Where do you stop to take a breath after getting a piercing down the street? This place, lovely little shop and probably the best ice cream I’ve had in a year. Order “the bloody squirrel “ it’s amazing

This is the finest ice cream Ive ever had. Pure delicate flavors and not overly sweet. For their frozen hot chocolate flavor, Im certain they start by making milky hot chocolate, then churn it into ice cream without any other changes.It just transitioned to new owners, but theyre keeping all the old recipes and THEY EXPANDED THEIR HOURS! Its so much easier to get the best ice cream anywhere now.

One of my beloved San Francisco ice cream stores. The flavors are straightforward but incredibly well done and delicious. Very satisfying!! Try in here too, youll get it for sure!

Nice ice cream shop with simple flavors. Like the fact that they also have delicious cookies for sale too! I decided to get the banana flavor coated with hot fudge and topped with toasted almonds. I enjoyed the experience! Only this is that they only stay open till 6 even during the weekdays And close really early on Saturday. They need to stay open later if people wish to go to their ice cream store.

Great flavors. Refreshing ice cream!

Review №7

The ice cream is pricey but it’s probably because they don’t sell enough volumes to be able to afford to charge less as opposed to having a high markup (although this shouldn’t matter to customers per se). I like their sweet cream flavor as I don’t like vanilla and it’s hard to find a milky ice cream without it

Great little spot for creative Ice cream flavors and sweets. Set in the Dogpatch neighborhood, this airy ice cream store offers very good creamy delights and home made candies. This neighborhood is gentrifying by the day, and this place caters to the new families moving into this once desolate area.

Not a whole lot to choose from surprisingly enough since we went on a Saturday and 2 out of the 7 flavors were out. The flavors are subtle, borderline bland. The reviews here might have overhyped it for me.

If you love ice cream, youll add this to your list of stops when youre in the mood. Unique and creative flavours meets a passion for handmade quality (handmade wafflecones anyone?) and a commitment to craft.Come early though - they make what they can and run out fast!

Review №12

Really special ice cream here. The Candied Lemon is very good, but I found myself rushing through that scoop to spend more time with the Golden Milk before it melted: exquisite spicy flavors with just a hint of heat from ginger and cinnamon that complements the creaminess of the coconut and cardamon perfectly. Be sure to make it before they close at 5pm, although they dont seem too anxious about kicking people out of their seating area if you arrive just before closing. Big picture windows look out on... well, not much, and the early evening sun can glare a bit. But its every bit worth it for this superb scoop.

Review №13

Simply the best balance of unique flavors and incredible ice cream used as a base. not overly rich and creamy, but certainly not lacking.some ice cream will overdo the sugar or is like ice cream made from whipping cream or half and half. the straus ice cream is wonderful and the constantly rotating flavors are inspired. yes, it is creamy but not overly rich. yes the flavors are unique but balanced with the base ice cream.my favorite in the city.

Review №14

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous,How do you make your ice cream so absolutely impeccable?Your flavors are nuanced yet pronounced, so not-in-your-face yet distinctly and unmistakably recognizable. Your textures are always smooth and creamy, never icy, with just enough of a bite, and never gummy. I cant wrap my head around how perfect every single scoop has tasted. I tried so hard to savor every last bite.I am hooked. I am obsessed. I worship you guys.And please make more Bushmills, Brown Butter & Sage, Pink Guava, and Lychee Black Tea.

Review №15

San Francisco is rapidly becoming a gourmet ice cream capital and Mr and Mrs Miscellaneous is a leading site for SF’s claim. Located in the Dog patch former Bohemian area of SF, the ice cream flavors change weekly with a preponderance of fruit flavors and salted caramel with interesting chocolate combinations. Only drawback is it’s open just 4days a week, so call before making the trek. BTW: great and diverse restaurants in the area as well as a fantastic butcher and also great candy confectionery shop nearby. Dogpatch should be on every tourist agenda!

Review №17

It doesn’t have to be your birthday cake to ever get birthday cake ice cream! We had brunch in the area and I really wanted dessert so we eagerly waited at the front door (and took pics with the giant ice cream mural) until this place opened. We were the only ones for a little while so we were table to take our time and try a few flavors. Most were pretty good, but I knew I wanted the birthday cake when I laid my eyes on the sign. I loved that there were actual (chocolate) cake chunks in the ice cream. The ice cream was really good, but I wished it was birthday cake flavored instead of vanilla with sprinkles (though I do love a good vanilla).Overall, we added a waffle cone and it satisfied my sweet craving. Be prepared to pay SF prices for this ice cream cone!

