    Great spot for indian-inspired ice cream in the east bay. We got the flight to try 5 different flavors and a doggy cup. Everything was excellent- the original kulfi flavor was definitely the standout and tasted just like a Matka kulfi you might get on the streets of India. I'm glad they're constantly experimenting with new combinations - can't wait to come back and try more!

    We visited Koolfi Creamery for the first time recently and it was a great experience. I was thoroughly impressed by the unique ice cream flavors and thought the dessert options were creative. They do limit you to 2 samples, but I suppose that is another excuse to come back and try out new ice cream flavors. I ended up getting a mango flavored ice cream and it had a vibrant, fruity flavor and was quite refreshing. Customer service was friendly and adequate, although the shop seemed understaffed. I wish they had more seating indoors and outdoors, but they have a few tables and benches. The decor is bright and welcoming and appears to match the shop's overall vibe. We enjoyed the ice cream treats quite a bit and opted to purchase 2 more pints of other flavors to bring back home. I'd definitely recommend checking out Koolfi Creamery and I'm looking forward to visiting the SF location someday too.

    Koolfi creamery offers an array of unique ice cream flavors with an Indian twist! They also offer an array of different items like other desserts and coffee. Came here after visiting Habibis Birria because nothing beats a sweet treat after a meal. 2 samples is allowed for each person. I tried their guava and toasted marshmallow. My partner tried mango lassi and koolfi. All great flavors! For me, it was a tough choice. I ultimately chose the guava fresh which had a nice guava taste with a hint of spice from the Indian red chilis. Never thought I'd enjoy spicy ice cream, but this was great! My partner got the mango lassi milkshake which tasted really good! A strong taste of fresh mangoes made into a creamy milkshake. I saw they have banana pudding with gulab jamuns as a flavor. I didn't see it this time, but I hope I came try it one day!

    This is a Indian-inspired ice cream spot with about 15 flavors on the menu and honestly, I hadn't heard of most of them before. I would've loved to sample a few before deciding, but there was just one person working and she was pretty tied up since it was a Saturday afternoon. My friend and I each went with two scoops in a bowl (about $20 total for both of us). Between the two of us, we tried four different flavors and they were all really good unique, but in the best way. The shop itself is clean, with a little bit of bench seating outside and just one table with three chairs. It definitely feels more like a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out. That said, the one employee running the show did a great job keeping things moving. If they had one more person working and maybe a couple more tables, this would've been an easy five-star experience.

    Every ice cream flavor was made with love! The flavors you can't think ever going together, they have made it happen. Jackfruit and coconut? It tasted so good! It's a summer special so try it before it's gone. The flight came out to be around $15 but it was worth it. We liked lychee rose as well and guava with hint of chilli was family favorite, so unique and no flavor disappointed. You can tell they are made with high quality ingredients. I wish they were open past 9pm.

    Cherry, guava chili

    Love all the flavors here! We got double scoops of cherry, mango, watermelon sorbet, and guava chili. The cherry seasonal flavor was sooo good. It's fresh, with nice chunky cherries inside. Guava chili is subtle chili flavor and it's so good and fruit forward. Loved this too. Classic mango you can't go wrong. Watermelon sorbet wasn't too icy and was really flavorful. Looking forward to coming back and trying more flavors!

    Koolfi offers one of the most unique flavors an ice cream shop can have and Im looking forward to trying much more of what they have. We came here on a Saturday right before they opened and didn't realize they were still getting ready. We were meeting up with friends so we didn't mind waiting outside the gate. The owner let us know she's still setting up but we are more than welcome to hangout in the patio until they did and she opened the gate for us. It was hot so we were super thankful for the hospitality. After they opened we tried their flavors and you get two scoops per person. This is pretty standard these days especially after Covid. We tried the mango lassi and guava red chilli. Both were delicious but I would recommend mango lassi if you're a first timer. What I ended up trying was the Gulab Jamun Sundae. Let me tell you it was bomb dot com. I was initially disappointed by the price for the portion, but after eating it I understood why it was so small. The flavors were super decadent and rich. That small amount was definitely enough for this sundae. I would recommend trying it at some point during your adventures here at Koolfi. One last bit, there is limited indoor seating and a handful of outdoor seating. Its definitely not a come during peak time with friends place but a pick up and go spot. As for parking you can park in the surrounding neighborhoods so be prepared for a short walk.

