We were in Oakland, wanting to try out a new ice cream spot. This one came up on Yelp, and it was fun to try. I got the Roasted Banana Walnut, which was so good!!! They also have several vegan/non-dairy options for others too. Most of their non-dairy are actually cashew based, which is interesting to try. They also have soft serve here too, which I really wanted to try, but you can only eat so much ice cream in one sitting!! Overall, great ice cream place, no line either on the weekend. Would definitely drop by again if in the area. read more

Review is mainly about service vs the ice cream itself. But I gave it an extra star as I thought the ice cream was good considering it is vegan. Came in on a Sunday night with a big group. The employee would forget which flavors we wanted and rudely asked for all of us (who already got our ice cream) to leave the space as it was getting too crowded. Fair ask, yes. The way it was delivered? Just rudely said with a bad tone too. I also got charged for my ice cream when one of my friends had already paid for mine in front of me. I went to have it reversed, and he was saying how my friend paid for 6 singles and I got a junior size then there was nothing to be reversed. If anything we paid twice and for the wrong size. I get that it may have been confusing especially with big groups and long lines but it could have been handled more professionally. read more

I've been going to Curbside for years and nearly every single experience has left much to be desired. 1. The service is horrible almost every time. If you don't like kids or don't like questions, find a new job, honey. Ice cream isn't just about the dessert, it's about the experience and tangible joy that comes with it. 2. Prices aren't awful for ice cream in Oakland but you'd get more bang for you buck uhhh... anywhere else. A single scoop is more like a single spoonful. 3. The range of flavors is actually great. There are a lot of vegan options as well as regular ones. 4. Ice cream quality varies. Some ice cream has ice chunks, other cones don't. read more

SOOOO GOOD!!! Stopped by because my boyfriend knew they had vegan ice cream, and I am so glad we did!! I tried a sample of their Mexican chocolate ice cream (dairy) which was so tasty and I would've totally gotten it if not in a dairy-free mood. I ended up getting their peanut butter fudge (vegan) ice cream in a waffle cone topped with chocolate sprinkles. My boyfriend got the cookies and cream (vegan) with rainbow sprinkles. The dairy free ice cream (these with a cashew base) was veryyyy flavorful, and I was especially pleased with my peanut butter. The waffle cones, oh wow, they were so delicious. It tasted like they were freshly baked and it made every bite all the better. The worker serving us was super nice and welcoming!! Will 100% be coming back + telling all my friends! read more

Service is ok but the soft serve ice cream tastes like powdered cashews blended together and soaked in heavy cream. Maybe it's good if you're vegan. read more

Of course as soon it turns 70 degrees we all want ice cream! Small area but seating outside. Very polite and clean ambiance. I got the chocolate soft serve, but plenty of other flavors to choose from read more

Delicious! My bestfriend been trying to get me to come to this place for so long, and I finally said yes LOL. It was around 9 pm so the line wasn't too bad. Parking is street parking. There were tables in front of the entrance for people to sit, chat, and enjoy their ice cream! I am incredibly grateful for all the vegan options, as I am (sooooo) lactose intolerant. You were able to sample flavors, but I went with my gut and chose lemon cream (v). It was so yummy! I love a heavy lemon flavor and it was just that. 10/10 My bestfriend got a bourbon whiskey vanilla (I didn't try it bc no dairy for me lol!) she ranked it a 10/10. I will be coming back to try more flavors! Love it! read more

It's almost fair to say I come here for their handmade Chocolate Waffle Cone... but, of course I love their ice cream too! Their Vanilla Bourbon ice cream is truly a perfect blend of the whiskey notes and rich vanilla bean. Unless I love both the available soft serve flavors (they always have one that is intriguing) this is one of the rare places I almost always order my usual! A neighborhood staple that is open late. read more

