It smells sweet
Stephanie T.

I'm only giving this place 4/5 stars because of their hours. I just learned that this shop in Jack London Square serves coffee, but it opens at 12pm 7 days a week. So when I'm in the area and its 7am, I cannot find a nearby place that sells coffee. Yes, there's buttercup around the corner, but sometimes I just want to walk downstairs, grab some coffee only and go. It's warm today. It's a beautiful day in Oakland today. The sun is shining and it's getting warm. As I'm walking, I smell something sweet like dessert. Sweet like the county fair. Next thing you know, I want ice cream, something of a Pistachio flavor. I see Ben & Jerry's sign as I'm leaving the gallery and I see i have time to grab some ice cream before I head out. She's making waffle cones, that's why is smells so sweet outside the front door. Menu items: What?! No pistachio. Awwww what to do, what to do? after studying the menu I see they offer alot at this corner shop. I opted for a smoothie. A pineapple/strawberry with a lemonade base. Not bad. It's satisfying, it's cooling me down. $11. Oh Sh!t, GotDamn. Well that's the Bay area for you. Everything is a few dollars more here. S-O-C-K-S. It is, what it is. See what i did right there? LOL Next time I stop by, I'll get a real dessert like a frozen bannana or a sundae on Sunday Funday. See you some more on Yelp 2026.

This was delicious. Open late. Fast service. Perfect during a calm night out. If I'm ever at Jack London square again. Must have.

Free scoop of the Half Baked on a sugar cone
Min C.

This is review for their Free Scoop Day 2025. Quite impressed as it is one of the best "free" days organized by any organization that I attended, especially by a decently large company. They had a set menu so it limited the options and the line moved quite fast compared to what it seemed like (from the corner to receiving my scoop took 17 minutes total). My scoop was generous and I enjoyed the staff's recommendation for a flavor (Half Baked over Marshmallow Days). It was a pleasant day indeed - I will be back for a (likely not free) scoop to enjoy the waterfront :) P.S. kudos to you Jerry...

We stopped by this corner shop at Jack London Square. There were a lot of flavors & menu items to choose from. They even offer coffee drinks. The place is small & narrow, but bright from all the windows. There are 2 small tables that seat 2 or 4 & some small benches just inside & outside one of the doors. Two freezers held cakes & prepackaged ice cream. The shop was generally clean, & I saw a worker wiping & dusting, but our table still had some ice cream drips that I cleaned up. The noise level was quite loud from an oscillating stand fan & trains that sound their horns as they rumble & pass by directly outside. Customer service was friendly & helpful once workers appeared from the back. We asked for a sample & were given the tiniest taste that didn't include any of the flavor's mix-ins. We ordered a scoop of "Marshmallow Sky" in a cup & a "Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz!" milkshake with whipped cream. I like that the sample & eating spoons were wooden. I appreciated that the ice cream for the shake was weighed & that the consistency was thick, but still instantly drinkable. Both items happily satisfied our sweets cravings.

Super fun to enjoy free cone day at this Ben and Jerry's! The line was only maybe like 20 or 30 minutes. Super nice to enjoy this right along the water. There aren't that many ice cream shops in the area so I appreciate having this location around!

Mango, ultra violet, and vanilla

Staff were very patient and friendly they let me take my time to decide what I wanted to get and then the ice cream itself was amazing

Half baked!
Mike L.

Went here after dinner at Plank. Tried the half baked flavor for the first time. Pleasant surprise. Chocolate ice cream with brownies mixed with vanilla ice cream with cookie dough! 9/10

Free scoop day is the best! Fast service with a smile. I just saw them serve over 30 kids from the local elementary school super fast.

I had dreamed about my son's 1st birthday more than 10 years before he was even born. I thought I…read morehad the theme and all the little details perfectly planned... but then I discovered Itty Bitty Pâtisserie and everything changed. Sadaf is beyond talented -- her creations are not only stunning works of art, but they taste absolutely delicious too. On top of that, she is one of the kindest, most genuine people you'll ever meet, which makes the whole experience even more special. My son's birthday theme may change every year, but one thing I know for sure is that Sadaf will be the one making his cakes. She made our very first milestone celebration unforgettable, and I'm so grateful I found her.

I inquired a cake for my son's first birthday party and Sadaf really nailed it! She was easy to…read morework with and really listened to my ideas. On top of that she provided me sketches of the design for approval which gave me a piece of mind. The cake was really a stand out and fit so well with the party theme. I asked for a two tier cake with 2 different flavors and it was delicious! I also ordered another vegan cake for my son's smash cake since he had multiple food allergies and he loved it! She was very accommodating and assured me that the cake is free of the ingredients that my son is allergic to. I'm definitely a happy customer and will come back for future inquiries.
