Next time I'll go to the new location. See www.doublerainbow.com for food and ice cream info. Old Location: 860 4th St in San Rafael (Closed). New Location: 850 4th St at Autistry Studios. 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.

The have many suggestions for complete combinations, too. There's always a line--just inside the store...I've yet to see it out the door. 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've been enjoying it in different locations for decades.

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.

It's easy to find and it's located in a plaza so parking is easy. Service is always friendly and helpful. On this particular day I opted for a single scoop sundae (comes with whipped cream, hot fudge, almonds, sprinkles, & a maraschino cherry) which was the perfect amount for me. You can change any of their toppings if you'd like which I ended up doing. Their ice cream is delicious and I appreciate that it's not too sweet. There's some seating outdoors which is where we usually sit when the weather is nice out. Come on by and try this place out if you haven't!

The first time I visited I sampled the old fashioned vanilla, lavender with rose petals and apple strudel. I fell in love with the Apple Strudel and really hope it's available year-round and not seasonal. On my next visit I sampled the cookie batter and it's my second favorite flavor. The shop is small but there are a wide variety of ice cream to choose from. The staff is nice and made me feel welcomed. It's definitely worth the price.

So, it has been a while since we were here, and things have changed - overall, for the better…read more We came at lunch time (about noon) but the place was not at all busy. A few folks outside some inside. This made ordering quick and easy, and the food was prepared quickly; a benefit for us, perhaps not for the business. The place is still attractive and clean, with plenty of tables outside and inside. I did not that, as my last visit, there is no shade really provided for the outside seating, save ONE small umbrella. Ugh - not sure what the issue is, and being it was a sunny day, we opted to sit inside as much as the patio called to us. The inside is nice, too, though, and there is easy access to the soda fountain machine and condiments. There are still self-ordering kiosks, large digital menus, and of course, you can also order through the app (even if standing inside!) or at the counter. We ordered a bit of each - side, main, and dessert! There was a portabella "'Shroom" burger (with a crisp-fried portobello mushroom filled with melted muenster and cheddar cheeses, topped with lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce on a toasted potato bun), cheese fries, a mac 'n' cheese, chicken bites, and a Key lime shake, a special offering! Damn the calories, full taste ahead! The food was indeed prepared quickly and served hot. The Shroom burger was my favorite last time, and for taste and texture this time was also delicious and good. The cheeses inside were melty-gooey, and the mushroom crispy. It was, though, much smaller than I remember - it fit within my hand! A con, against the price, for what is a nice option for veggies or anyone wanting a change in their burger. The chicken bites were smaller than expected in size, more like nuggets, but tasty. The mac 'n' cheese was also tasty, but also a bit small for the price. The fries are always good, and in this case, you need to dig to the bottom early on to scrape some of the melted cheese that dripped down back onto the fries. Very yummy. But the best part was the Key lime shake, a flavor I just love (cheesecake is my favorite iteration of this flavor) but this milkshake satisfied me greatly. A little pricier than their everyday shakes, but how often so you find a unique flavor like this! A win! Overall, a solid 4-stars for food flavor and quality, and also for ambience and environment. Price wise, it was about $40 for two of us, so not a great bargain, but given the economy today I have the same financial shock at other places as well. Still, a nice treat and we left happy.

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!

We got there on a Saturday before opening and sat in the outdoor seating area out front. They open at 9am and opened right on the dot. The lady working there was so kind and offered to turn on the fireplace for us. The inside was super cute and cozy, with a French-inspired café vibe. You grab your own silverware and they also have hot sauce out for anyone to take. There are quite a lot of choices, so it was hard to choose just one. I ordered the ham & cheese crepe ($13) and my friend ordered the apple cinnamon & brown butter crepe ($8). We waited about 8-10 minutes, and both were really delicious! The ham & cheese was warm, savory, and super yummy for a morning breakfast meal. The apple cinnamon & brown butter crepe is a perfect choice for any sweet tooth lovers. The serving size is easily shareable too. As someone who rarely eats crepes, the savory one really hit the spot.
