Ice Cream Bar
About This Spot
A 1930s-style soda fountain with marble counters, vintage decor, and housemade ice cream that's legitimately excellent. Sundaes, floats, and milkshakes served in proper glassware. The retro vibe is a trip for kids and adults. Parents can get boozy floats and craft cocktails while kids go wild on sundaes. One of the most Instagrammable family spots in SF.
What to Expect
Parent Tips
Expect a wait on weekends — it's popular. The sundaes are huge, so one can easily be split between two kids. Parents: the boozy floats and craft cocktails are legit. Sit at the marble counter for the full soda fountain experience. Everything is served in real glassware, so keep an eye on little ones.

Family Reviews
"My kids think they time-traveled to the 1950s. The marble counters, the vintage stools, the sundaes in glass dishes — they've never seen anything like it. And the ice cream is genuinely amazing."
— Cole Valley parent
"We split one sundae between both kids and it's still almost too much. The portions are generous. I get a boozy float and everyone's happy. Our Sunday ritual."
— SF parent
"This is the place I take out-of-town visitors with kids. It's uniquely SF, totally photogenic, and the ice cream actually lives up to the aesthetic. Win-win-win."
