I absolutely love this place and always stop by if I am in the Mission. They have a really wide selection of gelato and sorbet flavors. All the flavors I have tried are delicious. My personal favorites are the yogurt gelato and lemon sorbet. The staff are also super friendly.

They have really great tasting flavors. Parking here is scarce so youre lucky if you find one near by. They have so many options to choose from. The crepes are super good and they fill them up. They have smoothies and everything is so fresh. I personally recommend getting the 1/2 pint because you get 6 different scoops of ice cream and you get to take it home. I also purchase cones separately and it comes out to be a lot more enjoyable. Every flavor tastes just like its description and I recommend every single one.

Amazing place. Even though my friend and I took a while to decide on what to get, they were patient. Definitely worth the trip.

Awesome gelato shop in the Mission District. They have quite a few offerings with interesting flavors. Im lactose intolerant, so it was cool to see that they had a wide array of non-dairy options.Pictured is the dragon fruit sorbet. It was unbelievably purple--made with all natural ingredients. No food coloring added!

Not a true Italian gelato due to the very high sweetness of flavours, but then again its hard to expect anything else in America

To be hones best spot to grab euro like desert in the Mission, you could not find better place in little Italy. Ice cream is the best - light, not too sweet with variety of tastes from classic to edgy ones. Unlike most of other ice cream places where they go big on heavy cream and shugar here ice cream is light refteshing and balanced in taste. Other of my favorite is crapes - dark chocholate and orange zest is must try !!! Prices are affordable, displayed with tax included !!! Its institution !!!

My most favorite gelato here is Amaretto which, that I know of, cannot be had anywhere else! And make sure to ask for the little crispy topping that goes with it! Next I love the lemon sorbet. This place is the only gelato/ice cream store I go to. Lucky me. It’s in my neighborhood!!

Se siete a San Francisco e vi manca un buon gelato Italiano ma con dei gusti molto particolari, andate da Copa Loca e provate il mango e gli altri frutti tropicali.We were just in town for the week visiting from Italy and tried Mauros again. Its always fun to try new flavors you just cant find in Italy. Well done and quite original.

Review №48

After having dinner nearby, my friends and I wandered to La Copa Loca for some dessert. We came in about 15 minutes before closing and there was one person working behind the counter. She was really impatient with us because we werent making our minds fast enough and Im sure she wanted to close up shop.Anyways, La Copa Loca offers a lot of different gelatos and sorbets. I tried the white chocolate mint, dragon fruit, and pineapple. I really liked the dragon fruit sorbet, but the sample that I tried was really chunky. I ended up getting a single scoop of pineapple sorbet in a sugar cone because the sample I tried was smoother. The pineapple sorbet had a light pineapple flavor and not overly sweet. For the most part, my sorbet was smooth, but there were some big icy chunks.When I paid for the desserts my friends and I got, the receipt machine ran out of paper, which made the worker helping me out even more impatient. When she finally figured out how to reload the receipt paper correctly, there was no line for me to sign for my credit card and she just told me to sign somewhere on the receipt. I thought that was unprofessional in my opinion and her friends standing around, waiting for her to get off of work didnt help either.

Nice selection of flavors. Almost more Mexican than Italian, which is not surprising given its location. The gelato itself tastes a little bland to me. Its fine. Ive just had better.

Pretty good gelato, nice selection of flavors. The banana gelato was better than the espresso—although the espresso just wasnt very coffee-flavored, the banana tasted very much like banana.

Great selection of sorbet and gelato flavors, and the two flavors I had tasted reasonably fresh. Lots of combo menu options (e.g. sundaes). Shop had no complaints about me asking for several samples. The wait was about 6-7ish minutes on a late Wednesday night, since there was only one employee to take and make orders.

Review №71

Amazing sorbets! My favorite is Lucuma, it tastes like pumpkin and cinnamon but its actually a fruit! Just perfect, never had anything like it! I wish they would promote this flavor more because it really was an amazying culinary experience

Review №75

My favorite hazelnut gelato in town. They also have awesome Mexican vanilla and experiment with great flavors like goat cheese and fig, or bourbon butter pecan. Other places might get all the hype and the long lines, but this is a serious gelato gem in the Mission that I would pick over a lot of the other big names!

Review №77

This tiny, hole-in-the-wall gelato spot is a must-go if you are in the Mission - especially on a warm day. The bevy of flavors means you could spend all day sampling – their rotating menu is longer than most restaurants wine list – but do yourself a favor and just keep coming back to work your way through the seasonal fruit sorbets and rich gelatos. I had the honey wildflower and it was unbelievable. They also have crepes, espressos, smoothies, etc.

This tiny little shop serves a very nice selection of gelato. Flavors can range from the fruity, the traditional, and the interesting. Friendly staff willing to let you have those little tastes of the flavors to let you make the best and informed decision for gelato selection.I had a coffee flavor which had just the right amount of coffee flavor for me. The lychee was good, too.
