What can I say? Great selection, helpful workers, cute decor! Ice cream is great! I've tried an avocado slush or smoothie one time and it was not for me. read more

Great service and fabulous flavors available. Nice space for enjoying a treat or some coffee!

The establishment is adorable! It's beautifully decorated with Halloween fixtures along with its normal appearance. The staff is super friendly and quick with their services. I had the Jack-O-London which is one of their limited time flavors for the Halloween season. It is jam packed with pumpkin flavor, whipped cream and graham cracker bits to give you that authentic pumpkin pie taste in ice cream form. 10/10 recommend. read more

Me & my daughter usually comes here once a week. Every time we go here, there is no consistency with the serving. I normally get a pint, but the serving for me is not fair enough.. It seems like I am getting a double scoop in a pint container. So technically I am paying more, and the serving is less. It wasn't like this few months ago read more

This place is so cute! I had walked by a few different times when I've come in this area to eat, but never felt inclined to stop for ice cream. Well, I finally decided to stop and I'm so happy i did! The decor is super cute, bright, clean, just as an ice cream parlor should be lol but the staff were SO friendly and helpful and gave great recommendations. I absolutely love lavender flavor and when I saw the very purple lavender sugar cone and they confirmed it had lavender buds baked in and actually tasted like lavender, I was sold! I got pistachio cream ice cream and it was a perfect combo! I almost bought extra cones to take home, but next time! read more

Ive been here twice & I absolutely love this place. When I first went here I love the environment the building presents itself. The ice cream decor captured me & my friend attention that lead us to buy stuff from here. 1st visit Me & my friend shared one of their fundraiser speciality item & it was uni-cone. Which had a scoop of taro ice cream & bubble gum ice cream with tiny marshmallows and cotton candy crunch. The taro ice was amazing! The bubble bum ice cream was alright. If you have a sweet tooth & love taro ice I highly recommend getting this. 5/5 2nd visit Me & my friend gotten the triple rainbow ice cream it's more visually appealing, ice cream taste good. 5/5 read more

Classic and refreshing. I come here every time I'm back in town. The red, white, and blue smoothie is my go to! The mango smoothie was pretty acidic and the green tea latte milk tea was one of the most watered down boba drinks I've tasted. read more

Food - Grilled Ice Cream Sandwich: Chocolate peanut butter ice cream in a sweet brioche bun. Sweet, warm, and yummy.

i love the options. I cant help but get what excited seeing what the friendly staff recommend next.

Love the selection of ice cream, shaved ice, milkshakes, sundaes, and more! They also have a unique selection of flavored waffle cones. I really enjoyed my matcha ice cream with the lavender waffle cone! One of the best flavors was the rainbow sherbet- even my husband enjoyed it and he doesn't usually eat that! Loved the ambiance with cute ice cream themed seating. Great service too! I will definitely be coming back! read more

i enjoy everything here, when i was younger this place was the place i begged my parents to go to for the ice cream and i have mostly fond memories of this ice cream shop, throughout the years i believe its aqquaired a new owner and the owner made more good options and drinks and the overall shop looks much better. and the workers are so friendly and helpful and i've only ever encountered nice workers this place is the nicest of the double rainbow chain shops i've been to. love this place a must go if you're here! read more

The food was great. My kids and I are so happy to come here for the first time and it didn't disappoint. The coffee was wonderful. I had Taro ice cream and banana and it was so good. The service was friendly, kind, and quick. The ambiance hands down was the best part of this place. I love all the colors, the options, and of course it was so yummy. read more

This is great place for a sweet tooth and treat. My ice cream was delicious and it is in a good location.

Double Rainbow is such a cute little ice cream shop. It can get pretty busy on the weekends, and you might see a line out the door, but they keep things moving quickly and they're always smiling. My non-ice cream-loving husband enjoys the slushies and my favorite is the milkshakes so we can walk around. My daughter loves the flavored ice cream cones. Best enjoyed while taking in the views on a bench by the waterfront a couple blocks away. read more

My favorite ice cream shop that brings all the nostalgia! Some of my favorites are the banana split or a classic chocolate ice cream in a waffle cone. They also have delicious shaved ice, coffee & boba drinks! They have so many options and I still have so much I want to try!

