Did you know that in addition to noteworthy pastries they have good sandwiches?

Clean little gem where a slice of cake is perfect, cookies are big and full of good things and our shawarma sandwich was just perfect: full of flavor, cucumber and a perfect lunchtime filler for two! ANY neighborhood would love this to be there and the feeling of whimsical love in the place is part of everything we consumed :)

Fun stop. not cheap as grocery stores for soda, but they have sandwiches and some pastries

Curried cauliflower sandwich! Delicious combo! Dessert was just as good!

Great alternative if you don’t have the patience for Arsicault. Great after bike ride hangout.

Terrific ice cream parlor that also has a zillion coffee and tea drinks plus a food menu, you really want to try the Killer Brownie Sundae and/or the Key Lime Pie both of which are totally legit. You can walk by over and over to admire the vintage toys for sale in the window but its high up above the counters where youll find the coolest stuff. Added bonus: you can also have a great time here without kids!

A classic dessert shop - they serve ice cream, sundaes, cakes, pies and coffee drinks. Its a really cute shop with an 80s feel. There are about 10 tables, also some seats along the wall that can accommodate larger groups.

Great spot, great service. Ive been coming here since I was a kid and have always enjoyed it. The below reviewer (Susan F.) is obviously full of $%#@. Anyone whos been here knows that the staff is friendly and overly polite. I hope she decides to be a jerk somewhere else.

The inside was amazing. Ton of posters, art and toys hanging from the wall. I couldnt stop looking around. I got a milk shake in a mason jar that was delicious. I tired some of their old fashion chocolate cake which was huge and amazing. The picture doesnt do the cake justice. Trust me the slice of cake is huge.

The staff are so happy and helpful! The chicken curry sandwich was absolutely delicious, especially on the legendary Jane bread!

Im never disappointed when I come here. However, the prices are kind of steep. For example, $5 for a croissant thats just a tad better than a Costco croissant.

Ive only tried coffee on several visits this year. Every cup outstanding, without a doubt.

So, in many ways, this is still the same Toy Boat cafe thats been here for nearly 40 years, but since Jane the Bakery took over, everythings gotten a little bit better. Specifically...*Things that are better*- The ice cream. They still carry a lot of the popular flavors from Double Rainbow, but theyve expanded their suppliers to include both Mitchells (for tropical flavors) and Hometown Creamery, which always has delicious and unique flavors.- The pastries. I mean, duh. A bakery owns this place now; the pastries better be great. Maybe not quite as good as the fresh-out-of-the-oven ones from Arsicault, but certainly a good option when you dont feel like waiting in line for 30 minutes. Treat yourself to a cookie, too.Theyre worth it.- The sandwiches and salads. Theyre pre-made now, but honestly, theyre significantly better than before, with more interesting ingredients and really good ciabatta. Oh, speaking of...- Bread. They sell fresh loaves of bread every day. The baguette is great, but you definitely need to order ahead or show up at 10:00, or theyll be sold out.- Cleanliness. Sorry, old Toy Boat, I loved you in many ways, but the whole place just felt grungy. The new store definitely feels cleaner than before. (Although I still think they could use to re-tile their floors.)So... whats not as good?- Hours. I mean, its a pandemic, so Ill give them a pass here, but for a dessert cafe, itd be nice if it were open a little later.- No custardy desserts. Cookies and brownies and cakes are fine. But every one in a while youre in the mood for something a little more custard-y, like a tiramisu or key lime pie, which the old Toy Boat used to have. Granted, it was a pretty mediocre tiramisu, but even mediocre tiramisu is better than no tiramisu.

The original owners just retired and the classic diner sold to the owner of Jane Bakery in the Fillmore.Toy Boat is the only ice cream game in the neighborhood (east of Park Persidio and north of the GG Park), so I’m sure glad they made it!!They just reopened and are still serving the classic Double Rainbow ice cream including some excellent dairy free options such as raspberry sorbet and snickerdoodle soy cream.They replaced the sandwiches, cakes, pies, and baked goods with Janes classic menu - pastries, breads, sandwiches and salads.They cleaned up the place on the inside, streamlined the decor, and got rid of a lot of the older toys, indoor tables, and so on.

