I love this place for few reasons: 1. Its the only good icecream place open till late 2. Meadowland closes at 9:00pm so if you have dinner by 9:30pm or 10:00pm and wanna walk downtown Pleasanton this is the best place. 3. Icecreams are trial and error and I had the strawberry with lot of toppings and it was out of world. 4. Gulab Jamun also I tried and was just ok. You can skip it 5. The chocolate and bananas one was ok too. Place is pricey but worth it ! Sharing recommended ! read more

It says open at 5:30. Get there with my daughter at six, the lights are off. The door is unlocked. You walk in and they're told we need some time to set up please leave It's great when your child is crying because your team can't get there on time Be better at what you do or close forever go out of business read more

Got their gulab jamun/graham cracker ice cream rolls and they were very tasty. Loved watching them make it in front of me, and they even let you add toppings for free! read more

I got the boba recommended to me and it was uncooked and not good. The employees were nice though and the location was good.

The place itself was nice and clean, with plenty of seats. The staff were a bit rude pointing us to the kiosk and offering no more conversation. The ice cream is very pretty, but a bit hard to eat. It is quite expensive and too large of a serving. A smaller, cheaper option would be appreciated. The number of toppings you can add is great though. read more

Only one employee there, and they're doing a great job! Still greats all guests, even when working hard completing all orders. Did make a mistake on someones, but immediately apologized and offered a new one to the guest, no questions asked read more

Bunch of super slow and rude guys are working with no sense of customer service, nobody' know your order, I placed a to go order thru door dash and waited there for 15mins, when I asked the asian looking girl who was extremely rude about my order she refused and later on went inside and got my order which was prepared don't know when but was kept in refrigerator. Won't recommend this place. read more

I've recently tried a few rolled ice cream spots and Icicles was definitely my least favorite of the bunch. Most rolled ice cream portions are too large, that's not really the issue. It was that the flavor of their coffee option was almost sickly sweet. It tasted inexpensive and had an almost chemical air to it. This is a busy location so having a single tablet wasn't ideal and they would probably benefit from a large monitor that lists which order is ready, versus saying the name. All that being said, I didn't eat more than a couple bites so I probably won't try another Icicles location in the future. read more

I ordered an Icicle for delivery with a 7-minute drop-off. When it arrived, it was smashed and mixed like Cold Stone ice cream instead of being rolled as it normally is when I order in store. It seemed rushed or poorly prepared, and the texture and taste were noticeably worse because of it. This was disappointing, especially since I've had it properly made before. Orderered 12/21at 8:49 pm ( Ubereats) Girls just wanna have Flan flavor read more

This is actually my first time trying Icicles! Really thick and creamy, love the texture. I love how you get to choose so many toppings; my favorite is cheesecake bites and mochi! I got the raspberry one and shared with my friend. I loved it! Definitely cannot finish by myself, need to share with someone lol read more

This Icicles location is in downtown Pleasanton. Parking is mainly street parking, so it may be hit or miss. Not much service, as ordering is through the tablet off to the side of the front counter. Small little shop with a decent amount of seating. This is my first time at this particular location, but I have been to multiple of their other ones though. I opted their jasmine cream tea with boba and Matcha Berry / Oreo Blast rolled ice creams. The drink tasted like I was drinking some type of glue / paste mixed with water - 3 sips and I had to toss it because it did not taste edible. The matcha rolled ice cream was decent, but the strawberry was a bit overpowering over the matcha. I did not personally try the Oreo one. Employees are not that friendly or welcoming either. Their structure seemed a bit unorganized because they were working on my order and I only received 1 rolled ice cream and they were finishing off my 2nd one, so I waited there after receiving the first one, but then they started to work on someone else's order first before coming back to my 2nd rolled ice cream after. By that time, both rolled ice creams were starting to melt. Hard to flag an employee down also, as they avoid eye contact and ignore you. When you do get ahold of an employee for any concerns or questions, they have an attitude towards you like you are inconveniencing them. read more

I don't recommend this location, terrible service you're better off going elsewhere. My kids had to use the restroom and they have a no bathroom policy if you don't buy. read more

This place was HOPPING, even late at night. There were SOOO many people inside and lined up. It's definitely liked and popular for a reason. There were many places to stand or sit. You can easily watch them work and even talk with them while they mix things in and roll the ice cream up. It's surprising how many of them they can fit in a cup. You can ask for your own creation or get one of the already named ones they have available. The taste of the rolled up ice cream with the mix ins was out of this world! read more

I tried both the butterface and nutella flavors and they were super yummy! The portions were very good as well. My friends and I shared two ice creams and it was perfect for an afternoon sweat treat. The employees were very friendly and my order came out fast. I come here pretty often and service has been consistent. I have also tried the mango coconut flavor and would definitely recommend it; it reminded me of my favorite thai dessert, mango sticky rice! read more

My kids like the desert they serve. The workers are nice and courteous. Place is clean and well kept. However the music is not the best selection and whom ever set the bass is an idiot. With a low graded speaker trying to push out good sound is doing a piss poor job. Loose the bass and everything else would sound better. And the volume is way too loud for a small enclosure. read more

I came here with my two kids. They each created their own special ice cream mixture. They had fun creating their recipe and they enjoyed watching them make it. Most importantly the ice cream was delicious. I wouldn't say it's healthy but it's fun to have as a treat. The workers were very nice. It wasn't busy so they were able to take time to explain how to order and the different menu items. It was a fun atmosphere with places to sit and make a mess. It looked to be getting crowded as we left however. I'm glad we weren't there during a rush of people. read more