We were walking back to our friend's house last night after dinner and weren't sure if this ice cream shop was still open. It ended up being that they closed at 8pm and it was 8pm on the dot. The staff member saw us peeking inside and welcomed us in to serve us up some of the tastiest scoops of ice cream. She was so friendly! I just got a plain cone with a scoop of Rocky road, but it was truly one of the best ice creams I've ever had.. and, that was after eating a full dinner right before. The kids got a special made cone and their favorite ice cream. We all left happy. Thank you for being so welcoming and accommodating! read more

So many options from regular ice cream cups/cones, to sundaes, to shaved ice! So much and hella flavors. But what a freakin' treat. It's a pretty great alternative to Baskin Robbins and I love how they have so many different dessert options to choose from. Great decor inside with some ice cream scoop chairs and such. A great treat after some yummy dinner on down the street. Ladies working kept their poise regardless of how busy they were too. read more

I recently stopped by Double Rainbow Cafe in Benecia a few weeks ago with an urge to have an ice cream fix. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of flavors offered. I was so hungry for ice cream that I ordered a triple scoop of chocolate ice cream. Huge scoops. Ice cream was delicious and so creamy. They also serve milk shakes and ice cream sodas. The two servers, Mia and Gia, are sweethearts and very conscious of health and hygiene standards by using a gloved hand when using the cash register so not to cross contaminate when serving the customer their ice cream....a definite plus. All of the employees are always welcoming every time I've been there. There is easy on-street parking, and there are tables inside and a few tables outside. I highly recommend supporting this family owned business. read more

Visited around 7:30pm and there was a long line. Good sign! We didn't wait long to order at all. I tried their seasonal flavor, salted maple praline something. I didn't get much of the salt but it tasted just like pralines and cream. It was delicious, and did not disappoint. I would definitely return as they have more than just ice cream! They have really expanded their menu since I was here a few years ago. This is a really nice ice cream shop in Benicia. It is cute, welcoming and a great local spot! read more

Always busy dessert spot in Benicia. I don't think I have ever come here when it wasn't busy. They have a variety of options from ice cream, shaved ice, smoothies and more. They even have fresh mini donuts on the weekend. I have tried their donuts before and they were good when eaten fresh. They have colored waffle cones of different flavors as well. Lines can get long so beware of that and have patience. read more

I love this little ice cream/dessert shop! First St. in Benicia is a great place to find something to eat already so if you're looking for something sweet after your meal, Double Rainbow Cafe is the place!

I have been coming here since my early childhood. Now, my daughter and I visit regularly and the staff is sooo sweet! Specifically, Mia and Christine were serving us and they were so patient and kind. My daughter likes to order her self. Mia noticed that my daughter mis communicated and actually didnt want a snow cone, so she was patient and asking her questions allowing her to clarify herself. She then scooped her the flavor she wanted and Christine gave her one of the halloween teeth decors when my daughter asked so kindly. It was a very enjoyable visit for both of us :) Thank you both for being amazing! Also, "Its a Goody" is my all time favorite icecream flavor!! read more

Amazing staff with cool ice cream furniture decor. The kids ordered the colorful cones with their favorite ice cream flavors. My son had the blue corn cone with vanilla ice cream. Personally I was shocked with the over-sweetened vanilla ice cream. I am highly sensitive with the sugar overload. My son couldn't eat another spoon of his ice cream. My daughter ordered the matcha cone with rocky road. She finished hers without problem. When I tasted the matcha cone, it tasted stale. I was hoping to get a fresh taste of matcha followed with a nice crunchy texture from the cone. However the cone was just green without a hint of match flavor. I would probably visit this place again if they improve the balance of sugar and ice cream flavoring. read more

Delicious ice cream. Get the taro and matcha green tea together. Friendly staff and cute ice cream seats.

I like to say that I have been blessed with lactose intolerance because if I wasn't I'd eat ice cream non stop and be as big as someone on My 600lb Life. Tummy aches keep me in check that's for sure. I got the bittiest little Salted Carmel in a cup. It was worth the achy tummy. They have fantastic ice cream. Two of the kids got shaved ice with what ever flavor on top. My man got this delicious Salted Caramel Sundae that was incredible. The pretzel? Get your life with that added pretzel. It was so good. Again, thank goodness I cant eat ice cream all time. Could you imagine my bridge toll bill from Martinez to Benicia to come have a Salted Caramel Sunday? I can and its not good. That sundae though, sooo goooood. The service was fast. They are strict as hell with those covid rules though. Keep your kids in check that's all I'm going to say. If saying no to your kids is hard for you, don't come here for ice cream with them. Leave their non boundary having selves outside. We need more ice cream shops like this. read more

