first time to Tucker's to try out their ice cream on a warm sunny day in the area. They had a great selection of ice cream flavors and the scoopers there were awesome. The ambience had a nice sitdown area inside to enjoy the ice cream read more

I came by a few days ago after having dinner at home. I'm always buying ice cream for the house and never at a shop, and I missed the nostalgia that ice cream from a shop brings. It was my first time visiting Tucker's and it was packed the brim. Good. My expectations are up there as I look at the line. A few flavors caught my eye, mainly the marble raspberry. My choice came out as two scoops of butter pecan in a waffle cone. I've never met an ice cream shop that I didn't like. read more

I came across this shop randomly while exploring Alameda. I can't resist an ice cream shop so of course I went in. There was a pleasant hubbub inside and a bit of a line but enough people behind the counter that it wasn't that long a wait. I got a cone that was terribly decadent and found a table out of the way to enjoy it. I'd decided on a chocolate dipped waffle cone, because why not? They were freshly dipped -- the chocolate hadn't even dried yet! That made it an extra treat because I was able to lick the chocolate off. Because I was being indulgent, I got chocolate peanut butter as my scoop andi must say it was quite generous as a single scoop! The ice cream was delicious; maybe not top five for me, but I'd have it again! It was a lovely treat for a summer Saturday! read more

1349 Park St Alameda, CA 94501 Tucker's Ice Cream has been in business since 1941. I've lived in Alameda for most of my life. Whenever you discuss ice cream, someone will always say "Tucker's is better!" Maybe that was true years ago, but not today. They have competition in town from Baskin-Robbins, Loards, CookieBar, and soon.....Cold Stone Creamery. The last time I was at Tucker's it was a slow day. I peeked inside, saw a few people, so I decided to go in. Having ice cream at Tucker's is a hometown tradition. But FYI, it's not the original location. That's why it doesn't look like an ice cream shop. The current Tucker's Ice Cream shop used to be a restaurant. The old location is down Park Street, at the corner of Webb Ave. Service was great! Four people were working behind the counter. I asked for 2 scoops in a cup.....chocolate fantasy and mint chip. Price $8.00. I sat down at a small table to enjoy my ice cream. Hmm, I didn't experience any "super creamed" ice cream. It's not super dense and creamy. It does have a sweeter taste, but not much else. I'm not sure if the new owners of Tucker's changed anything. I heard that some old flavors are gone, and new ones were added. BTW, you have to bus your table. ------------------------------------------------------- So if you're at Park Street Downtown Alameda, go try Tucker's Ice Cream. Located between Central Ave & Alameda Ave. Street parking. I like to park over at Chochenyo Park and walk over. read more

We went to Bubble Planet. Th kids specifically asked to go to Tuckers, for their mango ice cream. Sooooo good. They also realized the burgundy cherry is amazing as well. Both are super nostalgic from my childhood. I don't think you can go wrong with any flavors here. Also, it was good timing because they also had Zinfandel flavor. I'm not sure it's the same but years back we went to a Rosenblum winery event and they served a Zinfandel ice cream from Tuckers. My husband says it tastes the same so I'm gonna stick with that story! Hurry! Run, don't walk! read more

Tucker's has long been an Alameda staple. The newer owners are nicer than the previous, however there can be a bit of inconsistency with the customer service staff in terms of training from some of our interactions. Otherwise, the ice cream is always consistent-the cookies and cream and coffee break are our favorites. read more

Very nice staff! They encouraged us to try flavors and I ended up loving all of the ones that I sampled. We ended up sharing a banana split among 6 people, and we got ube, apple pie, and salted butter caramel. The salted butter caramel was my favorite, and I loved the crunch of the nut bits that they sprinkled on top. The banana was unfinished though, since it tasted too artificially sweet read more

This place is a very nostalgic ice cream parlor in Alameda. It has a very "lived-in" feel. They also have an extensive selection of ice cream cakes by the slice, which you don't often see. 3/5: I tasted a bunch of flavors. Most of the flavors are very muted, as if the high fat level or high egg yolk contact, was muffling the flavor. Most of the flavors are too sweet for me. The high sweetness level is great for families with small children. read more

I've been coming here all my life. At times I felt the shop could be improved. The correct location certainly needs some TLC. But the bathrooms are well taken care of. It still feels like a small town ice cream shop and most importantly still rich, creamy, smooth, sweet ice cream. These days I take my kids in regularly and recently one of the servers (Gabe I think) remembered our order. Just a nice little touch on top of the quality ice cream. I do wish they had little kid sizes of T-shirts though. read more

