Heard about Ellis Creamery through a KQED article. It does a much better job of describing this place much better than I could ever: https://www.kqed.org/arts/13919707/ellis-creamery-filipino-ice-cream-bakery-halo-halo-gas-station-tracy The first obstacle to getting here is finding the darn place. As others mentioned, it's inside the National Gas Station. Going east down Grant Line Road, you'll want to turn right onto Toste Rd and then left into the gas station. I did more U-turns in 5 minutes than I care to say to get here. There are only a handful of parking spots in front, but there's quite a few more in back facing the Carl's Jr. Once you're in the gas station, it's all the way in the back and tucked into southwest corning of the building. Another Yelper mentioned "hidden treasure", but Ellis Creamery needs a pirate's map where X marks the spot. On to the food - I had no idea what to get - but a friendly gentleman staffing the counter helped me through the offerings. I wound up getting a halo-halo and some ensaymadas. Taking the halo-halo description straight from the KQED article - "The treat includes the usual shaved ice, ube ice cream, sweet kidney beans, coconut jelly and condensed milk--but, at Ellis Creamery, it also comes topped with crushed meringue, an ingredient that's used in their other products: Filipino cakes and cookies such as Sans Rivals and Silvanas." I didn't know what the meringue was, but I thought it tasted like powdered graham crackers before reading the description. Halo halo is a meal replacement as it is a 20 oz cup filled to the brim with different goodies. I'm convinced it is what inspired Willy Wonka's craziness. Ensaymadas remind me of Hawaiian rolls except bigger, fluffier, and fresher. I got an oreo and a dulce de leche, but you could throw anything onto that base and it's going to taste good. If you're in or around Tracy, this is a spot definitely worth finding and stopping for. read more
