This place is great! I actually went two days in a row. You'll probably have to park a little far but it's worth it! They have a lot of Asian inspired flavors. They let you sample flavors before committing. I got the single cup so I could get two flavors. I wound up getting the dan tat and the pandan. The dan tat is what they're known for. Genius, everyone likes dan tat and everyone likes ice cream! Everyone working there was friendly and efficient. It was Christmas when I went, so there was a tree. Not much seating, but you can take your ice cream on a walk around the block. read more

If you're ever in Alameda and craving an asian inspired ice cream, look no further than this spot! This small shop has a variety of unique flavors such as lychee black tea, mango sticky rice, and egg tart. I went with the strawberry matcha and banana oreo flavors. I like that the ice cream doesn't melt too easily and the texture is just right. I never thought I would like the combination of oreo and banana together but this flavor was delicious! The strawberry matcha also tasted good and felt very refreshing. There are a few seats outside but I don't think there was anywhere to sit inside. Parking was a bit tough since it is all street parking. Overall, pretty cool spot! read more

The workers don't look so happy here but they were very nice and they give you samples so that was nice. Everything that we tried tasted exactly how we thought it would taste. Overall the food is really good. We enjoyed it thoroughly. Tried all different flavors. The fruity pebbles cookies and cream and a biscot coffee and the chocolate malt for our favorite read more

Cookiebar is such a fun ice cream spot because the flavors feel way more creative than your average shop. I love that they lean into unique options like durian and banana Oreo, and the whole menu has that same playful, unexpected vibe with flavors like Thai iced tea, jasmine milk tea, dan tat, and matcha Oreo. read more

Amazing ice cream and I don't even like ice cream that much so thats saying something. I know what kind of monster doesn't like ice cream. Anyways, their flavors are amazing!! The dan tat blew my mind and is a must get. Their jasmine milk tea was very strong in the best way possible. The mango sticky rice tasted EXACTLY like mango sticky rice. They take their flavoring very seriously, a big pet peeve of mine is getting asian flavored things that taste nothing like what they are suppose to taste like or are too mild in flavor. Not here the banana oreo tasted intensely like banana in the best way possible. They have a sign that says free samples, which is very thoughtful, its nice to be able to sample all of the interesting flavors before committing. Def a favorite! read more

A very unique ice cream shop in Alameda focusing on Asian flavors! I was grabbing dinner nearby with friends, and we decided to pop by Cookiebar for some ice cream afterwards. Parking is all street parking, but it was easy to find half a block away. When we came Friday night around 8:30 pm, it wasn't crowded at all and we were able to order quickly. There were so many flavors that looked interesting, like lychee black tea or pandan coconut, but I didn't want to ask for samples of everything so I limited myself. I did sample the dan tat (egg tart) flavor because I was super curious about it. It tasted very similar to the custard filling of an egg tart, but I didn't think I'd want a whole scoop of it, so I passed. I ended up getting a single cup with 2 scoops - one of Hong Kong milk tea and one of the mango sticky rice - for $6.50. The HK milk tea flavor tasted spot on, and the mango sticky rice was super mango-y as well. The only thing I didn't like was that the mango sticky rice had some annoyingly large chunks of rice in it. But otherwise both flavors were delicious! There is no indoor seating here, though there are a couple tables outside. It's not a place to sit and slowly chat with friends but rather a place to quickly eat some ice cream and go. read more

This was just one of those accidental finds that may not have been so accidental when it came to calorie consumption. Jamie W and I were having tiki libations at Forbidden Island and decided to take a walk over to Webster since we don't venture that much on this side of Alameda. We even played pinball at the Pacific Pinball Museum. All that thumb wrestling with those vintage pinball machines must've made me peckish for ice cream. I managed to finagle Jamie to enter the compact shop, and I was immediately impressed by the Asian twang of some of the flavors like Hong Kong Milk Tea, Durian, and Mango Sticky Rice. I surprised even myself and ordered the $4 Kid's Cup of Rocky Road (photo: https://yelp.to/Mh0fd59F-o). It was quite rich and creamy, so the size worked fine for me. The Asian flavors would be worth a return visit. Good to know there's ice cream beyond Tucker's and Loard's. ICE CREAM - 4 stars...pretty yummy, on the thicker side AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...compact spot with bench seating on the outside SERVICE - 4 stars...friendly TOTAL - 4 stars...nice option for your sweet tooth on Webster RELATED - Exploring Alameda?

