Okay, the hype is actually real. This place easily takes the title for the best ice cream in the US. We showed up on a Sunday night and ended up waiting for a solid hour, so definitely come prepared for long lines! But honestly, the way they do things makes it worth it. They actually let you sample every single flavor before you commit to a scoop, which is such a game-changer. We ended up going with the chocolate and chocolate chip butter cookies, it was incredibly rich and hit the spot. We also tried the Nutella bread pudding, and the flavor was just amazing. A few heads-up: * Parking: It's virtually non-existent, so give yourself some extra time to circle the block. * Service: The owner and the staff are super friendly and welcoming, even with the crowd. If you're in San Diego, you have to try this spot at least once. Just bring a friend and some patience for the wait! read more

An's Dry Cleaning - By the pint - Gelato Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

Let me start by saying the gelato here is amazing. They give you a world tour of every flavor on the menu for that month. And they're always rich, tasty, unique, and delicious! Ever since the word got out, the line is usually wrapped around the corner. Pair this with the tasting sessions, and you could be waiting upwards of an hour for your gelato. That was the case with me and my unnamed partner this past Sunday at 4 o clock in the evening. A nice worker named Jae was kind enough to give out samples to those waiting in line, which I thought was a nice touch! And the workers are very knowledgable about the flavors and how they are produced. Is the gelato so good that it's worth the possible hour long wait? Maybe to some. If you aren't booked or pressed for time, I'd say give this a shot! My favorite flavor of the month is the illustrious Canvas, which was Olive Oil and Rosemary flavored, with an optional sprinkling of Black Sea Salt. The building has props that feel like a dry cleaning business, which is cute. All in all, a good experience, but dress accordingly if you decide to wait. read more

An's Dry Cleaning - Gelato Near Me - San Diego, California

TLDR: It's another An's experience that I think is worth having. I'm glad that they keep the flavors different per location, and I'm excited to try all locations. Motherboard: Chocolate, peanut butter, honey, and condensed milk. You'd expect it to be a sugar bomb, but I'm glad that that wasn't the case. I feel that there is a good balance when it comes to the bitterness of the chocolate and the sweetness of the other ingredients added. I like how the quality of the ice cream didn't go down throughout the drive back to OC. Ambiance: An's stores are always a vibe. You don't just go and buy ice cream. You go there to take everything in, and that's even before you get to the ice cream. The location isn't very sexy, but the line will be long enough that you will feel safe in case something happens. Service: I only got the pint, so I didn't get the "full" experience, but based on those who fell in line to taste it all, it's not different from their other locations, and it's gonna be magical to people experiencing it for the first time, and a pleasure to those coming back for more. read more

Late night sweet craving, Satisfied! Cute shop with a fun vintage dry-cleaning atmosphere. We came around 10:30 PM and the line was already stretched down the alley. Everyone was fun, friendly, and energetic. They even came outside to offer samples which made choosing a flavor even easier. They offer rotating flavors, all unique and creative. My favorite was the "Leather" flavor, chocolate chip cookies and brown butter, absolutely delicious! If you're visiting San Diego, definitely add An's Dry Cleaning to your dessert list. read more

An's really lives up to its reputation as the #1 ice cream shop in the nation. We had a different gelato the night before that was really good, but An's beat that too. First, I love the interior design that maintains the dry cleaner theme so creatively. It's both quaint and charming. Though there's a long line, it's worth the wait because of the wonderful service they provide you. You are given an experience when it's your turn. First, they have you started with a palate cleanser (ginger, lemon, honey) - so refreshing! Then, they have you try each gourmet flavor. Each flavor is unique and they swap them out every month. Though we were feeling gluttonous and wanted to get absolutely everything, we practiced self restraint and landed on four flavors: 1. Strawberry, jasmine, mochi 2. Honey, lavender, oat, white chocolate 3. Brown butter and chocolate chip cookies 4. Goat cheese, apricot, and saffron Everything was so good texture and flavor wise, and I already can't wait to go back to SD next month just to try new flavors! My wish: that they'd sell and deliver online to all parts of CA. Feels too far from LA and too good to stay local. read more

North Park just keeps delivering--this spot is officially a new favorite. Tried a few standout flavors and every single one hit: Vicuna Wool (goat cheese + saffron + apricot) -- sounds wild, but it works. Creamy with a slight tang from the goat cheese, floral notes from the saffron, and just the right sweetness from the apricot to balance it all out. Shibori (strawberry + jasmine + mochi) -- bright and refreshing. The jasmine is subtle and the mochi adds a chewy texture that makes it fun. Kasuri (panda + matcha) -- must try. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. Yes, the line was long--but worth it. You're greeted right away and they let you sample all the flavors, which makes the whole experience even better. If you're in North Park and want something beyond the usual, this place is it. read more