Staff is hilarious. :) Love a place with some personality! Also the ice cream was amazing! The Thai tea flavor was very rich and almost buttery, maybe even brown butter? Whatever they put in there it's honestly a mind blowing Thai tea ice cream! Mexican chocolate was great, and was actually complex and didn't just taste like cinnamon like some other places do. Make sure to come earlier than u think for a late night treat, as the line gets so long they have to stop people from joining! read more

We were pleased with this place and its offerings, especially the vegan, non-dairy options! I would say the flavors taste very strongly of their bases, coconut, cashew, etc. We chose a salted caramel soft serve with a cashew base and it was delicious. I think the cashew provides a bit of a grimier texture. This was definitely more salty/savory than sweet. I think those expecting in soft serve may find that the texture is soft serve but with a little something extra. There are also only two soft serve flavors, one of them being non-dairy, so our decision-making was quick. read more

We popped in here on a Saturday night around 8pm and had a delicious experience! There was a line, but we didn't wait longer than 10 minutes. I loved my bourbon vanilla ice cream, my husband really enjoyed his coffee ice cream, and my 7 year old liked her salted caramel ice cream. We appreciated the fact we were able to try samples before ordering. It was also helpful to have a junior scoop option, along with multiple cone choices (chocolate waffle cone, waffle cone, sugar cone, cake cone)! Definitely worth a visit. read more

Service is consistently unfriendly. The ice cream is mediocre. You can get more delicious ice cream & excellent service at Miharu. Ice cream should be 100% pleasurable...and here it is not. read more

This was our final stop in our adventure day! We weren't sure what the flavor of the day was but we were happy to see that it was matcha. The dairy soft serve was matcha and the vegan soft serve was vanilla bean. We both chose to get the swirl and that did not disappoint. I ordered it on their homemade waffle cone and that was TASTE TAY! The cone had the right about of sweetness and crunch. There was a little line to get your soft serve and there are ice creams I'd like to dive into next time. I hope to come back for a surprise visit soon. read more

Was in town visiting my sister for the day and she took me to all of her favorite vegan spots. We couldn't end our night without a sweet treat, so ice cream was a must. Curbside creamery is literally curbside, hence the name and just a small shop with roll up doors. There is no seating inside but this is not meant to be a sit down type of place. There is seating located just outside and the vibes here were so much fun. There was music playing, people dancing, and larger groups of friends laughing and enjoying each other's company over some ice cream. There were several options to choose from such as soft serve, ice cream sandwiches, vegan and non vegan ice cream and even pie. The flavors ranged from classic chocolate to unique roasted banana walnut. Staff were very friendly and helpful in trying a few flavors before making your decision. I went with the cherry almond (non vegan) on a waffle cone which was such a hit. My sister got the cookies and cream (vegan) which was good but had a chalky texture to it. read more

Quite literally on the curb, it looks like it's operated out of a garage. However don't let that fool you, Curbside has a great selection of both vegan and non-vegan flavors. From classics like strawberry and chocolate, to a rotating list of great coconut and cashew-based ice creams. If you find a flavor you like, you can bring home a separate pre-packaged pint. Beyond just ice cream, they also have pie. I know, kind of a weird dessert combo, but honestly not bad. I wouldn't eat them together, but individually? Count me in. Curbside is a nice little spot to grab a dessert after eating dinner at one of the numerous restaurants on Telegraph. read more

One of the only places open past a certain hour - it was fairly early still but most stores on this alley seemed closed. It was easy to drop in as their doors were wide open and inviting. I don't remember ever coming here in the past. It's a small establishment, but they have a lot of unique flavors to choose from. I appreciated how they have a good selection of vegan and non-vegan and sorbet options. Some classics and others in rotation. Peanut Butter Fudge (cashew based - vegan opt) & Salted Caramel (non-vegan, regular opt) was my 2 scoop in a cup selection. I requested to sample the following which were also very good: - Young Coconut (coconut based - vegan opt) - Bourbon Whiskey Vanilla (non-vegan, regular opt) - Cookies n' Cream (cashew based - vegan opt) I wanted to try their Matcha and Grapefruit Sorbet too, but didn't. Friendly staff! I would keep coming back just to checkout what flavors are being offered b/c I found them to be so interesting! read more

