Pistachio and peanut butter indulgence Sunday's are the way to go
Alexander GrantJuly 4, 2013Amazing as always, I get the combo of peanut butter and cookies & cream on a waffle cone. Mmm mmm!!
Love peanut butter? Get a scoop (or two) of 'Peanut Butter Indulgence' in a waffle cone. Good stuff :P'
Protip: Get a half gallon and go the express line on the right. In, out in 1 min.
Greg WohlenbergOctober 13, 2010Killer ice cream in the mission. So many exotic flavors it will make your head spin. Parking and long lines add to the adrenaline rush!
The mango, macupuno, and Mexican chocolate flavored are ridic. Soon good!
Youngjae ParkJune 5, 2014Ube ice cream is really unique, Mango was good too! The store is really packed though.
Leslie HAugust 4, 2011Lunchtime on a Sunday is a surprisingly great time to visit Mitchell's. Bonus is that you can have an ice cream lunch. Who doesn't love that?- Tantek ÇelikJanuary 9, 2013Get a chocolate coffee 50/50 milkshake and add chocolate syrup too. You won't regret it.
There is parking around back. If you get a spot reward yourself with an extra scoop🍨🍨
Begz B (AM)September 6, 2013Theres always a long line. But they had a fast service. Worth the wait all along! 5stars for their icecreamsss
BommyNovember 17, 2015Not sure why it's so popular as the ice cream just tastes normal. Do not get the avocado flavor as it tastes like nothing. Waffle cone is tasty but there are better ice cream shops in sf.
Markeda CottonhamApril 3, 2015Awesome ice cream, any flavor!!! Love chocolate chip cookie dough... All time fav
Andrew LefkowitsApril 29, 2010If they have Lime Tequila, get it! Like a great margarita on a cone. If you're feeling indulgent, Peanut Butter Indulgence is amazing, but you can feel it slow your heart. Read more
The orange sherbet and pear sorbet are absolutely refreshing. Don't forget to grab a number.
Pamela >^~^< HowellJune 8, 2013The parking lot is very tight-be careful! Great ice cream, worth the wait in line.
Coconut Pineapple es major! Don't try a quick trip here on a sunny day or a rainy day! This place is always poppin!!! No ice cream is better than theirs, loards or fentons doesn't even cone close!
Ben CoffeeSeptember 16, 2014Love the milk shakes. Finished mine too fast. Cookies and cream is an oldie but a goodie
Mega packed all weekend evenings (Starting thurs). Go on a weekday instead to avoid lines.
Get the ube, it's sweet like vanilla but with an extra kick!
Order a pint with two flavors - they know to pack each flavor on each side of the container rather than on top of eachother (unlike at another ice cream joint).
Jeannette S.August 22, 2010There's undoubtedly a wait, regardless of when you go. A pre-packed 1/2 gal is the way to go to avoid the wait since there's a separate line for those.
Nana ApostolopoulouMay 22, 2017Good ice cream, but need to wait in line for at least 20 minutes on a weekend
Melon LJuly 15, 2015I don't care what 7x7 says, Tropical 4 or straight up Mango are the flavors to get.
Alexa (@ladylexy) AndrzejewskiDecember 2, 2012Try the Egg Nog And Peppermint Candy Ice Cream - @teddyg's sighting made me do it.
Ian DionisioAugust 4, 2010Can't go wrong with the new York cherry! Been having it since I was a little child. Love this place. Bi-Rite doesn't come close.
Gene MiguelMarch 30, 2010My favorite ice cream shop, more than Bi-Rite and HumphrySlocombe. Great tasting, no frills ice cream. Try the ube and macapuno! Read more
