“ Great mini branch of the famed ice cream from SF about 5 minutes walk from 19th St Bart station, its located in The Hive group of business that include a cool hair salon and great restaurants and cafes there and along this part of Uptown Oakland. Staff is friendly and helpful, ice cream costs more but scoops are generous and ingredients are premium level stuff. Its a treat ”
“ Soo.. first time coming here was with my son. We tried the Malty Mill Chocolate, and it was real good. Perfect cool down on a hot Oakland day. Today, I went again with my boyfriend. We shared the Secret Smores Sundae... amazing! Tasted great! ”
“ literally cannot help myself when I walk past, especially after a few at drakes next door. They do have 1 or 2 vegan options, usually almond joy which is great but I look out for their chocolate. ”
“ Always a good time, especially late at night. My guilty pleasure is their fudge brownie sundae. Try it with just vanilla ice cream. ”
“ My friends and I stopped here after brunch at Drakes Dealership. I love that they repurposed a shipping container. They serve season and their classic flavors here! My goto is their Secret Breakfast, but I tasted some of their other flavors and went with the Harvey Milk Honey Graham. They also have a couple tables set outside to sit. ”
“ Weve had HS ice cream on occasion over the years and its as good as it always is. Definitely one of our favorite ice cream places. The finishmouth feels clean and milky vs creamy and viscous like Mitchells for example both have their place and time. We have tried to like one of the other currently popular places whose name has salt in it, but after three tries weve come to accept that it just wasnt up to our liking. HS is much better for us. Service was upbeat and friendly here even though I know he was tired from what mustve been a busy day extra warm outside. ”
“ Set in a refurbished trailer next to a popular beer garden, this small shop packs a large ice cream punch. The flavors are always unique and delicious. Secret Breakfast is their standout with bourbon flavored ice cream. Bonus if you read this during September 2021 theyre giving out free pints of cornflake crunch if youre vaccinated. ”
“ Best icecream I ever had in my life! Smores is a MUST TRY WOW. ”
