    Guava and oolong with marmalade

    Yellow watermelon sorbet is in season and it's soooo good! Highly recommend. We also got the cookie butter strawberry and it tasted like a strawberry shortcake. Really nice for the summer

    Green thai tea and pecan flavor I don't remember the name of

    Perhaps one of my favorite ice cream spots in the area? Highlights: samples! And you can try them all! I also liked that they were on metal spoons haha. The ice cream quality was creamy not icy and the range of flavors were so fun (reminded me of garden creamery in SF). Service/ambiance: the workers were very nice and patient. There was also plenty of seating. Parking can be a little tough but we lucked out coming on a Monday night.

    Got a single scoop split into the breakfast brownie and raspberry lychee. I loved how the breakfast brownie had a crunch from the corn flakes and was not overwhelmingly chocolate. The raspberry lychee had a vanilla base and was stirred in so it's not a sorbet but the flavors still came through. The ice cream itself was pretty soft and creamy. I love their unique flavors!

    Banana w/ dulce de leche
    Emily Y.

    I've had this place on my list for awhile, with many friends recommending it for unique ice cream flavors. And Miharu did not disappoint! I was able to try multiple flavors, and decided on two for a single split scoop. - Banana w/ dulce de leche - the banana flavor is very strong with a splash of sweetness. It reminds me of caramelized bananas. 10/10 - Hojicha - very true to the traditional flavor, also 10/10!

    Have an ice cream before or after a meal is your moral imperative. It's creamy, it's delicious, it's sinful, it's Miharu! We totally discovered this place after having delicious pizza, when the plan was to literally have a snack, and we've already moved onto ice cream. There are reasons that they say a diet will start on a Monday... This place was absolutely packed! The line move slow, but it is so worth it. More than likely, they're giving samples to customers, answering questions, and trying to make sure that everyone is being taken care of. How could they not be when they have this amazing ice cream to look forward to?!? This is by no means your basic ice cream parlor, this is so far elevated above that, but if you like ice cream, please put this on your must try list! All of their flavors are super unique, made in house, and, did I mention how incredibly delicious and decadent it is?! I had to have the pandan with ginger. It's everything that I wanted it to be. It was sweet, it was perfection, it was probably the best day of ice cream I've had in a hot minute. This is exactly the reason why I visit at the Bay Area. Cute little store in Oakland, absolutely worth the push for parking, etc. just to go have this fabulous ice cream.

    Just came here today to get some ice cream. Very cute spot so close to bart/bus zones and close to the lake. We walked from Adam's Point. Outdoor and indoor seating plus bathrooms which is always nice to have especially if walking all day and need to empty your bladder!!!! I just dont know if these Asian fusion ice cream places are for me. We sampled a few flavors - i went with the breakfast brownie bites, hubby got the coconut cake and child went for the vegan dark chocolate. Hers was the best but tad too rich. Rest was bit blah and way to sweet for me. Just going to stick to regular flavors because I dont think this is for us.

    Lychee with Strawberry Rose and Banana w/Dulce Leche
    Lisa N.

    Stopped by Miharu to grab a cone after dinner, and I'm so glad we did! They have a bunch of fun flavors, but my favorite was the lychee with raspberry rose. I crave it every time I think about it. It has the perfect strong lychee flavor with a lovely floral note, making it such a refreshing and memorable treat.

    Ube, Green thai tea scoops of ice cream
    Customer A.

    The ice cream flavor combinations were unique and wonderful! Servers were more than happy to offer samples as requested! All the staff were very patient, attentive, and friendly! The ambiance and decor of the store was perfect for their themeing and unique flavors! It takes me 13 minutes to walk here and I'm not much of a walker but I might become one just to try more of their flavors :o)

    Lychee w/ raspberry rose and pandan ginger
    Evan Z.

