    Truly one of my favorite ice cream shops in the east bay. I love how unique their flavors are and their rotating menu. They offer standard ice cream, hot chocolate, as well as ice cream with flavored slush. The location is conveniently across a Trader Joe's as well.

    Earl grey stracciatella and hojicha biscoff split scoop
    Emma N.

    I like the variety of Asian-inspired flavors here. There are lots of unique flavors. I got a split scoop of the earl grey stracciatella and the hojicha biscoff. Both flavors were really good and had strong tea flavors. I like that you can do a split scoop to try more flavors, too. I definitely want to come back to try more flavors.

    Melt Me is hands down one of my favorite ice cream spots in Berkeley. What sets them apart is their incredibly unique Asian-inspired flavors like Ube Malted Crunch, Thai Tea, Miso Peanut Butter Brownie, Korean Corn Latte, Black Sesame Cookies n' Cream, and Mango Sticky Rice. Every time I visit, I'm torn between trying something new or ordering my favorites again. Each flavor is creative, distinct, and actually tastes like the ingredient it's inspired by. My favorite is the Blue Jasmine & Passion Fruit Swirl. The tea flavor is strong and fragrant, which I love. My favorite combos are Thai Tea + Ube Malted Crunch for a richer, creamier bite, or Blue Jasmine Passion Fruit Swirl + Mango Sticky Rice if you're in the mood for something fruitier and refreshing. Another bonus: sprinkles are free! My only complaint is that you're limited to just three samples. Then again, that's probably why I keep coming back to try all the flavors.

    This little shop packs a variety of Asian-inspired ice cream flavors to blow your mind! The flavors they have are absolutely intriguing. I wish I could have tried them all. I ended up only getting the yuzu honey sorbet, but will definitely be coming back to try other flavors. The price is affordable and reasonable. They also have fruit freezes. There are a couple of chairs outside you can sit on to enjoy your treat. Parking is as expected around Berkeley - street parking.

    Mango Sticky Rice and Yuzu Honey Sorbet
    Devina D.

    Was in the area and had to try this ice cream place since I love Asian flavors and ice cream. The ice cream itself was pretty delicious, and you get to try 3 flavors per person. The texture of the ice cream was really good overall, but out of all the samples, my favorites were the Mango Sticky Rice and Yuzu Honey Sorbet which were both vegan flavors. Mango Sticky Rice: This combined coconut ice cream with mango sorbet. The coconut portion was super creamy, while the mango side had more of an icy sorbet texture, but together the combo worked really well. Yuzu Honey Sorbet: This one had more of a pure sorbet/icy texture and melted a little quickly, but it was super refreshing and light. I'd definitely come back to try more flavors or check out their rotating specials if I'm in the area again. Parking is just neighborhood street parking, but it was pretty easy to find. You'll probably have to walk a block or two depending on where you park. June Special Flavors: Chocomallow Almond Honey Lavender Passionfruit Crystal Boba Banoffee

    Split Single - Hojicha Biscoff & Hong Kong Memories
    Min C.

    A small shop but packed full of flavor and service! Very deserving of the high ratings. There are so many interesting flavors and you can sample up to 3 - which I think is very reasonable. They will also add complimentary chocolate or rainbow sprinkles if you desire! I got to sample my three and picked the Hojicha Biscoff (strong Hojicha with bits of Biscoff) and Hong Kong Memories (HK style milk tea with Biscoff). Both so very good and the split single were generous servings that felt like two scoops. Will be back soon to try all the other flavors that look so interesting!!

    Small spot. Line to wait. 3 samples only. So many to choose from- lots to wanna try, so you gotta be selective. I sampled the Dragonfruit lychee, the Yakult Grape Gummy and the Jasmine Passionfruit swirl. I ended up with the Korean Corn Latte and Yakult Grape Gummy. Alone, great! Together? Not so much. I wanted to feed both flavor profiles- fruity and creamy. The line isn't long and it gives you time to decide what you want. They have so many unique flavor combos, it was hard to choose! Cute spot!

    My daughter and I are a huge fan of Melt Me's unique and delicious flavors of ice cream! We are ice cream lovers and have tried everywhere from Jeni's, Salt & Straw, 21 Choices, but this is our favorite. My daughter goes to Melt Me monthly with friends to try the new flavors of the month. Thank you Nick and Nem for sharing your ice cream and story with us!

