt and straw. They have some fun flavors and taste great.

After dinner, I enjoyed a much-needed treat: SF Fog sundae. After trying a few flavors, I was set on the SF Fog, because the black sesame ice cream is unmatched! It was somewhat sweet, nutty, earthy, and smoky all at once. These flavors were topped with a smooth marshmallow cream and bourbon caramel. Everything came together to create an epic dessert! Our cashier was warm, patient, and friendly. I'll definitely make sure to stop in during my next visit to Oakland. read more

It's been a few weeks and I'm still thinking about that scoop of Vietnamese ice cream coffee.. I really dnt like coffee ice cream but I love anything about Vietnamese ice coffee.. I didn't have high expectations for it at all.. I sampled two other flavors and made this bay last choice and it was more than I could have ever imagined.. the service was an amazing .. they who helped us was fast friendly efficient and had a lot of patience for our group.. the end of the night rush he did a great job of getn everyone in and out..my sister got a ice cream out the freezer so she was able to skip the line which is a good option and made the line move faster.. the smell of freshly made cones filled the store.. there was a lot of seating in the store but since this location is on bay st u have the option of sitting outside.. I'm ready for my next visit I wanna try the Vietnamese ice coffee with some of the burbon caramel.. and figure out whose birthday we can get an ice cream cake for.. definitely add this place to my list if go to ice cream shop.. read more

I came in and sampled a bunch of flavors, as the employee who helped me was patient and friendly Yellow brick road - golden milk ice cream with sunflower granola. It's interesting since the turmeric of golden milk is definitely more an acquired taste but I find it more tolerable as an ice cream. Malted milk chocolate - tastes like malt balls, not particularly unique but it's one of the tamer flavors. Allura - coconut lime and passionfruit, I thought it was alright, more tropical. It's a collab with a cruise line. Pepper mint chip - I didn't like it, but it's not too spicy. I would've liked it better with black pepper instead and more chocolate. It's the goat (not sure if I got the name right) - the habanero part made it a little spicy. I thought it was okay. I decided to get a single scoop of the yellow brick road in a cup. I thought the flavors were strange on the whole. I keep wanting to like Humphry Slocombe but I still prefer other ice cream shops in the east bay like Miharu, Cookiebar, and I-Scream on Solano. read more

A local Bay Area ice cream spot with many locations around the bay. Looking for some dessert or ice cream while around Bay Street in Emeryville, this is the spot. Open fairly late with both indoor and outdoor seating. There popular flavors are their Vietnamese coffee and cereal type of flavor. They have unique flavors and lots of options. I like to get mine sometimes on a cone or to share with a cup. There's parking garage parking in the area. Service was great, the worker was very patient with our group as we sampled many flavors. We went with like a mint one and I forgot the other and got 2 scoops and shared it. read more

My first time trying Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream at the Bay Street location! I have been going to the Spark SF location for awhile since I'm in the city for Warriors. Location is on the 2nd floor, close to other restaurants, Bay street's food court level- there's stairs in the center but can take the escalator to the left side if you are walking past Tokyo Central as you exit the parking garage on the first level. I also love coffee flavors and this one was it! Loved it, subtle, not over powering, Vietnamese Coffee is really strong but Humphry did it right. You can have the option for Waffle cone that I got, sugar cone or cup, Also check out the seasonal items! I will be back! read more

So yummy! I got the black sesame and it was so nutty and rich. The flavors that they offer are really unique and bold, which I actually prefer compared to a basic chocolate or vanilla (no shade lol). Next time, I think I'll try the Vietnamese Coffee! We also took a tub of the Matcha snickerdoodle ice cream and it was delicious (perfect for those with a sweet tooth)! read more

After an intense shopping session, this was the perfect way to cool down. A consistent ice cream chain with unique flavors that will raise some eyebrows (for better or worse). The staff was super kind and helpful at explaining the different flavors. Sometimes the names aren't clear on what's actually inside (black out = Oreo and fudge, delicious by the way). It was oddly warmer inside so we opted for the outdoor patio shared by the other restaurants. Red velvet was also a hit with hints of buttercream frosting. Got a nice view of the sunset and a sweet treat to wrap the day up. A bit pricey, but worth it if there's a flavor that speaks to you or you're willing to try. read more

Apparently 25 mins before closing is too late to order anything but scoops... Came in at 9:35p on a Friday in August and no greeting, just a declaration that they were almost closed and that they were only serving scoops. Friendly service must be a thing of the past now... read more

