A true classic in San Rafael. I was introduced to this ice cream shop by my boyfriend and we've…read morebeen here several times since. Here I am finally writing a review. It's easy to find and it's located in a plaza so parking is easy. Service is always friendly and helpful. On this particular day I opted for a single scoop sundae (comes with whipped cream, hot fudge, almonds, sprinkles, & a maraschino cherry) which was the perfect amount for me. You can change any of their toppings if you'd like which I ended up doing. Their ice cream is delicious and I appreciate that it's not too sweet. There's some seating outdoors which is where we usually sit when the weather is nice out. Come on by and try this place out if you haven't!

I drove by a few months ago and noticed a line of people waiting so I took a mental note and…read moredecided to come back on a later date. The first time I visited I sampled the old fashioned vanilla, lavender with rose petals and apple strudel. I fell in love with the Apple Strudel and really hope it's available year-round and not seasonal. On my next visit I sampled the cookie batter and it's my second favorite flavor. The shop is small but there are a wide variety of ice cream to choose from. The staff is nice and made me feel welcomed. It's definitely worth the price.

Here's what you need to know about Fairfax Scoop:…read more 1) Street parking can be challenging, especially early evenings and weekends. Be prepared to hunt for a spot and walk. I suggest looking on Bank Street, Mono Ave and Elsie Lane to start with. Go slowly and watch for people and bicycles. 2) It's a tiny shop and there may be a line. It could be long. Remember, one human can only physically scoop so much ice cream in a minute. The process cannot be rushed. Patience will be rewarded... I promise. 3) Have cash. 4) Their waffle cones and cups are handmade, so the crunchiness or chewyness may vary. Some may be more crunchy or or chewy than others. For me, I thought the flavor of the cone was awesome! 5) Study the daily ice cream flavor list as you approach the counter. Smile, ask for a waffle cone or cup. They come in kid or regular size. Specify how many scoops you want per cone/cup. 6) Remember, scooping ice cream for hours at a time isn't easy... and Scoop is very, very popular for a reason. Service was good and efficient.

Horrible Service. I drove up from San Rafael because I was…read morecraving some BR ice cream. I walked in with a smile, because who doesn't smile when they are buying ice cream? I was greeted with a hello. Smiling I responded with a hello in return. Interested in purchasing quarts of ice cream to go, I focused on the refrigerator by the door. At the same time, the two workers walked behind the refrigerator area, and began talking to one another. There was No "how can I help you? "Or, "Let us know if have any questions. Have you tried our....?" When I was ready to pay for my ice cream, the employee walked to the register. No smile to me, I was still smiling. I made friendly customer eye contact. They stared blank at me. Not even a crack of a smile. And, no questions like, "can I get you anything else?" Just a dead cold- effort to not smile or give customer service look and a "do you want a bag?" Before the total appeared on the register. I trust that the ice cream will be tasty, because it has been for years upon years across America. However, I will not return to this store ever again. What horrible customer service! Owners, you are probably losing more sales than you realize because of the poor customer service. Good luck. The staff next door at Tagliaferris could probably help you with customer service lessons. Night and day comparison! Be Well.

Great neighborhood ice cream shop located in the San Marin Plaza. For those looking for non-dairy…read moreice cream this place is it. Currently there are 11 different choices for non-dairy in the front case and in the 2nd case are the regular dairy ice creams. Popular current flavors are Bubble Gum, Cotton Candy, White Pistachio, and my personal favorite...Sea Salt Caramel, which is their custard flavor. Bliss can make any ice cream of your choosing into milkshakes made with oat milk which are delicious in any flavor. Don't miss out on their Root Beer Floats, their in-house made gluten-free waffle cones, or their made to order ice cream sandwiches of your choosing made with vegan chocolate chip cookies they bake in-house as well. Recent addition of 3 cute arcade games for free play for your little ones with any purchase. Just ask the staff to turn them on after your purchase. Go get you a scoop or two and enjoy their music playlist in shop.

