Andy B: Hard to think of a spot with a better beer selection in SF. California heavy draft selection with hard to find brews from top brewers. Fried chicken sando is top notch.
Bommy: Never that crowded or loud, it's a great spot to bring out-of-towners who like craft beer. No large plate vegetarian dishes but the hand cut kennebec fries are amazing. Super thick wedge fries!
Eater: The main attraction is the 36 rotating draft beers with an outdoor beer garden, but there's also a menu of bar food that veers toward the hearty side, like beef cheek poutine & fried pig tails. Read more.

William Gunn: Tiny & quiet with a highly unusual wine selection. They do bottles to go & will let you taste a few things before you buy.

Vivek Venkatram: A unique liquid nitrogen process and the finest natural ingredients ensure each made-to-order scoop is a creamy yet light, heavenly treat.
Stefan Mojsilović: Fresh waffles and excellent ice cream.
Veronika Liewald-Fuchs: Ice cream has great smooth texture, but is somewhat lacking a full body. Given the price tag I’d say it’s ok.

Elif: They let you try all the tastes and I highly recommend everything! Even the weird sounding combinations might end up the best taste in your mouth! Extraordinary! Salted Caramel, pear&blue cheese ❤️
Shalin Mantri: Strawberry Tres Leches is one of the best ice cream flavors I’ve had in my life. Definitely beats Bi-rite!
Nathan J: The best ice cream in the Bay. Salted caramel is my go to but they always have something new that’s out of this world.

Rodrиго Ривера: Very interesting flavors. Original creations. Different matcha variations are definitely a highlight. Friendly staff. Creamy high-quality ice cream. Highly recommended. 4 out of 5 cones
Eva Wei: Always has three different types of matcha. Non-dairy section on the left. Churro cones on Saturdays.
Pam ☕️ O: The magic wonders of chimney churro cones are only available on Saturday from 2-4pm. Which is a good thing because I would stand in line for one everyday otherwise.

Evgeniy Dankovtsev: New favorite place🤤. Try hojicha cheese tea - tastes like melted ice cream with a subtle taste of tea (and not over sweet, just the right amount) - heavenly!
Tonya Mezrich: Kaki Gori , vanilla with cornflakes and mochi.
steen: Allows samples in case you’re debating between matcha and the seasonal flavour.
