Upon entering Salt & Straw, you can smell aroma of the flavors ...! The menu offers a nice variety of flavors; the staff is kind and does allow samples for you to try beforehand. They are very helpful and knowledgeable. I ended up getting the Hazelnut Cookies & Cream, so good! One of my favorites! It is pricier than most ice cream parlors but it's worth it. Parking is a bit of pain because it gets very crowded so I ended up parking two blocks away, at the parking lot. Would definitely return in the future and would most likely try another flavor! SALT & STRAW ***** FIVE STARS *****

I love this place! They have very high quality products - open till 11pm - long lines, that are so…read moreworth it! You can try as many flavors as you like. They always have unique ones from a seasonal perspective. They have great locations - I love Univ Ave and also the one near Valley Fair mall. The vibe is very chill - the people servicing are very polite and seem to enjoy their job :) My fav flavor is are honey lavender and sea salt caramel with ribbons.

Only the most awesome ice cream place in Bay Area. I am not a fan of ice cream in general .. but…read morethis place has me coming back everytime for their signature and new flavors. The service is great... They help you taste flavors before what you want to order. So many flavors to chose from and you will know immediately what to get. The ambiance is casual and they have both outdoor and indoor seating. I love their malai kulfi and rose kaku katli which is not available anymore. I had so many of my friends try the rose kaku katli and they absolutely loved it . I would bring pints home. I am super bummed about them discontinuing that. I hope they bring it back soon.

I came here yesterday with my nephew. I wanted to take him out for some ice cream, so we decided to…read morestop by here for some exotic Indian flavors. My nephew enjoyed his double scoop cookies and cream. He said it was really good. I ordered a half & half scoop: Gulab Jamun mixed with Biscoff. This was super creamy and rich but also, the ice cream started to melt pretty quick. I normally like my ice cream held up together and not melting so quick. Another awesome flavor is their mango; It's like literally biting through an actual mango. So good! I'd like to give Bibek, the employee, a huge shout out for taking his time with giving me samples. He's a nice and enthusiastic person who loves showcasing the flavors of Pints of Joy. I'd definitely come back again for a scoop!

Black sesame- pretty solid and i really enjoy the nuttiness but for some reason i think that its more nutty than creamy. 4 berry sorbet- that one was pretty good i think it was pretty fruity but the combo ended up tasting more like raspberry vs the combo Lychee- honestly pretty solid not much to say except it was good Boko(i think)- it was really good idk the different between coconut and young coconut but it was yummy Ny cherry MY FAVORITE HIGHKEY IT WAS SO GOOD IT WAS SWEET BUT LIGHT I COULD EAT IT SO MUCH

There's a wide variety of flavors to choose from, which made it honestly hard to decide because…read moreeverything looked so good. We ended up ordering the Crazy Jen's Brownie with chocolate chips, and it was absolutely delicious rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The inside really has that classic ice cream parlor feel to it, which made the experience even more fun and nostalgic. The service was amazing too. The staff was super friendly, and we even found out that Jen is actually his wife which made the whole visit feel more personal and memorable.

We got the brioche french toast and the corned beef hash!…read moreThe Caribbean french toast sounded really good but I can't eat bananas so I asked them to just add coconut to the brioche french toast. I'd highly highly recommend ordering the french toast that way cuz it was really delicious and flavorful! The corned beef hash also tasted really good and hit the spot. Honestly there were so many options in the menu that looked really yummy, so you could order anything and come out satisfied. The service is really amazing. I asked them to make alot of adjustments for me and the waiter was really nice and accommodating, and the food turned out great! The vibes are really pleasant and it was pretty packed for a Wednesday afternoon. Will definitely come again!

We've eaten here regularly for nearly two years and have been customers of the Creamery since we…read morewere in high school (40+ years) and the food is usually good but service can be challenging. We always ask for a table with chairs because I have back problems and can't sit in their totally worn booths and the host has never had a problem with that request. But yesterday the regular host wasn't there and we were told they were busy and we had to sit at the counter or in a booth because they didn't want to put us the two of us at a table for four (there were two tables available). We waited for nearly ten minutes and when I asked again if we could sit at one of the tables was almost rudely told no, they were busy. So we left and went to Joanie's on California Avenue. They were also busy but immediately seated us and we had a much better lunch. Sometimes it's good to change things up as we'd forgotten how kind and attentive all the of the staff are at Joanie's and how much better the food was. And both of our plates of food came out hot and perfectly cooked which doesn't always happen at the Creamery. I guess we just eat there for the memories. My husband said none of the staff at the Creamery seem happy except for the host so if we don't see him seating the guests, we'll just go to Joanie's.

My kid had the best- Nutella, strawberry and chocolate. The strawberries were super fresh and yummy. I'd get that for sure next time. Mine was good but not the best- coffee, Oreos and peanut butter. I still liked mine- the coffee was potent. The place is small and I could see it getting crowded. I liked eating there to get the full flavor and experience of a rolled ice cream.

Chocolate chip cookie ($3.75) with a scoop of mocha almond fudge ice cream ($5.25): the cookie was too crispy, as I prefer it to be soft baked in the middle with crispy edges.

3 stars overall. This has been our go-to bakery for at least the last 7 years, their cakes are our…read morefavorite (we have had all sorts of cakes, their red velvet, mango, tea cake, anniversary cake, etc etc), and those were a solid 5 stars, and are always consistent. but recently they have changed and are much sweeter especially their red velvet cake - its way too sweet - so deducted one star. I wonder if the rest of the cakes have gotten super sweet too? We loved this place due to balanced desserts - deducted one star due to the sweet cake I also deducted another star based on my experience with their croissants. The plain croissant is surprisingly sweet, seemingly due to a sugar glaze or syrup on top (see images) and it tasted old but a plain croissant should be buttery, flaky, and crispy, not coated in something sugary and it wasn't crispy at all. The thing is, a well-made plain croissant should have a natural amber sheen just from the egg wash, and there is no need for sugary syrup, but their croissants have a clear thick glaze that is pooled and caramelized on top, so it felt like eating a sweet bread. I had high hopes given how consistently great their cakes have been, so hopefully it's something they revisit and do better on. Their service history has been great, but as the years have gone by, it's not as friendly or inviting as it used to be (the place has gotten popular over the years, so we have noticed a few things are sliding downhill, so I am curious how this place will be over the next few years). The interior is small (no seating inside, but they do have a few tables outside), we have always taken it to go from here. I am hoping the rest of the cakes aren't sweet, we will try them and will update the review again

I also got 5 additional toppings (brownie, m&ms, cookie dough, cheesecake bites, and mango popping boba) for $1 more. There are indoor and outdoor tables available Loved the chocolate hazelnut! I wanted to try something different, and while the mango passion jasmine was good, it was a bit tart for my liking. I will probably stick to plain mango as my second flavor next time. All the toppings were great and definitely worth the extra dollar. Quick service and tasty flavors, I will definitely be back!

The mochi was a bit stale, but they were generous with the toppings. The plain tart at pinkberry is superior to yogurtlands; it is more tart. The strawberry matcha had a light matcha taste, but the strawberry tasted fresh, less artificial. The young man serving me that day was helpful, it was my first time coming there and he answered any questions I had. It seemed clean and had seating areas both inside the shop and outside.
