About This Spot

A tiny artisan ice cream shop on a Dogpatch corner that's been making some of the best ice cream in SF since 2009. Flavors change constantly — salted caramel, black sesame, Meyer lemon. Small shop, no website, no phone — you just show up. The line is the menu board. Unpretentious, perfect, and exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes Dogpatch special.

Planning Notes

💡

There's no posted menu — just ask what flavors they have today. Kids can sample before committing. The salted caramel is the safe bet for picky eaters. It's a tiny shop, so grab your cones and eat outside. Cash is preferred but they take cards. Combine with a walk to Crane Cove Park or Esprit Park for a full Dogpatch outing.