If you haven't heard of this place, it's worth the trip to North Park to grab a scoop. I stopped in on a Thursday around 5 PM and was in and out in under 5 minutes, but by 7 PM, the line was out the door. Inside was a little small, but smartly decorated with little ironing boards on the wall to go with the theme. I noticed most folks eat at the tables right outside the shop, it was a really nice day, so we did the same. The staff is warm and genuinely enthusiastic, offering samples of every flavor without hesitation. That generosity is probably what keeps the line moving slowly, but honestly, I don't blame anyone for taking their time, the flavors rotate frequently and you'll want to try before you commit. I went with the Leather, chocolate chip cookies and brown butter. The crispy brown butter bits were the star of the show, adding this incredible texture and depth that you just don't expect from gelato. It was rich without being heavy. I was told the menu is constantly evolving, so no two visits are quite the same. Pro tip: Go early on a weekday if you want a quick in-and-out, and always sample the flavors , they earn that extra time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Long line but I thought it was worth it! They encourage you to sample all of the flavors on the rotating menu which causes the line to move on the slower end. The service is really fantastic though and you can tell they're really proud of the unique flavor combinations. After sampling all of the 7 flavors, I went with the termeh (saffron, pistachio, vanilla) and leather (chocolate chip cookies, brown butter). I got the short size (smallest) and felt like it was quite hefty and a very generous portion. The flavors here are unique and delicious, I'd come back again! read more

Honestly this was just ok. I saw a lot of good reviews and we were close by for dinner, so we decided to try it. The consensus in our group was that of wasn't worth the long wait we had, it took us about 40 minutes at least. Parking here is tough, so plan ahead and hope you get lucky. The line wrapped around the building, so i did appreciate them bringing around multiple samples for us to try some we waited. Also as soon as you get up to the counter they have you sample all of the flavors so you can choose what you want. I did a cone with Leather and Coppola. Leather was a brown butter flavor with chocolate chip cookie pieces of their in house made cookies. The Coppola also had the same cookies, but also add Nutella. When i tried the samples in small tastings it tasted good, but once i got a cone full it was just too much... of everything. I couldn't finish it unfortunately because it was just too rich and sweet. I think i should have balanced it out and not gotten 2 cookie flavors. I will say the cone itselfwas amazing, and one of the better ones ive had. It definitely tasted. Like it was made in house. If you like gelato they definitely have some interesting flavors, and the rotate them periodically, so I'd say check them out to see if you think it lives up to the hype and you don't mind the line. For me i just don't think it was worth that long wait, so not sure id go again, unless the line were very short. read more

Honestly, the experience at An's Dry Cleaning Ice Cream was surprisingly good. I never understood why people still crave ice cream during cold weather... until I tried this place. You don't have to try every flavor, but tasting them one by one was actually fun. Even the goat milk flavor gave me such a unique and hard-to-describe feeling though besides that one, almost every flavor was delicious. I even ended up buying two boxes to take home. The only downside was waiting in line for over 30 minutes... read more

