Friendly staff who works nonstop to deliver your ice cream order as soon as possible. A good spot for tourists to stop by and get something cold and sweet.Btw, if you order cones, make sure you get their signature waffle cones.

Fantastic ice cream with truly unique flavors. I got the Harvey Milk & Honey Graham in a waffle cone (extra $1.25). The raw honey ice cream was really creamy and delicious, and the honey flavor came through but wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet. There were homemade graham cracker bits sprinkled throughout, which added a different type of sweetness. I would go back again to try their other flavors.

All I can say is yum! There’s a line every time I go, which I never mind waiting in :) Unique flavors every season. I got the Harvey Milk & Honey Graham and it did not disappoint. Can’t wait to try a new flavor the next time! It’s also in the Ferry Building, which is an incredible place to walk through and visit other vendors!

The ice cream is fantastic! The Tahitien Vanilla is amazing. We visited the small store in the Ferry Building. My only complaint was that one person was working and the line was very long. The other person who seemed to be working was standing in the corner talking to a friend. Getting her friends ice cream but ignoring all the customers. She did crane her head around a bit to look at the long line. But she ignored everyone and continued chatting with her friend. Thank you to the one person who was courteous and working very hard.

I was flitting around the Ferry Building in San Francisco—looking for a special treat from myself. I wandered into Humphry Slocombes stand. They had a small navy blue sign up above eye level with white lettering and a sketch of an ice cream cone. They also had a case of ice cream containers that you could grab and go.Fortunately for me, no one was at the counter. I walked and looked down at the large open containers of ice cream—ready to be scooped. I noticed that they had some unusual flavors: Bacon, Jesus Juice Sorbet, Rosemary, and Heres Your Damn Strawberry. I asked the man behind the counter if I could taste some of these unique sounding ice creams. He of course reminded me that because of Covid that sampling wasnt possible.So, I didnt want to risk having a hot fudge sundae made with rosemary ice cream, so, I decided to go conservative. I had a hot fudge sundae made with Salted Caramel Cocoa Nibs ice cream. it was sweet and salty with the crunch of  cocoa nib, and it was thick and sticky! There was a rich warm fudge sauce on top of thick whipped cream.I must of looked pretty funny walking along down lane in the Ferry Building toward G Pier. I would stop, pull down my mask, and then take a big bite of my sundae. I would roll my eyes back as I enjoyed the flavors. Good thing I wasnt in a hurry and there werent many people trying to get by me.If you want some great ice cream, and some unique choices—go to a Humphry Slocombes. Look on line—they  are in Oakland, and Berkley. I am looking forward to when I can taste some of their unique flavors when the Covid thingy is lifted!

Who knew you can find more than just great seafood in SF’s Ferry building?Found this hole in the wall ice cream shop while taking a stroll around the building. They had some amazing and unique flavors like the Drunken Stonefruit (which I tried and absolutely loved) and Blue Bottle Vietnamese coffee flavor. A must try!

Is it good? Absolutely. But at $5 a scoop, it’s quite expensive but the value does kick in once you get multiple scoops.

Really good designer ice cream shop. I’ve had many of their other flavors before, such as the breakfast one. Tried the black sesame seed on special today. Was really good as always, though the rich sesame flavor, which I prefer on the strong side in an ice cream, was somewhat subdued.

Great food...best old fashioned!

We were told we needed to come here when in San Francisco and that was definitely right. We picked this location since we were already coming to the Ferry Building.Unfortunately, we got there right after they ran out of their Secret Breakfast flavor which I wanted to try. Everything I sampled was delicious.We ended up getting the 5 spice pumpkin sundae which came with homemade marshmallow fluff, homemade caramel sauce, and Graham cracker crumbs.It was amazing. It was soft and creamy. All of the toppings were outstanding. Ive never had sauces that good before.If you love ice cream (and who doesnt?), you definitely need to come here.

Perfect place to get ice cream and relax outside near the water. The queer eye ice cream was a flavor I’ve never tried before and didn’t think it would work but it was quite nice and I’d get it again. You can really taste the olive oil and I love the chunks of chocolate

Love the Wine & Cheese ice cream but unfortunately the last time I went it was seasonal so couldnt get hold of it for some of the year.