I'm very disappointed with my recent experience at Curbside Creamery.During our last visit, the ice cream had been switched from regular milk to a vegan alternative that contained nuts -- and this was not clearly communicated to us. As a result, my cousin she is 2 years old had a severe allergic reaction and we had to go to the ER. This was a very scary and dangerous situation that could have been prevented with proper labeling and staff awareness. Food allergies are serious, and customers rely on businesses to be transparent about ingredients -- especially when there are changes. I really hope they take this seriously and improve their communication and allergen practices so this doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

such a cute store literally on the curbside in a garage-looking space. i went ~8:30pm on a thursday and the line was still out the door (it moved pretty quickly though!). they allow you to try the flavors which are ever changing. i went for the pistachio ice cream w the chocolate soft serve and it was so good. love the bits of actual pistachio nuts and sweetness paired with the creaminess of the dark chocolate!! they also have free cake/sugar cones you can add as well~ theres a lot of seating outside the shop, so we enjoyed sitting and watching the crowds go by,, i already know this is going to be one of my top ice cream shops :) (p.s. they also have a buncha vegan ice cream flavors + pies!) read more

First. The ice cream itself is good, second of all, if you guys are first comers, pls get the salted caramel!!!!! Also their service is really good and doesn't take long at all!!! And the workers are always nice to kids and adults!! Plus, the price isn't that bad. I got a junior ice cream and it was only $5. Take your kids here NOW!!!!! read more

I'll speak for my fellow lactose intolerant community that curbside has one of the best dairy free selections in the east bay! When the weather is nice it's fun to come to the alley way with a friend for some icecream. My favorites flavors are the cookies and cream, peanut butter fudge, and Thai iced tea - they let you sample of course. They have different selections for cones. Service is quick and friendly usually, although we've had one sour experience towards our group, and be prepared to stand in a line since it's well loved! No indoor seating area, just outside surrounded by sweet stores to explore. read more

I don't know who needs to hear it, but this is the best ice cream and the bay area hands down. Every time I come here I get the cherry almond ice cream and every single time. It is so delicious and creamy and rich with almond flavor with cherry tartness to even it out. Waffle cone was crisp and fresh. The ice cream server was so nice and let me try some of the flavors before ordering in which I found a new favorite flavor.. coconut! which is vegan. It is great to see they have so many vegan options! Soft serve is great as well. I love the Thai tea Flavor. It is a small shop with only outdoor seating and there is usually a line out the door so be prepared for that. Parking is minimal as well per usual in that area so be prepared to look around a bit. read more

Curbside Creamery - Cherry almond and coconut split in a waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Oakland, California

We came here tonight after some Korean food across the street. I've always come here and loved supporting the business. And I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, tonight warrants zero starts if possible. Came here with the hubby and toddler and ordered two small cones. It was raining and as we started eating the cones, the employee tells us we have to leave. Note: It is raining. Note: we have a child with us. Note: there is literally no one else ordering in the store. Then when asking for clarification, worker sitting on the stool scrolling on phone after we gave him a tip points to a scrappy looking handwritten sign that says, "No eating inside." Totally get that but when it's raining and we have a kid with two small cones and literally no one else is walking into the store, maybe show some common courtesy and say, "Hey folks-our policy is no eating inside as it can get crowded but if you finish fast as it is raining outside, no worries. We want to ask for you to step out if it gets too crowded." Oh, by the way, we had to finish our cones under the shade of Mountain Mike Pizza across the street. We will never be back, and we will never recommend such horrendous customer service. read more

Was in the neighborhood for tacos, but while walking past this place, I couldn't help but seek out icecream after catching a waft of their waffle cones. After sampling a few flavors, I opted for a single waffle cone with their sweet corn and pistachio. There was a miscommunication between the workers because I was served sweet corn and Thai tea, but I didn't care enough to correct them since I also enjoy Thai tea. Both icecream scoops had very pronounced flavor, but some bites were quite icy, hence the 3 stars. I say the selection is good for large groups with varying dietary restrictions as there are many vegan options available. Another plus is that the portion sizes are fair for the price. The flavors are also on the more unique side, but I feel they could execute the icecream better. read more