    Delicious! Every time I discover a new place, I always say to myself "why can't we have this in Davis?" Hubby and I shared the flight and got black sesame cookies 'n cream, ube malted crunch, hojicha biscoff, mango sticky rice. It was all so yummy. I also sampled yakult grape gummy sorbet, kaya pandan & butter crumble, blue jasmine & passion fruit swirl, Thai tea & brown sugar mochi, and miso peanut butter brownies. All the flavors are excellent and would definitely go back because they do a series of flavors for the month. The only slight drawback I'd give is I wish the flavors were slightly punchier. In other words, I want the flavors to hit me as soon as I take a bite... but that's just me. My favorite of the bunch is the mango sticky rice. It was definitely nostalgia for me and reminds me of eating mango ice cream as a kid. July 2026 series flavors are: Campfire s'more Dragon fruit lychee Kaya pandan & butter crumble Yakult grape gummy sorbet Check them out before the month ends! BONUS: free sprinkles for your ice cream!

    Lots of air in the ice cream
    Tasha H.

    I stopped by this place on a whim after seeing their creative flavors on a sign board outside. They have super cool Asian inspired flavors like coffee and corn, Thai tea Boba, etc and I was super excited to try it. They do allow samples, which is really nice, but the smallest size is a single scoop and you can only get one flavor, so I tried the coffee corn. The flavor was good and I could definitely taste the coffee and the corn, but the texture of the ice cream was definitely not the best. It had a slightly sandy texture and you could tell there was a ton of air churned into it so you don't get a super smooth mouthfeel.

    Double scoop - Oreo malt on the bottom and banoffee on top.
    Alex D.

    Support this small business! They offer unique flavors that are really good, with big portion sizes to help justify the price. Oreo malt was the best and I will go back just for that one. The shop is super small with a few chairs outside, and it's nice to walk down the sidewalk to Ohlone Park and eat as you go.

    I LOVE this place!!! It's right next to Trader Joe's on MLK, and I cannot help but to stop and get a scoop every time I'm grocery shopping. They have set flavors (which are delicious), but I love trying their monthly specials! All their flavors are so creative and have an Asian twist to them. They always hit the spot, no matter what you're craving. The owners are so sweet too! I have such a good time every time I go. It's definitely my to-go ice cream spot in Berkeley!

    December special: Biscoff Hojicha
    cristina p.

    Saw these cute hot chocolates all over tiktok and I had to try them!!! Parking is a bit difficult; we parked about a block or so away. When we got to the creamery, there was already a crowd of people waiting outside; some enjoying their hot chocolates and ice cream, and some waiting in line to order. Expect a 30min wait for hot chocolates, due to high demand! The store is also very tiny. Limited seating inside and outside. I grabbed a Hojicha Biscoff cone while we waited for our hot chocolates. They have such unique ice cream flavors and a majority are Asian inspired, like mango sticky rice and Strawberry Matcha. The Hojicha Biscoff tasted very "toasty" and not too sweet! The hot chocolates were yummy and I love the taste of the toasted marshmallow rim and whipped cream topping!!! Their other hot chocolate flavors, matcha white chocolate and Hojicha white chocolate, also sounded really good! Sadly, they were all sold out that day. Friendly staff; please be patient and kind, as they are getting a lot of attention thru tiktok and wait times are longer than usual. Will def come back to try their other ice flavors!

The only issue is there's no clear menu posted online, so we walked in completely blind. Their website shows a long list of flavors but not what they actually have that day, so it felt like a guessing game. The line moved really slow because there was only one employee handling everything. She was taking orders, giving samples, answering questions, and ringing people up all at once. She was super friendly and doing her best, but it felt like a lot for one person during a rush and the shop could definitely use more help. The space is really small and tight so it was hard to even see the flavors until we got close to the front. When we finally got up there, a lot of the tubs were already empty which was confusing since most ice cream shops restock. Some flavors I wanted weren't available anymore, and if they're out it would make more sense to just remove them from display. The dirty containers didn't make sense to display. I sampled the jasmine green tea and knew right away I wanted it. It was creamy with a smooth tea flavor that wasn't overpowering. I got a small with half jasmine green tea and half avocado. The avocado was surprisingly really good, super creamy and tasted like a fresh avocado smoothie. Both flavors weren't overly sweet which I liked. My husband wanted cookies and cream but it was sold out so he got chocolate chip instead, which was solid and creamy with good texture. Overall the ice cream itself was good, not the best I've had but definitely not bad. I like that the flavors lean more natural and not overly sweet. I could see myself coming back if I'm in the area, but the experience would be a lot better with faster service and more consistency with what's actually available.

