Finally got to see their new location across the street and love all the upgrades! There's several cute spots to sit at and take photos in to make your post "insta-worthy". The staff was nice and quick, despite the small order counter. There's several menu boards throughout advertising a smorgasbord of options. I got the Salted Caramel Camel Barn, which was pretty good! I wish there was a bit more ice cream for the price, but a portion of that purchase goes toward charity, so understandable. The coffee flavored ones were also pretty good but you can def taste the coffee. It's definitely a place to visit when you're walking through Benicia. Will be back!

Really craving ice cream and we decided to take a drive to Benicia. This place is so cute ! They have little areas for some cute photo ops . I really liked how staff took their time to give you options if you're not sure what you want. I was torn between a Hawaiian shaved iice and a sundae but ultimately really wanted a Sundae. I wasn't feeling all the toppings that came with it but they offered me different choices to swap it out for . Staff is really friendly and I'm definitely coming back to try the Hawaiian shaved ice.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Given the pandemic, cupcakes seemed a much better option than sheet cake. We ordered buko pandan and vanilla. Not only were the cupcakes beautiful & delicious, but the customer service was excellent. She delivered the order herself the day of, on time and intact. Will definitely be ordering again for future events!

Autumn Picnic is my current favorite--and my sympathies if you're reading this when it's not one of the seasonal flavors because you are seriously missing out. Put it on your calendar and hope it comes around again next autumn! Mmm, local honey plus fig jam, with a goat cheese frosting. It was cupcake crack, people. The blue moon with orange cream cheese frosting was also an unexpected awesomeness. But don't worry, if you are a classic flavor lover, you're covered too--the Vanilla Cloud and Ultimate Chocolate are anything but plain vanilla. I look forward to trying additional flavors! Working with Angela to place my order was super easy. She responded to email really promptly, answered my questions, and absolutely delivered on the promise of fantastic cupcakes. Whether you are ordering them for a party, a wedding, or just to spoil yourself, you are in for quite a treat!
