Yum! This is an ice cream shop inside the Lakeshore Cafe. The owner seems super nice & genuine guy! The soft serve creations are fantastic! I had the gingerbread & my husband had the eggnog. Both were so good! I'm going back soon for the German chocolate cake ice cream creation. So glad to know this is here! Right by the Oakland Diocese office, convenient location folks! You should really try Bears ice cream. read more

Let me start by saying I love the idea of dessert but not usually the dessert itself. I'm a big fan of ordering dessert, and having two bites and being done. Today, I met my match and that was not the case. I loved the vanilla soft serve SO much. I could eat it plain without any toppings. The vanilla was thick snd creamy, not icy at all. The banana was a nice compliment to the not overly sweet flavor and the nuts provided the perfect crunch. The cookies and cream was also very good. I wish the chocolate were a bit thicker and less icy but overall still yummy. I love how little the cookie crumbs were crushed. Sometimes you get big chunks of cookie that are terrible to chew with ice cream because it freezes your teeth and takes away from the experience. I want to go back inside and get some more to go, but I don't trust that I won't eat it all in one sitting. This place is total chefs kiss. Perfect location across the lake too.... Get your ice cream and sit on a bench or go on a walk. I hope they grow in the most abundant way. Give it a try! read more

I was in the area looking for a good dessert spot and found MyGoodness. This location is right near Lake Merritt and it's off street parking. The menu is limited - wanted to try the Apple Pie but was not available today so chose the Strawberry Cheesecake and it did not disappoint. MyGoodness is literally MyGoodness! A simple dessert soft served ice cream topped with flavors. I'm looking forward to trying different flavors next time. Strawberry cheesecake has cheesecake bites all on top with strawberries preserves and there were even graham cracker pieces at the bottom - super good! Highly recommend for a date after visiting Lake Merritt read more

I came here for a party before and loved my experience so much I had to return. Such a convenient location. The service is excellent, the owner is very friendly and helpful. I chose the German Chocolate Cake this time and it was good, literally all the components of the cake but in ice cream form. Sadly, it was just too sweet for me. I didn't think about that when I ordered. My son ordered the Cookies and Cream and love every bite. He enjoyed the ice cream with the crunchy cookie toppings and texture. What I appreciate is that there are seasonal flavors so I can't wait to see what he'll have the next time we go. read more

I was deceived by Yelp's aggregate 4.9 rating. There used to be a dessert place in SF where they would serve you a soft serve in a cup. My favorite one was the simple dark chocolate drizzle that would immediately harden with some sea salt on top. I was craving it, so I thought this place might be worth a try. I got just the cream with a chocolate drizzle over. The chocolate did not harden at all. It remained soft the entire time. The soft serve also started immediately melting within a minute of walking away from the place. It's only 66F. I would understand it melting quickly if it was 85F or something, but it took less than a minute to begin liquifying. My car was parked 3 minutes away, and by the time I got back to it, it was just sugary soup. The consistency isn't even the most disappointing aspect. The chocolate drizzle was too sweet. It tasted like the cheap syrup you can get from a dollar store where they just dump a whole can of sugar in order to get away with using the lowest amount of chocolate as possible. As for the soft serve itself, the first bite was mildly sweet. It wasn't overwhelming in flavor, but the more I ate it, the more it started tasting like a mildly appetizing version of spoiled milk. It left a really sour aftertaste in my mouth. I tried mixing it to turn it into chocolate soft serve, but the flavor of the chocolate syrup is so overwhelming that it just tastes like something Donkey would excrete if he were in Candyland instead of Shrek's swamp. It was $6.60 or so after tax. I think it's going to cost me $200 in medical bills from the emotional damage I've taken. read more

After seeing their IG post about a limited-time birthday cake flavor, I couldn't resist dropping in. I made it through the torrential downpour and was rewarded with ice cream that made me smile! MyGoodness serves up DECADENT soft-serve ice cream and the birthday cake flavor was no exception. Packed with homemade cake, sprinkles, fruity pebbles, and even icing, the combination was out of this world. It's certainly big enough to share with a friend, but I proudly crushed it solo.

Heard about this place online and just had to try, the pictures looked too epic. We were not disappointed at all! The owner and founder was there and was quite friendly and mentioned that this would be the best soft serve we've ever had. That raised the expectations quite a bit and even then it did not disappoint! You can tell the quality of the soft serve is not the cheap/low quality soft serve you may get other places. The cones are stacked high, so be prepared! My favorite was the Cookies and Cream. So glad we found this spot and will be back often! read more