    There's a wide variety of unique, Asian-inspired flavors here. I sampled most of the flavors - for me, their most popular flavors (breakfast brownie, banana dulce de leche) were far too sweet and honestly a bit basic. The lychee raspberry was quite mild tasting and very refreshing. The pandan ginger was one of the most unique flavors ice cream flavors I've had, it had a unique texture that complemented the pandan flavor very well. I'm not sure if the pandan is mixed with ginger in the ice cream itself but if it is then it's not that strong; the ginger bits are a great addition to the ice cream though. The staff is super nice, they let me sample as many flavors as I wanted (albeit likely because no one else was in line). 4.7/5

    Banana split
    Kevin T.

    This little delightful spot is quite the nice spot to polish off dinner in Oakland. Wasn't too crazy busy Sunday evening, but the flavors are unique and really hit that spot. I'd honestly toss it up between here and the monthly Salt & Straw flavors (my usual go to), which is quite the compliment. Remarkably complex flavors and you can get them with all the fixings and not overbearingly sweet. Staff were also very helpful in navigating us to the parfait of our evening dreams, so only praise for their patience for an indecisive group of three. We ended up going with their banana-split, but subbing out the cosmo for three other interesting flavors (Lychee, Qahwa=arabic-coffee, Dark choco). Faaantastic.

    Vand JonAnthony made this experience so pleasant! Walking in and seeing empty ice cream containers was a huge bummer. Surprise surprise they had it all in the back. V and JonAnthony were literally the most engaged Ice Cream scoopers I have seen in quite a while. They really don't make them like that anymore. No regrets!

    This is a small place down at Telegraph Avenue. My friend from out of town really wanted us to try their ice cream. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I'm so happy we tried it. It exceeded my expectations. First of all, the cashiers were so nice to us. They made good conversation and allowed us to try different flavors as we were a bit indecisive. They were very patient and forgiving with us and I really appreciated that. Additionally, they accommodated to us wanted to try the bruleed bananas without going for a sundae. Unfortunately, I've forgotten the exact flavors we got, but I do remember really enjoying the ice cream. The creme-bruleed banana was very unique and an amazing addition to the ice cream. This is definitely a place to go try new and unique flavors as well as toppings. I hope they're able to had waffle bowls in the future. I really think that will elevate their ice cream even more. Overall a 5/5 :)

    Lavender tea and lychee with raspberry rose
    Paula V.

    So so good. We got there and line was out the door but despite them having one worker, the line moved by fast and the worker was kind. The ice cream flavors are so unique and I wanted to try it all. Perfect balance of sweetness. The decor inside is so cute and I appreciate the wall that described the ice cream flavors.

    Do you offer vegan options?

    Yes! I'm not even a vegan yet they are so good. They usually have around 3-6 vegan options at any given time.

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.

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 flavors are also very fun, not your typical cookies and cream, cookie dough, etc. Although they do have a plain version sometimes. 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!!!

There are so many inventive options on any given day, and there are always exciting new ones to try at each visit! I was inspired to finally write a review after hearing about some weirdos getting up in arms about a correctly-named ice cream inspired by a local legend, but to be honest this review was long overdue regardless because the ice cream really is worth it. If you're sensitive to lactose at all (even short of being intolerant), you'll most likely notice a difference in how good you feel after eating Bad Walter's compared to other dairy ice creams. I talk about this place to friends all the time, I don't think you can go wrong with anything they have here. Highly recommend subscribing to Sydney's newsletter to get the inside scoop (haha) on the goings-on behind the scenes plus getting the first look at the weekly menu, because sometimes the one on the website isn't updated as often!

Shooting Star Cafe is in Oakland Chinatown and it is a Hong Kong style Cafe. Besides Hong Kong style foods like baked spaghetti with steak, they have a good selection of boba tea and fruit drinks. The dining area had maybe 10 or more tables, and the tables were very much occupied by families and group of friends. There was a TV overhead, so hanging out is encouraged. We tried the classic milk tea with boba, and a citrus fruit refresher. We enjoyed our drinks. The fruit refresher was made with real fruits and tasted fresh. You can customized the sugar level, and we probably should have asked for more than 30%, as 30% was not sweet enough. We like to try the food menu next time.

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.