An's Dry Cleaning - Gelato Near Me - San Diego, California

Overview: busy even on a Monday afternoon (3pm!), unique flavors, great gelato, fun experience ---- Pricing is pretty similar to other gelato places. There's also a 7.5% tax charge even with cash. Pricing Sizes: - short $6.65 (after tax $7.15) - tall $7.75 (after tax $8.33) - XL (pint) $13.50 (after tax $14.51) - w/ Starch (with waffle cone) $8.45 (after tax $9.08) I ordered a tall which is supposed to be 5 ounces. ---- Flavors change every 2 weeks, which keeps this place fresh and interesting. Flavors as if 3/16/2026: - L.E.D. (vegan) - guava, pineapple, passion fruit, and blood orange + Meyer lemon jam - Termeh - saffron, pistachio, vanilla - Vicuna Wool - goat cheese, apricot, saffron - Leather - chocolate chip cookies and brown butter - Léine - Irish cream liqueur, cold brew, coffee ganache - Kilt - coffee, Irish whiskey, vanilla shortbread - Matelassé (vegan) - chocolate and mint ---- My favorite flavors were Termeh (saffron, pistachio, vanilla) and Leather (brown butter and chocolate chip cookie). I loveee the bits of pistachio in the Termeh, while the chunks weren't big as the actual nuts, the amount was frequent so that you have a taste in each and every bite. Leather was an underdog for me and the most I think about it, was the real star of the show. I thought it was going to be the most basic tasting one, but the nuttiness of the browned butter really comes through. I expected all of the flavors to be good, but this one was the most impactful, surprisingly. Honorable mention L.E.D. which was a punch to your mouth with guava flavor. I wasn't able to distinguish the other flavors they had listed (guava, pineapple, passion fruit, and blood orange + Meyer lemon jam) aside from the dominance of the guava taste, but I like guava, so if you like guava it's very guava-y. ---- It took 13 minutes to get my gelato from the time I walked inside the shop to having the gelato in my hand. There was a line of 10 or more people (some grouped together), and each one had to go through their "flavor tour" which was pretty thorough. Having to go through the script of what to say for each flavor is very repetitive so thank you to the hard workers for having to explain it in the same way every single time, to every customer, I appreciate you guys. Jay conducted a "flavor tour" and provided samples of each flavor that they had, starting with a palate cleanser that was light and a bit citrusy. Then they moved from right to left on their menu. The little spoonful they give is surprisingly enough to be able to taste the depth of flavor for what they offer. That was my determining factor of which were standouts to me. While I love their variety of flavors, with there being 7 available, I thought that Léine and Kilt were a bit too similar. Both were coffee-based with an alcoholic infusion. Léine is made up of baileys (Irish cream liqueur), cold brew, coffee ganache and Kilt being coffee, Irish whiskey, vanilla shortbread. The difference between the two is the coffee ganache (white chocolate and coffee) and vanilla shortbread, which aren't strong enough flavors to distinguish between the two (at least on the little spoon I had of each). So to me, they were both just fundamentally coffee flavored gelatos, which I think could have replaced with a different flavor. Nit-pickiness aside, I fully understand the amount of time, effort, and energy it takes to put into flavor creation and testing so I am in awe and completely appreciate An's for having the capacity to have a rotating flavor menu every 2 weeks. ---- The theme of the shop is a dry cleaners with their flavors named after different fabrics which is a cute concept. The decor matches cohesively with "ironing table" tables and their merch hung up on clothes hangers. The space inside is quite small to stand around and sit in bc there's always a line of people, but they have a few outside seats if you're lucky enough to grab one. Parking is also pretty tough, with street parking available but luckily I snagged a 15 min parking spot near the shop. ---- Overall: it was a great first experience, hard to find parking, a little bit of a wait to order but worth it for their flavorful gelatos. My recs are Termeh and Leather (check them out if they ever have those flavors again in rotation)! read more

You know a place is hyped when the line wraps around the corner all the way into the alley! One hour later, we finally made it to the front. To their credit, the experience seems intentional: every guest gets samples, and a worker patiently walks you through each flavor like it's a mini tasting. It adds to the anticipation (and maybe helps justify that wait a little.) One of my favorites is the Palate Cleanser (ginger lime sorbet.) It's refreshing and bright! Flavors do rotate through the menu, so there's always something new to try. That said, this is not your casual gelato run spot. Seating is limited, and between the long wait and the whole tasting process, it's more of a commitment than a quick dessert stop. Verdict: If you've got time to kill and a solid dose of patience, it's a fun experience to check out at least once! read more

The flavor tour is perfect for an indecisive girl like me; I always feel rude asking for multiple samples but An's makes it the norm! Of course, that combined with their recent fame may contribute to the long lines... still worth tho! Lines are less long on weekdays; I've seen it (or the lack thereof) while grabbing coffee at Little While or Nomade! What a perfect little block - if you can find parking. read more

For the love of ice cream, we waited 45 minutes in the cold night air for our turn to sample and order some of An's sweet creations. There were sone really cool and unique flavors, which made it particularly hard to decide. I ultimately chose a half scoop of the Purple Foulard and Broken Heart Brocade. The 2 flavors went well together. The only place to sit inside the shop was an L-shaped bench where we temporarily perched on as we shifted closer to the ice cream counter. Once we got our ice cream, we managed to snag one of the mini ironing board "tables." It was standing room only, but we didn't mind. There were a few small tables in front of the shop, but honestly it was too crowded to even consider sitting there. I don't know what kind of happy pills the employees were on, but they were all incredibly upbeat, playful, and energetic. I suppose if I got to eat free ice cream from working there, I'd be happy too! read more

Idk why we have never been here when we are in SD quite often! The shop is very quirky and cute. Laundry mat turned ice cream shop and they kept the original name. Very creative! We stood in line on a Fri night for about 40-45 mins but it was definitely worth it. They only have about 5 flavors that change at a time and during our visit the flavors I liked best were the tres leches one and the one with brown butter. Their cones are sooo good! I got it on the side and ate the whole thing like a cookie lol sorbet flavors were too sweet for me but if you like really sweet things... you will like it. A great bonus (esp for my husband) is that everything is gluten free! Even the waffle cones. Staff are so so nice and u can tell they're being genuinely nice too. Super friendly and easy to talk to. They let us try every flavor! We will definitely be back when we're in the area again. read more