Yum! Tried their red velvet and Harvey milk ice cream; loved them both. Super creamy and just the right amount of sweetness.

Hella Good!! Good prices and amazing quality!

Interesting tasting Ice cream. Decent quality per bite and amazing service while you wait for each scoop.

Humphry Slocombe, you do things to me. With certainty I can say this is the best ice cream I have ever had. I have this unhealthy addictive relationship with Humphrys. Their ice cream is pure bliss. They have monthly flavors that are always amazing, Ive never been disappointed. Theres a plethora of flavors to choose from, you just cant go wrong with any of the flavors. My absolute favorite is Secret Breakfast, bourbon and corn flakes. TO DIE FOR. Its about $4.50 a scoop, but hey...worth every penny. Its not something you eat everyday, so treat your self and go get a scoop..or two.

Loved the ice creams here! Came here to try the famous secret breakfast and was not disappointed. I dont think Ive loved the taste of cereal quite so much in my life before. As die hard coffee lovers, we could not resist the Vietnamese coffee flavor and were not disappointed. Coming here again to try all the flavors !

The Vietnamese coffee ice cream is sooo good!

If you want traditional ice cream, this is not the place for you. I was in town for 4 days and tried this 3 times - I enjoyed them all. I had the Harvey Milk, Surfers, Brown Better and Peanut Butter Cup. I tried the cream frishe which was also delicious but definitely more traditional.

Dang good ice cream, the malt is so nice! Got a 3 pint for p cheap actually and WOW all the stuff we tried was great!

The flavors are interesting, but the ice cream is just ok. I was tired of it before I got to the end of my scoop.

Really good ice cream, the secret breakfast was good, but the olive oil & rhubarb was REALLY REALLY GOOD.

At Humphry Slocombe, the long lines are justified. And they move fairly quickly so its totally worth it. The star of this joint is the Secret Breakfast ice cream, a mad, magical concoction of bourbon ice cream paired with cereal. Their other flavors are great too, but its hard for me to get anything else here.

Best flavors secret breakfast and Vietnams coffee its balance of right sweetness and cons are crispy n not too sweet gem in ferry building

Hands down the best ice cream in San Francisco out of all the places we ate at. Bourbon and cornflakes sound a weird combo but it works!Just be ready to queue as this place has one of the longest ones in the pier :) but worth it

I wasnt expecting the ice cream to be as unique and distinguished as it was, yet it was! Fantastic flavor complimented with a Bourbon caramel that tasted like no caramel Ive had before. We were on our honeymoon and I only wish we had this establishment back in South Florida. Incredible ice cream! The view by the pier is great as well.

Small store in the ferry building with some amazing flavours. The scopes are quite big, so two definitely were enough for me.

Creative flavors but too sweet for my taste

It was ok not many ice creams. only went cause Andrew went

Really amazing range of flavours but Im an ice cream conservative so I played it safe with Peanut Butter Swirl. The ice cream was super creamy and the scoop most generous. I loved how the scoop was in proportion to the waffle cone. Compared to other SF scoops, I thought the price very reasonable. Be sure to take your ice cream outside and enjoy it with a bayside view!

First time coming to this ice cream shop based on reviews. Located in the ferry terminal. Staff is friendly and you are allowed to sample the flavors. Secret breakfast tastes like cereal and milk. Was not a fan of the selection of flavors. I ended up getting the salted caramel with coco nibs. It was okay. My friend ended up getting the coffee flavor, which she did not like at all. Nothing spectacular in my opinion.

I love ice cream, but ice cream doesnt like me. That wasnt going to stop me once I saw the malted chocolate flavor offering. Superb ice cream, great cones.

