I cannot say enough good things about this shop! My family and I came upon it during a recent trip…read moreto Larkspur, and we are so glad we did. First off, the customer service is top-notch. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with big smiles and a genuine "welcome" that you just don't find everywhere. The staff was incredibly patient as we sampled flavors, which was much appreciated! What really sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere. It's so much more than just an ice cream shop. They have these awesome kid-oriented art activities that kept my little ones busy and creative, plus free arcade games that brought back some serious nostalgia for the adults. It's the perfect spot to actually relax while the kids have a blast. I have to obviously mention the most important part: the ice cream. It is phenomenal. They've developed their own recipes and you can tell they put a lot of thought into them. The ube is a must try! It's vibrant, earthy, and sweet--hands down the best ube ice cream I've had in the city. And I have to shout out the cookie dough - this isn't your standard grocery store version. The dough chunks are huge and have a unique, homemade taste that pairs perfectly with the base. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot with an amazing vibe and even better treats, this is it. We will definitely be back!

The price at this place is stupid. Just took my daughters here and 3 scoops on cones is $30 and…read morethey have the audacity to charge 2.6% to take cards. Ice cream is fine but mill valley swirl is much better. I think they got new ownership somewhat recently and this is a classic play to just milk the customer base (pun intended). I get that running a small business is hard but this is highway robbery on a product with 90%+ gross margins.

Cute ski decor, a gratis book with the full history of the town by the counter, and an adorable town mural, and importantly a customer bathroom. The place is spotlessly clean. It was empty in the late afternoon I came it, but come during the school year on a nice day and it will be bombarded with local families: a real afterschool hot spot. My medium sized yogurt and berries came to $13, but on reflection, I suppose I'm not surprised that is the going rate for fro-yo in Marin. They offer tiny dixie cups and free water, but I wish they were bigger --it can be a challenge to drink water through a thimble.

Here's what you need to know about Fairfax Scoop:…read more 1) Street parking can be challenging, especially early evenings and weekends. Be prepared to hunt for a spot and walk. I suggest looking on Bank Street, Mono Ave and Elsie Lane to start with. Go slowly and watch for people and bicycles. 2) It's a tiny shop and there may be a line. It could be long. Remember, one human can only physically scoop so much ice cream in a minute. The process cannot be rushed. Patience will be rewarded... I promise. 3) Have cash. 4) Their waffle cones and cups are handmade, so the crunchiness or chewyness may vary. Some may be more crunchy or or chewy than others. For me, I thought the flavor of the cone was awesome! 5) Study the daily ice cream flavor list as you approach the counter. Smile, ask for a waffle cone or cup. They come in kid or regular size. Specify how many scoops you want per cone/cup. 6) Remember, scooping ice cream for hours at a time isn't easy... and Scoop is very, very popular for a reason. Service was good and efficient.

I'd always enjoyed going to the old location. Service was friendly and ambiance was that of a traditional ice cream shop. The ice cream is very creamy, and they offer many popular flavors such as Mint Chocolate Chip and Mango and Raspberry Sorbets.

I cannot believe how delicious this ice cream was!! Came in on a Saturday during lunch hour…read more Supercookies & cream in 3 kids sizes for our boss babies. The wait was a bit longer than anticipated since it was a warm Saturday - reasonable, with just one employee. Though, she was patient (despite the kids not so much, lol). The storefront was a small space, so it was hard to see the ice cream physically even though, there was a menu. Otherwise the ice cream was perfect (yes I ate my kid's ice cream!). It had a perfect smooth ice cream texture with a soft crunch from the cookies. When a bite had a cookie, it was like a blast of flavor, but not overwhelmingly sweet. Enjoyed the bits of cookies versus chunks of cookies. Also, loved how tiny the kids sizes were - size was just right and did not easily melt. In love... cookies & cream will always have my taste buds.. or my kids taste buds lol!

A few items were already sold out, which was a little disappointing, but totally understandable that close to closing. The ice cream was really good. It was super creamy. The matcha flavor was nice and balanced, and the cookie crumble added a good texture. The date shake was also delicious with a natural sweetness. Only downside is that it's a bit pricey, but overall still a solid spot for a treat. It's also in a plaza with a bunch of surrounding restaurants so it's a perfect dessert spot for after dinner.

The original tart was really not tart at all, mostly creamy and did not taste like the tart I am used to. The mango was kind of icy and reminded me of sorbet rather than frozen yogurt.

But there's so much to look at and you can chat with others so it's not so awful. It's very colorful and vibrant inside. There are a few chairs and tables outside, and none inside. They have a rewards program, pre-made ice cream cakes in the fridge for last-minute parties. So many other "flavors" of offering choices, as well. If you've never had this ice cream, it's fun to try.

I don't understand allowing four staff to cater to a single party of incredibly indecisive people, who then wanted banana splits. These are the most time consuming orders to fill. Seeing another 20 minutes before I would get any ice cream, I decided to leave. You give each party one staff, so that you can efficiently work through the line. Literally every modern ice cream place does this now. Hopefully the money the slow people paid was enough to make up for me never coming here again.

The SO is totally in love with the roast turkey and stuffing hash. Given the opportunity, I think he'd eat it every day. (He did have it both days this past weekend.) I was a bit disappointed in the buttermilk-cornmeal griddle cake that came with my Farmers Breakfast. The taste was fine but it was tough. Chewy is just not an adjective I ever want to apply to a pancake. However, they more than redeemed themselves with the BAT Scramble. I'll need to try a few more items on the menu, but that could easily be my "go to" breakfast. Portions were generous. I took my scone home since the scramble and potatoes were more than enough. The SO had great things to say about their chai. The space is bright and airy, and tables are not so close together as to feel like you're part of your neighbor's conversations. If there is any problem with this restaurant it is with the service. As far as we could tell, there was only one server working the entire space - both indoors and out. Although she was very personable and was doing a more than admirable job considering, it was just too much for one person. (Management, take note! She's great, but could do with some assistance.) Comforts has taken the spot of our favorite breakfast spot in Marin.
