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.

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...

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

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.

Ben & Jerry's ice cream service at Golden Gate Truck Center's employee appreciation event

This review is for catering. I hired Ben & Jerry's Jack London Square for an employee event for about 75 people. I emailed through their website & got a prompt reply and set everything up via email. I think the price was appropriate for one scoop per person & we were able to have 4 flavor options plus there were add-ons for additional scoops or toppings. There is a minimum $$ on the catering but with that many people it was going to be more than the minimum. I already knew their ice cream is first rate! And then the staff was on time & set up quickly and was very courteous to our team. They brought a table for the spoons, napkins, etc., a list of the flavor options and then the B & J ice cream cart. Our team loved it! Thanks to Dora & Raymundo for making it an easy & great experience overall!

I love Ben & Jerry's since I was in High School. Our organization bought stacks of their small cone certificates to give away to kids in the neighborhood and volunteers. There is no expiration date on them. But parents came told me the store no longer honors these certificates. The store has no advice for us what we can do.

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
Derek D.

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

Jocelyn P.

Loveee the cherry garcia and chocolate fudge brownie! My favorite spot here!!!!!! It's a must go!

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

Edison H.

Only came here for the free ice cream scoop day. The line moved fast. The crowds were all happy. Good vibes. See y'all next year!

Chef Smelly's delivered on the one thing that matters most: the food…read more My wife ordered the fried corn, collard greens, mac and cheese, half crab, and blackened shrimp. I had the salmon, fried prawns, mac and cheese, and cabbage. Everything we tried was flavorful, fresh, and cooked with care. The standout items were the blackened shrimp and the crab. The butter sauce covering the crab was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The salmon was cooked exactly the way salmon should be--moist, flaky, and tender. Too many restaurants overcook salmon and dry it out in the center, but Chef Smelly's got it right. The fried prawns paired perfectly with their sweet chili sauce, which was a nice change from the usual tartar sauce. The sides held their own. The mac and cheese was creamy with great texture, and while I won't call it the best I've ever had, it was very good. The cabbage was excellent, but the collard greens were the real surprise. They reminded me of my mother's homemade greens, and that's not a compliment I give lightly. If you're from the South, you know how hard it is to find greens that taste like they came from someone's family kitchen. The service was attentive, friendly, and hospitable throughout the meal. More importantly, the food was consistently good from start to finish. Bottom line: Chef Smelly's is worth the visit. Great flavor, quality ingredients, and food that feels like it was made with pride. We'll definitely be back and would gladly recommend it to others.

It was a little hard to find because the bldg had a sign that says "AU" and not the actual name of the restaurant. We were greeted as soon as we got to the front and were seated right away. The ambiance was nice. The place was clean. We opted to get the hot honey chili prawns for an appetizer and it was pretty good. Hubby got his fried catfish w/ collard greens and yams. I got the fried red snapper w/ the mac n cheese and yams for our main entree. The food came pretty fast and hot. Pretty big servings also which made it ok since they priced each at $31. The fish tasted great, the only problem was they switched our fish. The yams were good and collards were ok. Mac n cheese we didn't really care for. Excellent service and I would say the food was ok. **I ordered the red snapper w/ mac n cheese n yams and my husband ordered catfish w/ collards n yams. I ended up w/ the catfish and he was given the snapper. We were halfway w/ our meal when he said I think u have my catfish. Not saying anything bad about the restaurant, it's just our fish was not with the correct sides and we had it mixed up. ** Both fish were cooked to perfection and tasted great. Just the sides were just ok.

I was so busy during the wedding that I actually didn't get a chance to try the food myself, but afterward I received so many compliments from our guests about how good the tapas were. That alone told me we made the right choice. The delivery was also right on time, and everything arrived still super hot and ready to serve, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, the food was a hit with our guests, and I would definitely recommend Havana Catering for an event.

My team and I have gone to Havana in Walnut Creek multiple times for dinner and we loved the food…read moreso much we used Havana Catering in Martinez to cater for our company event. With only a week's notice, they were able to accommodate our event without any issue. The food came 30 mins early which gave us enough time to prepare the lunch area for 70 people. From the time of order to food drop off, they were super nice, friendly, and accommodating. They helped bring the food up even though we had enough people to do it. All the food were prepped as if we were getting it fresh dining in at the restaurant. Every dish was cooked perfectly and packed tons of flavor. The price was pretty reasonable as well. Hands down, the chimichurri skirt steak was my favorite paired with the sofrito rice and the boniato mash. The plantain crusted cod was really good with the cuban corn saute. We will definitely be using Havana Catering again for our future events!

Not only that, the cajun fries tgat come with it are absolute PERFECTION!!! ‍ I think I paid about $18 for the sandwich and fries after tax. Mama T's is a tiny, hole-in-the-wall spot with just enough room to step inside, place your order, grab a drink, and step back outside to wait for your food at the curb. She sells a variety of things, including turkey burgers, wings, and more, but the fish sandwich is actually what brought me there. Mama T was so sweet, and she was in the kitchen working alongside her son, Terrence, who I believe does most of the cooking. The customer service was absolutely top-tier, and I'll definitely be back! One thing I noticed was how many people walked up and were disappointed to find out that the fish sandwiches had already sold out. I think she needs to create a sign to post when the sandwiches are sold out so that people don't waste their time in line only to find out once they get to the register. Nonetheless we got lucky as we were among the last few people to get one! With that, if I had to give you one tip: GO EARLY! I'd recommend getting there at least an hour or so before closing because those fish sandwiches definitely sell out. Overall, great food, great service, and definitely worth the visit!