This place never disappoints! Me and my fiance love their homemade pies. They have a huge selection of food dishes along with desserts! Inside is decorated with old toys and movie memorabilia, its super cute!

Fast, good service, cool classic place. Great staff and tasty flavors.

You need to go to this amazing ice cream parlor! They play Dropkick Murphys as you order your ice cream!

Cute little place, great for a coffee or a no-fuss breakfast, lunch, or brunch!

Really delicious cookies. Also such nice customer care. Lovely place!

A warm and welcoming visit. Cant wait to come back!

Pastries much better now that Jane took over.

Take a trip back in time. Good old fashion ice cream n desert shop. Service and atmosphere are great. It was a nice day, so we asked if we could move a table and some chairs outside and was told, sure, as long as we returned them. Parking is not bad. Great place.

Charming neighborhood cafe and sweet shop, family friendly and cozy

Cool spot with friendly staff and vintage toys for sale. A lot of ice cream flavors to try, but ty to time your visit as seating can get limited!

Atmosphere was really nice here. I had a lovely lunch on a Saturday afternoon, very relaxing and pleasant. The decorations and vintage toys are really neat. The only problem- the chicken sandwich I ordered was so salty it was almost unpleasant to eat. Ill assume that was a fluke, though!

Fudge caramel cheesecake was amazing! fudge brownie sundae very tasty. Only took a star off b/c the rap music was off character for the kid friendly atmosphere.

Hiding behind this places misleading signs and deceptive décor are some out-of-control-delicious sandwiches. Please continue to have confusing marketing, otherwise the line out the door will be as long as the one for Arsicault!

Toy boat is a gem on clement street. Delicious ice cream, milkshakes, and even more savory lunch items to enjoy. The place itself is so cozy and cute, lined with old toys and collectibles reminiscent of childhood. The staff here is amazing As well ; particularly a young girl with short red hair. She was so friendly and never made me feel like I was just another customer. Great job toy boat !

Absolutely amazing place to get desert and very child friendly. They have a lot of old and vintage toys both for sale and scenery. Ive gone here for several years since I was a young girl and have never had a bad experience. My daughter had a wonderful time. I will definitely be coming back here again.

Amazing flavors, fresh, kids love it, nice area, and just so happy to have a salt and straw in la now! I use to only get it in Portland. Parking can be difficult, but its a great spot to Kill time instead of being in traffic. I love the lavender honey my kids make fun of me cause Ive never ordered anything else, but they change it up and have never been disappointed.

Ube ice cream was ok, ultra chocolate was nice and key lime pie was great. Also the chocolate cake is awesome.

So happy this place has reopened. Great coffee and amazing carrot cake!

Coffee, pastries, sandwiches and salads are all good! Glad Jane saved this place!

Excellent bread and pastries.

My first visit on 8/9/2019 wont be my last! Delightful and clean shop, great customer service and the best smoothie (Tropico) Ive had in a long time. Many choices and lots of cool stuff to look at. My friends all enjoyed what they had as well. Definitely a keeper!

Ice cream! This place is super cute and fun to look around. Its a great place for kids because they have lots of fun toys around the whole place. Definitely get some dessert here after eating at Burma Superstar or any of the other amazing restaurants nearby. I havent eaten anything but the ice cream, but they have great flavors and they are generous in their scooping! The coffee chocolate crunch is delicious! Enjoy!

Hope it stays around forever

Just come and see it by yourself. Carrot cake 7.5 out of 10.

So many crazy flavors!! Fun toys that are all for sale too! Great staff and service. A fun place to visit after eating at one of the restaurants nearby.

Absolutely loved the desserts. Brownies are out of this world! Not dry and not too sweet, made daily. Service was terrible.... But who cares when its this good!

This place is so cute! Vintage toys and posters line the cafe, and the space is charming without feeling cramped. The staff is pretty down-to-earth, and are helpful when it comes to ice cream selection. And their sundaes portions are very, VERY generous. The ice cream flavors are pretty standard, but all around extremely tasty.

Amazing kitschy ice cream parlor serving delightful treats in a nostalgic setting. Really enjoyed their shakes with a shot of espresso, as well as their snarky humor.There is even a mechanical pony ride for the little ones.

Museum of toys and a dessert bar on top of it. Never been blown away by the quality, but its a perfect comfort spot.