Review №18

Considering the exuberant price and an average of a 30 minute wait just to be faced with a selection of eight flavours, Mr. & Mrs. Miscellaneous ice cream texture and flavours is still lacking.

Review №19

Ive been coming here since they opened. I particularly like their tea flavored ice creams. Id be hard pressed to recommend another ice cream shop that I like more, this place just does it right. Also. Always get the peanut brittle cookie. Perfect texture, chew, saltiness..

Review №20

I’ve been coming here weekly and forget that other people in the world don’t know how incredible this ice cream is! Small batch, rich, creamy, (but not too rich or creamy), unique flavours, not to mention the owner serving the scoops themselves - simply awesome. Worth the travel if you don’t live in the neighbourhood.

Review №21

Wow my girlfriend and I walked for an hour to get here but it was so worth it. Thick consistency and rich bold flavors make for some amazing icecream. Had the pandan and matcha. Both were brilliant and had some of GFs chocolate chip which was so rich it tasted like it had cookie dough in it. Prices are steep but so is quality. Well worth it in my opinion. On par with bi rite for best icecream in SF.

The Fruity Bebbles flavor is my favorite. Its like the remains of a great bowl of cereal where there is crumbs of the cereal floating around in the milk at the bottom of the bowl. They dont always have it.I also love the Frozen Hot Chocolate.

Review №27

Ice cream that wiles at a price that does too. It’s expensive, but the experience is worth it. Do you know what Sandalwood ice cream can taste like? I do. I believe their flavors rotate so I’m sure it gets weird sometimes. Embrace it, you won’t regret it.

Review №32

Its a simple, excellent place that makes sometimes classic, sometimes clever, but always balanced ice cream. If I *had* to pick a drawback, it would be the crowd in the summers. I miss the days when nobody knew about this place, but Im glad they have the business.Go there. Eat ice cream. Get freshly made waffle cones, then hit the neighborhood for dinner (pressert is better than dessert...).

They are only open until 6 pm.... So theres no after dinner ice cream or hey lets walk the dogs and get an ice cream after work. Who cares if there ice cream is delicious when they are not open to taste.

Review №38

My favorite ice cream place by far! The couple who owns it are super sweet. They are constantly changing their flavors. Make sure to try any of the their tea infused ice cream. The Mrs. loves tea and always has great flavors to combine. Also, check out their homemade salted caramels.

Review №39

Quite disappointed. We ordered the matcha, Irish cream and toffee. For the price they charge ($5.5 for once scoop), I was expected something outstanding. Instead, it wasnt good: flavor was off (sometimes, it barely had any), and commercial ice cream would have tasted better. Dont really recommend.

Review №41

This is probably my favorite ice cream shop in SF! My boyfriend and I had our first date here, so it holds a special place in my heart. The people here really care about the quality and flavor of their ice cream. Ive been to Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous several times and have never been disappointed! Their flavors change every day, I think, so its hard to tell you what flavor to get. Honestly, sample a few and you will realize that you cant go wrong.The ice cream is creamy and the flavors are always really well done. Its never overly flavored and you can tell the flavors are real and fresh.I do wish they were open later during the week, but its all good.

Very popular place on a hot day in San Francisco! I had the citrus crisp, its citrus ice cream with little balls od honeycomb in a chocolate coating I think? It was good, not overly sweet!

Review №43

Im sure many people will really enjoy this place. Probably most people in San Francisco. The type of person who wants all-natural ingredients and no artificial colors or flavors. Im that person a lot of the time. But when it comes to ice cream, I want bright colors, I want chunks of stuff in there. And if Im going to pay $5.50 for a cup that is the size of a babys fist, I want to be really, really impressed. This was probably the most disappointing ice cream experience of my life. A big piece of my inner child died today. But my inner child may not be your inner child. Your inner child may prefer to be unscathed by the cancer-causing evil that Those Other Ice Cream Companies put in their product. My inner child eats carcinogens for breakfast, and expects nothing short of Lucky Charms unicornrainbowsplosion ice cream with All Of The Chunks. So if your inner child is a fragile hipster nymph who does not eat of the unclean, this is five stars all the way for you. But for mine... Three was the best I could do.

Review №46

I love this place, I love the flavors they have created and I love how real the owners are; its a San Francisco business you can feel good about supporting. The line can be long but inside theyre giving everyone a chance to pick out the perfect treat. And the ice cream? Its my favorite in town. Theres almost always something new and exciting to try but I trust them and if I like the sound of it I dont even need to sample before ordering. My favorite has probably been the mind-blowing basil ice cream I had one afternoon last year... the perfect balance of savory and sweet. I almost wasnt sure if I had had dessert or a salad. Oh, yes.

