    funny enough i was contemplating the rise and fall of the rolled ice cream trend earlier today. got dinner with a friend and he wanted ice cream after so we came here. it's exactly what you'd expect. toppings seem to be unlimited. we should not have been trusted with this much power, we created an abomination. liked the mochi though. we ordered on an ipad, there was only one staff member diligently making ice creams - he was nice! there's maybe 3 tables to sit at inside.

    went here last Sunday to have an ice cream! This was the closest ice cream which was walking distance from where we stayed! The one we usually go to ran out of base so we walked down to mission st! I ended up getting wake me up which was hazelnut coffee with pretzels and I forgot what else I got because they didn't have waffle pieces We went to have a seats inside their shop and finished our ice cream there Best alternative to the place we usually go to on Sutter call Ma but it would've been nice even though the sign said no indoor dining that the floor was tidied up at the least

    Me and my girlfriend were out walking around downtown last night. Decided we wanted something sweet so I recommended icicles and ordered the strawberry fantasy It was really good and flavorful and finished.

    Rolled ice cream is amazing. I absolutely love the ice cream from here. The people who work here always do a good job. The only downside is the actual location isn't nice and sitting and eating your ice cream there isn't ideal due to the loud sounds of them preparing the other people's ice cream orders and the street noises. There's a park nearby though.

    I always get ice cream from here since Icicles is one of my favorite ice cream shops... but compared to the San Mateo location, this store is always very slow even if it's not a busy time. We waited for our order, then they missed one of our orders, then by the time we called the order up, they said they missed it and they even ran out of the topping I wanted for my ice cream. Some customers are just waiting in line, and the workers are just nowhere to be found...

    Icicles is one of my favorite dessert places in the Bay Area. I love the unique way they create ice cream and roll them up kind of like sushi. The ice cream has a smooth creamy texture. I especially love the selection of toppings that's available that can add your own flavor to this amazing treat. Be sure to visit when you get a chance.

    It's pricey but it's the rolled ice cream experience you're paying for really. It's fun to watch them make the ice cream and roll it in front of you. $11 for a bowl is a lot but you do get whatever toppings. I got the berried in mango sorbet with strawberries, mochi, blueberries, popping boba, and lychee jelly. I thought it was really good and there was chunks of raspberries in the sorbet that I really liked. You can get as many toppings as you want which I liked because it made the whole thing better bc each bite is different and fun. There's no indoor dining and it's gets busy just because they have to make each ice cream right after you order.

I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

The Thai tea custard sauce added a bit of sweetness to it. The mango tango was sooo good! I loved the coconut ice cream (it's a shaved from a block of ice cream so it's really fluffy). The fresh mango was served on the side in addition to a small bowl of coconut, sticky rice and additional mango sauce. Service was as efficient as possible. Server was helpful too.