Thanks to an acquaintance who told me about Caravaggio Gelato, we checked it out when a family member was visiting from out of town. It was a treat to be served directly by the gelatiere artigiano who crafts the recipes. Among us three, we tried 4 flavors. We spotted the Gianduja (Hazelnut & Chocolate) later, and it will be on the list for the next visit. * Piedmont Hazelnut (Nocciola del Piemonte): The overall favorite--rich, creamy, and nutty. * Orange Blossom Honey: Our guest's top pick from the regular menu. He exclaimed, beaming, at least three times how good that flavor was! * King Pluot: One of the special flavors of the day, the gelato captured the taste of summer - bright, sweet, and refreshing. * Black Sesame: I was curious how black sesame would taste in gelato, and I was not disappointed - the flavor was deep and earthy, made with Japanese sesame seeds.

They own an apartment in Paris and I didn't want to offend them with my usual guerrilla tactics. I'm known to fight dirty and conspire with others during this game and everybody hates me because of it, and I didn't want to be banned from their apartment, as Paris in the fall is lovely. Thus my journey with Walter began. One thing about me, is I respect a place that knows flavors. I don't want basic vanilla, give me some weird and strange and flavorful that will tantalize my palette and ignite my senses. Give me salty and sweet. Give me TANG. Give me these things and DONT give me gas. Bad Walters cracked the code. All flavor, real dairy, no lactose, no gas. Each week they have a different batch of flavors, so there's always something new to explore. There's like 6 flavors to choose from at once and they let me try them all before I selected my choice hehe. I tried to sample 6 flavors at Cold Stone and they took me out back and shot me, but here, nobody was mean to me. Mr. Potatohead is the flavor I landed on--brown sugar custard with peanut butter swirl and chocolate covered potato chips. The chunks of chocolate covered potato chips were lodged in the ice cream and I felt like an archaeologist excavating ancient rocks as my spoon lifted the potato chocolate chunks out of the creamy custard into my mouth. I bought a pint. The Mick Jagger was another joy, with its salty caramel and Oreo chunks. They're lucky Peaches Christ was sold out because I might've lost my mind for a peach cobbler ice cream! They wouldve had to drag me out by the back of my neck like a rabid dog! Maybe next time. All in all, tasty ice cream. Would recommend.

We have been extremely loyal customers ever since. They rotate flavors, but through many months and many visits I don't think I've ever tried a bad one.

The employees are very helpful and kind letting you sample the flavors. Our absolute favorite is tinky winky- ube flavored ice cream with honey comb pieces. They also sell points to the side- take advantage. You'll want more when you're done! The ambiance and vibe of bad Walter's is perfect. Bright colors, disco ball dripping, fun sayings on the cups, the whole 9 yards. The take home pint we got has Reddit "hate" comments and their responses, it's hilarious. This ice cream store is way more of a vibe than any marketing agent could dream of. Who would've thought I wish I could be a rep for an ice cream company? Oh and they also do a stamp card when you buy pints to get a free scoop. You bring in the containers so they can recycle them. It's a win win for both sides, loves it. Best ice cream ever!!!

But, my boss orders us food from Fenton's via Doordash to be delivered to our Oakland office from time to time. Last several times in a row, it's been pretty dang bad, (the potato chips always taste fishy!) but today (8/5/26) it was literally garbage. We had 2 egg salad sandwiches and a jalapeno burger, plus two milkshakes. The egg salad sandwiches had to be straight up tossed out. Just not edible. The egg salad was sooo watery, it was like a soup. Just dripping and running down out of the bread. Also, a HEAVY mustard taste, overpowering everything else. The burger had a piece of something (literally) translucent on it, apparently their idea of a slice of cheese? And the accompanying fries were COLD. The toasted almond milkshake was so runny it was like a flavored water. Not at all a creamy consistency, I don't even think they made it with milk, it seemed to be just a tiny bit of ice cream, some water and a lot of ice cubes (still visible in the shake). Just nasty. The other milkshake seemed ok. Of course, with the order being from DoorDash, it's near-impossible to get any real support, so it's just basically a total loss. I don't know if Fenton's just doesn't GAF, since they're always busy anyways, OR if they need to pay their employees more in order to attract the sort of person who's capable of being trained to care to do things correctly, but it's just really a bummer that such a neat, fun, old legacy business is allowing itself to disappoint customers and turn into a big mess like this. Sad.
