Grew up going here for ice cream. I'm glad it's still around. Too bad the prices aren't the same as they were in the 70's.

This is my favorite obsession. My new favorite in town, I had my first froyo from here and I think it could get better, I better go somewhere else.

Great shop. I like the decorations on the wall and the way they smile whenever they are in front of a customer, great froyo too, one of the best in town.

I like it in here, fresh vibes and pretty much what you are looking for a relaxing place in the city. Lots of great flavors and toppings to choose form.

Mitchells ice cream was a place my friend and I found randomly. We were in the city looking for bikes when we walked by this place and the line was super long. We figured it was good if there was nothing else nearby and everyone came by for the ice cream. We took a number and waited about 20 minutes to be served. I tried the mango ice cream and it was one of the best ice creams ever. Really smooth and not too sweet. I got the pralines and cream which was also excellent and my friend agreed. People came and just bought quarts of it to take home too. It's a nice little spot to get ice cream and enjoy the day.

More Info
- General Info
- Mitchell's Ice Cream opened for business on June 6, 1953. Larry and Jack Mitchell's goal was to make the very best ice cream in San Francisco. The Mitchells started out with nineteen flavors; all made with 16% butterfat cream and superior ingredients. They continued to add flavors as their store became more popular and in the early 1960's they were the first to introduce Mango ice cream to the Bay Area. Mango quickly became (and remains to this day) their number one seller. As the neighborhood changed and became more diverse, they increased the number of tropical flavors that they manufactured by importing a variety of exotic fruit from the Philippines, Latin America and Europe. Two of Larry's children, Brian and Linda, manage the day-to-day operations of the store today. Their ice cream is still made fresh in the shop every day, using a 10-gallon Emery Thompson batch freezer. They feature 40 flavors daily and still use 16% butterfat in all of their ice cream, along with the finest ingredients from local sources, from across the country and from around the world. There commitment to making the best super premium ice cream and providing the best service to their customers is why Mitchell's has been a treasured San Francisco landmark for more than 60 years.
