Top ice cream. There's another location on Divisadero if lines turn you off.
Joel AntipuestoDecember 4, 2009Got to have Sam's Sundae: Chocolate ice cream with bergamot olive oil, maldon sea salt and whipped cream. Also, the Salted Caramel ice cream is to die for. Read more
Jess KilzDecember 14, 2011Get the chocolate coconut vegan ice cream with a sugar cone and salted peanuts. Nomz.
Jaime EsquivelSeptember 16, 2011Basil is a mind trip. Sweet and salty at the same time. Tastes like pesto ice cream. So good.
GourmetLiveOctober 17, 2010The salted caramel remains justifiably famous, but don’t overlook the subtly spicy honey lavender and nuanced balsamic strawberry.
GQ MagazineAugust 22, 2012Most fantastic flavor: Orange Cardamom. Like bacon, cardamom makes everything better.
Skip the line and get a soft serve. Creme Fresh is nomnomnomom!
Jonathan VuSeptember 21, 2010Honey Lavender and Earl Grey (when they have it) is a light, slightly floral combo. Great for a hot day.
Tasting TableJune 20, 2012Get the classic salted-caramel, though you really can't make a bad choice: Read more
The Sam's sundae is one of the best deserts you could ever eat. Chocolate, olive oil, salt and whipped cream
Michelle MNovember 13, 2010The coconut chocolate is very creamy and tasty... plus it is milk-free (coconut milk is used) and vegan.
7x7's Big Eat 2012 says the salted-caramel ice cream is delicious. Yum!
Joseph TamMarch 22, 2011Salted Caramel definitely the best, but ask to try all the flavors and see for yourself
Carole ReyesJanuary 17, 2011roasted banana goes great with salted caramel. ask for a cup with a cone flipped over and the combo tastes even better.
Scottie MilagroNovember 17, 2014Don't wait in line, just go across the street and grab a pint to eat at home instead.
David StrasserFebruary 17, 2012The salted caramel gets a lot of people talking, but toasted coconut is hard to beat.
Hate to be a "me too," but despite how it sounds, DO order a Sam's Sundae: chocolate ice cream, bergamot-scented olive oil, Maldon sea salt and fresh whipped cream. A revelation!
Try the Brown Sugar Ice Cream - with ginger caramel swirl mmmm
