    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.

    I just walked here with my housemate, cause she was craving froyo. I was very impressed by their options. They all look exquisite and high quality. My friend got the baklava with chocolate. The portion was huge for a single. She gave me a bite and it was so decadent. I wasn't going to get anything but the lovely woman working offered to give me a sample. She gave me the cutest mini cone! So generous. I will absolutely be back soon.

    Just the cream soft serve that immediately melted within 3 minutes mixed with their chocolate drizzle.

    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.

    Yummy soft serve. Located in Lakeview cafe close to the drumming circle/rotunda on lake Merritt. Pop up. Go grab one on a hot day and it will hit the spot. The vanilla one is made from Buffalo milk which is easy on the stomach for lactose intolerant folks.

    Peach Cobbler

    Nothing hits the spot like the Peach Cobbler. Great balance of flavors and a perfect cream to topping ratio. Service was friendly and fast, per usual. I was surprised by how empty the shop was despite it being a warm day. But plenty of seating in and outdoors.

    Very shareable portions. Could not finish one on my own. We liked the baklava toppings they did add the crunch without being too overwhelming. The ice cream itself was not too sweet and had a good milky flavour. I believe 17th is their last day at the current pop up location before they move. Service was fast and friendly.

    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. Stop by for the most unboring ice cream in the Bay!

    This little take away spot has hella decadent soft serve. I had the German chocolate cake, which was chocolate soft serve with brownies, nuts and coconut topping. It was delicious but definitely share it! It's a lot for one person- great for two people.

    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!

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch
    Hannah D.

    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.

    Oreo soft serve

    I got the cookies and cream ice cream cup. It was loaded with Oreos and chocolate syrup and it was just so good. Small little pop up by lake merrit. I would recommend this place for a fun soft serve treat.

    German chocolate cake
    Kaylan S.

    Decadence served with a smile!! This little pop up is scoopin up big flavors and toppings, and even has a pup cup for your pooch! I found this specialty on TikTok and was pleasantly surprised to learn it was being made nearby in Oakland, across from Lake Merrit. Upon first bite I knew I'd be back for more!! Closed Mon-Weds, but worth the wait. New flavors and combinations coming weekly. Make sure to check it out!

    Vanessa B.

    First things first I have to shout out the owner for being so kind and humble. This cute ass pop up next to the lake is sure to please if you're looking for a nice treat to bring to the lake with you. I tried the German chocolate which was so good and rich. The only downside is parking but you should expect that anywhere in that area. Other than that, check this place out!

    Eating the biggest ice cream cone of my life!

I've been here a long time ago and think it was the original building / location during that visit. On this visit, my nephew and I were in the area, grabbing dinner and thought it would be really fun to stop by this spot for dessert. Also, Alysa Liu just got the gold medal in the Olympics and I was swelling with East Bay pride. When we got there, the place was really busy. Although we were able to get seated right away because people were mainly ordering ice cream at the front counter. The room where we were seated it's pretty large and bright. It was a fun and active vibe in there. Our waitress showed up and I wanted to get some crazy concoction and I can't remember exactly what I got, but it was one of the banana sundaes. My nephew ended up just getting two scoops in an ice cream dish. We both enjoyed our ice cream and I was telling my nephew about my experiences growing up in the East Bay a little bit and how this place was immortalized and one of my favorite movies 'Up'. Overall, just a great time with delicious ice cream and great, friendly service. They have their own parking lot, but I was able to find some street parking right across the street from the location. I would just warn you, however, that when you're parking on the street, try to not keep anything of value visible.

The way it was delivered? Just rudely said with a bad tone too. I also got charged for my ice cream when one of my friends had already paid for mine in front of me. I went to have it reversed, and he was saying how my friend paid for 6 singles and I got a junior size then there was nothing to be reversed. If anything we paid twice and for the wrong size. I get that it may have been confusing especially with big groups and long lines but it could have been handled more professionally.

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.

If you get an affogato, ask for it deconstructed so you can control the amount of espresso/coffee.

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.
