    This is a quick service type of establishment. Although they always have a line around the corner, they are efficient with service. Their flavors are unique and they are not stingy with their samples! I have visited a few and this location is the most efficient. The vibe inside is like an old school ice cream parlor! Great visit, will keep coming back!

    There is always a line but it goes through relatively quickly, depending on how prepared the people ahead of you are lol! I love how they give yoi metal spoons to try the different flavors rather than wooden spoons which I find makes the ice cream taste weird. Now to the flavors. Unique and tasty with monthly/seasonal flavors that change! Need i say more?!

    Good and unique ice cream flavors. They currently have ice cream tacos in the freezer section. I had the marshmallow crispy special flavor it was very good.

    We came to get the ready prepared pint. We kept asking SO many questions, Katie at the check out patiently answered all our questions. This was the best customer service I have experience in an ice cream place! Thank YOU. :) Ambiance was very nice. Walked into line, ordered ice cream, then could either sit at the bench outside or just eat inside car. I really like the ice cream flavors, especially the salted caramel, chocolate dough. I would come again just for the ice cream flavors and the best customer service!

    Ice cream is ice cream. The decor and ambiance gives high quality, posh vibes. And the price is very reasonable. Affordable. The ice cream was good and the staff had wonderful customer service skills. They greeted everyone upon entry and even gave eye contact. Kudos to them.

    Love their unique flavors here! Always smells sooooo good too. If it was guaranteed that I wouldn't have negative blood test results and if money wasn't an issue, I'd be getting a scoop or 2 on waffle cone each day. They have seasonal flavors, and various collabs which makes Salt & Straw fun. I got their lucky charms marshmallow one once on a waffle cone, and loved how it wasn't overly sweet. It did melt faster than I'd like, but it was so good especially in a waffle cone. My daughter really likes their honey lavender flavor, which I think is there year round or most times aka not a seasonal/limited time flavor. I went again cause I heard about their collab with Taco Bell. Cinnamon-ancho ice cream gets packed into a hand-pressed, sog-resistant waffle cone taco, then dunked in dark chocolate and studded with crunchy puffed quinoa, with a couple sauces in packets - mango jalapeño and wild berry cinnamon. The taco ice cream was good, but I prefer regular ice cream in a waffle cone each the sauces were good as well, esp the mango jalapeño, though they overpower the ice cream a bit. Service has been great each time we visited. I sampled their Parker house roll ice cream (a Thanksgiving flavor) and it was quite interesting!

    First visit here. While they offer many interesting flavors, most were way too sweet for my liking. The chocolate was the only one I enjoyed. On the bright side, the service was excellent and the staff was very friendly.

    2.5 stars | review #204, 09.22.25's visit I was "dragged" to check out City Center Bishop Ranch. Circled around for an overview first and saw cop cars in a roped off section. So, we parked at an indoor lot instead. Then stopped by security when walking out onto that wing. Later found out about the $1M jewelry armed robbery by nearly 2 dozen ppl. Scary to think what if we ran right into that mess for coming earlier?! Anyhoo, I was initially excited to come across this nationwide artisan creamery when we walked down after reparking, but to be later disappointed by subtle flavors. V I B E S . . . Boujee outdoor mall that was dead on a Mon at 4p. Rich teens def spending parents' $$ here. I also recall seeing suburban moms w/ littles & strollers. Enter into a wide, short space. Line maze & merch towards the left & togo pints fridges on the right. Ah, no glass cases to peek the ice cream. Idk, just felt weird to me. N O M S ?? . . . Unique flavors, but what a shame to be sooo mild that I could not even make them out!!!! $12 for a double waffle cone - Honey Lavender | eh - Hazelnut Cookies & Cream | no nuttiness. If u can't satisfy me with 1 of my go to's, then I prob won't ever return by choice, unfortunately. - rotating Limited Edition avail: Apple Series (5) Lil curious about: - Pear & Blue Cheese - Pumpkin Spice Waffle Cone/Bowl, 1.65 S E R V I C E . . . The male scooper was welcoming, but the other young staff wasn't really friendly. P.S. If u found what I spent time on to be of help, show this (Asian) sista some love by SMASHing a reaction & FOLLOWing me if u don't already!! ;-P Thx in advance & may there be more noms in our futures...

    Double scoop of honey lavender and the lucky charms flavor. Waaaayyyy too much ice cream but so satisfied lol.

