    Organic soft serve dipped in tcho chocolate. Best soft serve in the Bay Area.
    Susan S.

    My favorite ice cream in the Bay Area! I read a (thankfully wrong) comment on reddit that Twirl and Dip had closed and have been mourning it for a few months. So I was extra excited to spot the twirl and dip truck outside tunneltops playground at the presidio on a Saturday afternoon! Same amazing ice cream made of the most quality local ingredients--organic milk, tcho chocolate and Mitchell's ice cream if you choose hard serve. We always get tcho chocolate-dipped twist cones. The best in the world. And they're huge! Not sure how they have kept their prices down $5 a cone, $2 extra for dip. Meanwhile, I paid $5 each for run-of-the-mill ice cream sandwiches from an ice cream cart for my daughters at Golden Gate Park recently.

    The dude and I came to Twirl and Dip at San Francisco Golden Gate Park on 11/11/23. We stumbled upon this absolutely delicious ice cream spot by accident. There was a long line but it makes sense as the ice cream is out of this world. We waited about 45 minutes. We liked the vintage style of the ice cream truck and the dude inside was slaying it ALL by themself! So impressive. I got the honey comb ice cream which was delicious and the dude got something similar as well. My mouth waters for this sooooo tasty and delicious. You have to try it. They ran out of fudge but only that dip chocolate which was good but made it a little challenging to eat as the chocolate immediately froze . It was like I was fighting with my ice cream with honey comb pieces dancing around it. But once I got the groove of it . It was well. Overall, if in the San Frann area you must give this place a try and make sure to leave a tip as this place hands down is probably one of the tastiest treats!

    Really delicious soft serve. I'm so glad I got it! It's a little pricey ($6 for soft serve, $2 for dip, $.50 for sprinkles) but very tasty. Enough ice cream to share!

    I ordered the V&C Twirl. It was a happy surprise tasting vanilla bean. Also great was getting an appropriate serving size for the price. There was an extremely nice server doing his best to keep up with the long lines on a nice summer day in Cali.

    Vanilla cone with Chocolate dip
    Farhana M.

    Started the new year off visiting golden gate park, and definitely had to visit the Twirl and Dip truck! I got a vanilla cone (the non-waffle cone option) with chocolate dip and the total was $8. I really enjoyed the chocolate, its so soft when you bite it. It doesnt snap off and fall to the ground like regular dips. The vanilla soft serve has vanilla specks in it! Super tasty The wait is very long though... think we waited an hour on line. My partner was getting very impatient, while i was fine with waiting. So it's up to you and your patience on whether you think this ice cream is worth it or not.

    Ice cream truck in Golden Gate Park. A nice afternoon snack. Not my favorite ice cream ever, but it's what was available, and it hit the spot. Long line, but moved reasonably fast. Nice guy.

    I was excited to find this truck in the Golden Gate Park on a warm day. There is not many soft serve options in the Bay Area so definitely a good option! A bit pricy for a cone but lots of toppings to choose from

    Found the truck in Golden Gate Park behind the bandstand. Great place to get an ice cream and enjoy a nice day. I got the vanilla soft serve on a regular cone with the signature chocolate dip. Definitely wait until the dip hardens before eating to appreciate the chocolate thickness. Everything tasted good. Would definitely get it again though the $7 price seems a little extreme. But I guess that is the price of doing business in San Francisco. Thank you for the extra napkins though. Payment is cash or Venmo only.

    We stumbled upon this truck when it was parked behind the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park. It was a sunny day, so there was a bit of a line, but it was soo worth the wait. The soft serve (we got vanilla and chocolate) was delicious, the waffle cone tasted fresh, and they were generous with toppings.

    Twist soft serve, dipped in chocolate,  topped with Almonds
    Mari B.

    I was heading to the museum when I came upon the food trucks and I had to try rhe soft serve. I like the options available llike chocolate and vanilla soft serve or twist (swirl) mix of both flavors. There are different topping options like sprikles, chocolate chips (homemade), almonds, and you can dip and add a cone if you choose so. There is also ice cream available if you prefer ice cream vs. Soft serve. They had coffee and strawberry. Both were very flavorful as well. The strawberry wws our favorite! The menu is a little confusing and unclear because it was written in chalk on the outside of the truck and was fadding/rubbed off in certain spots. I would recommend they find a better way to deliver menu options. Definitely give them a try if you are an ice cream or soft serve fan!

