Got the thin mint flavor and it hit the spot! We got the small size which was $6. No line on a Saturday around 1pm, pretty quick service.
My friend brought me to Loving Cup for froyo, then we took it to eat at the Painted Ladies. Apparently this is a classic SF activity. I got the Lone Wolf, and it was delicious. It was so rich and chocolatey. The medium was definitely too big for me. It was $7.60. My friend got the Power Cup, which she always gets. It is a chocolate banana flavour with a very strong banana taste. They don't have tables, but they have two or three stools inside. They have a restroom.
After dinner, we stopped by loving cup for a sweet treat. They have such a great options that there is a treat for everyone. The line moved well, the wait was not bad at all. I like how clean the space was and it wasn't chaotic. I got a small crunchy cereal which has cereal in vanilla ice cream with salted caramel. My go to flavor usually includes caramel so I was really happy! The size was perfect for me after dinner, not too big and sweet. It was creamy, lots of flavor, not too sweet at all. I'm really happy I found this spot. Also, the prices are great too, super fair!
Good flavors but not a fan of the consistency. Its almost soft serve but not quite. They have something good to offer here but its bot a place I would return to over and over. I only tried the ice cream and non dairy ice cream.
Fun ice cream shop to go post-dinner. Staff were very kind and service was very fast! 4/5 - Cookie Monster. Surprisingly it didn't taste too sweet despite visually having many blended crushed Oreos and cookie dough. This felt very filling and wasn't too sweet. I enjoyed the texture change between the oreo and cookie dough. 4/5 - Salty Dog. Tasted sweet as expected from the salted caramel but was balanced well with the smooth vanilla ice cream base. The caramel topping could be a bit overwhelming so I would recommend scoops to have a generous portion of the vanilla base. Pretzels were blended into the ice cream so there won't be too much crunch. 4.5/5 - Strawberry Shortcake. Blended quite well and will definitely give you the fix for a strawberry shortcake craving for ice cream! Animal crackers were also blended into the ice cream so you won't taste too much of a crunch but a nice variation of sweetness with the strawberry.
Cutest most convenient little froyo + pizza joint on Divis! This is the goto spot for my friends and I for a late night sweet treat or post-pilates quick bite. Blueberry dream (9/10): looved the fresh, refreshing blueberry flavor and texture from the coconut flakes. Power cup - chocolate, almond butter, and banana (10/10): Sooo good and indulgent. It barely tastes like froyo. This absolutely hits if you're craving chocolate and a decadent sweet treat. The addition of almond butter lends a fudgey texture - think the chocolate cake from Matilda. The pizza here is also decent for the cheap price. It wasn't mind blowing and the crust wasn't as crispy as I'd like, but again, it was an entire pie for ten bucks. Service is always super fast and friendly. Will be coming back again and again!
SF summer calls for ice cream/froyo/something cold. The ice/snow place I frequent wasn't open today so I came here. Ordered a matcha vanilla and it didn't have any matcha flavor and the froyo was too icy for my preference with a sweet aftertaste from the vanilla base. There are two flavors that serve as base - vanilla and chocolate. Toppings and flavors are layered on top of that so no tastings as it's made to order. Recommend trying the bases though before ordering or ask staff what is popular. Not my jam but may be yours.
My friend recommended this spot for froyo after we had dinner nearby. She was specifically craving cookies and cream ice cream and ended up getting the monster cookie froyo with oreo and cookie dough blended in. The add-ins are blended into the froyo, giving it a nice texture and sweetness without being too sweet. I do think I'd prefer other froyo spots that are more tart as the non-fat frozen yogurt doesn't have much creaminess and tasted pretty icy. I opted to try the rice pudding with toasted coconut. This was good and really creamy but I thought some additional flavor would have boosted it to more than rice pudding you could get from any market.
ordered for pickup and everything was still nice and cold and creamy. I got the lone wolf ($6) as chocolate and the crunchy cereal ($6) as vanilla, and liked the chocolate a lot more than the vanilla. the chocolate was stretchy and creamy and tasted more like ice cream which was nice. the vanilla was obviously yogurt but it was also kind of bland and icier. I loved the mix-ins though, especially the crunchy ones
Enjoyable sweet treat without the guilt! The froyo is light and icier texture than traditional froyo. I like that the two topping mix-in is customizable. I got the vanilla base with oreo and crunchy cereal mix-in. It was satisfying and tasted like a mcflurry!
This is my favorite guilt free sweet treat. Cute but small interior and well priced. I love how they blend your toppings into the yogurt so you get the perfect bite every time. My favorite combo is strawberry and pretzels but anything chocolate mint and or peanut butter is good too.
A solid froyo option for when you want a light sweet treat in NoPa. My favorites are the salty dog and peanut butter flavors (the one pictured below is strawberry shortcake). I agree with whoever below that the texture of this froyo is more icy than creamy, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. They usually aren't too busy, but this location doesn't really have seating so you'll need to take your froyo out for a little walk or hang outside.
Smooth creamy ice cream with a nice color. The ice cream was mixed but you could still taste the flavors of the items mixed in. Did not try the pizza.
I walked by Loving Cup the other day and decided to give it a try. I tried their Salty Dog flavor, which was a vanilla ice cream blended with broken-down pretzels. The vanilla frozen yogurt base paired well with the sweet, buttery caramel pretzels. The salty crunch also contrasted with the generally sweet dessert. I'm interested in trying their other unique flavors in the future! Service was friendly, and there was very limited seating if you want enjoy your froyo inside the shop. read more
Solid fat-free froyo spot. Love that they actually churn in the toppings with the soft serve (save for the syrupy toppings), making the finished product easy to consume! Enjoyed the "crunchy cereal" flavor--would probably have liked it more if I subbed vanilla for chocolate. I think most of their menu combo flavors all sound pretty bomb. The yogurt itself does taste fat-free, to my younger sisters' dismay. I was fine with it, but it may not be as suitable for palettes that aren't necessarily into "healthier" alternatives. Overall, I had a good experience. Really appreciated the clean and accessible restroom. I would come back if a friend wanted to try this place (: read more

