I was craving sweets so I came across Grater's on Yelp. They have a lot of indoor and outdoor…read moreseating & free parking.

It's up there with Bi-Rite in SF and McConnell's in Santa Barbara. But recently, I am incredibly disappointed because it seems like Graeter's has phenomenal ice cream, but absolutely TERRIBLE milkshakes. The milkshakes at this location are genuinely and confoundingly bad. The consistency of the "shake" is essentially just liquid. No mass or weight, no peaks or solidity. The ratio of milk to ice cream feels like 99:1. Devastating from a renown and respected brand. What a waste to use a fantastic product by basically diluting it down to flavored milk. I now know what NOT to order at one of my favorite chains and find it sad that I've found a gaping hole in the menu.

Great little ice cream shop with excellent choices in flavors…read more Tried the special berry night (think the Vincent van Goh). ;) The blue berry pie as well. So both tastes similar since I think the base is blueberry. But that's what the kiddies wanted. So it was a winner for sure. I like the pie a bit more since it's a tad sweeter and has some pie crust mixed in. Gets busy after school, as alot of folks come in right after pickups. It was completely empty at 2:30. And then completely filled at 2:35. It's nice place to practice your chess game on the tables as well. The moment I walked in, I could only smell the sweet smell of sugar!

I really enjoyed my lunch here and will make it a point to return again.  I've only previously been…read morehere for a Yelp sampling event back in May 2023 and also for ice cream dessert.  Our party of 5, including the 2 kiddos, had a late Friday lunch at 1pm and we were the only customers present.  The daughter has been here with her family several times and the place is usually packed with families for Friday and Saturday dinners, so good for them.  We ordered: - makhani (aka butter chicken), $12 - steamed chicken momo's (dumplings), 8 for $13 - a set of 3 various flavored tacos, $11 - 8" personal cheese pizza, $10 - dessert of 2 scoops of cookie monster ($3.99 each) and a double scoop of coffee atop ferrero rocher ($5.99) I really enjoyed my order of makhani and it was a very good and delicious deal with a lot of chicken and delicious sauce for $12.  The basmati rice serving that came with it was a bit skimpy for the amount of chicken and sauce provided though.  I would return just for that dish but would want to try some other Indian classics also.  Others in the party all enjoyed their dishes as well.  The tacos and pizza were decent deals too, but the 8 momo's were relatively pricey.  They also offer a lot of Michoacana ice cream flavors for dessert or snacks including the unique black sesame flavor that we have come in for in the past. Thumbs up, and I would say a hidden gem of a place, or it's equally possible that I've just been under a rock.

We had tacos -liked the chicken masala taco the best, the chicken tikka was pretty good too, but…read morekorean bbq taco was weird and sauces do not go together. Since masala one was good, we are going to try their masala pizza next time. The popsicles are not overly sweet and may have just pure fruit juice to sweeten only. I like that.

2 words: Fixed Prices!!!…read more I love that they don't charge per topping or by weight. I usually only get 1-2 toppings, but today I got at least 5! They only have 2 sizes - regular and large. I think regular was about $6.75 or something. I tried a few different flavors, but my favorite is usually the tart/original, and that's what I got today. The staff was nice and patient as I tried different flavors and chose my toppings.

If you like my reviews, consider "following" my profile for reviews all across the SF Bay Area . Why "follow" someone? It causes the person you follow's reviews to tier to top when you pull up a business. I find this very handy when researching venues. Rod's Review grading scale explained. Essentially I personally base it on the likelihood of a return visit and I try to be stingy with 5 star reviews since they should be "special" in my eyes. Price/Value also play a role obviously but there are $ and $$$$ littered across my grading scale. 5 stars - "I'll go out of my way" (approx 6 % of my reviews) 4 stars- "If I was in the area I'd go here and would recommend", (approx 38% of my reviews) 3 stars "Maybe if was nearby", (approx 37% of my reviews) 2 stars -"Would likely not return, Only if you want to go", (approx 16% of my reviews) 1 star -"No thanks, even if I was hungry", (approx. 3 % of my reviews)

It was kind of late, but we came in....employees were probably also not expecting many people if anything, because it was snowing too. Although there were quite a few different crowds that came in after my friend and I did. The bingsoo was okay. My friend and I shared a cup since we were still pretty full from dinner. I wish there was a little more to it. Sweet enough to get that "sweet fix" and call it a night. I also ordered the almond milk tea and it was good. It was a nice balance. The menu also has other items to offer like shakes, coffee, ramen, sandwiches, etc.

Super nostalgic, perfectly blended, not too sweet, and really satisfying. The taro was smooth and creamy with a nice authentic flavor, not overly sugary or artificial. The strawberry milkshake was also solid fresh, classic, and refreshing. Cute café vibes, lots of drink options, and a great spot to chill with friends. Definitely coming back to work my way through more of the menu.

It took about five mins to get my drink and I wasn't thrilled with it. Some of that may be on me because I ordered 75% sweet but it was still too overwhelmingly sweet. The salted cheese foam was just a thin layer that didn't hold up or have much flavor. The boba was ok -- and it cost extra. The price for a 16 oz was $4.50 (quite reasonable) but the foam, tapioca, almond milk, no ice (.$50) and flavors added an extra $4. It was ok. I would come back to try some of their bowls or chicken wings. The bingsoo had some pretty good reviews so I would come back for that.