They allowed me to do unlimited samples, so I tried these flavors: Mango sticky rice Dan tat (egg tart) Pandan coconut Lychee black tea Matcha oreo All were quite good and had fun textures, I like the lychee black tea since it had a strong fruity taste. In general, I've really liked the tea flavors at Cookiebar. I ultimately went for the mango sticky rice and lychee black teas as a double. Prices are pretty average for ice cream nowadays. They continue to frequently offer flavors involving ingredients that are more common in east Asian and southeast Asian cuisines. read more

While visiting my friend in Alameda, we were craving some dessert after dinner. She recommended Cookiebar Scoop Shop because they have unique asian inspired flavors. The shop is quite small but the line moved fast. When we got there it was pretty cold outside but when I saw all the flavors I knew it was going to be worth it even if I was freezing. I wanted to try everything on the menu because some of the flavors I've never seen before. Egg tart (one of my fav dessert!). The workers were so nice and patients to let me try whatever I wanted. Ultimately ended up going with a small scoop split flavor of pandan coconut and mango sticky rice. I love that the ice cream was not too sweet (iykyk). The mango sticky rice had chunks of sticky rice in it which made it so good and interesting. So good I had to get a pint to go. $12 for a pint or if you get 3 it's only $10. My friend got the durian, and thought it was perfect since it had a strong durian flavor. Such a gem! Can't wait to go back and try other flavors read more

Came to Cookiebar Scoop Shop because their ice cream menu intrigued me and we were in the area. The main flavor that pulled me in was the Dan Tat (egg tart) flavor. Located in Alameda off Lincoln and Webster, Cookiebar Scoop Shop doesn't actually serve cookies as its name might infer. Instead they serve ice cream with Asian and classic flavors. The inside is small, but cute with hints of mint green and classic black and white checkerboard flooring. My sister and I were able to sample a bunch of flavors, and the ones that stood out to us that we ended up ordering were: - Dan Tat (egg tart) - so custardy with bits of flakey pastry - Pandan Coconut - great pandan flavor and the coconut gave good texture - Cookies n Creme - this one was like an intense version of a classic cookies and cream ice cream you'd get at any other ice cream shop. It was creamy delicious, Oreo x1000. The girl who helped us was super nice and helpful too. She explained the intensity of the cookies and creme, which convinced my sister to order it. Overall great flavors, and I would definitely come back! I want to try the Banana Oreo! read more

Made a quick stop here for some ice cream. Cookiebar has a super cute aesthetic and a curated menu of ice cream flavors. I didn't feel overwhelmed by the flavor options. I was disappointed about the depth of flavors though. For many of the flavors I tasted, it was quite weak and "watered down" compared to other ice cream shops I've been to. Pricing is on the steeper side too. Overall, not a bad ice cream shop, but not my first choice. read more

This is one of my friend's favorite ice cream places, so per her recommendation, our group of five came by after lunch on Saturday a little before 4pm (found metered parking across the street). There were only a couple of people in the shop when we arrived, and we took our time looking over their options. They had so many Asian flavors, and I ended up trying a good number of them (durian, dan tat/Chinese egg tart, Hong Kong milk tea, London fog, ube, and pandan coconut). There wasn't a single flavor I didn't enjoy, which made the process of choosing quite difficult HAHA. I finally settled on a single with durian and Hong Kong milk tea. I really appreciated how patient and helpful the lady at the counter was when I was feeling indecisive, so huge shoutout to her for providing great customer service. I would come back more often if I lived in the area, but if you're in the area, I would HIGHLY recommend trying this shop out!! read more

Was in the area for the weekend and wanted to grab dessert with my friends after dinner. They suggested this spot for its Asian inspired flavors, especially the Dan Tat. I highly recommend trying it as it actually reminded me of a real egg tart, especially with the chunks of crust mixed in. They also offer other delicious flavors like Mango Sticky Rice, Pandan Coconut, and Matcha Oreo. I already know I'll be stopping by every time I'm in the area again. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon to satisfy my post-lunch sweet tooth craving. I like the variety of flavors, especially those that have an Asian spin to them (I.e. Hong Kong milk tea, dan tat, ube, etc.). My post-lunch sweet tooth craving clearly got the best of me because I took photos inside the shop, but totally blanked as soon as I got my ice cream and didn't take any photos. I ordered a single cup with matcha Oreo and ube. I wish the ube was a little less coconutty (I have found some places make ube treats with a strong coconut taste and some do with no coconut taste). The matcha Oreo was also kind of grainy, which was weird. There were two staff members working. They were nice, but not super engaged with customers from what I saw. I wish they offered a sample to try a flavor when they saw someone struggling to decide between flavors. The shop is small with no seating, so we took advantage of this and walked around the neighborhood with our ice cream. Parking is available via street parking. read more