Wow. Just. Wow. This is certainly some of the best ice cream Ive ever had. And I never wouldve expected it going in. Im not much for weird flavors. I appreciate crazy in your face flavors and creativity, but I was still surprised. Even with a bit of a line, they were nice enough to let me sample a few flavors. I decided to go with two scoops - one of Spotted Dick and one of Black Vinegar Halva.The vinegar actually tasted like a very warm caramel! So nice!! And the sweet bread added the perfect texture to the smooth, creaminess!But the Spotted Dick was even more amazing! The ice base was like a sweet maple. And the currants added not only a sweet tangy-ness, but a nice little burst when I bit into them! Hubby didnt think he was in the mood to get ice cream, but he did try a bite of what I got...that changed his mind! He got in that long line in order to get three scoops of Spotted Dick! Im really glad he did, because he shared it with me!!This place is so fantastic and I hope I can make it back on my next visit to San Fran!

Amazing ice cream, friendly and welcoming staff, reasonable prices for huge scoops. Definitely a must go! Peanut and smoked almond are amazing!

Divinely delicious. Be prepared for the long queues. Had the Tahitian Vanilla and Peanut Butter Fudge Ripple.

Fantastic shop with insanely unique flavors. They are typically a little backed up but dont let it stop you, the flavors are worth the wait.

I usually don’t eat ice cream and don’t enjoy it too much but the coffee flavor was excellent.Chewy almost caramel like consistency. Very delicious

Secret breakfast⋯yummy ^_^

Secret breakfast was pretty tasty, with crunchy, bourbon-flavored cornflake pieces throughout. Pricy for ice cream, and this location is definitely crowded. Otherwise great stuff!

Humphry Slocombe was a nice shop to get some ice cream that pretty much has a very small storefront to get your sweet tooth satisfied. With it being a small spot, it is one of those order and go places. This is perfect on those sunny and comfortable days where you can just walk right outside and enjoy it! This was perfect for the tourist in me going around Embarcadero!I have heard much about the Secret Breakfast so I had to try it! It has bourbon and corn flakes! The combination of flavors was great! I am glad I had tried this flavor and there were many other interesting combinations on the menu that I would love to try in the future.

Ice cream ice cream I cream for ice cream!

Very good ice creamSuper crowdedService can be much better and more organizedBut I liked the ice cream there!!!

Wow i loved it.

Ice cream shop with unique and delicious flavors! Pictured is strawberry banana ice cream with chocolate chip cookies.

Is it the worlds best ice cream shop? I dont know about the experts, but this sure is a contender! Go for the original secret breakfast the first time. Walk it off. Come back for the other flavours. Thank me later

They have soooo many rich and awesome flavors! Got secret breakfast and maple walnut. Love it!!!

Tastiest ice cream in town! The bourbon caramel with the coffee is the best! There is usually a long line but it is worth the wait!

My favorite ice cream place in SF. Secret breakfast and brulee fig are the best ones I have tried. highly recommended.

Really good ice cream. Their secret breakfast is delicious.

Honey graham and secret breakfast flavors are the best

Love their ice cream, unique and awesome flavors. Get the pint from the fridge and skip the line. Some the the flavors are in the pint only and not by scope.The coconut shoyu is my flavor. It used to be seasonal, but seems like it is here to stay. Wohoo! The shoyu is more like a salty version of caramel sauce inside the toasted coconut ice cream. Multi layers of flavors.Also tried their seasonal Yuzu cream, light and floral, and a hit of citrus.I tried their Honk Kong Milk Tea from a super market before, which the texture and flavor is very disappointed. I prefer getting the pint from their original store than in super market. Not sure if the one in the super market been sitting here for a long time.

All the flavors we tried were amazing. Fig cheesecake and the plum sorbet stood out in particular. Im amazed there wasnt a line out the door. The ice cream is far superior to Salt and Straw. The flavors are simpler and there are fewer flavors but theyre fresh and you can taste the care put into each batch. The texture is insanely smooth. They rotate the flavors so theres always something new to look forward to.

Can’t go wrong with anything that includes graham crackers 🙃

I was here shortly before they were closing on Sunday. Sampled 4 flavors and did 2 scope cone with smoked almond brittle and let us be beets

Some of the best ice cream in SF

Secret Breakfast lives up to the hype. Pair with a coffee from Blue Bottle across the way, and then go enjoy the view of the Bay outside as you enjoy some of the best parts of life.

