Cute ice cream shop that sells a variety of flavors with pretty interesting ones + classic flavors. I was able to get a sample of several flavors and decided on the lychee and rly liked it! It’s sweet but lychee flavor is there along with small bits of it (junior size is only $5 and it was plenty to keep me satisfied).

Must stop place! If you're heading to San Francisco, be sure to stop here for a delicious treat. I personally loved the Java chip ice cream — it had an incredible flavor and some chocolaty goodness that made it even more special. My husband's favorite was the black raspberry marble; he said the flavor is unlike any other and would highly recommend it to everyone!

I am glad that I have visited the first Swensen’s. Although the taste of the Ice Creams are different than Swensen’s in Thailand.

This is the best ice cream we’ve ever had! Hands-down excellent! We were wonderfully greeted by Andrew and Chere. Andrew took the time to share ice cream samples and explain the flavors with joy. We decided on lemon custard, which was delightful, creamy, and not too tart or sweet. Just perfect. Our experience overall was like walking into a 1950s ice cream parlor where Andrew took the time to share stories and old-fashioned ice cream delight with us. We will definitely be back again when we visit San Francisco! Thank you, Swensen’s 🥰🍦
