    We went to Double Rainbow twice over our weekend stay in Benicia. The service was friendly on both visits and the store is very clean and fun. It's got a great vibe with ice cream decor that you can sit on to enjoy your ice cream and they also have a double rainbow light and art on the walls plus a train track wrapping around the top of the wall in the main sitting room. I don't know if the train works but we hope it does. There were many flavors to choose from and pretty looking sundaes. We enjoyed our ice creams and sherbets.

    My kids and I like to come here for an ice cream before a walk every once in a while. They recently moved locations. They have really yummy ice cream, they also have sorbets as well as some vegan options. I really enjoy the ultra chocolate. I've also tried the bubblegum and rocky road. Their ice cream is really creamy. My oldest enjoys the green mint chip and my younger one likes their birthday cake. The staff is nice and the place is cute!

    Double Rainbow has always been our favorite local ice cream spot. They just moved to a new location, not too far from where they were. However, I am unsure about the flow of their new location. Only one of the two doors are open/being used. The line to order ice cream is really awkward. It's so compact and I felt like being in line, I was in the way of those who were done paying for their ice cream and were trying to find a way out. Other than their new location always loved that they served Gunther's ice cream and the plethora of desert options they have, including milkshakes, smoothies, ice cream sandwich, banana splits, and more.

    There are very few ice cream shops in the Bay Area as cute and colorful as Double Rainbow Cafe. Not only do they have delicious ice cream and other treats, but this place is cute as a button. The owners, who also own Majestic Cafe as well as Rainbow Froyo, are great at creating the most family friendly atmosphere to their establishments. They care about giving back to the community by setting up toy donation bins for Christmas and will give you a discount if you do. There is really nothing I love more in supporting a local business than seeing one that is so supportive to others. The ice cream here is great! Double Rainbow ice cream is local to the Bay Area and there are other establishments that sell it, but it is always creamy and delicious. I tried a few of the seasonal flavors like the gingerbread and the peppermint candy cane. I love holiday flavors! My wife had an ice cream sandwich that was quite unique with brioche bread, ice cream and toppings, and then it is pressed in a panini machine. It's very good! We sat at a table with ice cream chairs while Christmas music played. It's the perfect setting for good times with your family!

    Solid, cutesy, ice cream parlor. Food: They had the regular stuff and some specialties, such as their fruit freezes and grilled ice cream sandwich. The fruit freeze was really good. I didn't have the ice cream sandwich, but it looked delicious and I'm definitely trying that next time. Service: Service was solid. There was a pretty long line, and they were able to get everyone through fairly quickly. Ambiance: Definitely kid friendly. I don't know if I would go here if it was just me. But if you have kids, they'll love it. There's a lot of cool ice cream decorated seating and places to take pictures. Verdict: Take your kids here, they'll get a kick out of it.

    Very solid ice cream spot with uniquely decorated space. Second time coming here and the ice cream choices aren't anything special but the quality of their ice cream is really good. I normally don't like birthday cake ice cream but this one was different. They used real cake in the ice cream. Dine-in experience is unique and very kid friendly. I highly recommend trying to this place when around the area.

    Greeted upon arrival. Clean shop with cute seatings and tables. Lots of fun seasonal flavors for their ice cream and even a midnight vanilla cone that was black. I got thr almond joy while hubby got the taro.

    We came and took our Granddaughter here for a scoop of Ice Cream located in Benicia, CA. The place is nice and clean and very kid friendly. The layout is nice and service was great. She ate her ice in cream there while being excited about the table and seats that appeared to look like a Sundae or Banana Split and ice cream. She very much enjoyed this place.

    Taro ice cream plush strawberry fruit freeze. Refreshing.

    Simple next door ice cream shop with plenty of flavors. My favorites are taro ice cream on top of the real guava fruit freeze. Fantastic and refreshing tropical flavors. Today they are almost out of guava so I got strawberry fruit freeze instead topped with taro ice cream. I find that combining a scoop of ice cream plus a scoop of fruit freeze balances the creaminess of the ice cream and makes it a super refreshing treat!

    I like walking my dogs in benicia. This place is on our route! I appreciate this place because they have White pistachio flavored ice cream. They also serve gunthers. They have waffle cones that are different flavors like lavender, red velvet, and birthday cake. They have seats inside that are in the shape of ice cream and cones. Service is friendly and efficient. great location on the main street.