Super yummy! I had the s'mores in a waffle cone and it was so delicious. I also ordered the white chocolate cookie which I forgot on my chair so I hope someone enjoyed it. The service was pretty quick and friendly. We beat the rush and it did not disappoint! Wish I lived closer so I could come more often. read more

What a unique little ice cream place. The flavors are so fun and definitely something you're not going to find everywhere - I tried the breakfast flavor with the bourbon caramel and it was delicious. The caramel was definitely on the strong side with a strong whiskey flavor. Additionally, it did feel on the pricer side for a scoop of ice cream - however, it was delicious and a nice occasional treat. read more

Yuck ... ice cream was not delicious -at all -and none of flavors listed on the window -that we wanted to try- were available. Just about 10 flavors of sub par ice cream were available - like how does this place even stay open -especially when Ben & Jerrys pints are on sale at Safeway?? The guy scooping the ice cream was chill but nothing special - no smile or anything - like he was overworked - and he was working alone. We left him a tip regardless as he was solo and that made him change his monotone tune. But regardless - the ice cream was gross. Nobody in our group even raved about one flavor- there were 7 of us. I won't be going back. read more

Empty Humphrey slocombe on a rainy day. I saw the sign outside and thought they had Hong Kong Milk Tea. They don't for scoops, only for pints. Service was good. I was able to sample their blood orange ice cream and disliked it LOL. So I got the Vietnamese coffee which is a safe bet. read more

Didn't re-open at 5 PM as mentioned on door. Staff was on her phone. Re-opened at 5:08 PM. The person in front of us was able to get a sample taste of ice cream but when i asked for a sample the server said she is not giving samples. The service can be improved. Should have taken down the chairs for people to sit. Be more consistent with giving samples. read more

Despite the sign on the door saying they open at 2pm - they were open at 1:15 today. I feel like they would benefit from an "open" sign.

The guy working was nice - and the place has that ice cream shop smell (it's good) I enjoyed my scoop and would go back and enjoy it again. read more

I've been in twice. The first time, service wasn't great but the ice cream was good. The dairy-free flavors are surprisingly good! The second time, the ice cream was flaky and icy, and not very creamy at all. The cocoa nib flavor as a whole wasn't great, but it was the texture that really ruined it for me. I don't go out to ice cream often, so I probably won't spend that outing here next time. read more

I really wanted to love this place. Upon walking in the atmosphere is so modern and nice. They didnt have a lot of choices but I was able to try samples. I also was able to try the cone. The customer service was great and the guy was so patient. I opted for the cinnamon roll ice cream which I could tell wouldve been amazing but the ice cream was icy as if it was like freezer burned. I really feel like this place has potential and maybe I caught them on the wrong day. Everyone I was with agreed. The cone was light and fresh. Id be down to give them another shot. read more

I love me a good ice cream and this place makes a pretty good vegan cookies and cream version. I've had my share of both vegan and non-vegan ice cream so I know the difference between a quality batch of ice cream. Here's my baseline, if you can make a good vegan ice cream batch then non-vegan bamust be a home run! Cookies and cream flavor: 4/5. Pulling off vegan flavor that is tasty and satisfying to the palate shows and there was a lot of different versions to get it right and they got it right. Not too sweet but enough sweetness to get your sugar fix. Texture: 2/5. The combination of excellent flavor and texture is what I believe can make you stand out from other vegan ice cream vendors. The texture did not hold together. There were clusters of my scoop that held together, so there is s room for improvement in this department. There is a private covered parking lot so this is not an issue. Service: 5/5. I went on Monday around 6:45 pm and I was the only patron. This is a new shopping area and there is an abundance of outdoor seating and some indoor seating. There were the standard flavors but I wanted to see how they pulled off a batch of vegan ice cream. If you were blindfolded and had a spoonful of this cookie and cream ice cream you could not tell the difference between vegan and regular ice cream. If you are a seasoned chef you would be able to tell because of the texture but if it's a hot summer day I recommended a his place. Would I come back, absolutely! read more

The Bay Street restaurants have always seemed a bad fit for the shipping district, so I was thrilled to hear of an overall in the works. Humphrey Slocombe is part of the new offerings, complete with outdoor dining on the public thoroughfare side (complete with gas fireplace and lounging areas available to all). The whole thing is cozy and inviting as it was repellent before. The unusual flavors carry the day. This is a place to make new, cherished memories. Secret Breakfast is unabashed win. No hints given. Brown Butter was surprisingly complex; I legit returning to it. Serengeti Sunset (a collaboration with The Lion King Musical) was confusing, and I've been to South Africa. Not bad, mind you, just confusing. There are so many enticing flavors that Humphrey Slocombe will be a regular part of our shopping trips. read more
