    Vegan & Gluten free ice cream that taste quite good? Sign me up! Pricey for 2 scoops at $10+ w/ tax. Anything coffee for me. It tasted like roasted coconut too. Not sure if you like that but maybe they used coconut sugar? Mint brownie was refreshing but coarse. The brownie was not soft and chewy, it was more like "rocks." Not bad, just weird to chew ice cream and crackling. Friendly service.

    With the weekend heat wave, we were enjoying Larkspur Landing with the family and decided to try Frankie & Jo's. To our surprise, this cute ice cream outpost is entirely vegan friendly and plant based..what does that mean? The ingredients used come specifically from plants ~ the ice cream base is 'gum-free coconut milk and organic, house-made oat milk or solely coconut milk'. FYI, if this is something that you've been searching for or this just isn't your jam. The flavors are so unique ~ like Cardamom Apple Pie for the Fall and California Cabin (black pepper cardamom shortbread cookie) to resemble cozying up by the fire surrounded by trees. They have a kids cup which is perfect for adults and littles alike, and since this is a grab & go, seating outside. We went with the Supercookies & Cream, Brown Sugar Vanilla, and the seasonal flavor 'Candy Bag' filled with yummy vegan peanut butter cup, coconut, and toffee candies with dry burned caramel. Very good, kiddo approved, and tummy-conscious approved. To note, popular flavors do sell out because this is a small and mighty spot, but there's a little something for everyone to enjoy. Elevated pricing, high quality, something different to taste and enjoy. Larkspur Landing does have parking, tight on weekends.

    Frankie and Jo's has aways been a treat when visiting Seattle, so when I found out there was a singular new location in the Bay Area I jumped up from my couch and flapped my hands in excitement! To start, you should know they only serve vegan plant-based icecream here, so it's perfect if you have lactose intolerant friends like me! The next time I was in Marin, we swung by and got the Rhubarb and Yuzu, and Mint flavors. It's not as creamy as normal icecream, but the texture is close enough that you might not even notice it's made from oat and coconut milk. We've tried many flavors before and you can't really go wrong with any! The actual store is super small, basically only big enough to walk in and order your icecream and then get out. It is located in the Marin County Mart, so there's plenty of nice outdoor seating to enjoy your icecream at.

    Everything is sold out

    We absolutely love Frankie & Jo's ice cream--ever since we first tried it in Seattle, we were hooked. When the Larkspur location opened in July 2023, we were so excited and have been coming regularly ever since. But after nearly two years, it's honestly baffling how poorly this location is managed when it comes to inventory. They're always sold out of so many things--most frustratingly, the waffle cones. It doesn't matter what day of the week or time of day you come, the answer is always the same: "We sold out earlier today." This has been a consistent issue since the shop opened, and at this point, it just feels like they don't even try. And we're not even talking about seasonal flavors--it's the basics. Imagine going to a gas station and they're constantly out of gas. That's what this feels like. To top it off, the staff often seems indifferent or even dismissive when you ask about missing items. For a brand that has such a loyal following and amazing product, it's frustrating to see this kind of experience at one of their locations. We love the ice cream, but we're beyond disappointed with the Marin store.

    Not a regular milk ice cream, based on a coconut milk. Great service- let u sample. Amazing ambiance. Interesting flavors, not common flavors. $$$$

    I don't have a sweet tooth, and I'm not fully enrolled in the whole "plant-based" movement. But, I got to give it to Frankie & Jo's their ice cream is amazing! Their flavors are extremely unique, and their employees are super friendly!

    Amazed to find a vegan ice cream place- my first experience of such a store. Super cute, formerly was a Three Twins Ice Cream location. Loved the outdoor seating area with a fireplace. Some of the flavors of the pistachio got a bit overpowered by the coconut cream base- and the high sugar content was a bit overwhelming. But the strawberry was amazing. Will return to try the chocolate soon.

