Wow I hadn't been here in years, it was nice to go back. Setting is in an old apothecary with the counter & stools. Good ice cream with familiar & also some unique flavors. There are some boozy ice cream options too. So it's good for all ages! I had 2 scoops, caramelized honey & butterscotch, yum yum. A classic place for a reason.

There's nothing like an old timey parlor to chill out in. With retro seating and displays, it's so easy to romanticize the day. Even the servers were dressed in bow tie and paper hats, which really fit the aesthetic. Of course, all of it still pales in comparison to the ice cream. The decadent, creamy fudge chocolate with chunks inside tastes absolutely addicting and so indulgent. There's nothing to bring you back to your childhood than holding an almost comical waffle cone and ice cream. The single scoop also looks bigger inside the cone, but that might just be biased. The only issue I had was that the waffle cone was sort of grainy and a tad too salty for my tastes. This place would be PERFECT for a date. I cannot overstate the pure vibes this place has.

A classic YUM! Perfect ice cream spot to stop by after a sunny stroll in Golden Gate Park. Typically not busy, unless you come on a weekend during perfectly picturesque sunshine, weather like we did today. But still, even with a wait, it was worth it! This ice cream bar is quite vintage on the inside, and there is an 'ice cream booze bar' in the back. :-) Unlike your typical ice cream shop, you won't be able to take a look at all the flavors and have sample taste tests. There is a menu of about 10 flavors, and they're all classic.

Went here for a treat. And it's a cute lil retro spot with the counters. The service was pretty nice. We got the Dublin honey drink which is a boozy ice cream thing with like honey/ caramel tasting ice cream which was really good, the beer was alright. We also got a banana split which was really good, the chocolate was really good and rich. Loved the bananas on it and the whipped cream.
