“ My roommates and I used to have a ritual of stopping here to get ice cream on our way back to Sacramento for the weekends. How long ago? Too many years to mention. Their ice cream has a rich creamy texture that has been consistent. My favs are the Turkish Coffee, Strawberry Sorbet, Coffee Mocha, Lemon Chiffon, Bordeaux Cherry and the swiss Orange Chip!!! Yes they are a chain, but one of the few that makes their ice cream in house. Mitchell's is great too, but there's something about this place and it's history for me since the sixties. ”

“ This will cheer you up for sure: Fresh Banana ice-cream. It really tastes like frozen, creamy banana. I also love the Orange-Chocolate ice-cream. If you're lucky, your order will be FREE if your receipt shows a red star! I've gotten it twice already. This kind of luck probably related to my parking karma. ”

“ Holy Christmas!, now that is some really good ice cream. No wonder they are a San Francisco institution. I have lived in SF for almost 10 years and never tried the place. What a mistake. Wherever you live in the city, it is well worth the trip- the most amazing ice cream shop ever! Very tough neighborhood to find parking, shocking I know, but well worth the effort.

“ I've been eating Swensen's ice cream for over 20 years. There was one in Saratoga where I lived and I never knew the original one was in the city. I go here about once a month and try to give equal time to my other favorite ice cream places.

“ While its not as good as I remember when I was a kid, I still enjoyed it. Great stop when you are ridding the 45 bus across town. Also a fun place to meet some interesting people. ”

“ This is one of those things you have to force yourself to do from time to time--like going barefoot in the grass. It will put a smile on your face, if only on the inside. ”

“ Swensens is one of those old school spots that still has appeal. It's a SF institution which offers great ice cream and shakes. Mitchel's is Mitchel's, but Swensens has some wonderful offerings. ”

“ MUST TRY! Swensen's is ice cream for the people that love an ice cream experience. Most people get a cone or a half-gallon, but if you get a red star on your receipt, you get $5.00 free. ”