    This use to be an ice cream spot by Three Brothers (miss them). I'm glad ice cream is back and it's vegan! It's still a to-go counter. Lots of picnic tables are outside of you choose to eat your ice cream and chill. Pints are ready to go if you're committed to a flavor. I recommend trying a few before making a decision. I'm a chocolate fan but a cup of strawberry milk and a pint of California Cabin came home with me. The staff are friendly and happy to give samples. I'll be back. Stay cool!

    $12 for this

    Really really small little spot. Not many selection for topping and it was pricey for what I got. One good thing about this place is it's vegan!! Great for those who cannot tolerate lactose as well!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with big smiles and a genuine "welcome" that you just don't find everywhere. The staff was incredibly patient as we sampled flavors, which was much appreciated! What really sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere. It's so much more than just an ice cream shop. They have these awesome kid-oriented art activities that kept my little ones busy and creative, plus free arcade games that brought back some serious nostalgia for the adults. It's the perfect spot to actually relax while the kids have a blast. I have to obviously mention the most important part: the ice cream. It is phenomenal. They've developed their own recipes and you can tell they put a lot of thought into them. The ube is a must try! It's vibrant, earthy, and sweet--hands down the best ube ice cream I've had in the city. And I have to shout out the cookie dough - this isn't your standard grocery store version. The dough chunks are huge and have a unique, homemade taste that pairs perfectly with the base. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot with an amazing vibe and even better treats, this is it. We will definitely be back!

Ice cream is fine but mill valley swirl is much better. I think they got new ownership somewhat recently and this is a classic play to just milk the customer base (pun intended).

On my first visit to this location I consumed my entire pizza in one sitting. On this visit, two of us each brought home half of our pizzas. The next morning I woke up to "these pizzas are great for breakfast too!". As I walked back out to the car following my visit to apizza I nodded at the salad place one door down saying "our meal would've cost twice as much there" and it would have. Is it "fast food"? Yes, but fast food that's in a different league from most. Good stuff this place is offering.

A few folks outside some inside. This made ordering quick and easy, and the food was prepared quickly; a benefit for us, perhaps not for the business. The place is still attractive and clean, with plenty of tables outside and inside. I did not that, as my last visit, there is no shade really provided for the outside seating, save ONE small umbrella. Ugh - not sure what the issue is, and being it was a sunny day, we opted to sit inside as much as the patio called to us. The inside is nice, too, though, and there is easy access to the soda fountain machine and condiments. There are still self-ordering kiosks, large digital menus, and of course, you can also order through the app (even if standing inside!) or at the counter. We ordered a bit of each - side, main, and dessert! There was a portabella "'Shroom" burger (with a crisp-fried portobello mushroom filled with melted muenster and cheddar cheeses, topped with lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce on a toasted potato bun), cheese fries, a mac 'n' cheese, chicken bites, and a Key lime shake, a special offering! Damn the calories, full taste ahead! The food was indeed prepared quickly and served hot. The Shroom burger was my favorite last time, and for taste and texture this time was also delicious and good. The cheeses inside were melty-gooey, and the mushroom crispy. It was, though, much smaller than I remember - it fit within my hand! A con, against the price, for what is a nice option for veggies or anyone wanting a change in their burger. The chicken bites were smaller than expected in size, more like nuggets, but tasty. The mac 'n' cheese was also tasty, but also a bit small for the price. The fries are always good, and in this case, you need to dig to the bottom early on to scrape some of the melted cheese that dripped down back onto the fries. Very yummy. But the best part was the Key lime shake, a flavor I just love (cheesecake is my favorite iteration of this flavor) but this milkshake satisfied me greatly. A little pricier than their everyday shakes, but how often so you find a unique flavor like this! A win! Overall, a solid 4-stars for food flavor and quality, and also for ambience and environment. Price wise, it was about $40 for two of us, so not a great bargain, but given the economy today I have the same financial shock at other places as well. Still, a nice treat and we left happy.
