I decided to treat myself while we were at Pier 39, so we stopped at Lappert's Ice Cream Shop. I ordered the blueberry cheesecake ice cream, and my wife got her usual Double Chocolate Fudge. Mine was cheesecake flavored with blueberry swirls, and apparently, the ice cream is made in house. I really enjoyed it and it did not disappoint. The shop itself is decorated like a classic ice cream parlor and candy store. The ice cream was absolutely delicious, and I would definitely return.
Very creamy chocolate milkshake. We were surprised there wasn't whipped cream. I got Gavin a chocolate gelato brioche sandwich a few doors down, but he did not seem to enjoy it so we just came in here for his dessert instead. Only 2 gals behind the counter, but they were efficient, and friendly. A few tables and a bench outside for folks wanting to enjoy.
Great to grab and go stop at Pier 39. We got 4 cups, 3 cones. We love the variety of choices of flavors, cup sizes, and cone kinds. The staff was welcoming to us. Couldnt say much to ambiance than it is a stand out thing that people line up, so, be prepared to wait. Wait to be served and wait to be sit down or just to keep on going to walk. Ice cream easily melted, even when we are just not able to go to cashier, some ice cream is dripping. Otherwise, might try again next time
Ice cream on Pier 39. That is what you are paying for. The line was packed during the day we went. The service was good, the ice cream was ok, just hard to justify spending that much money on it again. There is seating in the back (stools facing the boats docked in the bay).
There are a lot of places to get ice cream on the Wharf... but for us, there's only one. Lapperts Ice Cream Pier 39 has become a tradition--something we always do, no matter what else is going on. Every time we're at Pier 39, we stop here. It's not even a question anymore, it's part of the trip, part of the rhythm, part of the story. The ice cream is consistently incredible. I love the milk shakes in particular. It doesn't matter if it's morning, afternoon, or late in the day, it's always fresh, always rich, always exactly what you're hoping for. There's something about walking up, choosing a flavor, and that first bite that just hits perfectly every single time. But what really keeps us coming back, year after year, is the people. The staff here are always awesome, friendly, patient, and genuinely welcoming. You can feel that they enjoy what they do, and that energy carries through the whole experience. For me and the boys, this place is more than just ice cream. It's a memory-maker. It's the spot where we slow down, laugh, and just enjoy being together in the middle of everything the Wharf throws at you. We've been back several times over the years, and we'll keep coming back. It's not just a stop; it's a tradition. And honestly... it wouldn't feel like Pier 39 without it.
I was roaming around in Pier 39. This seemed like a fun place to have a quick ice cream. I went for 3 scoops - pistachio, ube macapuno and lychee. Lychee was my favorite flavor. Ube macapuno was good. Pistachio didn't have much flavor. I also went for a coconut macadamia shake. That was a good flavor as well.
Looking for a cooling center and feel trapped because of the heatwave in San Francisco? On a Summer stroll at the heart of the tourist trap called Pier 39 there is a place which serves different kinds of flavor of ice cream. In this San Francisco heatwave there is a place to refresh and beat the heat. Lapperts (different brand than the Hawaiian one ) serves lots of tropical and Hawaiian inspired flavors in the mainland. There is also lots of coffee and tropical flavored ice cream here. The only San Francisco location of Lappert's is stuck in the middle of the tourist trap of the Pier 39 boardwalk which has people from the all over world having a taste of different flavors. You can smell the fresh waffle cones being made in front of you while you wait to order. There are lots of flavors to choose from but I decided on a scoop of orange colored Manila Mango and a scoop of the Purple Ube on a fresh waffle cone. The Manila Mango scoop was a bit tangy but with good flavor and the Ube was a little more savory and it was a good ice cream combination. Although at Pier 39 is usually charging premium pricing but for premium ice cream it's a good value. A good place to cool out and enjoy a scoop of Lappert's ice cream at Pier 39 in San Francisco. Come to Pier 39 and "take" a "break" and enjoy the views of an ocean not a river or a " lake" while enjoying the food like the surf and turf which is seafood and "steak" Save room for dessert smell the waffle cones at Lapperts in real time as they "bake" there are lots of flavors inside with lots of decisions to "intake "and "make "as you can choose from ice cream flavors like Kauai Pie, Ube Macapuno and "blueberry cheesecake " or get mania like wrestle mania and wrestle over the different flavors of Lappert's " milkshake"
I love the Lappert's in Hawaii. My favorite flavor is coconut pineapple. They didn't have it in this San Francisco location so I got a chocolate peanut butter milk shake instead. Milk shake consistency was perfect, not too thin and not overly thick. It's not Haagen Daz but it was good enough with a few chocolate flakes and peanut butter chunks. Counters were clean, napkins were available and friendly servers were ready to help. Line went fairly quick and lots of people in and out, just to look or to buy.