Great service, fun staff. Stopped by after ramen for a late evening sweet treat. Went with a waffle cone, Thai tea and Coffee scoop. Sometimes vegan scoops lack the creamy element but these were both good. Thai Tea was 9/10, Coffee 7/10. Funny enough my nephew's cone was cracked while filling so the gentlemen added a second cone, then I was like I'd the same and he hooked it up. read more

Absolutely delicious ice cream!!! Tucked away in the back alley, we were brought here by the incredible aroma of their chocolate waffle cones being made. The salted caramel one was vegan, made of coconut. Didn't really hit the spot for me. The flavours that really hit me was their Mexican Chocolate as well as their Whiskey Vanilla. The slight whiskey kiss was super seductive. The spiciness of the Mexican chocolate was perfect!! Definitely coming back to try more flavours!! read more

Recently tried the vegan corn ice cream and it was amazing. I still dream about it... I need to make a trip out to Oakland again. The vegan ice cream was so creamy and not so sweet which was perfect for me! I'm so excited to go back and try other vegan flavors and pick up a pint of the corn ice cream read more

The ambiance here is colder than the ice cream We truly felt like we inconvenienced them by ordering. We felt so unwelcomed and noticed that other's walking in felt awkward by the eye rolls and huffing and puffing happening as well. Everyone working here is annoyed and irritated and they WORK AT AN ICE CREAM SHOP. Lucky for them, the ice cream was delicious so they got some stars for that. However it is NOT worth the lack of service. read more

I have visited the ice cream spot so many times and so far.the customer service has been the same. Customer Service 0 If you ask a question They give you a face of "do not ask anymore question" and not kids friendly face So I told myself to not go to that spot ever again. read more

My nice is severely allergic to nuts and this shop switched the flavor of her regular her ice cream and they didn't let customers know enough. They claimed they had a sign but this is not enough especially when a switch like can turned into a life or death situation. My niece was taken to the ER after her first tried, and sadly the response from management was zero accountability and rude. Don't recommend this shop at all. read more

Be careful if your a person with a nut allergy and go to this spot. They don't care if you have an allergic reaction they will just blame you for your genetics. When the owner was spoken to they were very rude and defensive about the situation. Curbside Creamy is a heartless establishment if you have one they will try to take it be careful. read more

My family lives in the neighborhood and we have come to this shop many times. My daughter has a severe nut allergy. She always gets the salted caramel ice cream and has never had a problem. Recently, my husband took her to get her usual salted caramel. Minutes after one taste, she had a bad allergic reaction. We had to rush to the ER! I called the shop the next day to ask what was in the ice cream. I was told that normally the salted caramel is dairy, but that day it was vegan and made with walnuts and coconut. My daughter is allergic to walnuts. I emailed the manager to share what happened. I asked her to train employees to verbally tell customers when they switch a flavor to vegan and to ask about allergies. Her response was that they have signs and labels, so that is enough. She said the ice cream had cashews, not walnuts, but that does not matter,my daughter is allergic to nuts. The manager also said customers with severe nut allergies may not be a good fit for their shop. I told her again that signs are not enough because not everyone reads English and not everyone sees small labels. She refused and kept saying the signs are enough. I was very disappointed that the manager did not take responsibility. No one told my husband the recipe had changed. No one asked if anyone had allergies. A small sign is not enough to keep people safe. Please be very careful if you or your child has a nut allergy. This shop uses nuts in many flavors and switches recipes without telling customers directly. We no longer feel safe coming here read more

Awesome friendly service and I adore their salted caramel ice cream, which can also be purchased in pints. They're one of few businesses that do stamp cards which is also a plus. They keep it clean and there's cute seating across from the shop that's a mix of metal seats with tables and a wooden bench. read more