    Stopped by for the first time while walking down 1st Street and was pleasantly surprised. We were curious about the flavor selection and ended up trying two--both were great. The place is clean, well-organized, and packed with a wide variety of ice cream flavors. The staff was friendly and offered samples, which helped us decide. Even with a line, service was quick and efficient. I'll definitely be coming back!

    A Benicia staple for dessert! The decor inside was very colorful and cute! If the right food influencer found it I think it could be a viral hit online. Double Rainbow Cafe offers a lot of dessert beyond ice cream. We had trouble deciding but ultimately chose the pumpkin ice cream in a black vanilla cone and the grilled smores ice cream sandwich. They also had a variety of coffee desserts. I was tempted by the tiramisu drink. The desserts were very sweet. The grilled s'mores was made to order. The brioche was very soft. It took a couple bites to get some of the chocolate. Then it did taste like a s'mores! I like how they have an ongoing monthly fundraiser. Certain desserts will have 15% of the proceeds go to a local cause. I was quite amused by the written description of one of them. It was something along the lines of ""The Evil Landlord". We'll likely be coming back at some point if we are craving dessert in the evening before they close at 9pm.

We ended up with those and a few stickers before ordering a brown sugar cinnamon latte (on recommendation from the barista) and a giant mint chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was really big.

Since we've been boycotting a certain coffee establishment with the mermaid logo, and our once coffee spot that is now owned by a private equity firm, we wanted to go to a locally-owned coffee shop and support them instead. My friend, who also happens to live in Martinez, found this spot on Yelp and we all drove here. We arrived there with a couple of hours to spare before they closed. It's a small, charming and quaint coffee shop with plenty to offer like baked goods and pastries. The young lady working at the counter was friendly, accommodating and provided us with answers to our questions and explained their menu. My Martinez friend mentioned that he wasn't aware this place even existed and that his kids went to school just a couple blocks away. They've been in business for 13 years, and she actually graduated from the same school that his kids went to. I ordered an Iced Pistachio Latte (not too sweet), while my friends ordered a hot drink (regular latte, I believe) and another iced drink. And yes, one can ask to customize the sweetness level to your preference. We also got a slice of Pistachio Nutella Coffee Cake and a Strawberry Coffee Cake. Coffee is good (that's all we can ask for) and she gave us a generous portion of the coffee cake since there was three of us to share the cake with. My friend said he would definitely return again since he knew this place existed and continue to support local businesses.

The cafe is a nice, large place that has both a casual and classic feel to it. It has pictures on the walls of old downtown Benecia. You order at the counter and the staff is cheerful and helpful. They have a wonderful selection of coffee drinks, both seasonal and non-seasonal. I got to try a few of them. The major standout to me was their Jalapeño mocha. I know it sounds crazy, but whatever they do here works beautifully. Its flavor profile has both spicy and sweet chocolate to it that I've never had in a mocha before. Also, the spice level is not bad. It's just a little kick of spice! I also tried their gingerbread latte and their butterbeer latte. The butterbeer is very sweet with a strong butterscotch flavor. I loved it! Their gingerbread latte was the perfect amount spices and sweetness as well. For food, I tried the breakfast burrito with the chili verde and their avocado toast. Both were exactly what I wanted and were delicious. I will definitely be returning to Majestic Cafe the next time I'm in Benecia.

Once the correct drink was located, instead of a normal clarification, I was corrected with a snide attitude and visible annoyance from the staff behind the counter. I work in healthcare. I deal with stressed, confused, sick, frightened, and sometimes outright rude people every day. Clarifying questions are part of interacting with human beings. A customer politely asking about an order should not be treated like an inconvenience. What struck me most was the atmosphere of hostility and intolerance over something incredibly minor. I even noticed another customer apologizing repeatedly just for asking questions about her own order. That says a lot about the environment. Everyone makes mistakes -- customers and employees alike. Starbucks orders get mixed up sometimes everywhere. That's normal. What shouldn't be normal is visible contempt, eye-rolling, dirty looks, or making customers feel like they're burdens for speaking up politely. Some of these employees would benefit from remembering that basic customer interaction requires patience, emotional regulation, and professionalism. If a simple clarification question first thing in the morning creates that much resentment, something is off culturally at this location. People are exhausted enough already. A little basic decency goes a long way. On another day with other staff, this place can get 5 stars. I just felt something had to be said it was a little over the top.