Good texture and flavour. But please consider adding a sign on the outside with pre-printed flavour insert panels that describe what’s in each one. This is not the day of strawberry or chocolate when the name alone would be enough. It will also save staff from having to answer to every other customer what’s in this and what’s in that. I had to read the pint containers to even know what’s in the Secret Breakfast. It will make service more efficient.

Secret Breakfast is the flavor that brings me back countless times.

Their dirty chai is really really really GOOD

I ate the secret breakfast and it was wonderful, I love it. However, my 4 points is due to, it is kind of difficult to choose which flavor because there is no panel where it says their ingredients and the vendor that attends me didnt look so happy by their tone of voice.

Tried a few samples of a lot of flavors and ended up with a single scoop cone (each of us did).Everything we tried was incredibly good. Super rich and creamy and definitely worth every calorie.Excited to come back and try a whole new set of flavors.

I got the Breakfast Cookie flavor with bourbon and corn flake cookie crumbs. The bourbon flavor was on point without being overpowering, and the cookies were chewy with just a little crunch. Honestly I think its just a hair or two better than Salt & Straw.

Blueberry Boy Bait is spectacular!

If this place was closer to where I live, Id be fat. Such an unusual experience... unique retro finish to the shop, flavors youd have to be incredibly creative to even consider putting together, consistently perfect ice cream if your taste buds can handle the flavor youre trying. On a side note, its nice to eat at an ice cream place where ice cream isnt left dirtying all the surfaces... this place is kept clean. :)

Banana split flavor was weird and just sweet. The vanilla honey flavor was just ok. Ben and Jerrys tastes better to me.

I love their ice cream, not just because of the fabulous taste, but because how clean they make the ice cream. The food ingredients are clean milk, sugar, cream, with no phony stuff like emulsifier (gum, carrageenan..etc).

The Bay Area is overrun with ice cream shops, but Humphry Slocombe is doing it right. Their ice creams range from traditional flavors to a few more out of the box varieties. My go-to is the Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee- delicious, and I have soft spot for Bay Area businesses teaming up to create such a dynamic duo.Secret Breakfast is a crowd favorite- a vanilla base with bourbon and corn flakes.

Their wacky flavors are refreshing. For those that like something different. I brought a group of friends through here for a food tour of the Mission. Flavors we tried:1) Hibiscus Beet Sorbet - I can taste the beet. Pretty dark pink!2) Mulled Wine Sorbet - Nice sweet wine flavor. Pretty light pink!3) Salted Licorice - Too salty. Not popular with our group. Can hardly taste the licorice.4) Peanut Butter Curry - Very addicting. Like peanut satay sauce!5) Secret Breakfast (Bourbon & cornflakes) - Also very tasty. Like vanilla with a little booze and bits of cereal. On the 7x7 list.6) Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee - Tastes like usual coffee flavor.

This is a fun place to grab ice cream on the go. A little expensive but the flavors were unique. There are some alcoholic ones that I heard are good.

Finally got to try the actual store. Love the adorable Decor of the inside. There were four of us and we all got different flavors that were each wonderful. Really loved the Bourbon Street and the Peppermint Patty. The staff was all very pleasant also. Great place and we will be back for sure!

Newly opened, this ice cream shop has some awesome flavors and long lines to back it up. This is definitely a must try at the Ferry Building, especially their secret breakfast flavor (which is cornflakes and bourbon). The ice cream is all hand made and it tastes amazing. Theres no dedicated seating for this place, but its easy to find seats outside the Ferry Building on a sunny day to enjoy your ice cream in nice weather.

One of the best places to get ice cream in San Francisco. Try their Secret Breakfast menu and other flavors. You will not be disappointed. The lines are usually pretty long it moves pretty quickly. If you happen to be in SF area definitely a must try, along with other delicious stuff you can find in the Ferry Building.