It wasn't busy when we walked in but a big crowd came in after us. We stayed to eat our ice cream there and it was a bit on the warm side, inside. We ordered sweet butter caramel, ube and cookies and cream and enjoyed every cool bite. Perfect for this warm weather we're having! read more

This review is for two different visits recently. The first time, I tried both the honey lavender, which is quite sweet and honestly tastes more like sweet cream with hints of lavender, and the marble butterscotch which is also really sweet. I ultimately opted to get the honey lavender, single scoop in a cup. It's soft and smooth in texture, and I feel Tucker's single scoop size is quite large, so maybe a junior scoop would've actually been adequate for anyone not looking for a large treat. The second time, I tried the pistachio, pumpkin cheesecake, strawberries and cream, toasted almond, strawberries and cream, and toasted almond before deciding what to get. Pistachio - you can taste the actual pistachio, which I thought was nice for texture. Pumpkin cheesecake - quite sweet, and actually surprisingly sour. It was a stronger-tasting flavor than I expected. Strawberries and cream - very sweet, it's more like vanilla cream with strawberry jam on it. Toasted almond - quite nutty, I liked it a lot as it was sort of savory but also sweet. I ultimately opted for a double junior scoop of pumpkin cheesecake and toasted almond and was pleasantly surprised by how much ice cream they packed in. The workers have been friendly and patient, and did not put any limit on how many samples I could get. They also have a few seasonal flavors that change periodically. There's a lot of indoor tables including an upstairs level, but not any outdoor tables that seem to belong directly to Tucker's; however, if you walk just a short distance, you can easily find benches along the street. read more

I've been coming to Tucker's since I was a kid. I can honestly say the quality of the ice cream has gone thumbs down. I was just there yesterday with my 4 year old and the ice cream flat out tasted like soap. She got a waffle cone of rainbow sherbet and I got a one scoop sundae of toasted almond. Her ice cream tasted so plain and like soap. My sundae was awful, mostly whip cream and soap chips. It was terrible. We both didn't finish it and ended up throwing it away. What a waste of money. Next time I'll just go to the grocery store or Baskin Robins. So disappointing. The girl that helped us was nice but there was a long line and she was doing everything herself while about three other coworkers were in the corner giggling and whispering like they were at school. Come on Tuckers do better! read more

Went on a sunny spring weekend, so the line was long and full of families with kids coming from a soccer game I think. There were lots of flavors to choose from. The chocolate dipped waffle cone was yummy, they dip it in front of you. I got some kind of chocolate/brownie flavor (I don't remember exactly) and it was quite melted when it was handed to me. Because it was crowded, there was no place to sit at the time. It seems like a popular, classic ice cream parlor. Only street parking available I believe. read more

I love a good ice cream, especially if it's got local flavor and some quirks. Tucker's fits the bill. Along Park Street in Alameda, the space looks like an old Spanish villa and they got some quirky signs and slogans ("Life is short, eat dessert first"). And the ice cream is great! I got the fudge brownie on a cake cone - smooth, creamy with big chewy chunks of brownie. It was so smooth, they had to put it in a cup with the cone atop like a hat. I also noticed their "baby cones" which are tiny little cones for babies. That's cool. A nice cap to the evening, if you're traveling through Alameda, stop at Tucker's for a fun ice cream stop! read more

