    Berried In Mango
    Chinmay S.

    Stopped by at Icicles to get an ice cream for my kid a few weeks ago. The only reason I am giving 3 stars is because of the fantastic service by the guy who made the ice cream. He worked on it so meticulously and was so friendly throughout. The ice cream itself - not a big fan. We had the 'Berried in Mango' seasonal flavor and we didn't even get a hint of mango. Guess the mango was probably a little too 'buried' in all those berries LOL. It was overly sweet and tasted artificial. But of course, my kid loved it.

    funny enough i was contemplating the rise and fall of the rolled ice cream trend earlier today. got dinner with a friend and he wanted ice cream after so we came here. it's exactly what you'd expect. toppings seem to be unlimited. we should not have been trusted with this much power, we created an abomination. liked the mochi though. we ordered on an ipad, there was only one staff member diligently making ice creams - he was nice! there's maybe 3 tables to sit at inside.

    went here last Sunday to have an ice cream! This was the closest ice cream which was walking distance from where we stayed! The one we usually go to ran out of base so we walked down to mission st! I ended up getting wake me up which was hazelnut coffee with pretzels and I forgot what else I got because they didn't have waffle pieces We went to have a seats inside their shop and finished our ice cream there Best alternative to the place we usually go to on Sutter call Ma but it would've been nice even though the sign said no indoor dining that the floor was tidied up at the least

    Me and my girlfriend were out walking around downtown last night. Decided we wanted something sweet so I recommended icicles and ordered the strawberry fantasy It was really good and flavorful and finished.

    Rolled ice cream is amazing. I absolutely love the ice cream from here. The people who work here always do a good job. The only downside is the actual location isn't nice and sitting and eating your ice cream there isn't ideal due to the loud sounds of them preparing the other people's ice cream orders and the street noises. There's a park nearby though.

    I always get ice cream from here since Icicles is one of my favorite ice cream shops... but compared to the San Mateo location, this store is always very slow even if it's not a busy time. We waited for our order, then they missed one of our orders, then by the time we called the order up, they said they missed it and they even ran out of the topping I wanted for my ice cream. Some customers are just waiting in line, and the workers are just nowhere to be found...

    Icicles is one of my favorite dessert places in the Bay Area. I love the unique way they create ice cream and roll them up kind of like sushi. The ice cream has a smooth creamy texture. I especially love the selection of toppings that's available that can add your own flavor to this amazing treat. Be sure to visit when you get a chance.

    It's pricey but it's the rolled ice cream experience you're paying for really. It's fun to watch them make the ice cream and roll it in front of you. $11 for a bowl is a lot but you do get whatever toppings. I got the berried in mango sorbet with strawberries, mochi, blueberries, popping boba, and lychee jelly. I thought it was really good and there was chunks of raspberries in the sorbet that I really liked. You can get as many toppings as you want which I liked because it made the whole thing better bc each bite is different and fun. There's no indoor dining and it's gets busy just because they have to make each ice cream right after you order.

    I was excited to try these delicious Ice Cream rolls. So, I had this unique fun experience in my last time in San Francisco. I tried three different kinds of them! Strawberry Fantasy is one of my favorite, it tastes fantastic. I love Nutella, so Nutella & Chill is blended with bananas, graham crackers and Nutella.This one is wonderful. My last was Gotcha Matcha, we can taste the delicious flavor of Matcha green tea. I also tried their craft tea, so delicious. I highly recommend this spot :)

I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

Kaya Pandan Toast is my second favorite. I'm a fan of the bread and how the ice cream mixes with it. Mango Tango is pretty good. Good mango flavor, a good mango bingsoo. The Black Thai tea crepe has a really good tea flavor. The Thai Tea flavor comes out really well. The Japanese Crepe with condensed milk and Oreo was alright. Definitely a lot more interesting and better desserts. They were sold out of the Hokkaido crepe cake another time. 6:45 PM on a Sunday. Never had that happen before. Got the Thai crepe cake instead, which was the only cake not sold out. I like the Hokkaido more. Overall, the dessert is not too sweet! Service is solid. Nothing too crazy or attentive, just average.

The treats were tasty, but on the pricier side. I believe the pricing reflects the quality of the chocolate used in the products, so to me, the pricing is justified. The outer shell of the canelé had a nice crunch, but the inside actually reminded me of a chocolate brownie, and was less custardy than your typical canelé. Despite not being super traditional, I still really enjoyed the treat. With the chocolate chip cookie, I loved the giant chunks of semi-sweet dark chocolate embedded within it. I appreciate that the cookie itself wasn't overly sweet. With most cookies, I usually can only tolerate having a few bites, or need to have a coffee in hand to enjoy it, but I didn't feel like that was the case here: both treats were delicious. Overall, I would definitely stop by Dandelion Chocolate again if I'm looking for a well-crafted, sweet treat.

