    Taking over the old ice cream place is this new ice cream place. Maybe not so new since Humphrey Slocombe is a chain. First things first. Be prepared to wait. Got here at 5:30pm and there was a line out the door! Higher prices than the other location at almost $6 a scoop. 3 stars because they didn't know their flavors and only gave one sample per person. My friend really wanted to buy the Secret Breakfast cake but the lady couldn't tell us what flavors other than secret breakfast were in it. Like she didn't know the flavor of the cake or whether or not there was another flavor on top. My friend ended up getting the Harlequin Cake which was chocolate malt and strawberry ice cream for almost $60. We both felt it was overpriced.

    Yum, ice cream! Interesting ice cream flavors and an encouragement to try as many as you like! :) I definitely tried quite a few before I could decide on which ones I wanted, since they sounded so good. I ended up with their classic of secret breakfast, and one of their collabs with Fieldwork called blackberry parfait! They were both great. The secret breakfast was sweet and creamy, and the blackberry parfait was a bit tart and a little beer-y! I loved the flavor. I also liked their vietnamese coffee and tahitian vanilla from a previous visit. The coffee is not as sweet, and the vanilla is a classic ice cream flavor (can't go wrong!). The customer service is great, really friendly and chatty. They were sweet and let me pick 2 flavors for my single scoop size. Sick!! I have noticed though that sometimes the ice cream is a bit more grainy and icy (unpleasant), while other times it's much more creamy and smooth. I hope that the ice cream quality becomes more consistent. The area is very chill and comfortable, lots of space to sit outside!

    Dropping off my kids friend at Bay Meadows and saw an open parking spot - decided to park and get the boys ice cream - there wasn't a line as it was a weekday at 3:30pm which was nice - specific flavors are unnecessary becasue any that we've tried have all been great, even the vanilla, which my son often gets. The scoops are a good size and the ice cream tastes fresh, no freezer flavor, so the turnaround on the ice cream must be pretty good - either they dump it or sell it all - at these prices it is a relief - not cheap but worth every penny for unusual flavors and good quality - almost makes us not miss Tin Pot that was here before. Sorry that no one could wait for a pic before taking a bite - but yeah, it is that yummy!

    Probably would like it but this location is almost never open. I've walked by this spot 5 times now on different days and different times, only open once. Meanwhile the Redwood City location is always open during business hours

    Tahitian Vanilla flavor
    Cyn L.

    First time at this new location with my 6 year old daughter. There were not many typical flavors to choose from that kids would be familiar with or like- basically just Tahitian Vanilla and Strawberry something, which the employee said "basically tastes like strawberry cheesecake." We both got the Tahitian Vanilla which was delicious, but they did have a promotional sign posted by the ice cream that bothered me. It said "Make it gay sundae" with pink fluff and fruit loops. How is that gay? Do the FRUIT loops make it gay? Didn't sit right with me. Even if they're trying to use gay in the happy term, they knew what they were doing when they made that sign. 3 stars for the good ice cream.

    Found out about this place through a friend. They said they swung by with their family over an hour before closing ... and the doors were shut. Just popped by with my kids around 4pm and they're closed lol Waited about 20 minutes & they finally emerged to let us in along with the other folks who waited. Only one person working, super rude & uninterested. Bummer

    $9.50 for this dinky float. Yeah it was good but can we talk about how ridiculous that is????
    Mandi F.

    I'm torn. They're good but they're just so expensive. $9.50 for a dinky float? I get that you give me the bottle of coke with it but can I just get an option that doesn't do that for a cheaper price? Or list your prices outside on your board? It feels sneaky otherwise. Thanksssss.

    Ice cream is good, but this location is plagued by a guy who acts real stuck up and frankly has 0 customer service. Which is a wild choice for a place charging $6.25 for a scoop. I get it can be hard to find people when you likely don't pay much, but my word. Hire anyone else.

    Christmas Xmas Story (seasonal) and Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream

    We love going to this location as it's not usually crowded. They have a variety of unique flavors and offer free taste! Our go-to is vietnamese coffee, hongkong milk tea or the seasonal Christmas story.

    There's a lot of ice cream choices in the peninsula so this is way over priced for the limited flavors and size.

They offer two distinct styles of soft serve: Flavor Burst, which is vanilla custard swirled with a flavored syrup for a striped effect, and Frozen Yogurt, which features whole-flavored soft serve. All options are available in either a cup or a cone. - Chocolate Burst -- vanilla frozen yogurt swirled with chocolate syrup along the edges, creating a classic striped effect; portion size was generous (easily double the size of the cup), ideal for those who enjoy a vanilla-forward base with just a hint of extra flavor On a later Friday evening, the shop was still buzzing with customers. The line moved quickly, with just a few groups ahead of us. Pricing falls in line with standard Bay Area dessert spots: $7 for a small, $8 for a medium, and $9.50 for a large as of 2025. Service was fast and friendly. While there's no indoor seating, there's a spacious patio area with plenty of tables and chairs outside. I'll definitely be coming back soon to try more of their flavors -- the Chunky Fudge Brownie and Caramel Fudge Vanilla both caught my eye.

So I order another flavor. He's filling up the cup, meanwhile I'm yelling "THAT'S ENOUGH!" Still continued filling it. I asked him to throw out 1/2 of it. Attitude #1. Then I ask for almonds, and when he SIGHED as though my request is causing an inconvenience, I lost it. Yes, I cursed at him and walked out becausethe overt disrespect was palpabe. You folks that work with the public, umfortunately cannot have bad days. It is not your customers' fault if you are in your feels. This kid needs to be TRAINED on proper customer service. Will never come back. Instead I'm going to Corner Yogurt in RWC where Eduardo IS ALWAYS GRACIOUS! Do better!

If you're unsure of which flavor to get, there is no limit to how many flavors you can try. My personal favorite is the Strawberry Coconut Water Sherbet. Light and creamy, lots of strawberry and coconut flavor, and It's dairy free. The customer service is always great and friendly. Their attention to detail for allergies is top tier. In store they also use a new scoop, wash their hands and even get a fresh scoop from a new pint to avoid cross contamination. It does get busy at times, but it's worth the wait. Trying new flavors is an experience in itself. If you don't feel like waiting in line, you can always go in and just get a pint from the available flavors in the freezer by the door.

The texture is incredibly creamy, which balances out the bold, unique flavors perfectly. I tried the Pot of Gold and the Freckled Mint. Both were delicious and well-crafted. I've visited both the Burlingame and Hayes Valley locations--be prepared that there isn't really seating at either, but the Burlingame spot has a very hip, high-energy atmosphere. The Highlights: * Staff: Incredibly patient and friendly (crucial when you're trying to decide between wild flavors!). * Dietary Friendly: Great vegan options that don't sacrifice creaminess. * Value: Very decent pricing for the quality and creativity you get. If you want ice cream that's "different" and daring, this is your place.