We found some metered street parking just across the street on a quiet afternoon in the middle of the week. The aesthetic of the shop was pretty cute. Instagram definitely tricked me into thinking this place would look more like a dry cleaner, but it was still cute. I loved all the bright colors and themed flavors! The shop was also very clean to the point where I saw one of the staff members wiping down the tables outside as well. The staff here were incredibly kind! I'm not sure if they always do this, but the person who helped us gave us a little tour of the flavors. She explained each flavor thoroughly and let us try each one before we made our final decisions. Although not all the flavors agreed with my palate, I appreciate the thought put into each one. She even said we were allowed to get two flavors, so I picked "Brocade" and "Leather" because I thought they would pair well together. I was right because they tasted great together! I also loved the gelato texture. It was really smooth and fun to eat. I ended up getting myself a pin as well, but they also sell shirts and sweaters that you can see hanging behind the glass. Overall, I think this shop is great! It's a bit far from where I live, but if I'm ever in SD again, then I would definitely come back~ read more

I came on a Sunday night and the line was down the block. I didn't realize it would end up taking more than an hour. I watched the sun set in the line! Once I got to the front I understood why. It's because they do a tasting "tour" so you try all of the flavors before making a decision. Genius marketing to get people to buy more but wow I was impatient and I did not care for the tour. I ended up getting a mix of lavender and strawberry which was pretty good but I don't think it was good enough to wait an hour in line for. I am unsure what part of the ice cream is so good that makes it so famous but even though I didn't get the hype at least I tried something new in San Diego. There was only street parking available and limited seating read more

An's Dry Cleaning was the last stop for me on my San Diego trip. Just had to try it for myself since they are voted #1 gelato shop in America. The line was outside the store but it wasn't too bad when I arrived at 8:40pm on a Thursday. Parking is horrendous though! Very difficult to find street parking but eventually I lucked out and was able to get a spot right outside the shop. I waited for a good 35 minutes in line. The reason why it took so long was because staff is really friendly and encourages everyone to try all their different flavors. Once I got out of the shop, the line then wrapped around the building. I liked the flavor of L.E.D. It was very guava forward but I don't think it was worth waiting in line for. The texture of this was more of sherbet. I describe it as a whipped icy texture. They have small 2 tables out the shop but mostly a grab and go spot. read more

An's Dry Cleaning is a gelato shop located in North Park. That's right, a gelato shop, not an actual dry cleaning service! Who would've thought? An's Dry Cleaning is a nod to the previous establishment which stood the test of time since 1934. A while back, I came across an article rating the top 10 gelato shops in America. An's was voted #1 by USA Today! Pretty impressive! So we tried it! I couldn't have imagined the craze it stirred within our community! I waited over an hour before I got inside the parlor. Overall impression, An's Dry Cleaning lives up to the hype! They serve high quality, small batch gelato that's made from scratch using fresh, local ingredients. The vibe is lively. The staff are friendly. However, I wouldn't necessarily agree that the anticipation built by waiting in long lines increases the perceived reward. Don't get me wrong, it's really good gelato, just not worth waiting in line for over an hour. Just my personal opinion! read more

4.5 stars - Love An's Gelato and this location was the first with tribute to the dry cleaner who used to run their biz in the space. They theme all their locations with the greatest attention to detail and work with local businesses for flavors and recipes. Their gelato is delicious and the flavor tour they offer to all customers is an amazing experience to sample every flavor with a palate cleanser to start. (Also why the lines are long but it's a great experience). Quality and service is top notch, on the pricier side, but their portions are generous allowing two flavor selections in most sizes. Came specifically recently for the Paru tea matcha collab and it didn't disappoint. Favorites were the Gomazuri with matcha and black sesame (the black sesame bits were a nice texture and flavor) and the Kasuri with matcha and Pandan. They do pints too which you can skip the line to order online and pickup. Street parking in the neighborhood can be tough. Theres a paid lot near Polite Provisions as well but it's small. read more

After having An's for the first time last month, I knew I had to come back when I heard they were releasing limited matcha flavors in a collab with Paru! I got the Pistachio Matcha and Lavender Matcha in the waffle cone and they were both so good! I loved that in the Pistachio Matcha, the matcha flavor really came through and you also get the nuttiness from the bits of pistachio to bring out the flavor. The matcha flavor in the Lavender Matcha was a little more understated in my opinion, but still so yummy and I just love the lavender flavor. I believe the waffle cone is gluten free and it almost tasted like a belgian waffle turned into an ice cream cone! It was super yummy but also pretty sweet combined with the ice cream. Service and overall vibe of the store was lovely. It feels like everyone who works here is so warm and welcoming and you can tell they really understand their flavors read more

