This place is great for rolled ice cream. My son likes their Birthday cake with sprinkles (no whip). My daughter likes their milkshakes. There's many different flavors and if you don't like it, you can custom make your own! They have Banana splits and root beer floats. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's usually never busy, but the staff is friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can watch them make your rolled up ice cream because there's a glass window. It's very intriguing watching them roll it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a few tables and chairs, no public bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's accessories for sale like jewelry and press on nails. The owner, Rich is an amazing guy! He's very nice and friendly. This is a business I don't mind supporting. read more

On a hot summer day, we decided to get a scoop of ice cream. We checked Yelp and came across Polar Bear at Oakley. It's only a 10-minute drive from our house so it's very convenient. We were with our grandson and he loved ice cream. He had vanilla ice cream with gummy bears on top. We had their rolled Rocky road with marshmallow. I saw how the ice cream was rolled and it was fascinating. The ice cream itself is very good. The medium size is good enough for one person and can also be shared. I don't know if this is a locally owned business but I want to support this place since I live in the city. read more

I love the rolled ice cream here. I always look for good banana ice cream, and they have it! The workers were very helpful bc the way you order it is with a vanilla base and add banana inside. This is a no frills shop but I think the icy treats are worth it. read more

I have been coming to polar bear since the beginning. The humble older owners always use to be here and greet us. Now there was 3 young kids who dont even greet or acknowledge us. Skip us and only serve half our orders. We see the other half of the orders just sitting on the counter while the guy flirts and jokes around when he should be working. When we finally got the rest of the orders they were melted and even the wipe cream was melted. read more

Terrible service today by a boy named Sebastian. He left my me and wife on hold on the phone for over 10 minutes until we just hung up. When I arrived at the store I told him I was the one on hold for 10 minutes, he laughed and said ohhh sorry... he asked what I wanted to order and before I could order he pointed to the other to girls working there and asked if they could ring me up cause he had to clock out. Why would you ask what I want if you weren't going to take my order? Ice cream is good just would appreciate better service. (The other girls working there were nice and polite) read more

I noticed this spot when I was nearby and I always wanted to give rolled ice cream a try again. The last one I been to closed down in Pleasant Hill, and the ones I found in shopping malls were a bit more on the pricier side. This place had a wide array of choices and the prices were definitely reasonable. Strawberry Mango: The fun part is always watching them make the ice cream for you. From what I saw, they use the toppings you chose (strawberry and mango in my case) and pour milk as the base. After that, they roll your ice cream and present it to you quite mesmerizingly. As to the taste, this one was really good. The fresh strawberry and mangos I got were delicious and felt refreshing to eat, even on a rainy day. The ice cream was soft yet tough enough to keep its shape. They give plenty amount, even on a medium, but was well worth it. Overall, I will be sure I come back here again and try other flavors they got. read more

Always good rolled ice cream! Good service & at a quick pace. They have a variety of flavors from fruity to chocolatey with toppings from cereal to candy to real fruit. Always hits the spot! - not much else to say, just a quick short review; need not much to say. Will always be coming back here! read more

First time coming here. Didn't even know they were in a shopping center near me. The store windows are tinted very dark so you'll have to make sure the open sign is lit. The store needs some renovations or upgrades so it can look brighter and inviting. They roll the ice cream in front of you which is pretty neat to watch if you've never seen it made (rolled). We ordered Rocky Roll, Mint Chocolate Chips, and Ube (Taro). My niece loved her Rocky Roll it had a lot of toppings, my friend liked her mint she rated it about 3.5 stars. My Ube was ok too. It took a few seconds for the flavor to hit my taste bud. My topping was whipped cream and sprinkles (not a fan). I kind of wish it had white chocolate shavings or Ube sprinkles. The service was great. Fast and friendly. It's a bit more pricey than normal but considering the pandemic, everything, went up in price. The sizes are confusing so make sure you look at the cup. They asked me if I wanted medium or regular (I failed to look at the cups). The regular is bigger than the medium just FYI. Overall it was ok. read more

I got the strawberry banana. The ice cream wasn't smooth and was hard. The picture shows it comes with strawberry and bananas. The ice cream was too sweet for my liking. I did not the the syrup on top of it. It made it waaaay too sweet. When I checked out I asked them if I needed to add strawberry toppings or if it already came with the order. The woman said that it did in fact come with the order and j did not have to add it. However, when I got it the ice cream; the banana was on there, but it was missing the strawberry fruit topping. They fixed the issue tho :) read more

We don't get to Oakley often anymore since we moved but I brought the kids back today and the service was unbelievably SLOW! 3 ice cream order took over half an hour. A family of 5 ahead of us and we walk in with me, my 2 kids and their friend. One poor worker making each order individually- wouldn't have pre-paid (as they make you do) had I known it was going to take half an hour for ice cream. You think ice cream, you think a quick treat. Not a long wait smh read more

DO NOT get the milkshake. It's literally really cold milk and whatever flavor you ask for.