Best pies and ice cream. Have good wraps for a quick lunch as well as salads and other delicious choices. Love checking out all the vintage toys.

This place is interesting. Ice cream, food, coffee and throw back toys for sale. And lots of tables. I love it

Did someone say Cinnamon tres leches ice cream, Oh yes they did. For some reason today I strayed off the norm of my Blue Bottle Vietnamese coffee flavor. Honestly I dont think you can wrong with any flavor. The staff is super friendly. I love this location because I get to walk around the mission a little. The Ferry Building location is also worth trying.

This is one of our favorite ice cream shops in the city. They have some of the best and most unique ice cream. We stop here at least once a week in hot summer months. Such a treat.

Dont take it away thats all you need to know

Love the atmosphere! Great icecream shop for all ages, kids will love it. And great icecream so thats a plus!

Every time I go here I feel quite literally like a kid in a candy store! One of my favorite desert places in the city. Great location, big selection, plus all the toys on the wall make it feel very unique.

Dutch apple pie was delicious warm. Pot of jasmine tea had lukewarm water. Grasshopper ice cream was tasty but too melty for me. (I like my ice cream more frozen and firm.) Service was friendly enough - very SF. Interesting decor with lots to look at (vintage toys, posters, etc.)

There are ice cream parlors and dessert cafés... and then theres Toy Boat. Its a great place to sit back, relax and have a slice of seasonal pie, a black and tan or a monster-sized banana split.And if you dont have a sweet tooth, there are plenty of savory items on the menu. Its a fun stop thatll hit the spot!

Great place for real Cannolis, and other old world treats, as well as a respectable ice cream selection, and good espresso drinks.The outside benches make a great people watching perch, and the locals in this neighborhood are some of the friendliest anywhere. Nice staff.

Great ice cream and novelty store. real candy as well as eye candy everywhere! your senses will need a nap after a visit here. the best! good service. overpriced but worth it!

Always great sandwiches and ice cream and a fun selection of eccentric and rare toys on display.

The ice cream was okay. I dont recommend any of the other desserts though. They tasted old and gross. Its a cute little place with lots of vintage and nostalgic toys. The coin operated horse is retired (out of order). Id say come for the ice cream and enjoy looking at all the toys. You can buy the toys too!

The inside looks cool, but there are a couple oddities. They use paper straws for their floats, so at the end your straw is soggy and kind of nasty. Also they dont flame the top of the creme brule... So it is just a pile of sugar on top which makes it really sweet. There was also water in the bottom of the creme brule...

I have been there several times & the ice cream is always delicious. Love looking at the old toys there.

Got to love a spot that sources local ingredients! Not to mention the ice cream was sooo good. A really kind worker welcomed us and offered samples. He had such good suggestions we went with them after tasting the goodness. Got to say Im not the biggest ice cream person but hey, this place isnt jus ice cream.. I think its like a little bit of heaven. Totally kid and adult approved!

Nice atmosphere

Great dessert menu and unique shop for toys. A lot of flavors to choose from the ice cream line up its like I want it all feeling. Highly recommended.

Old school Candy Store vibe from East Coast mixed in with great ice cream and desserts. The owner Jesse and his staff are friendly and happy to take care of you! Lots of cool and retro stuff for kids of ALL ages! Youll smile when you visit!

Simply a great place for a snack or beverage. While youre there, enjoy the mini toy museum Jessie has assembled.

Do they still sell PEZ candy dispensers?

What some dont know is that this is a decent place to get sandwiches! But they serve double rainbow ice cream, a variety of desserts, and ice cream sandwiches, too. They have cute booths in the back and a mechanical horse that is for children only, DONT BE THAT GUY.

A San Francisco institution. Amazing toy decor and coin operated horses, plus good coffee and sublime ice cream. Fun place to hang out.

Cute little dessert bar/cafe. Love the vintage toys and elclectic vibe. Always try to stop in when strolling along Clement street

Yummy ice cream and baked goods, with super helpful staff! All in a fun little shop.

A local Institution. Really great Double Rainbow ice cream is locally made. Sandwiches and coffee too. Recently I saw they had pastries from Devils Teeth bakery. Many of the classic toys on the wall are for sale.

