    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.

    salty dog
    Jed O.

    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.

    blueberry dream
    Jen T.

    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!

    matcha vanilla
    Steph C.

    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.

    Caili C.

    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.

    lone wolf, crunchy cereal
    Sarah C.

    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

    Caly T.

    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!

    Zoe G.

    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.

    Linda Y.

    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'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.

And the matcha ice cream barely tasted like matcha. There isn't much decor to speak of, it's a store front only and no interior.