I have tried two of their flavors: Secret Breakfast and After School Special.Secret Breakfast is a vanilla base with bourbon and (still crunchy) corn flakes. The tingle, crunch, and rich flavor make this ice cream a winner in my book.After School Special is a vanilla base with caramel and chocolate sauce swirled in, and chocolate covered potato chips. Its damn good if you like the whole salty sweet thing.

The peppermint sundae I tried was really underwhelming in all ways. $8+tax would be better spent at other shops. Served in a plastic cup, scoops were small, and overall taste and texture were nothing remarkable.

Contemptuous service and poor taste. I’ll never go back here. While I was waiting for my order, the dishwasher in the back gave another guest the stink eye for commenting that the music playing at the booth was very loud (It was painfully loud and hard to order or hear over it- “I wanna dance with somebody” by Whitney Houston) and turned it off completely in a huff, rather than adjust the volume. The guest was even more uncomfortable as a result for seemingly upsetting the dishwasher, and said, “you don’t have to turn it off, it was just too loud”. The dishwasher muttered something in the back I could not hear. Ice cream should be enjoyable, not tense and confrontational. Service fail. Also not impressed with product itself - threw out 3/4 of it because taste was off. Bad experience. Won’t ever return.

Five stars for the delicious ice cream & minus one star for the lady with dreadlocks and her rude attitude towards all customers (not just us). Good customer service goes a long way.

Ice cream flavors here are DECADENT. Cream cheese chocolate chip, sea salt chocolate, and Vietnamese coffee were just a few of their flavors. I had a scoop of the olive oil flavor, which tasted like a buttery vanilla with a tinge of lemon. Make sure youre not too full before visiting this place because the ice cream will fill you up. The cone was also crunchy and delicious - and I normally order ice cream in a cup.If youre a sweets person, youll love this place. If youre not a sweets person, youll find a few (but not too many) lighter flavors offered here as well. Theres also a good amount of outside seating on the sidewalk.

Yum ice cream. Choice of around 12 flavours. Also do sundays. popular spot

This is by far probably best ice creamery of San Francisco. The flavours are always very imaginative and the scoops taste just amazing.Keep in mind that during daytime or on the weekends the line to this venue gets pretty long.

Id recommend this ice cream shop for anyone whos looking for unique flavors. They tend to have savory flavor ice cream which is perfect for anyone who doesnt prefer sweets. They rotate their menu regularly which is great. As everybody recommends, Secret Breakfast definitely stands out :)

Creative flavors and amazing quality! We tried the special breakfast and it had bourbon flavor and corn flakes. Didnt expect it but it was soooooo good. Must try😋

Some of the best ice cream Ive ever eaten and my personal favorite in SF. This hipster shop creates really cool flavors like peanut butter curry, Vietnamese coffee, and other exotic ones that cater to the SF/Bay crowd.Secret breakfast is their most popular, with bourbon and cornflakes in a delicious vanilla bean. Every time I get it the flavor is on point, the texture is perfect with the crunchy cornflakes contrasting with the smooth vanilla bean, and its not too sweet and surprisingly refreshing. Im always amazed at how fast I can finish a scoop. Ive sampled other flavors such as horchata and Harvey milk and graham cracker with honey, and those are good as well.While the Mission diner setting offers the most flavors, there is also a stand in the Ferry building as well as at the Yard at Mission rock. A SF staple and solid, amazing ice cream.

Great guys and excellent ice cream. I recommend Mexican Hot Chocolate and brown butter on a waffle cone!

This place was pretty good! We came around 7:30pm which was great because they were the only place still open in the Ferry Building. They have interesting and unique flavors (along with some traditional flavors). It was pricey for 1 scoop ($4.25 no cone), but its SF and in the morning middle tourist country, so it makes sense.

Nothing but praise for the place. The flavors are always original, the ice is top notch and the folks doing the scooping couldnt be more helpful. Its just the prices the keeps the place from being a 5 out of 5. A small, and I mean really small scoop will run you $4.95. Dont get me wrong, its great ice cream, if not amazing ice cream, but even for San Francisco the price is a bit steep.