I'm upgrading my review to 2 stars. Super nice improvement on not having all the high school kids…read morecrowd the place up but I notice that they open pretty late in the afternoon now because when I come through the area (usually around 12:30pm) they are still closed which is a bummer to not get ice cream during my lunch break. I get it that we're in the winter cold months now, but I still like to eat ice cream when it's cold, doesn't matter. I have different issues with this place now though. Every time I go to Bliss now and want something they are usually out of it. Here's what I mean ... about 3 weeks ago I wanted a frozen banana which I've gotten before, they were out. I came back the next day because I still had a hankering for the frozen banana, they were still out. I went back the next week, they still haven't made any. I asked the girl working there and she told me they haven't had any frozen bananas in stock for a long while. Then why is it on the menu board?! And I see the label for it in the freezer display too. Geez, take it off the menu if you guys don't want to make any frozen bananas. WTH? Don't even ask for a banana split. Another time I came in wanting to buy a couple of their made-to-order ice cream sandwiches (because they are actually really good) to bring to my nieces. The same girl behind the counter who works during the day said they were out of cookies. I came back yesterday, still no cookies to make the ice cream sandwiches. Like seriously?! Do we need to take these off the menu board too? I came in last week wanting the Dole pineapple soft serve they sell. It was so good over the summer and pineapple sounded so good at that time. What do you mean there isn't any? I even asked about that yesterday as well. When will they have it back in the machine? The girl behind the counter said she didn't know when. Again, take it off the menu guys. Yeah, I'm disappointed they don't keep everything on their menu in stock. Why even bother keeping these items on their menu board? Oh, and yesterday I opted for the berry sorbet. The poor girl couldn't crack the dang thing. It was frozen SOLID. They need to retire that flavor then or just throw it out. You need a jack hammer to break that thing apart. I walked away not getting anything. No frozen bananas, no soft serve of any kind, no cookies to make ice cream sandwiches. And no, I don't want to pay $25 for an ice cream pie. Here's a kicker ... there's a plaque hanging in the front window that suggests they sell hot cocoa or mochas, but it's NOT on their menu board at all. LOL!!! I had to ask how much it was because I was curious. If you come here just expect straight up ice cream that's displayed in their freezer because that's all they sell. And why are there so many non-dairy flavors? A bit weird, but I guess that might be a plus? Maybe the next thing I'll crave will be a milkshake and they won't have the milk to make it with. Don't even bother looking at the menu board. They don't have it. I might just have to go back to La Michoacana on Grant. They have everything on their menu. Always.

I love a walk through Celine's when I'm in the mood for something sweet. Lots of candy choices, ice…read morecream and even gifts! There is an area in back with a large TV running movies, with all the traditional theatre snacks on display. While I enjoy browsing the huge selection of sweets, my favorite is the Jelly Belly station. You can buy different jelly bean variety blends or individual flavors. Some are prepackaged, but you can also buy by weight. I love this option as it allows me to buy whatever amount I need of the flavor I'm most craving in that moment. I love this! Seriously, you'll find whatever you're in the mood for. Worth a visit for sure.

Well, it was hot yesterday I was in the mood for some ice cream. I'm sure like many people and I…read moreremembered Celine's sweets has ice cream. I called to confirm what flavors they had. I've learned the hard way. It's better to call to make sure they're not out of stock or something that you really want. Krystal is the person who answered the phone. She was really friendly and really nice. Very helpful with information and I said I'll see you in a little bit to get some ice cream. I went down there and they had a excellent variety of flavors. I tasted several flavors and landed on strawberry. I was in the mood for it. OK that was my second choice actually I'm gonna be honest there was a mint chocolate chip that they just ran out of, but they had enough to give me a little taste sample and OMG when they get more in stock, I'm gonna go get some. It's rare when they run out of stock completely but it happens that's life I saw how Khystal was with several customers and dad went in there with his three-year-old daughter and I was like yeah you know please go ahead and help them. I'm not in a rush so she was kind of juggling and then there was too like 12 or 13 years old, but she was helping these customers while helping me and that's OK so I settled on strawberry and it tasted really great. I thanked her for being so nice on the phone and in person and so helpful. Cine suites is lucky to have her as are we the customer base I told her I was gonna update my five star review from like 10 years ago so here I am doing it. The prices are great and you can get a free cake or sugar cone then with sugar since I hadn't had one of those in quite a while. They got a variety of other great candies as well. Do yourself a favor go get some ice cream or the raspberry sorbet which is seriously money anyways thanks Crystal for being so awesome... at this point, I'm using voice text so if they're grammatical errors, this is the reason why I hope ownership gives Crystal a raise and acknowledges her efforts to represent the business because she is the opposite of a minimal effort to check collecting Employee Thank you for reading

My favorite is mamey!! If you've never tried it, do it. It's a tropical fruit flavor that's just the right balance of sweet and creamy. Absolute yummmmm. When it's hot out, their sorbets are especially refreshing. The guanábana is another standout and so good on a warm day. Service is always kind and welcoming. Parking can be a little tricky since it's downtown, but you can usually find a spot. Sometimes it's quick, other times it just takes a short loop around the block. They also have all the chamoy and tajín toppings if you're craving something sweet, tangy, and savory. Such a fun spot and totally worth the stop.