Amazing selection of ice cream (dairy and dairy free options) and soft serve. Even though they had such an extensive dairy free selection, they were also very accommodating due to one of us having cashew allergy - used a new scooper and was very mindful of scooping the ice cream. I personally enjoyed the dairy free (cashew milk) soft serve. Pistachio with dark chocolate swirl were amazing. We just sat on a bench in the nice alleyway with all the small business shops and enjoy it with a nice sunny day. read more

I've been meaning to go here for so long, and I'm happy to had such a great time getting ice cream around Curbside Creamery! It is a small shop in Temescal, and you walk in to see all the flavors on display. We were able to try a bunch of flavors, and I liked the Pumpkin and Coconut one the best! Our server was so nice and made conversation as we were ordering. The prices are cheaper than surrounding ice cream areas, but the scoops are also a lot smaller! But the ice cream itself was so delicious and I need to come back to try the Malted flavor, which our server likes best! read more

I have sampled ice cream everywhere and feel very strongly that I live within walking distance of the very best. Every out of town guest that I brought here over the past 9 years has asked me take them back here, no matter how long ago they visited me. They *remember* this place as the highlight of their trip, hands down favorite. Lots of ice cream places have unique flavors and vegan ice cream. Very few have that and top shelf taste and consistency. I just had a serve twist of Salted Caramel (Vegan) and Dark Chocolate (dairy) with rainbow sprinkles in a waffle cone. It was crazy delicious, and I rarely give that kind of review to ice creameries, especially of a soft serve. They have both dairy and vegan versions- sometimes even of the same flavor! Their ice cream sandwiches are so good, that my daughter cuts them in half so she can slowly savor them over two days. Why?! They are made from cookies that are brilliant on their own - ginger snaps or vanilla shortbread. My favorite is Earl Grey ice cream sandwiches with English shortbread. But the mint chocolate chip with chocolate cookies sandwiches is a close second. The service is kind, warm, and also consistent. read more

Come here--your taste buds deserve a yummy treat! The best part? A single scoop means you can choose two smaller scoops of different flavors, so you don't have to settle. I went for the ginger snap molasses and salted caramel, and let me tell you, this creamy goodness was everything I needed after dinner. My fiancée stuck with the classic cookies and cream, which was equally delicious. Our daughter? She loved every single bite, and seeing her joy made it even better. This spot is a must. Come here, that's all. read more

This WAS my go-to dessert spot in temescal but after my friends and I experienced rude and hostile treatment, we do not feel comfortable coming back. A group of friends and I (a mix of queer, non-binary, trans and all of us POC which is important for the context) came here after dinner for some ice cream. We walked in to take a look at the flavors and immediately, the person working the counter (also lgbtq+ but white) firmly told us we can't all be crowding so only a few at a time at the counter. FYI, it was night and raining out and this is how we were greeted. We understand if we need to be in a line! But what bothered us was the tone. We don't expect a smile and a hello but damn we at least deserve respect. And ALL of us caught that tone, which felt rude / not friendly at all. But whatever we got our ice cream and were just standing, enjoying it outside. Suddenly another worker comes out (female, fair skin) and then *also* RUDELY tells us to get off of the mats a couple of friends were standing on, we shouldn't be standing on them. We were confused because the rubber black mats were literally just left outside in a messy pile wet from the rain and we had no idea it even belonged to them. Again with the attitude and tone! Why can't y'all just be polite? At this point we were so done so we just walked away. For an establishment that appears to be inclusive of all identities, progressive, woke, etc... they sure were hella rude to a group of queer and COLORED folks! This seems like a friendly welcoming place but that was not at all the vibe we got that night. The fact that we were an entire group of people who all felt the same about what happened, says a lot. We did not feel safe or respected here which is a shame. This business should practice what it preaches which is community and inclusivity because it truly felt low vibrational on some big hater energy. And we all know targeted hate when we see/feel it. Check your privilege and do better. read more