My second favorite ice cream place in San Francisco. They have some interesting ice cream flavors. It is pricey, which is why it makes it my second favorite place. However, they do give decent scoops unlike Bi-Rite. This location is convenient, even though it is in the Ferry Building. If youre lucky, you can get in line when its relatively dead and get your ice cream quickly.

I was so excited when this location opened up in the Ferry Building! The ice cream is SO creamy and delectable. I love the Blue Bottle coffee flavor, especially since theres a Blue Bottle shop right across from them.Secret breakfast is ALWAYS a good choice! Its got a hint of bourbon and cornflakes mixed in. Its hard to decide because everything tastes so goooood!Its definitely worth the line and dealing with tourists, if you cant make it to the location in The Mission. Enjoy!

Its okay. Its ice cream. Staff was friendly and efficient. They had a sign that said the Food Network labeled them Top 5 ice cream in America. I love ice cream from the very depths of my soul and Im lactose intolerant, so I am picky when it comes to dairy. I absolutely love fun flavors too and this place has FUN flavors but I was surprised at how mediocre it tasted. Sure, its ice cream, but I wouldnt go as far as label it Top 5 in America. So, if you want ice cream go for it, but keep those expectations low. I kind of wish I would have gone for the self-serve place across the way from them. Anyways, I expected more from the Food Network, but since this is Top 5 I am thinking the Food Network hasnt really tried a lot of ice cream places, if this is its Top 5. :)

Two words... Secret Breakfast. It WILL change your life.Humprhy Slocombe is a great place if you are down to be adventurous with your ice cream. There ice cream is creamy, unique and super flavorful. My favorite flavor is Secret Breakfast which is a mix of bourbon and corn flakes. Sounds like an odd combo, but it is SO GOOD, a must-try when visiting!

5 stars for ice cream but 0 star for service. Theres always a long queue so the staff are stressed and rude when managing their customers. They should just chill. Back to the ice cream- they are simply the best. Im blown away by the flavour and texture.

Best ice-cream bar none. Quality handmade ingredients and some of the most adventurous flavors you will find while still paying homage to classics. I cannot get enough secret breakfast.

I love their Secret Breakfast flavor. I always get a pint of it. Their other flavors are whatever. Parking is a pain, so its best to bike over or have someone sit in the car while buying. The other great thing about this place is that its open late.

Like adventurous flavors? I do! Like Ice Cream? I do! And I think this is the place for you - The Secret Breakfast is one of my favorite flavors in the city, a must try. It is ice cream with Cornflakes soaked in bourbon and I like the root beer float here as well. Other flavors include Beet and Olive Oil. This place is a Hidden Gem in the Mission.

Secret Breakfast sundae is worth the long wait in the queue! Its bourbon icecream with specialty cornflakes and drizzle. More sweeter than I would want it too, but still amazing!

Since going back and trying more flavors, I am loving Ample Hills. The salted crack caramel is addicting. Maybe now that there is usually a line I feel more excited to eat here. But the line moves fast and the staff is very nice and friendly. I want to go back and keep trying more flavors. Last time I had one with makers mark and fudge, yummmmm.

Thumbs up for the creative ice cream flavors. Thumbs down for the long line. Im not one for alcohol flavored ice cream, but if *you* are, theyve got plenty to try. Butter flavor ice cream sounds odd but is oh so good. GET IT!

Service is prompt even when they are busy. the service was helpful and kind. they have a lot of good reviews for a reason.

Big fan of Secret Breakfast with its chunks of cereal in a bourbon ice cream. The peach sorbet was also really refreshing. Blue bottle coffee was tasty, but not very interesting.Nice little tables outside for seating!

Kooky place with some serious ice cream. Secret breakfast is an obvious choice but I challenge you to try some of the other offerings. Everything is so freaking good. If you are like me and love ice cream do yourself a favor and check out Humphry Slocombe.

They invented Secret Breakfast ice cream. Could this place be any more awesome? Theyre flavors are unique, to say the least, and change frequently, often featuring different brews of beer, but ranging from chili-lime, to salt and pepper, to more exotic varieties of chocolate and vanilla.
