Perfect ice cream shop off the main drag. Great service and flavor options. Very sweet set up. Waffle cone unique flavor and texture.

Considering I do not have a sweet tooth at all, it should be noted that it's pretty impressive for me to give this place 5 stars, but they've earned it! The place has an old-school diner-style atmosphere which feels very 50's -- even the staff wear those pseudo-military style hats that make you think they're about to break into song. The staff are lovely and very capable at turning a simple milkshake into an extraordinary cocktail. If you're looking for vintage SF, tasty ice cream or inventive cocktails, or just a fun experience, this place will fit the bill!

Best ice cream in San Francisco hands down. Their banana split is a thing of dreams. Definitely a must-go spot in the city for ice cream lovers

This is a fantastic ice cream shop that delivers both a wonderful experience and excellent ice cream. The retro atmosphere and high-quality, though not overly exotic, ice cream give it an elevated feel. The staff is friendly, helpful, and clearly takes pride in their work. You'll also appreciate their extensive selection of house-made products, from the ice cream itself to toppings and unique soda blends. Conveniently, they also offer water and a restroom. The main drawback is that street parking can be challenging to find.

Very cute retro vibes with high top chairs and an old timy counter with a bar in the back. Also serving alcoholic shakes.. what's not to love? They have cake by the slice, fresh cookies, and to-go popsicles/vegan ice cream bars in the display case. We got a hot fudge sundae and settled on coffee and peanut butter cookie for the two scoops. Generous portions and a looooot of chocolate. I'll have to come back and try it their hot drinks, shakes and affogato.

Love the old school diner vibe! and some of the drinks with beer and float is very innovative. Wish there’s no options, flavor wise. Wish there’s less sweet options. But overall pretty good.

Took my 11 year old here and he absolutely demolished a waffle cone - I had a delicious slice of pie a la mode - service was excellent and friendly, great staff! The shop is styled like a classic diner, very fun. Prices are totally reasonable. Don’t skip in the fall / winter time, they have hot chocolates and boozy coffees on the go!

The place looks like an old school ice cream shop, from the decoration to the uniforms, pretty fun and well done. The ice creams are really good and they have some nice unique flavors. They offer soda or floats that I haven't tried. If you are looking for an ice cream the place is way better than the chains that you will found around. Update, we really love these place, from the atmosphere to the quality of the ice creams I really recommend stopping there!

A great ice cream spot at ANY time of day. I love the atmosphere quite a bit and enjoyed coming here in the late evening. I tried 3 different flavors and all were delicious! Fudge brownie (maybe the best one), Mint Chip, and Carrot Cake.

I recently visited Ice Cream Bar and was blown away by the cool, vintage ambiance of the place. The decor is very unique and adds to the overall experience. The indoor seating is ample and comfortable, making it a great place to hang out with friends. The staff at Ice Cream Bar is also very kind and welcoming, making you feel right at home. I ordered the Brownie with Ice Cream and opted for the Creme Fraiche and Butterscotch flavors. While the brownie may have been dry, the ice cream was absolutely delicious! Both flavors were rich and creamy, and definitely worth trying. Overall, Ice Cream Bar is a great place to visit for its vintage and cool ambiance, ample indoor seating, friendly staff, and delicious ice cream.

Great ice cream spot with strong old-school diner vibes 🍨. I ordered the coconut milk dark chocolate almond and also sampled the blood orange passionfruit sorbet—both were solid, especially the sorbet. My friends went for the hot fudge sundae and really enjoyed it. Overall, I’d give it a 6.5/10: good flavors, fun atmosphere, but not mind-blowing. I’d definitely come back for a casual treat, especially with my boyfriend.

Love the vibes, decor, and overall atmosphere! The staff were very kind and easy to talk to. I can't say anything about the actual ice cream (didn’t get any), the butterscotch drink is way too sweet. And that's coming from someone with a sweet tooth.

Nice decor that makes you feel like you're having ice cream in the 1960s. However, the ice cream itself is nothing special, too sweet, and the flavors could be improved. For example, the macadamia nut ice cream had only one small piece of macadamia. It would be much tastier with more nuts.

This place gets packed at night and the ambiance is fun with a vintage vibe. Nonetheless I think the ice cream is just fine and the service is not really friendly. The ice cream have a deeper milky taste and are less sweet. I had it with the crumble pie that was delicious

The line moves slower than Mitchell’s even with less people waiting. Kinda ridiculous. Hire more servers or something. Update after trying the ice cream: it’s so bland compared to Mitchell’s and Swensen’s. Plus, they charge more and serve you less. The ice cream is more sugar than it is FLAVOR. Leaves a mild, unpleasant aftertaste. I tried butterscotch, honey, crème fraiche, salted caramel, and milk chocolate. Only the chocolate was tolerable, but again, more sugary than it was chocolatey and started to taste gross after a few bites. Terrible. I don’t know how people recommend this place. They don’t know what they’re missing.

The chocolate malt was runny, and the chocolate ice cream cake wasn’t good. Pricey. On the bright side, the staff were very nice.