Da
Review №47

Nice, rich ice cream but not worth queuing too long for. Flavors werent as out there as some of the other ice cream places in town, but the creaminess was excellent. However, Ive never seen it without a line out the door (and 20-odd minute wait) on weekends, and Im not sure its special enough to queue for. Note you can only sample 3 flavors (fair enough to keep the line moving) so choose carefully!

I walked in for a scoop and bought six pints because: A. I couldnt decide which one to get and B. Im a glutton. We got gianduja, bourbon cream, pistachio, walnut fig, almond toffee and amaretto.

This place would get 5 stars if it were open past 6PM. Its a pain to get to and it seems like its never open when I actually want ice cream.Rants aside, the ice cream here is fabulous. I had the Anchor Porter - which I was suspicious of at first, but it turned out to taste like sweet beer ice cream in the best possible way.Ill definitely be going back - at some point midday on a weekend when I happen to remember that its open. :)

Delicious ice cream shop with amazing waffle cones! If youre in the Dogpatch area, this is a stop you MUST make.

I wish I could give this place 600 stars, because thats roughly how many handmade flavors they cycle through in a year.

Im nit being hyperbolic when I say this is the best ice cream Ive even had. Yes, Ive been to Humphreys and had secret breakfast, and yes, Ive also been to the other famius ice cream places in SF. But, and this is not a drill, this place is amazing. Constant rotating flavors, about a dozen at once, are always offered. The texture is smooth with a nice bite, and the flavors are clean and come through strongly. The Jasmine tea really tastes like Jasmine, for example. Go here now!

The first time I came here I got the grapefruit ice cream. It had candies grapefruit peel. Yum. The second time we got a Sunday with vanilla custard and Nutella, covered in whipped cream and nuts. Theres a steady like of customers coming and and the seating works here because people eat and go. Not sure what you want, ask for a taste. The people here are friendly and quick to accommodate. Oh and get some brittle or cookies to go. They have a good pumpkin seed brittle. My daughter is allergic to nuts and shes so happy to get this brittle.

Review №73

Out of the most recent wave of high-quality ice cream shops to hit the city, Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous is probably my favorite. The flavors are creative and unusual (Candied Violet, Earl Gray, Orange Blossom, etc.) but still probably a little more approachable than, say, what you might find at Humphrey Slocombe.Service is super friendly, and the couple who owns the place always seems genuinely happy to see you there, even when the line is out the door with annoying customers like me who keep asking for multiple tastes of everything before I order. I promise to stop doing that.

Bi-Rite Creamery makes good ice cream. Humphrey Slocombe makes better ice cream. Mr. & Mrs. Misc. makes incredible ice cream that trumps both of those SF staples. This husband and wife couple know how to make some delicious dessert and theyre both incredible people as well.I had been waiting forever to try this place and when I finally got the chance I couldnt control myself. I basically had one of everything on the menu. At the time I had the BallPark which was a mixture of Anchor Steam beer, roasted peanuts and chocolate-covered pretzels. AMAZING. And I hate beer! This place is truly magical and I hope that the hype continues to grow.

Amahhzing ice cream! The best ice cream in the City for sure!The menu changes all the time. Even when youre sitting down finally satisfied with the flavor you meticulously chose.

My friend, Michelle, introduced me to Mr and Mrs on my birthday. That day we had the porter ice cream in a cone. Amazing and rich! I returned recently for the amaretto and birthday cake with sprinkles flavors. Both times were consistently good, with fast and friendly service. My only criticism is the layout of their dining tables and chairs. When its crowded, its challenging to navigate the long rows. If they were to break up the communal tables into smaller groups, you could weave in and out as needed.

Review №92

Strawberry Biscuit, Brown Butter, Celebration Cake (chocolate chiffon cake with sprinkles), Chocolate Chip, and toffee chips were only a few of the tasty treats my Mister, my Mom, and I had at Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous. Founded and run by a wife and husband team, this place brings people in droves (even on chilly days). The ice cream is made fresh. Although a bit out of the way for some folks (in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco), its totally worth the trip. MMMs also sells homemade candies and marshmallows. Sweet place if youre sweet tooth is screaming at you for something, well, sweet.

Besides having a tongue twister of a name, but that shouldnt distract from its just-the-right-sweetness ice cream that easy competes against its SF rivals, Bi Rite and Humphrey Slocombes. Located in the up and coming Dogpatch neighborhood, it makes a great companion to brunch at the nearby Serpentine. Theres an ever-rotating selection of yummy original flavors, but I especially liked the Earl Grey tea and Orange Honey.
