Reviews for Icicles in San Mateo, CA
Had to drop in because 9 in 10 people on street had the Dumbo cup. There was a long line but the line moved fast. It was worth... the wait. Now Icicles tops my list, knocking off Salt & Straw to second place. I got the strawberry fantasy and my boyfriendgot the Oreo blast. Both were so different in texture and taste but amazing. Going to try out their every flavor. No picture ofthe Oreo Blast because he dove right in. Read more
Inviting flavors, friendly staff, and interesting add-on toppings make for a fun snack or dessert with enough to share. A... welcome treat as the days get warmer. Highly recommended. Enjoy! Read more
A lot of people compare this place to cold stone but I'm sorry this place is better and so are its toppings. This place makes... the ice cream right in front of you, so, you get a show along with ice cream. Cold stone already has the ice cream made andmaybe they mix in toppings. Icicles, they make the ice cream right in front of you. Then if you ask for it they even put on afire show with toasted marshmallows. That's a lot of words for ice cream but I keep hearing how cold stone is just as good butnah Read more
Sometimes a unique take on an old classic is what you need to keep the kids on their toes and make it a more memorable outing.... Anywhere that offers a pineapple flavor gets extra marks. Read more
The employee at the front was amazing! She was super nice and patient with the customers, and the ice cream was good. I... appreciate the unlimited toppings! Read more
Let me start off by saying that the ice cream is phenomenal. It had a super creamy and smooth texture to it. The flavors come... out truthfully to the ingredients and most of them are harmonious. One of my favorite is the base vanilla custard with coconutand blended with bananas and chocolate drizzle, it is heavnely. Now why the 2 stars... well it took us 45 mins to get the icecream. Yes, the place is popular and we went there on a hot summer evening after dinner. But shouldn't they warn you how long itmight take? Or at least give you a heads up so that you can go somewhere else and return. I had 2 toddlers with me waiting infront of the rollers without a chair for the entire wait at which point we were almost ready to give up. So message to thestore: just give your customers a heads up and set expectations right. Read more
Such great tasting ice cream! It is in downtown San Mateo next to alot of other good restaurants and nearby a movie theater. The... location itself is kind of small and gets very hot even when it?s cold outside. There?s a bench right outside the restaurant butother than that, you pretty much have to take your ice cream to go. It gets hectic, but I deem it to be worth the wait. My go tois a Cereal Killer with Captain Crunch cereal (honorable mention to the Nutella and Chill) The ice cream is delicious and so areall the toppings! Get yourself a roasted marshmallow! Read more
Good unique icecream, quite a long line but worth the wait.