This place is such a nice hidden gem in Oakley. Personally the store isn't too big but they provide long benches for you to watch them roll the ice cream as you wait for yours to be made. Maybe 5 tables with an arrange of 2-4 seats each, definitely enough room to stay and eat your ice cream. I think the service was good. Patient when picking flavors and give recommendations when asked. They also work together if not busy to make sure yours is exactly how it should be made. Definitely creamy, cute touch as it's made into rolls and definitely ALOT more than you think you'll have. No frills, no fuss. Just something close and yummy. read more

The vibes are off in this place. To start the windows outside are really tinted which, makes the storefront look sketchy! When you're inside the shop, it's clear that they have not renovated or put money in their appearance. There is a polar bear mural on the wall, but all the other surfaces and lighting inside are dingy and dark. The music playing was odd and eclectic. They also sell jewelry and fake nails, and small funko pop like figures. All of that makes the place feel disjointed. The young girl taking my order was nice and recommended my fruity pebble flavor. She made my ice cream and the amount you get doesn't seem comparable to a regular scoop. For $7 & $9 I feel we should get more and a decent amount of toppings. I feel that they skimp out of toppings. Taste wise, it was okay, not bad, but not the best ice cream that I've had. read more

they are so stingy i ordered a medium and they made me a large and had to put that one in the freezer and had to remake mine. just give me the large and call it a day it's really not that deep it's not my fault you made it wrong. it was the owner that made it too. learn how to run a business and know its ok to give sometimes it's not the end of the world. you wasted more money remaking it. read more

Ice cream too hard, flavor was only average. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Store too small, wait too long and price too expensive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I had never had rolled ice cream before...I know..I know..what rock have I been living under? Anyway, during a long overdue visit to the besties we took a vote amongst all our littles of what they wanted and rolled ice cream won! This place is located in a large shopping center so parking is ample. You walk in and are immediately greeted with enthusiasm. I like feeling welcomed, don't you? So their menu is colorfully and largely displayed on their wall and pics to go with. Depending on how elaborate you want it the more elaborate concoctions was like $7 I think. My son ordered an oreo cookie something or another and mom with her filipina self went with a mango one. Can't even remember what the girl child ordered. What we found neat and such a great idea was that you could watch as they made your order. I guess that is a good idea so it keeps you and the munchkins entertained as you wait. Ice cream was creamy and not heavy. It was very pleasant to the contrast of my yummy fresh mango and mine came with a rolled cookie stick which was pleasing to the eye. It was just pleasing to the eye. Until next time.... read more

Ice cream had little flavor. The man behind the counter didn't even care to greet us. Their ordering machine was hard to use. My ice cream (chocolate) tasted slightly like mint...I think it's because they don't fully clean the stone the roll the ice cream on. My sister found a fruit pebble in her matcha ice cream as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place overall seems dirty, run down, and unwelcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Super delicious rolled icecream from Polar Bear. When we walked in there wasn't anyone else, so we ordered right away. I got the green tea matcha in a small. Small doesn't come with the wafer stick fyi. Only the regular. They only come with 2 sizes! I will definitely be coming back, the rolled icecream is so good! read more

Super cute rolled ice cream shop in Oakley! I finally took my kids to get rolled ice cream and it's really goood! It's smooth and full of fresh ingredients. The kids both ordered chunky monkey, banana, chocolate, peanut Nutella. With a Reese's peanut butter cup on top. They were in heaven. Each cup is around 7 dollars I think. I didn't like how they didn't post prices, unless it was hidden in the menu somewhere. The serving size is definitely shareable and there are about seven ice cream rolls in a cup, one size only. Plexiglass everywhere for Covid safety which I liked. The one worker was super efficient and nice. If your in a rush and there is a line you are going to be waiting as it's not the fastest process. It's worth it to see the kids watch the making of their rolled ice cream! read more

Was so excited to see this place open so close to my house. We went and I got fruity pebbles and my mom got coffee and cream. Both were DELICIOUS! Fun for kids to watch them roll the ice cream behind the counter. I read in another review that the customer service was great and it really was. They were so nice and personable. It's always important to me to be greeted when walking into a restaurant instead of people just looking at you when you walk in and we were greeted from across the room! I took my husband back here and he loved it just as much as I do. Support small, local businesses! They truly appreciate it. read more

I love this place bring our Grandkids alot today @ 4pm we are waiting for our ice cream and a guy walks in grabs the business phone and tells the girls working behind the counter your owners let me use this phone everyday, while holding his own charged phone in his other hand to call a homeless shelter, thats great, but he sits at an already occupied table smelling like dope around a full dining room with children!!! Is this so owners??? Do you allow this???? Please respond. read more

So excited that the opened a rolled ice cream joint in the area. The place is in a small strip mall, modestly decorated but the ice cream is pretty awesome. The prices are reasonable- $5.50 for a small and there are lots of different choices. The small was more than enough but next time, I'll size up because it was so yummy! We tried the strawberry mango, strawberry madness and coffee. We loved them all. Even though the place is busy, the staff is friendly and acknowledge you once you step in the store. Love this new addition to the area :) read more

This is the second time I have been here and it was AMAZE I got the Oreo rolled ice cream. Service was fast, we got there right in time before the after school rush. The woman working in the front was nice and helpful. They have a stamp card where you receive a free ice cream after it is all filled up. Their menu is really helpful because there are photos with and a description of each ice cream so you can see what you are ordering. Everything is made right there in front of you and is pretty cool to watch. The ice cream was really frozen and stayed frozen the whole time I ate it, it didn't melt halfway through. read more

Rolled ice cream? YES please :) I was visiting my parents out in the Antioch area and i was really craving something sweet & refreshing on a HOT summer day! Of course I got on Yelp and began my search and found Polar Bear, so I decided to take a short drive to satisfy my craving. Everyone on staff was super friendly and so helpful, since it was my first time having rolled ice cream and wasn't sure on what to order. I chose the Strawberry Madness on a taco waffle cone! Strawberry galore! Strawberry rolled ice cream with strawberries and strawberry syrup! Too much strawberry you say? HECK NO! I was in heaven .... it was sooooo good!! They have so many yummy looking options on the menu that i look forward to coming back and trying more out! I think next time i'll try something with Oreos on it :) Go check em out! read more
