An old time favorite!! I've been going here with my parents since I was a young girl and now I take my kids here!!! Cantaloupe is the best but they only have it in the summer

Mitchell's has been in business since 1953, and no wonder. With all your favorite ice cream flavors, and new flavors like Avocado, Green Tea, Ube and more -- you will need to visit over and over. Mitchell's also offers sorbets, milkshakes, cakes and take home ice cream.
Mitchell's is located on the edge of the Mission. A true neighborhood ice cream shop. Easy to get to, but hard to leave.
Be warned -- on summer nights, the line stretches down the block!

As a child ice cream from Mitchells was reserved only for special occassions , which is probably why I am so fond of it now. The lines are long, but you never have to wait too long because they serve fairly quickly. They have dozens of awesome and unique flavors , but I always stick to the usual: a mango milkshake. They use lots of icecream and hardly any milk. If sugar wasn't so bad for me I would be there every day.

This is the place to go for the yummies for the tummies - have been going here for years and they never disappoint me - the selection of ice cream is great - kind of crowded on hot days but it is worth the wait - the staff is friendly and helpful.

If you're looking for a huge selection of quality ice creams, Mitchells is the place for you. They have both the ordinary classics and rare and odd flavors. Both taste incredible!

The BEST ice cream in San Francisco. An amazing variety of ice cream in a small location. Located just off 280 and a good place to hang out with friends to have a treat.
PROS: Great ice cream in many varieties
CONS: Small location; can have long lines

PROS: The best ice cream around
CONS: Crowds good get a little big...

I grew up with Mitchells and so did my husband. We love the ice cream- especially Mango and Chocolate Chip! WE always have to have a taste of the flavor of the month. If you have never tried it - you have to go there at least once

Mitchell's has the best ice cream in the city. There Pineapple-Coconut ice cream is to die for. If you've never had ice cream from Mitchell's than you've never really had ice cream. During the summer expect to wait in line for a while as the line sometimes is out the door and around the corner, but the wait is well worth it.

Mitchells has the best ice cream in all san francisco. Where else can you find ice cream as exotic as you want them to be. Prices are great deal for gourmet ice cream. They make their own ice cream and has endless variety of flavors. They have your Vanilla to YES!! Jalapeno Ice Cream .. HOW HOT IS THAT!
PROS: you can taste every flavor!!
CONS: Parking

Mitchell's has the best ice cream in San Francisco. They offer many varieties of flavors, ranging from your typical vanilla and chocolate, to lychee and durian! I haven't tried the durian flavored ice cream, but everything else is great! If you go there on a hot day, be ready to wait in line for a while!
PROS: great flavors, great ice cream
CONS: little parking, long wait when it's hot

They make their own ice cream, and their not afraid to experiment. Only at Mitchell's can you get taro ice cream and a lot of other unorthodox ice cream flavors. Always a treat...
PROS: They feature special flavors depending upon the season.
CONS: If it's hot, there's a line down the street.

This is a place where you shouldn't stick with flavors you've had for the last 10 years. Pick among the wide variety of flavors to give yourself a chance to tasting something unique and delicious.
Additional upside, rarely will you have to wait in line long. They are fast servers and are really friendly at providing advise on flavors. Yum

There isnt an ice cream shop in San Francisco that beats this one. Living in Berkeley, I'm NOT always in SF, but every time I find myself in the city I will go out of the way to get to Mitchells. Their tropical ice cream flavors are what make them famous, Mango being the best. All of it is homemade and nothing beats it. Check it out!

I just love the variety of ice cream they have here. My favorite are the unique tropical flavors like lychee and ube (purple yam). There are always lines at this place no matter how cold it is. Be sure to take a number when you enter. Also, there are no seats there just 2 benches outside the store.
PROS: Great Flavors
CONS: No seating

Try Mitchell's Pina Colada ice ceram. It tastes really good! Although this place is a bit crowded, it has every ounce of flavor you expect from ice cream.
PROS: Flavor, ambiance
CONS: inconveinent, no parking

Mitchell's is an institution in the Outer Mission. Drive by the corner of 29th and San Jose (Guerrerro) at almost any time of day any weather and see people lined up for ice cream. This 1950s establishment serves one thing only -- ice cream -- and is very bare bones. There are two benches outside but other than that you have to take your ice cream to go. I like the basics -- cookies n cream and rocky road but the more adventureous go for their tropical flavors that rotate frequently.

Lotsa exotic asiatic fruit flavors distinguish these guys from yer basic baskin robbins style fare. Dig into some Avocado, Buko, Guava, Langka, Macapuno, Mango, Pineapple and Ube fruit from the Philippines. Others like the Coconut, Lychee or Mango, ThaiTea, Rum Raisin, Chocolate Caramel Crackle, Passion Fruit Sorbet and Chicago Cheesecake. There are over 40 homemade quality flavors to choose from every day. And on a hot day ( or even a cold one) expect to wait in a line unless you grab a quart and head for the express line.