The fro-yo looks better than this pic! It was so good I started eating before I remembered camera eats first. I got the chocolate with brownie and strawberry. Would definitely come again but I would only recommend it if you enjoy the specific (healthyish) taste of probiotic fro-yo. The staff is lovely and it's in a beautiful area to walk around while you eat. read more

Right next to the Emporium, it's a perfect stop for a sweet treat! The shop itself is a bit tiny with roughly 4 bar seats facing the window, so not quite a place to hang out and eat but nice to stop by and grab some frozen yogurt swirls and walk around. I actually wasn't sure what to expect with this concept-they have signature mixes that combine a few different popular flavors and what I wasn't clear on were whether these were toppings or layered or etc. So what you do get are those flavors all blended into a swirly frozen yogurt - and it works really well! My husband's blend had oreos and nutella blended in while mine had peanut butter and bananas blended in, both combinations were very yummt! read more

Thank you, Dianna, for your kind review! it means a lot to us, and we…
It's been awhile since I set my presence in the heart of Alamo Square. Several years ago, I had been to the café at the corner of Divisadero and McAllister for the first sip of kava, which was down-to-earth amazing. So this time, I go to many other places, which was not uncommon. This, I settled for a cup of matcha/vanilla soft serve. What's awesome about it was that every soft serve I ordered was absolutely probiotic! Compared to authentic Uji matcha green tea soft serve that's blended with milk and vanilla, this one's very light in color when swirled in one. Not bad when it tasted different in probiotic form. Love a knowledgeable guy who runs his business alone. I'm sure to visit the same nifty hole-in-the-wall for another soft serve instead of a full dish size pizza in a handheld box. (^^) read more
Came here and then went to the Emporium afterward to eat the froyo. Good: - The large size is perfect for sharing - Nice staff and you get your order super fast - The lone wolf flavor was great, and I liked how it had some crunchy things inside - Really cute clean interior Bad: - Not much seating inside Overall would come back! The dessert hit the spot. read more

Thank you, Jenny! We glad to hear you enjoyed the experience. Best.
The thin mint is a 10000/10! This is by far my favorite spot for dessert when I want something quick. Their flavors are pretty customizable and they mix it right in front of you. The large is the perfect size for two people to split if you're already stuffed from dinner but want a sweet treat :). read more

Was craving something sweet so decided to stop by. Butterfinger: 4.5/5 The frozen yogurt was super soft, almost kind of melty. I feel like it was more frozen solid in my previous visits but nonetheless, this one was still delicious! My absolute favorite is the peanut butter cup, give that a try! read more

Thank you, Amity, for your feedback. Best.
I really enjoy the Oreo loving cup and now that they have pizza I thought I'd give it a try. It's very thin and solid for the price. Only complaint is that they folded it and then the cheese got stuck and became one ball of cheese... also it's a little weird to eat ice cream when the whole place smells strongly of pizza. read more
Stumbled upon this place on Divisadero and I heard this place is pretty good. The shop specializes in frozen yogurt and they have the option for you to create your own too, but we decided to get a set one. Butterfinger (5/5): this frozen yogurt was perfectly balanced. Not too much of anything. Perfect amount of butterfinger and the texture of the cream was very delicate. read more

Loving cup is the best ice cream in this neighborhood. It's blended with the toppings to create custom flavors. It's a small shop with usually no line. read more
I'm not sure why my last couple of visits to this shop have been on the 'meh' side. I don't think it's the staff's fault because they're quite conscientious how they prepare the serving cups and generous on how much extra froyo they provide when they top it off. I have really liked their rice pudding a lot... But the froyo menu is so dominant I forget they have it. By default, I tend to order a small $5.83 cup like the Peanut Butter Cup with peanut butter and chocolate chips (photo: https://bit.ly/3JYnDq0). It was frustratingly melty as I wanted to enjoy it at Alamo Square, but it was dripping over my fingers by the time I got there. Today I just tried the Strawberry Shortcake with strawberries and animal crackers but decided to eat it in the shop this time (photo: https://bit.ly/3K2GDno). It was strangely bland with little evidence of the featured ingredients. Just too granulated, I think. I just need to remind myself about the rice pudding next time. FROYO - 3 stars...sometimes melty, sometimes just bland AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...compact space with just three seats at the window counter SERVICE - 4 stars...usually quite attentive TOTAL - 3 stars...remember the rice pudding RELATED - Exploring NoPa? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: http://bit.ly/2uMQ82p read more
Stumbled in spontaneously and grabbed a small Non-dairy Oatmilk Vanilla with matcha, espresso, and pistachios mixed in ($5.83 + $0.75 extra). Keep in mind this is frozen yogurt, so don't expect it to be creamy and sweet like ice cream. I was disappointed with mine bc I thought I had ordered a matcha flavored base. It tasted like frozen, watered down oatmilk. Pistachios saved it with its nuttiness. (6/10) The toppings are key to adding texture and sweetness! read more

Stopped by for dessert after eating dinner nearby and I really enjoyed the thin mint froyo! Although a bit more expensive, the flavor is great and a nice balance of soft/creamy and thick. I got a small and it was more than enough for me. The service was quick, but not much seating inside the place. You can also customize your own flavor or get one of their set flavors. Great for a quick dessert stop! read more