This review is specifically about the female cafe manager on duty Sunday morning November 1, 2026…read more And WOW. She was SO unnecessarily rude to my sweet little family. For context, we're regulars. We come nearly every week after our littlest's soccer practice for milk steamers and snacks. We also grab our breads and coffee for the week when we're down the street drinking other things at Almanac, and we regularly recommend Firebrand to friends and family. We genuinely LOVE the bread, pizza, sandwiches, coffee, and overall vibe. So here's what happened today. My husband (a nicer-than-necessary Southern gentleman) was flying solo with our two kids (ages 2 and 6) after soccer practice. On their way outside, our 2-year-old dropped his milk steamer because, well, he's 2. Womp, womp. My husband, being the considerate human he is, tracked down the manager to alert her to the spill and ask for help cleaning it up. She walked over, looked at the spill, looked at him, smacked her lips like this was the biggest inconvenience of her entire day, and said, "Whatever, I'll clean it up later." She then informed him he'd need to get back in line and pay for another one. Meanwhile, our toddler is absolutely beside himself, literally crying over spilled milk, and the manager is offering approximately zero grace or help. When my husband asked, "Really, there's nothing you can do to help me out here?" she cheerfully replied, "Yep! Those are the rules!" So my husband, hands full with two kids (one of whom is now having a full-blown meltdown), gets back in line. By the time they get back in line, it has snaked around. Thankfully, the sweet barista who had already helped them was happy to slide him through without charging the $2.25 for another KIDS MILK STEAMER. Problem solved, right? WRONG. As my husband is handing the replacement drink to our now-consoled toddler, the manager circles back for round two. She asks if he got what he needed, then turns to the barista and asks, "Did he pay for that?" The barista, clearly possessing the common sense and basic human decency missing from this interaction, responds, "C'mon. It's just kids' milk." But the manager doubles down: "It's the rules because it wasn't our fault he dropped it." WE ARE LITERALLY TALKING ABOUT SIX OUNCES OF MILK, PEOPLE. At this point, my husband says, "Okay, then come on! Come ring me up so I can go enjoy my Sunday with my kids." He is perfectly willing to pay his $2.25 and move on with his life. Instead, this woman proceeds to hold him at the register and LECTURE him because she apparently took personal offense to the barista comping a toddler's replacement milk. And the grand finale? She refuses to let him pay, telling him, "Because YOU made a big deal about it, so just don't worry about it." I honestly cannot make this up. What an embarrassing display of "customer service" and an even more embarrassing use of whatever authority she thinks she's wielding over SIX OUNCES OF MILK. Firebrand, we love your business and have happily supported it at various locations over the years. But someone needs to remind this particular manager that customer service is about more than enforcing rules. It's also about exercising a little judgment, showing some grace, and, perhaps most importantly, not making an already-upset two-year-old's day harder over spilled milk. Someone come get your lil' manager!

While it took some coordination on my part, we all made it and it's the best insider peek into this Bay Area institution that started in a small bakery that has grown so very much! Our guide Jennifer was a wealth of knowledge and so very fun to lead us through the history and operations of this business. The average person just doesn't appreciate all the work that goes into the foods that we eat. We saw the warehouse where the raw goods are stored and then onto the production floor! We saw the flour coming out into the massive vats, loaves coming out of ovens, focaccia going into convection ovens and all the steps in between. We were gifted an amazing bag of products that included a sweet baguette, sour battard, a bag of granola, bag of croutons, a morning bun, bag of cinnamon bread, biscotti and a bag of cinnamon bread. Unbelievable!!! They are such a family oriented organization that values community that they regularly donate product out. Items that come back from the stores and those that have an opps are sent out to become feed for chickens! I've always loved Semifreddis and now, I love them more. There are no public tours.

It's the strongest pandan flavored anything I've ever had. You can smell the pandan before you even bite into it.

It's sad for me to give this place 1 star, but there's a good reason for it. Let's start off, I've been going to Tucker's for years. Their ice creams are delicious. No question about it. My family goes here about once a week, and we always take our friends here. The reason I won't be coming back to this place anytime soon is because the horrible way they treated my father. About 4 days ago, my dad, me and my daughter came in at noon for some ice cream. My dad headed to the fridge to pick out some package ice cream. He was not there for more than 20 seconds when the owner (The white man who always where a hat) came over and hassled him. He yelled at my father "CAN I HELP YOU?" He seemed annoyed that my father was simply standing there to choose a flavor. There was not that many customers in the shop at the time, and no one else was at the fridge. My father then picked out a box. Dad then turned to me and asked if I want one for myself. I indicated no. The owner was still hovering over my dad, and apparently was upset that I wouldn't want a box. So he yelled at my dad again "CLOSE THE DOOR TO THE FRIDGE!!!" This was a shock to us since my dad has hardly opened the fridge door for more than 10 seconds. The owner didn't say please or anything. He was patronizing to my dad, even though we are customers in the process of buying stuff from him. My dad is 65 years old. We then went to the counter to pay for the box and order a couple of extra cones for my daughter. The owner continued to berate my dad for opening the door to the fridge. He went on and on about how his ice cream would melt. It makes no sense to us since he dad had only open the door for 10 sec and was asking me if I also want one. My dad never said a word to him. He also shook his head, disappointed at the way he was treated. The other owner, Kate Pryo, rang us up for our purchase. I think the owner guy is her husband. He is one of the rudest person I've ever met. He never said a word of "sorry" or "thank you" to us. I don't know why he was so antagonistic to my dad eventhough we are his loyal customers. I wonder if he treats other customers this way, or just my dad because he is just a short, old Asian man. I don't think Tucker's is going to miss my business very much. They have hundreds of customers everyday. it just sadden me that right in the heart of the Park Street business district, there could be such a mean, bigot storeowner. We Alamedans pride ourselves on being nice, kind and tolerant folks. This owner has no place in our town. read more