Most people will say the American dream is the nuclear family and home ownership. Considering the state of the economy, I have to find that dream elsewhere. For me it's the feeling of walking down Pier 39 with the afternoon sun on my face and waffle cone in hand. There is no better bliss in this world. I have always maintained that some of the best food I have ever had is in Hawaii (certainly the coffee), so when I walked into Lapperts, and realized it is Hawaiian, you can imagine the excitement I felt. Two scoops in a waffle cone is a classic treat, so I went with (if I recall correctly) the Kona Mocha Chip, and horchata cajeta. Easily the best ice cream I have ever had. Much better than owning a home.
This spot appears to be popular at Pier 39. There is a constant line, which goes by rather quickly. There are some tables and benches out front to enjoy the ice cream. They had a choice of one free topping for the month of April. Lots of interesting flavors to pick from. The scoops were generous. As others have mentioned, I wished there was a kid's size scoop. There is a choice between a cup, regular cone or sugar cone. Expect to spend a little over $8 for the small sizes. The ice- cream was not too sweet and creamy. Customer service was quick and friendly. Store is briefly lit and colorful, just like the flavor offerings.
Delicious ice cream! My first time trying it and I think I've found one of my new favorite flavors Caramel Coconut Macadamia Nut. It was so good and had macadamia nut pieces and shredded coconut in it. My only issue was the ice cream was too melted when they gave it to me. I'm not sure if the scoop they used was too hot but it was very melted which took away from the ice cream.
We enjoyed the Ice Cream, here. The experience in this place is cute, I like the asthetic here, they have all kinds of flavors, I want to try next time I come back.
Fisherman's Wharf has a lot of Ice Cream spots and I think there are better options. The service was ok and the ice cream is pretty basic. I feel that it is over priced, it is SF so not suprised. The ambiance is just a small ice cream shop. There are no seats inside just standing areas, outside there are picnic tables.
Reviews are mixed. Many mention the variety of unique flavors, creamy and fresh ice cream, and friendly staff.

We stopped here before our charter in the SF bay. We saw the line and thought this must a fab ice cream stop...and it was! I loved the home made cones and selection of ice cream flavors . I had a scoop of mango and vanilla. My husband had a scoop of chocolate and vanilla. The decor is cute and the staff and ambiance was welcoming and inviting. read more
Lappert's Ice Cream is a fav spot and MUST visit when in the San Francisco Pier 39!!! There are other ice cream vendors at Pier 39 but Lappert's is local and handcrafted using all-natural ingredients! This spot has outside seating as well as nice decor with convenient parking across the street. Plenty of flavors to select. Ordered a scoop each of mango and ube macapuno. So sweet and delish!!! Staff was friendly and courteous with good customer service! read more

On a cold day, nothing beats having an ice cream as you stroll down Pier 39 taking in all of the shops. I think partly because it was a nice cold day, there was no one in the shop when I went in, but I did see a lot of people enjoying their cones while I was walking around. Service was friendly. I got a coconut macadamia waffle cone....personally it was the fresh waffle cone being made that drew me in. The ice cream was really good, creamy and coconutty with a hint of fudge. Prices are pretty reasonable considering the shop is in the middle of one of the most tourist destinations in SF. The shop is small but there is some seating to enjoy in front of the shop and also all along the pier. If anything I think this place is more of a grab and go so you can enjoy the rest of the pier. read more