    Vanilla dipped cone with a side of fog

    Was craving froyo the other day and found out that this truck is in front of the Academy of Sciences! On what started out as a warm day, I was excited to take a walk and get some froyo. As luck would have it, as soon as we stepped outside the fog had rolled in and the line was moving super slowly for froyo. But the cold and the long wait would not prevent me from fulfilling my craving! By the time I got my froyo the fog was so thick I could barely see the ferris wheel. I got a classic vanilla dipped cone and the TCHO chocolate was pretty thick. I expected a thin shell but it was legit fancy chocolate. My boyfriend got a vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles and I swear the kid before us got more sprinkles than us lol. Just because he doesn't look like a kid doesn't mean he love sprinkles like one . Overall it is a little pricey but the ingredients are quality and my craving was fulfilled!

    Nice little set-up behind the bandshell. Not a huge selection but high quality. They could use 2 people working though. The line was slow despite the kids hustle. Grab a cone and go enjoy some free entertainment!

    SPARK Social SF is one of those places we end up at again and again, usually without overplanning…read moreit. It just works. Open air, a mix of food trucks, people hanging out, dogs everywhere, and that easy San Francisco energy where you can show up however you are and it fits. It never feels like a production, just a good place to land. We have eaten our way through a decent chunk of the trucks at this point, and that is half the fun. One day it is something messy and indulgent, the next it is lighter, but it always hits. Grabbing a drink, finding a spot at the picnic tables, and slowly settling in as the place fills up is kind of the rhythm. It is social without being overwhelming, lively without being chaotic. What keeps us coming back is how consistent it feels in the best way. It is easy, flexible, and always a good time whether you stay for an hour or lose an entire afternoon there. It is the kind of spot that turns into a routine before you even realize it, and honestly, we are not mad about it.

    Spark Social is a great place to host an event. Big ones (company-sponsored), small ones (a group…read moreof friends huddling at a table), really any of them, because they have a couple different set ups that are open for reservations, but they can also accommodate walk-ins with the abundance of seating. Beyond that, the food and drinks are all food truck based. They are all quite good, and there's a wide variety of items. This also means a good variety for folks with different dietary needs, because they are mostly picking their own food. I have always enjoyed my time here, whether it's on company dime or if I'm just hanging out with friends. I do wish that there are more heaters around for the colder days but that's just life in the bay! It can be kind of cold and foggy all seasons here, so if you have a solid group of folks I'd recommend reserving a spot with a fire pit. One more note: parking can be tough. You either have to circle around for street parking, or rideshare here.

    What's better than the ocean/beach and tacos?!?…read more I've been a super fan of Leo's tacos since my LA days, and when Leo brought one of his food trucks up to the Bay Area, it was inevitable that I would try out the tacos! The Leo's taco truck literally is located in San Francisco/Ocean Beach with a view of the Pacific Ocean. Leo's taco trucks are known in Southern California as THE taco truck for reasonably priced street tacos, that are beyond delicious. The experience at the San Francisco/Ocean Beach taco truck was great. For the most part it mirrors the LA experience, which is exactly what I wanted. It's like having a piece of home. Menu prices are nonexistent so there's no way to determine exactly what you're going to be charged. I ordered two Al pastor tacos, and was charged seven dollars which included tax. I really like that they always include a piece of pineapple with the Al Pastor. The tacos were absolutely yummy. The meat was flavorful, but definitely not as juicy as the LA version. Plus, they don't seem to be as generous with meat at this location as they are in LA. The talk of themselves are not the traditional small street tacos, and yet they're smaller than the traditional sized tacos. They do provide bagged condiments that include sauces and radish. I was super hesitant to try them because of some of the other reviews. Tasty tacos, and if you've ever been to Leo's, and you, in this part of the Bay Area, it's definitely worth a stop.

I picked it up and ate it and wow, just wow, so good. I literally called my Mexican friend Angel and told him about this, it was diabolical.
