The Ice Cream Bar

How can you not love The Ice Cream Bar? The location of Cole Valley is great for this gem and love the fact that despite offering boozy ice cream, families and those of any ages can join in on the fun. They have a small bar area but we all got non alcoholic drinks. The affogato HITS I got butterscotch ice cream and it came with espresso pre-mixed. My sister got vanilla affogato and she said she really liked it

This place is so cute and mostly fun. We sat at the soda bar and were told we couldn't order ice cream there.... okay, but we wanted sodas and ice cream, too... but whatever. So we go to order our affogato and root beer float at the ice cream counter... and we weren't sure how/where to pay, so we order our Mr.Pepper too and paid for it all... then we sat at the soda bar, and the soda jerk made everything for us anyway. Why was it so confusing? Why couldn't we just order it at the soda bar? (As if they aren't parts of the same establishment.) It would have been nice if the soda jerk was at least a little bit friendly. I hate sitting at a bar feeling like I'm not welcome there. The Mr.Pepper soda was SO GOOD. The root beer float was good. The affogato was NOT good - it was like an iceberg- a scoop of ice cream floating in a sea of strong-ish coffee, not espresso.

Got there before they opened and there were already people waiting for the business to open, I took that as a good sign. Nice Art-Deco design. I had the Dublin Honey, my daughter had the Fortunado's Reviver and her friend had the Royal Red. Both of those were tasty. I think on my next visit I'm going to try the Milkshake/Malt...those looked good. Had tastes of their ice cream and was not disappointed either

Always a treat. The Root Beer float is a favorite. I’m glad the soda glasses are back. A real soda is not the same in a plastic cup. Sitting at the soda fountain watching the Soda Jerk is the second best part. The ceiling is from an old building in Mackinac, Michigan. Great nostalgic vibe with cool little details throughout.

I recently visited Ice Cream Bar and was blown away by the cool, vintage ambiance of the place. The decor is very unique and adds to the overall experience. The indoor seating is ample and comfortable, making it a great place to hang out with friends. The staff at Ice Cream Bar is also very kind and welcoming, making you feel right at home. I ordered the Brownie with Ice Cream and opted for the Creme Fraiche and Butterscotch flavors. While the brownie may have been dry, the ice cream was absolutely delicious! Both flavors were rich and creamy, and definitely worth trying. Overall, Ice Cream Bar is a great place to visit for its vintage and cool ambiance, ample indoor seating, friendly staff, and delicious ice cream.

Excellent quality ice cream. Excellent service. A great experience all around. Flavors are pretty straight forward which I love. The place is very clean with a awesome retro feel/look. Can't wait to come back to try different flavors. The Banana Pudding ice cream was delightful. The Milk Chocolate ice was amazing. Highly recommend the Ice Cream Bar
