    I would say this store has potential. From their sample flight, I've tried malted chocolate, Kapi, Malai, Banana Gulab and Lotis and Rose. I wanted to give them 5 stars for the flavors - Kapi was definitely a strong coffee, Malai has the classic Indian flavots of cardamom and saffron and the pistacchio flavor was abundant. Banana gulab tasted like eating fresh bananas. Lotis and Rose was also flavorful. The space could use some TLC. There were 2 customers taking some thing to go during my visit, but even if the store was not busy, I needed to clean the table I was using. There were only 2 tables inaide, one that coupd seat 6-8 people, and a small round table that we used. Will I come back? I would not, hence the 3 stars, not because I needed to clean the table, but because the ice cream themselves were too sweet for me. I hope they can nudge down on the sugar.

    Great spot for indian-inspired ice cream in the east bay. We got the flight to try 5 different flavors and a doggy cup. Everything was excellent- the original kulfi flavor was definitely the standout and tasted just like a Matka kulfi you might get on the streets of India. I'm glad they're constantly experimenting with new combinations - can't wait to come back and try more!

    We visited Koolfi Creamery for the first time recently and it was a great experience. I was thoroughly impressed by the unique ice cream flavors and thought the dessert options were creative. They do limit you to 2 samples, but I suppose that is another excuse to come back and try out new ice cream flavors. I ended up getting a mango flavored ice cream and it had a vibrant, fruity flavor and was quite refreshing. Customer service was friendly and adequate, although the shop seemed understaffed. I wish they had more seating indoors and outdoors, but they have a few tables and benches. The decor is bright and welcoming and appears to match the shop's overall vibe. We enjoyed the ice cream treats quite a bit and opted to purchase 2 more pints of other flavors to bring back home. I'd definitely recommend checking out Koolfi Creamery and I'm looking forward to visiting the SF location someday too.

    Koolfi creamery offers an array of unique ice cream flavors with an Indian twist! They also offer an array of different items like other desserts and coffee. Came here after visiting Habibis Birria because nothing beats a sweet treat after a meal. 2 samples is allowed for each person. I tried their guava and toasted marshmallow. My partner tried mango lassi and koolfi. All great flavors! For me, it was a tough choice. I ultimately chose the guava fresh which had a nice guava taste with a hint of spice from the Indian red chilis. Never thought I'd enjoy spicy ice cream, but this was great! My partner got the mango lassi milkshake which tasted really good! A strong taste of fresh mangoes made into a creamy milkshake. I saw they have banana pudding with gulab jamuns as a flavor. I didn't see it this time, but I hope I came try it one day!

    This is a Indian-inspired ice cream spot with about 15 flavors on the menu and honestly, I hadn't heard of most of them before. I would've loved to sample a few before deciding, but there was just one person working and she was pretty tied up since it was a Saturday afternoon. My friend and I each went with two scoops in a bowl (about $20 total for both of us). Between the two of us, we tried four different flavors and they were all really good unique, but in the best way. The shop itself is clean, with a little bit of bench seating outside and just one table with three chairs. It definitely feels more like a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out. That said, the one employee running the show did a great job keeping things moving. If they had one more person working and maybe a couple more tables, this would've been an easy five-star experience.

    Every ice cream flavor was made with love! The flavors you can't think ever going together, they have made it happen. Jackfruit and coconut? It tasted so good! It's a summer special so try it before it's gone. The flight came out to be around $15 but it was worth it. We liked lychee rose as well and guava with hint of chilli was family favorite, so unique and no flavor disappointed. You can tell they are made with high quality ingredients. I wish they were open past 9pm.

    Cherry, guava chili

    Love all the flavors here! We got double scoops of cherry, mango, watermelon sorbet, and guava chili. The cherry seasonal flavor was sooo good. It's fresh, with nice chunky cherries inside. Guava chili is subtle chili flavor and it's so good and fruit forward. Loved this too. Classic mango you can't go wrong. Watermelon sorbet wasn't too icy and was really flavorful. Looking forward to coming back and trying more flavors!

    Gulab Jamun Sundae

    Koolfi offers one of the most unique flavors an ice cream shop can have and Im looking forward to trying much more of what they have. We came here on a Saturday right before they opened and didn't realize they were still getting ready. We were meeting up with friends so we didn't mind waiting outside the gate. The owner let us know she's still setting up but we are more than welcome to hangout in the patio until they did and she opened the gate for us. It was hot so we were super thankful for the hospitality. After they opened we tried their flavors and you get two scoops per person. This is pretty standard these days especially after Covid. We tried the mango lassi and guava red chilli. Both were delicious but I would recommend mango lassi if you're a first timer. What I ended up trying was the Gulab Jamun Sundae. Let me tell you it was bomb dot com. I was initially disappointed by the price for the portion, but after eating it I understood why it was so small. The flavors were super decadent and rich. That small amount was definitely enough for this sundae. I would recommend trying it at some point during your adventures here at Koolfi. One last bit, there is limited indoor seating and a handful of outdoor seating. Its definitely not a come during peak time with friends place but a pick up and go spot. As for parking you can park in the surrounding neighborhoods so be prepared for a short walk.