Been coming here a while and it used to be a great experience. However, recently I've ran into several rude employees. The ice cream is good though, so 3 stars for that. read more

Such a cute place downtown Benicia! And I love that they have something non dairy! Love getting the soy berry cherry! It reminds me of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia (of course that's richer and more flavorful) but this to me is soo good and delicious, it's a very close second especially considering this is soy. Have gotten this a few times this summer and have crossed that bridge, paid the toll just to come here to satisfy my craving especially on a very hot day! The young people who work here are also super friendly and sweet and have great customer service. I appreciate it. Thank you for offering this yummy ice cream especially for those of us opting for a non dairy treat! I hope you guys will always have this flavor! read more

First timer here and I was very impressed with how helpful the young ladies were behind the counter! Ambiance was very welcoming, but the ICE CREAM 10/10, definitely recommend to stop by if you're ever in the area! read more

Kids absolutely loved this cute shop! The ice cream cone chairs made it a fun experience. My oldest was super excited that they had shaved ice and he got half Tigers Blood and half blue raspberry. I bought the regular size is pretty big and it skews then $4, which is sooo appreciated. My son was so excited to eat it! As soon as we sat outside and got to the tables, the whole mountain of ice somehow jolted to the floor and luckily the staff were able to hook him up with more. Thanks team! This location also sells donuts on certain hours and they have milkshakes and ice cream sandwiches if you need more variety. For the holidays, they have a rainbow Christmas tree on display with information to donate towards a toy drive. The vibe inside is very fun, and small town ice cream parlor. It was such a nice day in the bay to walk along First street and grab a treat --- route is a must when you're visiting Benicia! read more

Man, I don't know what else to say aside from that this place has some yummy sweets! As you walk in, you can see the store's accolades on the wall, and they definitely deserve it! They serve an assortment of treats, from ice cream, to coffee, to donuts. I went here twice in recent months, and ordered the Refinery drink, and some salted caramel ice cream. The Refinery is a flavor explosion! French Vanilla ice cream with chocolate and some other trimmings. It's just an amazing drink, and you should definitely try it! The salted caramel ice cream was awesome as well! Not too sweet, but just right. I'd definitely get it again as well. Social distancing is observed here, and the service is always great. I'll be back soon for sure! read more

The best workers ever!!!! Each one of the young lovely employees are so nice and professional!!! My only issue is the owner... we visit this place regularly Every and each single time he serves us there's a long unnecessary cringey speech about saving 50 cents for the whipped cream I ordered for my dog! If I can give the team and the ice cream 10 stars I would!!!!! I love them so much but I do try to avoid it when I see the owners, it just a weird vibe that we want things for free from him! This part is for the owner: we usually order at least 2 milkshakes without whipped cream and your lovely employees told me because I asked without the cream they won't charge me extra!!!!! I told you personally I'm willing to pay the 50 cents just feels cringey and awkward hearing how you saved me 50 cents! Hope that make sense!!! read more

I have to review my favorite ice cream shop on National Ice Cream Day! Double Rainbow has the most colorful and welcoming vibes..you can even spot them from a few blocks away. If you are in the area in AM, stop in for local coffee and their mini doughnuts- my favorite are the cinnamon sugar On a hot day, make sure to stop by for ice cream or like me, a shaved iced (cherry/pineapple please!) or nondairy bubble tea (I get almond with cherry jelly hearts). They have something on the menu for everyone, including vegan and nondairy options:) I make sure to stop by every time I'm the area! read more

Supporting local businesses! Took a stroll downtown and looking for a dessert spot. Cute little shop with plenty to offer. The decor is all ice cream related with ice cream chairs and a large siting area that is a huge ice cream sundae. Daughters got the Uni-Cone which was a mix of taro and bubble gum ice cream and 2 tiny cones and tiny marshmallows. So good, they loved it! I got a scoop of the white pistachio and husband got a scoop of snickerdoodle. Total cost about $16. Friendly staff and great service. Social distancing is enforced. You wait outside until you're called in as they serve 1 customer at a time. They do allow indoor seating but there's plenty of sitting areas outside. Enter in one way and exit out another. Staff also wear gloves. Will be coming back. read more
