Our kids love it here. It's a nice neighborhood spot to enjoy the redwoods and let the kids have a little ice cream. The new owners set out activities for kids which I think is a really thoughtful, nice touch. I also love the little waffle cone cookies they sell. read more

The price at this place is stupid. Just took my daughters here and 3 scoops on cones is $30 and they have the audacity to charge 2.6% to take cards. Ice cream is fine but mill valley swirl is much better. I think they got new ownership somewhat recently and this is a classic play to just milk the customer base (pun intended). I get that running a small business is hard but this is highway robbery on a product with 90%+ gross margins. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this shop! My family and I came upon it during a recent trip to Larkspur, and we are so glad we did. First off, the customer service is top-notch. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with big smiles and a genuine "welcome" that you just don't find everywhere. The staff was incredibly patient as we sampled flavors, which was much appreciated! What really sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere. It's so much more than just an ice cream shop. They have these awesome kid-oriented art activities that kept my little ones busy and creative, plus free arcade games that brought back some serious nostalgia for the adults. It's the perfect spot to actually relax while the kids have a blast. I have to obviously mention the most important part: the ice cream. It is phenomenal. They've developed their own recipes and you can tell they put a lot of thought into them. The ube is a must try! It's vibrant, earthy, and sweet--hands down the best ube ice cream I've had in the city. And I have to shout out the cookie dough - this isn't your standard grocery store version. The dough chunks are huge and have a unique, homemade taste that pairs perfectly with the base. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot with an amazing vibe and even better treats, this is it. We will definitely be back! read more

We went to The Shack to grab some late-night ice cream, and it was such a cute experience! It's a family-owned kind of spot, and you can really feel that cozy, welcoming vibe the moment you walk in. The inside is adorable -- calligraphy, paintings, and drawings all over the walls make it feel creative and homey. The whole place just has a really nice, chill energy. The ice cream itself was fresh and flavorful -- we tried the Horchata and Ube flavors, and both were amazing! You can tell they use good, fresh ingredients. The flavors tasted real, not artificial, which I loved. The staff were super friendly, too. I don't remember the name of the girl who helped us, but she was great -- when we asked how many samples we could try, she said "as many as you want", which was honestly the sweetest thing ever. We got the kids' size, and it was the perfect portion for a late-night treat. I'd definitely recommend The Shack -- great vibes, great service, and even better ice cream! Overall Rating: 5/5 Must Try: Ube & Horchata Ice Cream Vibe: Artsy, cozy, and welcoming read more

This place just missed the mark for me. I liked the atmosphere and the kiosks, but the ice cream was disappointing. It tasted like Dreyer's and the flavor wasn't strong. I usually love salted caramel and cotton candy ice cream, but neither stood out here. I decided to shake things up and try the cookie sando, which was a bit of a mystery since there were no signs explaining it. It turned out to be ice cream between two Oreos, but there was very little ice cream inside. I liked the games, but they did not work because they required extra payment. The people were nice and the service was fast, but overall the ice cream just wasn't it. read more

Stopped by and tried the S''mores sundae and all I can say is "OH BOY!" That was by far one of the best sundaes I have ever had. My only complaint was the ice cream was so cold. It really hurt my teeth and froze my brain. I'll be back though. So many flavors I need to try. read more

We waited for 30 mins. This is not the first time the order did not go through with the onsite kiosk. It did not print a receipt and 43 mins later we still do not have our food. This is not a reflection on the people who work at this location. It is more the technology they rely on, is not conducive to a smooth experience. The kiosk said cherry lemonade was available. When my friend went to order he said it was not- this whole experience is shit. read more

The ice cream is creamy and has good flavor. The shop was empty on a sunny weekday late afternoon but for two high school-aged scoopers. Just be prepared to pay $10 for a little less than softball-sized serving and a choice of 12 flavors, most of them non-classics like raspberry lemon, oat milk vanilla, birthday cake and something blue. When I was there, they were out of strawberry and mint chip. None of the other flavors appealed so I ended up with vanilla and chocolate. read more