Small shop with no seats inside. Ordering was easy and able to sample the flavors. The Dan tat one was really good! Good custard flavor and not overly sweet, and there are also bits of crust mixed in with the ice cream. They didn't have pandan when I went, or Hong Kong milk tea which were the other flavors I've seen and would like to try. read more

a cute little ice cream shop in alameda with fun, unique flavors! i love that the workers are so patient with sampling,, all the flavors sounded so good; it was hard to decide which scoops to do,, i ended up doing a single scoop on the dan tat and the jasmine milk tea. ive never seen dan tat as a flavor before, so i was really excited to try this one. it was a little bit more of a firmer/icier texture than the jasmine mt one, but i enjoyed the eggy custard taste + the little tart fixings! the jasmine mt was soft and so strong in jasmine - it was my favorite of the two. im excited to return when they have their soft serve available! read more

I loved that their London Fog actually tasted like earl grey! It is on the sweeter side, though. I sampled some other flavors as well. Delightful! I love that Cookiebar spotlights on Asian flavors.

The ice cream here is creamy and the flavors are fun and robust! I was eager to sample all of their signature (South)East Asian flavors (dan tat, pandan coconut, mango sticky rice, etc) but as a durian lover, I felt all of those paled in comparison. The durian flavor was fragrant but not overpowering to the point where my husband didn't want to be near me anymore lol. Since one of our favorite places to eat dim sum in the East Bay is East Ocean across the street, this shop is our go-to dessert spot afterward! read more

This store is the only store I will drive 40 mins for just to get ice cream. All of the ice cream flavors are spot on! Each time I go, I HAVE to bring at least a pint home for myself and another for a friend. I know they are known for the "dan tat" flavor, which is really good but daaang the banana oreo has my heart. Unfortunately, that isn't a permanent flavor so if you see it, TRY IT! read more

To be honest, I wish this place could mail me pints of ice cream. Came here twice during my short stay in alameda and both times got the egg tart ice cream. It literally taste like an egg tart and even has pieces of the pastry in it. It was so good, I'm still thinking about it! We even came here near closing time and the staff was still so nice and let us try the flavors we wanted and didn't try to rush us out. read more

This is a late review but I love coming here for ice cream whenever I'm in Alameda, since they have some really unique flavors. They have egg tart flavored ice cream, which is a must-try since I've never seen that in other ice cream shops. Last time I came here I got the HK milk tea and egg tart ice cream, which paired together very nicely. You can ask for samples if you're having a hard time deciding which flavor to get. There's some seating outside and they have street parking since the shop is on Webster St. read more

Came here on the recommendation of a friend because we love Asian-inspired flavors. I've been to many other ice cream joints that also do Asian flavors, but I think the flavors here were much more unique! I did a split scoop with the Dan Tat (Chinese Egg Tart) which had the creaminess of an egg tart with pieces of the pastry crust in the ice cream itself, and the Mango Sticky Rice. Compared to other attempts at mango sticky rice elsewhere, this one had a much deeper mango sticky rice flavor--you wouldn't even guess it was non-dairy! Overall the ice creams felt a little on the sweeter side but were still good. They also have plenty of more American-oriented flavors like Fruity Pebbles or Cotton Candy. Regardless, you won't find basic chocolate or vanilla ice cream here--all the flavors looked super interesting! I'd definitely be back to try other flavors. They do have gluten free and non-dairy options as well. The inside was pretty cute and simple, there's a decent amount of seating outside if needed--good to sit at on a cool, sunny day. Service was pretty nice as well and they let us sample plenty of flavors! Will definitely be back when in Alameda. read more

Cookiebar Scoop Shop - Flavors in October 2024! - Desserts Near Me - Alameda, California

I've been coming here the last few times and the ice cream flavors have been so yummy each time! I appreciate that the flavors are mainly Asian based, ranging from Thai iced tea to Milo (a childhood favorite malt drink) to Dan tat (egg tarts). Even oolong milk tea was available too! I looove the dan tat as it has little bite sized chunks of the crusts! I loved it so much that I purchased 2 pints to bring home; one to drop off and share with a friend. The other flavors were super tasty, too. The interior is a bit small, so the line can wrap around outside when it gets busy! But the service is great and things move quick. The workers are also really nice, patient, and friendly. This ice cream shop is a must stop whenever I am in the area. read more