My first time I came alone, got myself the apple pie and I don't like apple pie like that but to my surprise it was amazing! I loved it! So I brought my sister the next day we got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and cookie & cream, the cookies and cream it was okay nothing special maybe cause I switch the chocolate soft serve to vanilla but the Cinnamon Toast Crunch was the best! I came here so many times after that just to get the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I recommended that flavor to everyone I know. Even took my bf here and he loved it too. Recently I came back and they got new flavors. I tried the strawberry cheese cake and omg that is amazing! It not overly sweet like other cheese cake ice cream and the strawberry I think its a homemade strawberry jam. It's sooooo good! The service was great too! The owner is very nice and make the ice cream fast too. Location next to lake Merritt so you can go on a walk. A very chill small shop. Parking is kinda hard only 3-4 in the front. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area you won't be disappointed! Sadly, I didn't take a picture of the apple pie. read more

MyGoodness? I'd even go so far as to say MyGreatness. This little pop-up is the best thing to happen to Lake Merritt since that time when I saw a bird on the water that looked exactly like Bernie Sanders. Sure, you can go to a frozen yogurt place where you can pick your own toppings, but you know the gummy bears are going to be stale and hard and, if they're not, it's only because some toddler was warming them up with their sticky-fisted death grip before putting them back in the gummy bear container only to inevitably land on top of your chalky froyo and mess of Fruity Pebbles and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, all while you ponder the poor life decisions that lead you to that terrible combination. Instead, go to MyGoodness and get some super creamy soft serve in a perfectly curated combination of quality ingredients and culinary mastery and then walk around the lake and enjoy your delicious ice cream while keeping an eye out for Birdie Sanders. read more

Unfortunately have to say this place really didn't live up to the hype. We got the cookies and cream and peach cobbler flavors and both didn't have a great flavor. The peaches tasted like the ones you get in a can from the store and the Oreos in the cookies and cream were definitely stale. The ice cream itself also wasn't tasty. Giving three stars because the service was great. I'm hoping it was an off day and that generally the flavors are pleasant. I absolutely love soft serve and have low standards so was surprised to be disappointed after reading the stellar reviews. read more

I'm fully prepared to be that person at the store, scooping straight out of the container instead of bothering with a cup or cone I tried Pink Jesus, Matcha Snickerdoodle, Vietnamese Coffee, and Honey Graham Cracker. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Pink Jesus, but it ended up being a pleasant surprise. It's a blend of lavender and raspberry, with the lavender coming through more strongly, floral but not overwhelming. The Matcha Snickerdoodle and Vietnamese Coffee were both bold and very true to their flavors. You can immediately tell what you're eating, which I loved. The Honey Graham Cracker, though, was a bit too sweet for my taste.

I'm not a big strawberry ice cream girl, but had MULTIPLE bites. We saw them make the waffle bowl in front of us and I've never had a waffle bowl before, so this could be a "me" thing, but it wasn't as crispy as I was expecting it to be. But my boyfriend seemed to like it. My affogato was more of a coffee with a scoop of melted ice cream. They brewed TWO *DOUBLE SHOTS* and poured them in a 16 ounce cup w 1 scoop of ice cream. If you get an affogato, ask for it deconstructed so you can control the amount of espresso/coffee.

We were sent to pick up some ice cream, so stopped by this Baskin Robbins on the way to Oakland. We were the only ones in the store when we arrived. The sales person happily helped us get our prepacked quarts as everything was chained up in their freezers. The hubs already knew what everyone wanted, so it was easy grabbing the flavors. I'm a huge fan of peppermint ice cream, so when I saw BR had it, I decided to grab a scoop. Tho now thinking about it price wise, I probably should have asked if I could get a prepacked quart. If they exist that is. Would have been a much better deal. For some reason, we got two promo credits - one for $1 and another for $0.99. Maybe it was a special? Convenient if in the Emeryville area.

There was a…read moreline out the door which got me excited because it usually means the place is good, and the reviews say the same. The only issue is there's no clear menu posted online, so we walked in completely blind. Their website shows a long list of flavors but not what they actually have that day, so it felt like a guessing game. The line moved really slow because there was only one employee handling everything. She was taking orders, giving samples, answering questions, and ringing people up all at once. She was super friendly and doing her best, but it felt like a lot for one person during a rush and the shop could definitely use more help. The space is really small and tight so it was hard to even see the flavors until we got close to the front. When we finally got up there, a lot of the tubs were already empty which was confusing since most ice cream shops restock. Some flavors I wanted weren't available anymore, and if they're out it would make more sense to just remove them from display. The dirty containers didn't make sense to display. I sampled the jasmine green tea and knew right away I wanted it. It was creamy with a smooth tea flavor that wasn't overpowering. I got a small with half jasmine green tea and half avocado. The avocado was surprisingly really good, super creamy and tasted like a fresh avocado smoothie. Both flavors weren't overly sweet which I liked. My husband wanted cookies and cream but it was sold out so he got chocolate chip instead, which was solid and creamy with good texture. Overall the ice cream itself was good, not the best I've had but definitely not bad. I like that the flavors lean more natural and not overly sweet. I could see myself coming back if I'm in the area, but the experience would be a lot better with faster service and more consistency with what's actually available.