    We stopped by after a weekend trip to get some pistachio, mango and a pint of koolfi. The service was friendly as usual and we were quickly helped. We got to sample a few before we got our scoop. Delicious and very fresh ingredients used to make these ice creams

    Amazing service, cute little place right next to the salesforce building, good variety of flavours and they rotate every week. They had guava chilli as a rotating flavour and we loved it, went back again a couple of times to try more flavours, my favourite are malai kulfi and guava chilli

    Will definitely come back! Cute ice cream shop right next door to Habibi's birria, so stopped by after trying that. My flight included (in order Im ranking them): Guava - Im more kf a fruity ice cream person, so this was my favorite. I wished the guava flavor was stronger, but overall really good. Banana pudding - had a very strong banana flavor! And it had donut pieces in it, so was really tasty Salted caramel- another really strong flavor, very caramel-y Cookies and cream- good but needed more cookie flavor Lotus rose - my least favorite. I wanted to like it because who doesnt like pink ice cream, but was lacking flavor You order and can tast 2 samples (max/person). I tasted the classic flavor. And it wasn't for me. But can see why a lot of reviews like it.

    I've had Koolfi Creamery bookmarked for awhile and was surprised that it was next door to the birria restaurant we were eating at! This establishment is LGBTQ+ friendly and POC women owned :) All of the flavors sounded so good and we were really intrigued! We couldn't decide what to get, so we opted for the sampler flight! It comes with your choice of 5 flavors and it was perfect for our party of two! We chose: watermelon mint, cardamom, malai koolfi, guava, and mango lassi. It was a hot day, so the ice cream was melting fast. All of the flavors were delicious and one of a kind! We enjoyed all of them! Our favorites were the Malai Koolfi and Cardamom. They have a hot foods menu and I would like to come back and try something from there as well. The also have a gulab jamun sundae, which sounded awesome! We will definitely be back again to try their other items and grab a pre-packed pint to take back home!

    Great ice cream! I tried the Klassic Koolfi and the seasonal burgundy cherry and chocolate for my 2 samples. I ended up getting a scoop of the mango lassi ice cream, and it tasted exactly like a mango lassi so no complaints there. The flavors are forward, and the texture is creamy. I liked looking through the recipe books on the table in the back. There is a minimum $10 you must spend to use credit card.

    Had the Koolfi and the Kapi (coffee) split single. Very flavorful and creamy. Worth a stop (especially after a quesobirria taco!)

    Do you guys post the weekly flavors somewhere?

    We try to but unfortunately I'm not very consistent at it. It's usually on Insta and FB

    Do they use eggs or gelatin in their ice creams?

    We use eggs in our dairy ice cream made French custard style. Vegan ice creams have no eggs or any animal products.

    The outlet of Ghirardelli Chocolate has decent discounted prices. My first time going to one of…read moretheir stores to find out if it is worth my time to trek on over and purchase the candy from outlet I enjoyed the experience. The staff was a nice group of older individuals working diligently to make sure I purchased every kind of assortment I wanted. I went again recently based on my past experience and enjoyed buy the candy to snack on when I go to the movies. I just bring my own choice of sweets. I get tired of going to the movies and the candy selection is not to my taste. So I bring my own. I will normally purchase water, coffee or soda and always a small bag of popcorn. Then I am being fair to the movie theater concession stand business.

However, if you enter 139th Ave. from E. 14th St., that part is residential. The entrance to the shop is up a small ramp next to the truck dock. Once inside, lots of beautiful displays. Many of the trinkets can be found at their retail store. Love that there's a little cafe in the back that offers sundaes, hot chocolates, milk shakes, and other similar treats. I opted to share a mini Dubai chocholate sundae. That sundae was pretty hearty and costly ($21 tax included). However, it was crunchy and flavorful. Ample parking, clean interior (including the restroom), and friendly staff, will visit again when in the area and looking for a sweet treat. #23/2026

    Generous scoops and great service!…read more This Cold Stone is my family's absolute go-to spot in Hayward when we're craving something sweet. The first thing that stands out here is the service--the staff is always welcoming, fast, and patient, even when the line starts backing up out the door. The ice cream is always fresh, and unlike some other dessert spots, they are definitely not skimpy with the portions or the mix-ins. You get exactly what you pay for. Tip for parking: The parking lot right on Mission Blvd can get a little tight during peak weekend evening rushes, so just keep that in mind if you're hitting them up after dinner. Solid 4-star spot that never disappoints the family!

Buy ONE get ONE So why am I at the register with a clear reward on my app purchasing a "like it size" and everyone is confused.

But here is my opinion don't crowd me number 1. Number 2. READ the reward it made all the sense and didn't call for 3 people to crowd me for a simple bogo. I will leave on a positive the staff were moving the line until the hiccup.