Stopped by Cookiebar for a sweet treat, and was not disappointed! Really awesome flavors, ended up getting the strawberry matcha and circus animal cookie (my personal favorite ice cream!!) Loved that there were very few nut options as someone with a nut allergy, made me feel safer eating ice cream here. Really great price as well. Service is the reason for the 4 star review, the scooper was not very friendly and made the experience somewhat awkward. Definitely will try this place again soon! read more

It's been awhile since I've had an Asian inspired ice cream shop taste this good! Others are good in flavor but this one was very creamy and not icy! I was surprised to learn how many Filipino flavors there were milo and calamansi! Also not too sweet! I was bummed there weren't any cookies at the time but I'm looking forward to them serving soft serve in the future. Staff were very nice, allowed us all the free samples with our group of 6, and overall atmosphere and exterior looks colorful and fun. I still crave this flavor of egg tart, and was very happy to experience matcha Oreo for the first time as well. Hope to hit this place up again next time I'm in alameda. read more

I'm giving a four because I haven't tried any other flavor besides the animal cookie flavor. Honestly is my favorite Ice cream flavor, it's all I get. So delicious I highly recommend to anyone. Usually teenagers work here which at times can be a bit rude but won't take away the deliciousness of the flavors. It's a small convenient ice cream shop with benches in front to sit and enjoy the remarkable flavor of the animal cookie flavored ice cream. Next time I go I'm going to try a different flavor and just get the animal cookie in a pint for later read more

Asian flavored ice cream... wow this place is amazing! Mango sticky rice Jasmine milk tea Dan Tat Hong Kong milk tea Lychee black tea All really solid flavors.

Amazing! A party member brought four different Asian-inspired flavors from here to a party, and they were so good and spot on. Four flavors we tried: dan tat, lychee black tea, durian, and ube. Aside from the ube, I tried all the other ones, and oh my goodness, they were all so good. It was hard to pick a favorite. I think it would really come down to what you're in the mood for. The tea flavor came through the lychee black tea; the durian flavor was subtle, yet creamy without the notorious smell it's known for; and the dan tat had bits of tart mixed into it's egg custardy goodness. I am most definitely a fan! read more

Overall rating: 5/5 This ice cream shop has been raved about by good friends, so it has always been a place I wanted to try if I'm in the Alameda area. Boy, did it blow my mind! Situated near downtown, there's decent amount of street parking which can mean the walk to Cookiebar depends on how many blocks away you've parked. The interior is cute and simple and you can find some outdoor seating right out front too. Cookiebar offers many flavors of unique ice cream. Of the ones I tried, the texture was very creamy and smooth. I ordered: 1. Dan tat (5/5): WOAH! If you've ever grown up eating egg tarts, it tastes exactly just like that! Very eggy and I loved the bits of buttery crust distributed throughout the ice cream. There was also a lingering buttery aftertaste that was quite pleasant. 2. Pandan coconut (5/5): also really really good and accurate in flavor! I loved the coconut bits in the ice cream. The workers are friendly, patient, and gave samples. Overall, a highly must try! If you had to do a blind taste test to guess the flavors, I feel like Cookiebar nailed it. At least for the ones I've tried, the flavors are spot on. Now I'm looking forward to trying the other flavors! read more

1608 Webster St Alameda, CA 94501 (Alameda West End) It was Wednesday evening around 8pm. It was about 50*F, with a chilly breeze along Alameda's Webster Street. What's this all mean? It means there's a good chance there's no line at the Cookiebar Ice Cream Shop! So I step inside the small shop, and I'm greeted immediately. There's two young ladies ahead of me, and I have no problem waiting. This location used to be a donut shop. I look over the flavors, and decided I want to try their fruity flavors. I ask for two scoops in a cup of Strawberry Oreo and Coconut Pineapple. The posted price is $7.50. That price is fair for premium custom made ice cream. It's about the same at Baskin-Robbins. The difference is the scoop size and quality of the ice cream. Also, how was your experience here? That's why we write Yelp reviews! The ice cream is good and delicious. It's has a creamy texture with no after taste. It retains its cold consistency. Ice cream is a comfort food, it makes you feel good. The shop is small with no indoor seating. There's some seats outside. It's a takeout type place for premium ice cream. Street parking. There's a public lot 1 block away behind the Pinball Museum. read more