This locally owned spot is great! Waffle cones are fresh and delicious, as are the unique and traditional flavors. The go-tos for my family are sour watermelon, Superman, strawberry, and cookie dough. It's staffed my teenagers who are friendly with the kiddos, and there is ample outdoor seating under the redwoods. Love this place! read more

We were convinced to come here from some of the reviews...and were glad we did! The ambience is very welcoming and the staff was very sweet. The ice cream is SO yummy! Only downside was that there wasn't many flavors to choose from, but on the flip side of that the ones they do have are a solid few flavors. We got the caramel apple pie and espresso! Will and would come back. read more

Terrible environment. The customer service is way below par, and the ice cream is NOT worth the prices. Go to Mags.

Great ambiance, good for kids, tasty ice cream. Sweet local spot. The owners take good care of it

Reminds me of scooping ice cream during the summers in high school. Cozy, sticky, creamy. What else do you need? Flavors are on point. Price is great as is the service (especially as it's high school kids!)! read more

High end place $ that doesn't want to give high end service. Food is decent but about to boycott. read more

I got food poisoning and was hospitalized after consuming this cheap overly priced ice cream. Workers were very kind but something about the manufacturing company of the ice cream needs to change. I have not gone back since because I prefer not to get sick especially from pricy bland ice cream. not a pleasant experience and my friend claimed to feel sick after going as well read more

the shack. is the best ice cream spot around! The owners have put so much love and thought into creating this place. The selection is fantastic, with something for everyone, including vegan options. You can customize your treats with a variety of toppings, and their milkshakes are delicious. Plus, the homemade waffle cones are a great touch. You can really feel the care and effort in every detail. Next time you're at Perry's, make sure to check out the shack. for a treat. It's a locally owned gem! read more

Got a milk shake that was 90% milk and very little ice cream, came out with such a watery consistency. The wife got a scoop of mint and chip in a waffle cone. The cone was undercooked and the ice cream was nothing special. The staff was nice enough to remake the shake for me and it was much better the second time around read more

The cutest ice cream shop! Just what the neighborhood needed. Amazing quality and the service is superb. Highly recommended.

I am so happy this ice cream shop is in the community now. It is so cute and the ice cream is delicious! Servers are friendly and my family loves it. The mini scoop is my favorite size both for me and the kids! And it is so affordable. read more

Glad I finally discovered this place. The strawberry ice cream is out of this world!!!

The ice-cream here is the best, I have been to many icecream parlors, but this is one is the best by a landslide. The workers here were very nice, and had a nice atmosphere. read more

the double cone was supposed to have 2 scoops but it only had 1 and was even less than the one scoop size. They mixed up the toppings and were not very friendly and ignored our request for samples read more

Solid ice cream place with good ordering system- reasonably priced for where it's located

I have been unsure about leaving this review because I know this place just opened, but I think I need to address it. I came by the shop on 5/31 at 8:32, as me and my friend walked in there was a little league baseball team getting ice cream. Immediately the kids started saying that they were closed and I turned to the teens working behind the counter and I asked "is that true are you closed?" And a boy looked at me and very nastily said "yes. We closed two minutes ago." I apologized and started to walk out, then turned back to let them know that on Apple Maps it says they're open until 9, the intention was to let them know so they could fix it. He then raised his voice said "Well that's not us so goodbye." We turn towards the door and then we were yelled at by the workers to "close the door" multiple times. Even though there were little kids walking in and out of the store. So I turned around and closed it, obviously I'm really appalled at being treated that way. I totally understand being stressed working a food service job, and I understand the process of closing a store. But to be nasty like that is definitely an incentive to not come back. It seems like they need an adult around, and also: it stills says the hours are 1-9 mon-sat on Apple Maps. read more