    We stopped by after a weekend trip to get some pistachio, mango and a pint of koolfi. The service was friendly as usual and we were quickly helped. We got to sample a few before we got our scoop. Delicious and very fresh ingredients used to make these ice creams

    Amazing service, cute little place right next to the salesforce building, good variety of flavours and they rotate every week. They had guava chilli as a rotating flavour and we loved it, went back again a couple of times to try more flavours, my favourite are malai kulfi and guava chilli

    Will definitely come back! Cute ice cream shop right next door to Habibi's birria, so stopped by after trying that. My flight included (in order Im ranking them): Guava - Im more kf a fruity ice cream person, so this was my favorite. I wished the guava flavor was stronger, but overall really good. Banana pudding - had a very strong banana flavor! And it had donut pieces in it, so was really tasty Salted caramel- another really strong flavor, very caramel-y Cookies and cream- good but needed more cookie flavor Lotus rose - my least favorite. I wanted to like it because who doesnt like pink ice cream, but was lacking flavor You order and can tast 2 samples (max/person). I tasted the classic flavor. And it wasn't for me. But can see why a lot of reviews like it.

    I've had Koolfi Creamery bookmarked for awhile and was surprised that it was next door to the birria restaurant we were eating at! This establishment is LGBTQ+ friendly and POC women owned :) All of the flavors sounded so good and we were really intrigued! We couldn't decide what to get, so we opted for the sampler flight! It comes with your choice of 5 flavors and it was perfect for our party of two! We chose: watermelon mint, cardamom, malai koolfi, guava, and mango lassi. It was a hot day, so the ice cream was melting fast. All of the flavors were delicious and one of a kind! We enjoyed all of them! Our favorites were the Malai Koolfi and Cardamom. They have a hot foods menu and I would like to come back and try something from there as well. The also have a gulab jamun sundae, which sounded awesome! We will definitely be back again to try their other items and grab a pre-packed pint to take back home!

    Great ice cream! I tried the Klassic Koolfi and the seasonal burgundy cherry and chocolate for my 2 samples. I ended up getting a scoop of the mango lassi ice cream, and it tasted exactly like a mango lassi so no complaints there. The flavors are forward, and the texture is creamy. I liked looking through the recipe books on the table in the back. There is a minimum $10 you must spend to use credit card.

    I was so happy to hear about this south asian lgbt+ owned creamery from my sister, and I have to say it did not disappoint. The service here was some of the best i've had. I could tell there was a lot of love and passion put behind this business. The various ice cream flavors are so inventive and unlike anything i've seen at any other ice cream shop and everything is made fresh in house! They also allow you to sample the various flavors before deciding on what you want, which was really helpful. Since it was my first time, I landed on a classic koolfi ice cream with chai affogato, which was so sweet and tasty! I will definitely be going back to try some of their other fun flavors soon.

    Time for some unique eats

    Had the Koolfi and the Kapi (coffee) split single. Very flavorful and creamy. Worth a stop (especially after a quesobirria taco!)

    Do you guys post the weekly flavors somewhere?

    We try to but unfortunately I'm not very consistent at it. It's usually on Insta and FB

    Do they use eggs or gelatin in their ice creams?

    We use eggs in our dairy ice cream made French custard style. Vegan ice creams have no eggs or any animal products.

    Generous scoops and great service!…read more This Cold Stone is my family's absolute go-to spot in Hayward when we're craving something sweet. The first thing that stands out here is the service--the staff is always welcoming, fast, and patient, even when the line starts backing up out the door. The ice cream is always fresh, and unlike some other dessert spots, they are definitely not skimpy with the portions or the mix-ins. You get exactly what you pay for. Tip for parking: The parking lot right on Mission Blvd can get a little tight during peak weekend evening rushes, so just keep that in mind if you're hitting them up after dinner. Solid 4-star spot that never disappoints the family!

    Stopped in on a summer night…read more I sign up for the rewards and I have an offer on my rewards account "BOGO" I was purchasing a "like it size" the reward states as written buy 1 like it or love it size and get one FREE of equal or lesser value. Clearly it states that I would receive a free "like it" should I want to use my reward. Buy ONE get ONE So why am I at the register with a clear reward on my app purchasing a "like it size" and everyone is confused. To make matters even more interesting now I have 3 staff members telling me I have to buy 2. ?!? Clearly the staff will need to review reward benefits. One gal, thought I was trying to argue and tried to tell me about "opinions" LOL if you READ you will see there is a clear reward and it applies to my purchase it's not a matter of opinion. But here is my opinion don't crowd me number 1. Number 2. READ the reward it made all the sense and didn't call for 3 people to crowd me for a simple bogo. I will leave on a positive the staff were moving the line until the hiccup.
