About This Spot

Old-school ice cream parlor on Geary that's been scooping since 1959. No frills, just really good ice cream at fair prices. The banana split is a kid rite of passage. Small shop with a few tables — most people take it to go. Flavors are classic (no lavender-matcha-whatever), which is exactly the point.

Planning Notes

💡

The banana split is enormous — easily shared between two kids or a parent and child. Cash preferred but they take cards now. Flavors are straightforward — vanilla, chocolate, strawberry — and that's what makes it great. Small shop so take it to go if you have a stroller. Prices are genuinely affordable for SF ice cream.
