    A collection of around 500 flavors, about 50 of which are available at any given time. They range from the classics, to intriguing mixes like "Bumpy Freeway," to Black Sesame & the notorious Durian. Read more

    Their Green Tea Ice Cream is the best green tea ice cream we've ever had!!! It's been our favorite for years and years now. And if you get a chance, also try the Durian over cream.

    What a '90s throwback!! Felt like a kid again seeing the kids come and hang out after school, buying old school candy like Ring Pops and Air Heads!! Black sesame is def the way to go. Love this place.

    Whoa, first off, great customer service. They were so happy to explain each flavor to me. Second off, the ice cream was incredible. What a little gem hidden over in the sunset.

    Large selection of flavors leaning towards tropical and Asian palettes. Come here for the selection and the SF Mom & Pop old school ice cream vibes.

    Single size with two flavors was more than enough for me. Staff indeed is very friendly, even asking me which of the two scoops should be on top. 😊

    been coming here for over 10 years. green tea is still a favorite, but all their icecreams have gotten more fluffy and "airy"

    Peanut butter Oreo and black walnut! The almond pistachio tastes a bit artificial

    Polly Ann's own Popsicles are delicious. The Red Bean flavor tastes good. Anyways, I'll have to make a stop here for ice cream.

    I got a large milkshake. Very disappointing and weeeeaaak. It was all milk and no ice cream. I guess the 'thick milkshake' on the menu must be the one with actual ice cream in it. :\

    Always spin the wheel. There's no reason to do anything else and every reason to do this.

    The pistachio flavor's boss, but I came here to try the durian because it's famously weird-smelling!

    It’s OK. The flavors are unremarkable. It’s not bad but there are much better ice cream shops in the city.