We arrived on a Saturday night. There was one customer ahead of us when we arrived and nobody sitting inside (no chairs). The employees gave the impression that it is a kiosk-only establishment. Ordering took a long time since it was our first time ordering and we ordered 5 rolled ice creams. The ice cream was tasty. The service was not. 1. Turn off the explicit rap music. Lots of children present. I'm sure the people dining at Strizzi's didn't appreciate it either. Why would you blast explicit music in a family restaurant??? 2. Employees were bumping into each other and didn't seem to have any organization. One guy dropped a blender full of mango. He spent a ridiculous amount of time complaining about it and trying to figure out how to clean it up, kept disappearing in the back where he was muttering obscenities loud enough for all to hear. At one point he grabbed a mop but the mop didn't make it to the front. Meanwhile, the other staff members were sidestepping the mess, definitely a safety issue. In total it probably took him 20 minutes to clean the spill up...assuming he got it done shortly after we left. At one point 3 of the employees walked to the back and nobody was working on orders. One order was started and just left on the ice tray. 3. I watch almost 30 minutes of this chaos...because one of our orders was forgotten. Trying to get anyone's attention is challenging because they don't actually look at the customers. The one exception was Arha. Arha was helpful and did a great job rolling the ice cream and double checking on the toppings. Based on this visit, the owner has some training and cleaning up to do. Maybe some surprise visits on a Saturday night after 9:00. read more

Yes I like sprinkles. Okay so moving on: this is a nice treat for anyone bored with normal ice cream on a hot day! Icicles has been around for a while now, so I've been able to see the difference in the pre-pandemic vs. COVID-safe experience. While it's a bit of a bummer to pay the same price (which I think is pretty high) without the fun of seeing it made, the actual quality of the rolled ice cream hasn't taken a hit. I came with my siblings the other day - there's a socially distanced line at the store and a big menu board behind the counter. Pick what you want from a simple number based order system with a limited number of toppings (hint: max it out, with sprinkles included), and wait outside for your name to be called. Downtown Pleasanton is a great place to walk around, so be sure to enjoy the area too while you treat yourself! read more

Great spot for ice cream, especially if you're a fan of ice cream rolls! We tried "It's a Rasp" and "The Berry Squad," and both were good. The service is decent, but it can get pretty slow when the place is crowded. Overall, we had a good experience and will definitely go back to try more of their flavors! read more

I never write reviews unless they're good, but I am truly baffled by the terrible service and sub-par product received at our icicles visit this evening. We've eaten here before at their old location, and had a fantastic experience, but not this time. The staff was completely disorganized and frazzled, putting DoorDash orders ahead of customers waiting at the store. A couple employees were training and it was clear their trainers were not very constructive/supportive as we saw them get frustrated and snarky towards the trainees multiple times. The guy overseeing the new employee making one of our ice creams saw him totally mess up where 3/7 rolls were just shreds of ice cream and encouraged him to just stuff it in the bowl-- I paid $15 for that ice cream. Asked for a lid on the way out and they looked at me, ignored me, until I asked louder and they were forced to acknowledge me. There were several other frustrated/unsatisfied customers voicing their concerns to the employees that just did not show interest in remedying the situation or addressing their concerns. I will not be returning, nor will I ever recommend this place to anyone. read more

This was my first time trying this style of rolling ice cream or stir-fried ice cream. There's all types of combinations but I settled on Nutella N Chill which is crunchy graham crackers and the famous chocolate hazelnut spread. What can I say about it? It's nice that they have limitless toppings. It's basically a hard ice cream. It's different, not your typical ice cream spot. So if you prefer soft serve or a creamy type ice cream. Icicles isn't the place. But being the ice cream traditionalist that I am, it's only ok. read more

Icicles is a unique concept on ice cream and desserts! Due to COVID, you unfortunately do not get to have the experience of watching them physically roll the ice cream, but it's an interesting thing to witness during regular times. I ordered the "All Fudged Up" and you're allowed to order up to five toppings. My issue is how skimpy this location is with their toppings!! They could not cut the strawberries into the smallest microscopic pieces. Along with other toppings, everything was cut so tiny you really didn't even notice or taste the toppings were there, unfortunately. It's almost $10 for the tub of rolled ice cream and honestly you're paying for the novelty of it all. If they weren't so skimpy with the toppings, I would feel it was more justified to pay the prices here. The ice cream itself is okay, but it really didn't make the trip, price, and time spent waiting for it worth it. I heard other locations of ICICLES are better in terms of toppings, so I would maybe try those locations instead! read more

It just takes too much time to get your ice cream here. Plus it's overpriced at $10.50 each. There were two orders in front of ours and it felt like a 30+ minute wait. The concept is cool. The people who work there are working hard, but in the end, I Would have preferred to have had cash on hand and gone to Meadowlark dairy. read more

What a fun concept! With lots of flavors and toppings, Icicles offers a custom experience where you end up with a big cup of very Instagrammable rolled ice cream and deliciousness! There's a decent amount of seating and it makes for a good dessert after you've had dinner on the Pleasanton Main Street. Since they make each one custom, there can be a bit of a wait, but the staff is efficient. Although Icicles offers novelty, I'm more of a sucker for the kind of ice cream and froyo that has the really soft, almost melted kind of texture. That and I felt like the flavors I've tried haven't been as flavorful here. For the steep price, I'd much rather get a cup of creamy froyo where I add my own toppings and get multiple flavors, but that's just my personal preference. Definitely worth checking out though! read more