What an interesting place! They have just a few flavors that apparently rotate frequently and they have you sample each one as they describe them before you make your choice. It's definitely a gourmet ice cream. I had brown sugar with chocolate chip cookie and also some type of chocolate ice cream. I forget everything that was in it and both were excellent, but very rich. For me, this is a type of place that I would try once but probably wouldn't go back each time. I'm in town because I tend to prefer a bit more of the plain type of ice cream not all of the fancy stuff like this. But, the quality was excellent and I'm glad I tried it. read more

Not worth waiting 1.5 hours. They should have a tasting station instead of having everyone in the group be given a tasting of all the flavors, no wonder there's a line. I bet you the lines wouldn't exist if they took away the tasting. The flavors were different but not all that different compared to other ice cream shops. The flavors were bold and overpowering - it's as if they just combined flavors to serif they stuck. Too rich and sweet. read more

Goat cheese & apricot for the win! In light of my belly, I normally only get the smallest size ice cream available at any ice cream shop I visit, but this flavor was so scrumptious I had to splurge by sizing up. I stand corrected (and was corrected) that theirs is actually gelato, not ice cream. I almost feel like shouting from the rooftops something similar to that old commerical for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, "I can't believe it's not ice cream!" So why the -1? While I'm grateful for what partly makes this place as awesome as it is: their handing you free samples of all their flavors, their others flavors were just underwhelming to me this time, which was part of the reason I couldn't decide on a second flavor, unexpected for sure. The other reason is that once again, parking's a beach in this area. We always gotta park at least a block or so away, but it's worth it and good to burn off those calories in real-time anyways. My wife had to drop me off while she circled the area several times before she could find a spot and join me. I understand this is not directly the fault of the establishment itself, but does contribute to the experience I guess hah. Hey access is important! read more

I've been to two of An's locations, the Athletic Field Service, their Petco Park spot, and, of course, An's Dry Cleaning, which has become my "home" location. If you haven't seen it, the name makes sense once you walk inside. It's like the dry cleaners just transformed into a gelato/ice cream shop. One of the coolest parts of visiting is the flavor tour, which is a unique experience that lets you try a variety of options before committing. This time, I went with the Straw Hat and their palate cleanser: a ginger and lime sorbet that tastes a bit like a Moscow Mule. I also considered the Leather flavor, but I just wasn't feeling it this visit. The sorbet was an excellent choice if you're looking for something lighter and refreshing. It's definitely worth trying. Yes, the lines can be long, but it's part of the experience and worth the wait. Now I'm just hoping they bring back Cotton, that's still my front-runner so far! read more

suchh an interesting little gelato shop themed as a dry cleaners! the line under at 10pm on a weekday was crazy long but were definitely glad we stuck it out. a worker cane out and gave us samples! we started w a palate cleanser with lime and ginger? which was insane but not terrible (i hate ginger) but my friends oddly liked it haha. he then gave us a sample of their tongue pop, which was mango, rasberry, and lemon i believe, which was nice and refreshing! once we got inside it was really cute how detail oriented everything is. the workers serving us are still upbeat and commited to the bit which was really fun and cute. you finish your "journey" and they give you a sample for every flavor they currently offer and give you a little spiel abt each of them. i was very happy when the guy offered "more ice cream or more cookie" for mine since i loveee texture in my ice cream. definitely a small gesture that i think represents their customer service haha. i loved pretty much all the flavors, even those that i didnt think i wouldnt, like the goat cheese one. would definitely come back for the amazing service and great quality gelato!! read more

The smile that cracks on my face after hearing "Would you like to try the flavor tour" is immeasurable in length and depth. This is the greatest gelato experience. The shame and guilt of wanting to try flavors no longer chains me. I am freed and free to try anything and everything. I don't know what kind of wizard is in the back creating these mystical and fantastical creations but they deserve to be categorized among the greats: Merlin, Ambrose, Gandalf, Dumbledore.

Hands down the best ice cream I've ever had. I'll admit, at first I was a little annoyed watching people take so long to order, but once it was our turn, I completely understood why. They do a full presentation and let you try flavors, which turns it into such a fun experience. We got really lucky and only waited about 20 minutes total. Every flavor we tried was incredible. James was fantastic, and the rest of the staff were just as great. Friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. Can't recommend it enough. My favorite was No Signal and Santa's hat. read more