This place has the worst service ever. Rude, rude, rude. That's the only word that can describe the owner (the old white guy with a cap). I've heard a lot of bad things about this guy, but tonight I finally experienced it first hand. Towards closing time, my daughter and I stopped by Tucker to pick up some ice cream. Granted, their ice cream is very good. No question about it. We were looking for a specific flavor. Since none of their boxes are see through or have a picture of the flavor, it took us a while to locate what we want from the fridge. All a sudden, the guy in the cap ran to us and yelled out: "Don't do that!" He yanked my 5 year old daughter to the side and slammed the fridge door shut. Then he grabbed the box I had in my hand. I told him that I want the "Chocolate Mint" as well as the "Coconut Pineapple" box that he just yanked from me. He was angry because we didn't happen to know where they were and had opened the fridge door a tad too long. He then handed me the boxes and stormed off. A smart and reasonable owner would offer to help his customer with a smile and a thank you. But this guy was just rude to us because he thinks he's the boss of a popular business, so he can get away with being rude to his customers. Guess what buddy, Safeway is a popular business too and they don't care if you open their fridge door for 5 second to pick up ice cream. They don't scream at your face and assault your kid daughter. I could have pressed charge against this guy for grabbing my child, or even socked him in the face. But I decide to use this moment to teach my daughter that it's wrong to be mean to others and to be a bully. It was not a pleasant experience, so I hope she will learn from it and treat her friends with respect. The woman behind the counter didn't offer any apology for her husband's vulgar behavior. I guess it's so common place that no one really care anymore. The way I see it, Tucker will continue to be popular regardless of their horrible customer service. Parents should continue to bring their children here for great ice cream, and to teach them a lesson about being nice and civil towards others. read more

Pineapple Coconut. This flavor was a delightful surprise, truly a highlight of the visit. The tropical sweetness of the pineapple was perfectly balanced by the creamy, rich coconut, creating a refreshing and genuinely satisfying taste. The texture was smooth and luscious, a true testament to good quality ice cream. For anyone seeking a taste of the tropics or a refreshing fruity option, this is definitely a must-try. However, the Black Cherry was unfortunately a different story. While Tucker's generally boasts creamy and flavorful ice cream, their Black Cherry didn't quite hit the mark for me. The cherry flavor itself felt somewhat subdued, and the overall impression was less vibrant and intense than I would have hoped. Perhaps my expectations were set high, as I've always been a big fan of Loard's Black Cherry, which, in my opinion, delivers a much more pronounced and authentic cherry punch. Loard's manages to capture that deep, rich black cherry essence that I crave, something that Tucker's version didn't quite achieve. In conclusion, Tucker's Ice Cream certainly has its strengths, with their Pineapple Coconut being a prime example of their ability to craft delicious and well-balanced flavors. While the Black Cherry didn't impress as much as its competitor, the overall experience at Tucker's remains enjoyable thanks to their welcoming ambiance and diverse selection. I'd highly recommend stopping by for a scoop of their delightful Pineapple Coconut, and perhaps exploring other flavors beyond the cherry if you're a connoisseur of that particular taste. read more

Worst Service Ever! I came here with my girlfriend to have desert after dinner at Burma Superstar. While perusing the flavors at the counter, the old white guy with the cream colored hat started yelling at us for taking too long. He is the rudest, angriest dude I ever met. The other workers who look like young high school students were really scared of him. The old man tell us that if we don't pick a flavor than we can leave! WTF? Is this how he treats all of his customers? We waited like 10 minutes in line just for the chance to choose the flavor, then to be treated like shit? I was really upset but didn't want to ruin my date, so I bought some cones for us. We set at the window to eat the cones. The coconut ice cream was really good. The gf wanted to get some to go for later, so I went to the freezer to buy a box. I was just moving some boxes in the freezer aside so I can get to the coconut box when the old troll accosted me again. This time he screamed at me to close the damn freezer door. He went on a rant about how electricity costs a lot if I hold the door open like that. The heck? I just paid like $8 for 2 cones, and I'm about to buy a $12 ice cream box. The old troll is bitching to me about electricity cost? What a cheap bastard. I promptly left the store without buying anymore stuff. Come here at your old risk! The old white man in the cap is watching you, looking for an excuse to boss you around. read more

A historical establishment renowned for its homemade ice cream. My friends and I headed to Tucker's on a Sunday night, eager to satisfy our ice cream cravings. Luckily, there wasn't much of a wait, thanks to the abundance of staff on hand. The Tin Roof Sundae was a delightful treat, boasting creamy vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate syrup and almonds! Opting for a kids scoop was just right for me - not only did it satisfy my craving, but it also saved me a dollar compared to the single scoop option. I appreciated that the ice cream melted at a leisurely pace, allowing us to sit and chat without feeling rushed. However, I couldn't help but notice that the seating area could be expanded, especially considering the spacious two-floor layout of the building. While the second floor seemed to be primarily used for storage, it might be for the best to ensure the safety of their customers. All in all, Tucker's is a fantastic choice for a quick ice cream fix on a late night out in Alameda. read more