    Okay, um...why have I not written a review yet for this place??? I've definitely checked in here too many times to count. This place is located in the City Center. I always look forward to see what new monthly flavors they have in store. They always have such creative flavors and are not afraid to delve into the savory realm. Service is always great and it's become almost like a tradition to stop by here at least once a month. The latest flavor I tried was the great candycopia which consists of homemade candy bar bites embedded in salted butterscotch ice cream. Definitely a winner! Looking forward to see what they have in store for next month. I'll be back soon.

    My kids size cup
    Sylvia K.

    Got a kids size freckled chocolate chip. It's tiny!!! Just 1 scoop! All the other pictures on Yelp has 2 scoops for kids size cup!!! Seriously!! Totally got ripped off!

    I'm not a huge fan of Salt & Straw, but I'm always intrigued with their monthly flavors so will often stop by whenever I can. Bishop Ranch is one of my favorite places to hang out since they have many shops and restaurants. There was a line when we arrived, but don't they all have lines? I always appreciate the friendly staff and cleanliness every time I'm here. I'm usually pretty indecisive when it comes to picking out a flavor, but this time I came here to specifically try The Tacolate. Apparently Salt & Straw did a collab with Taco Bell and came out with a ice cream taco. It was a Cinnamon-ancho ice cream packed in a dog-resistant waffle cone taco, and dunked in dark chocolate and topped with quinoa. I didn't like the ice cream at all since the flavor was too strong. I however did enjoy the waffle cone and surprised that it was crunchy given that it was pre-packaged. I think I would've preferred if they had a selection of flavors to choose from. They also included a pack of the mango jalapeño and another pack of the wild berry cinnamon sauce, which I thought was just ok and can go without them. A little disappointed to be honest given the taste, price and size of the ice cream. Hoping they can introduce more flavors in the future because I most likely won't pick this up again.

    Vegan banana foster and peanut butter brittle
    Symone B.

    Starting off 2026 strong with my first review! I absolutely love Salt & Straw. Specifically this location! The staff are always kinda and patient and their music be bumpin. I went for their Veganuary flavors and got the 1/2 scoop of peanut butter brittle and banana foster. Both delicious!

    Jeff S.

    Consistently great ice cream in San Ramon. Very good service as well and they let you taste pretty much everything. Good ambiance and great little spot for a post lunch or dinner dessert

Their shop layout is upscale as upscale cupcake shops are wont to do. I usually get the Red Velvet as my go-to cupcake, as it is their signature cupcake to get. What I really want to make a positive review about Sprinkles is regarding my most recent visit to their Cupcake ATM. I arrived at about 8:20 PM last week to get a cupcake on a whim after they closed. Their ATM wasn't on a few days before because of the ATM's credit card reader needing to be serviced, and so I came back again to get my Red Velvet cupcake and another seeing that the ATM is finally on and operating. The process seemed to be going by smoothly until after paying for the cupcakes, the compartment door that opens up for you to receive the cupcakes did not open. I stood there in shock that I would leave with no cupcakes and my money possibly being taken from me. After 10 minutes of waiting for the door to hopefully open, I took pictures of the incident. The next day when Sprinkles was open, I arrived and spoke to two kind and accommodating ladies working there. I explained my situation. And just like all of my previous experiences visiting Sprinkles, they were friendly as always. Since I had work soon, I couldn't pick up my cupcakes, but they wrote my name down and told me I could pick them up on my next day off, AND they are going to give me an extra cupcake for free as an apology for the inconvenience! When I came to Sprinkles the third time, they presented me with the cupcakes I ordered and the extra Toffee cupcake! Thank you so much for being there for your customers with your grand customer service and cupcakes! I definitely want to keep coming back since I associate Sprinkles with deliciousness and friendliness!

I'll always remember the moist rich velvety cake and lots of cream cheese frosting with that signature sugar dot. Ah nostalgia! Tried a box of 6 for fun - red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, blueberry lemon, carrot, and cookies & cream. They were tasty the day of but a few got dry the next day. The prices are also higher which I get due to the larger size and quality ingredients. However, the cupcake world has since gotten more saturated and they aren't the big fish in the pond anymore. Ordering was convenient via the self kiosk and cupcakes were ready for pickup in a breeze. There is ample seating inside too! If I'm in the area, I'd still get my fave red velvet and the cookies & cream!