Thankfully the line moved fairly fast, and when I got close to the front, I saw that they allow three samples per person to keep customers moving. The store is larger than it looks with some seating along the sides and back. I opted a small cup of the lychee black tea and auntie Kendra's garden. The lychee black tea was INCREDIBLE, strong, strong tea and fruit flavor, perfectly creamy, and not too sweet. The more memorable of the two, however, was definitely Auntie Kendra. It was a vanilla base with salty plum juice, passion fruit, and preserved lemon peel. The delicate vanilla, the lemon aroma without the sour tang, the floral, exotic passion fruit, and the unexpected punch of salt and earthiness from the plum juice, this is a WHOPPER of a flavor. Every bite allowed me a new appreciation of the layers of flavors in this scoop. While a bit pricy, Garden creamery is on par with the other local ice cream spots in SF and well, the flavors and my enjoyment of them speak for themselves. I will definitely be making more trips out here to try their other flavors!

I've had their matcha cream and ube matcha lattes too which are very good. The matcha tastes very nice and the drink itself is smoothe. It's a solid matcha spot. I like that you have the option to order in person, in store kiosk, online, and by their app. Service is very clean cut of just ordering and getting your drinks. I would warn that I'm not sure how good their problem solving service is as many of the employees are young. I'm just thankful that I haven't had an issue with my order despite going very often.

    Kiss of Matcha is a dessert café centered around matcha-based drinks and Japanese-inspired sweets…read more We walked into a cozy, compact space with a focus on matcha flavors, offering everything from soft serve and parfaits to lattes, hojicha drinks, and small desserts. The concept works well for anyone looking for a place that treats matcha as the main ingredient rather than just adding it as a trendy flavor, and the energy of the shop stays calm and inviting, making it a good spot for a focused dessert stop. The biggest highlight is the matcha soft serve, which has a stronger tea flavor compared to many sweeter matcha desserts. We ordered a cup and found the flavor leaning slightly earthy and bitter, giving it a more authentic matcha profile while still staying creamy and approachable. The Kiss of Matcha Parfait is another standout, combining different textures with matcha, toppings, and dessert elements that make it feel more complete than a simple scoop. The layers of the parfait were well composed, with the matcha soft serve, mochi, and crunchy elements coming together in a way that kept each bite interesting. The hojicha options are also worth trying if you prefer a roasted tea flavor that is smoother and less intense, and the hojicha soft serve offered a warm, toasted note that contrasted nicely with the brighter matcha. The menu has a nice mix of drinks and desserts, with items like croffles, mochi, and dango adding more variety beyond the usual matcha latte. The croffle is a good pairing with the drinks since the crisp texture works well with the richer flavors, and we found it held up well against the cream and toppings. There are also non-matcha options like vanilla soft serve, which makes it easier to visit with a group where everyone has different preferences, and the variety across the menu gives you room to explore beyond the matcha offerings. The space is smaller, so it feels more like a quick dessert stop rather than a place to spend hours. Seating is limited, but the cozy decoration and outdoor seating options make it a comfortable spot to enjoy your order when space is available. The indoor area is thoughtfully arranged, and the outdoor seating adds a nice option for warmer days. Service can vary depending on how busy it gets, but the overall experience is centered more around the quality of the desserts, and the staff are friendly and efficient when handling the flow of orders. Kiss of Matcha is a strong choice for matcha lovers looking for desserts with a deeper tea flavor. The combination of quality matcha, creative dessert options, and a cozy atmosphere makes it a spot worth returning to, especially if you enjoy trying different matcha creations. The balance of authentic flavors, thoughtful presentation, and a relaxed environment makes it a destination for a more intentional matcha experience.

    A very accurately named store! Can't go wrong with shaved ice for dessert, no matter the weather…read more They have so many flavor options that literally cover an entire wall, with a plethora of toppings too! All of their flavors sounded good, and I wish I could sample all of them. I ended up going with the Valencia in a regular size so I could avoid decision anxiety; this was a preset bowl of horchata shaved ice with different toppings that was exactly what I was craving. My friend got the other preset option, Cereal Killer, which tasted just like fruity pebbles ice cream as promised. It looks like a lot when first presented to you (like so high and so fluffy), but as you eat it, the toppings start making the ice sink lol. A more manageable portion size after that :) Their shop is small with not much waiting room besides a bench against the window, and I think most people go to their outside tables to eat their shaved ice. Not super ideal for cold windy evenings like when we went, and we huddled in my car to finish them. Definitely mind any shaved ice that might topple over the edge when you first dive in since they pack it real tight. Worth your moola! I will absolutely come back to try other flavors and still order a regular just for myself :)