STAY AWAY from Tucker's Ice cream! I unfortunately had the displeasure of meeting the rude owner of this place tonight. Mar 2007. I was walking down Park street with my family and so I decided to drop in and get something sweet. He basically gave me an attitude that he doesn't want my business. Seems like his "charm" bubbles up and he can't control himself. I've never been treated so rudely. If you read the yelp reviewers of Tucker's, you'll find others who agree with me. And you'll see that he is a equal opportunity offender. btw, he's white, and I'm asian. So probably he thinks he can treat minorities like dirt. I've lived in Alameda for 10 years, and I'm not going to Tucker's ever again. There are many worthy ice cream establishments that Alamedans can patronize. Tucker's unfortunately is not a friendly place to go. So vote with your pocketbooks. Stay away from this rotten-owner establishment. read more

Tuckers is OK, but it's not the home made ice cream it might once have been, or you might think it is. It's just stuff they buy in from a supplier that's repackaged with their labels. Especially the ice cream cakes, there's nothing special about these over going to Baskin Robbins. The real reason to stay away from Tuckers is the two owners, who both have a very Jekyll and Hyde personality, though Mr. Hyde seems to be present mostly. I've witnessed them on many occasions belittle and chastise customers, sometimes children. Still, they portray themselves as pillars of the community. Trust me, most of their neighbors at the shops on Park Street know all about it and are impressed at their success in spite of they fact that they're not very nice and David can come of as very creepy. I'll go here if I'm with a group, but would never go out of my way to come here. read more

GIFT CARD SCAM? I have been the biggest fan of tuckers my entire life, but my experience last night with my friends was extremely upsetting and embarrassing. I had a good friend who wanted to cover all our ice creams with their gift card and we were super excited. We got our ice cream (it is the best ice cream!) and were checking out and they said "sorry, we don't have the authority to use this gift card, our owner has to be here". WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? My friend bought a 50$ gift card and they can't authorize it? After being told there is nothing they can do (he said he sees we have the credit on the POS, he said we have to pay by card and that's our only option." It was a really bad experience and poor customer service. Why offer gift cards if you can't use them? read more

Wow I didn't believe the other one star reviews at first.... I thought "racist white supremacist ice cream shop"? Sounds pretty far fetched.... Well its not! I'm white and while the owner Kate I believe was friendly to me, she treated the people in front of me (Hispanic couple) with such disrespect, and the staff... don't get me started... it's rare I see someone in the Bay Area that is such a waste of human life. I can say the owners of Tucker's are despicable people. Do not patronize their business, these people deserve to get shut down. The way they yell at the poor staff is verbally abusive and unacceptable. The ice cream is okay, but the people who run this business not. read more

Tuckers is the worst. The ice cream is only OK...they don't make their ice cream there. The original Tuckers made the ice cream on the spot...you can go to other places and get the same ice cream. They do make some things but most of the ice cream is made by a company that distributes to other ice cream shops. The owner can be so rude. After standing in line for 25 minutes to buy our ice cream, we sat down to eat it and were told we would have to take it outside because it was closing time...they should have told us that BEFORE we made our purchase. It was cold outside and about 10 people were all sent out. I have NEVER been back. read more

Horrifying customer service this earlier this evening. Owner is rude and probably a racist. White male owner was so disrespectful to my Filipina friend. Told her to move her chair so that he doesn't have to paint the walls, apparently her chair was too close. We decided to leave altogether but the guy was out in the back and my friend's Caucasian husband confronted him, the owner tried to retract his statement but the damage was already done. Plus any apology from that racist idiot wouldn't have been sincere. Boycott Tucker's! It is such a shame that the owner has no customer service skills whatsoever. read more

Tucker's in Alameda, CA, is a classic ice cream spot that's become a staple in the community. Their ice cream is incredibly creamy and rich, making it a treat we look forward to each time we visit our family in Alameda. The ambiance is charmingly old school, housed in a Spanish-style two-story building that adds to its nostalgic appeal. The service is great--simple and efficient, with friendly staff scooping up your favorite flavors. But the real star here is the ice cream itself. If you're in Alameda, a trip to Tucker's is a must. It's simply great! read more

Tucker's has been an Alameda staple since the beginning of time. They offer a wide variety of flavors, even vegan-friendly options!