This is probaly my favourtie place to go for ice cream. Customer service is amazing. I love the layout and the ice cream taste very homemade

Spicy hot chocolate is 🔥Lots of cool retro toys too. The Elizabeth Warren & Bernie Sanders action figures were a bit much though

It is awesome that this place is open late. My partner and i went and grabbed ice cream after dinner.

I love toy boat. I ate ice cream there tonight, but dont neglect the dessert case either! So so so good.

A great place for kids. Whole set up is a total crowd pleaser for the younger set. Great for dessert after eating at one of the many local restaurants.

Service great. Ice cream mediocre. Nothing like Mitchells ice cream..

Amazing cheese cake! Also great atmosphere, I have been there many times and will continue to go!

Enjoyed a breakfast burrito and a mango smoothie very satisfying

This is probably my favorite gelato place in SF. The ambiance is really good, the service is wonderful, and the gelatos are just put of this world. I had one of their creminos and it was so well made. The layers were distinguishable but yet they all blended so well to create this amazing taste! Must visit!

Delicious chocolate cake, and fun interior. I am happy all the neighborhood tea houses were closed, otherwise Id have not found Toy Boat Dessert Cafe.

Friendly service but overrated desserts. The black and white cookie I chose was not very good at all but the wifes ice cream was good.

Great place to shop for good fruit &vegetables they also have a very fine selection of spirits for any occasion or the fresh meats to make that awesome sandwich this place is a must 😄

Super cute place! Great ice cream and snacks

This was the best place for ice cream. Staff was great and friendly. My kids loved this place.

Neat little shop. Female cashier toasted our bagel. After handling cash from a previous order, she touched the bagel with her bare, unwashed hand to check the temperature then spread the cream cheese. I didn’t eat the bagel.

Four stars for the ice cream - the peanut butter fudge we had was quite creamy and very tasty, but the other flavors we sampled seemed a bit icy. Two stars for the value, $3.95 for one small scoop in a cup seems steep even for CA, even for small batch locavore ice cream.

Fun idea to combine toys and dessert but they fall flat on flavors and customer service.

Old school cafe/desert place that kids love after Giorgios or Korean bbq on Geary. The collectible memorabilia is fun.

Came here with my uncle and 2 oldest children years ago, great place for ice cream and collectibles.

I come here for the ice cream! Not just any ice cream but a combination I thought I could only get a a cold stone creamery or some other type of ice cream place. My favorite combination is vanilla bean ice cream with peanut butter swirl and chocolate chips...or at Toy Boat Its a Goodie! Oh and it is! I love that they have unique flavors here and an array of desserts, not just ice cream. The decor is cute and it reminds me of an old school toy box! They have neat toys all around. But I didnt come to play with the toys, I came for the ice cream, and I will be going back...especially since I can get a pint or a quart of my favorite to take home with me and enjoy!

A delightful treat to have on Clement Street - an Inner Richmond original. The bright, old-school store front filled with nostalgia and toys serves as a perfect backdrop for a neighborhood gem that brings in all types - college students, families with kids, grown-ups that are kids at heart. I have not had any food but have definitely tried most of the ice cream flavors :) The service behind the counter is friendly and the hours are great: Toy Boat closes late, for when you find that last little bit of room in your tummy for ice cream after Burma Superstar/Mandalay/Q Restaurant/Halu/Pizza/Korean BBQ/etc.If anything, stop in to check out the Pez Collection behind the counter! Is there any place else on Clement Street like this? No! :)

Great place. The deserts are fantastic and the ice cream tastes great. The décor is fun with all the toys. Always busy and the staff is friendly.

Disappointed grainy textured ice cream. Avoid mint & cookie dough!!!

The ice cream is perfect on a rainy night. Its crammed and crowded and falling apart, not to mention rusting, but the crazy stuff all over the place is so San Francisco, so Inner Richmond, so Clement Street. The building its in is very old. Go outside and take a look; I think its from the very early 1900s or even the late 1800s.

Looks like a great toy collectors cafe!

I love this old-school cafe. Reminds me of when I moved to SF almost 25 years ago!

They have gluten-free ice cream cones and a great selection of Double Rainbow ice creams!

The key lime pie is better than the beatles

Lovely old-fashioned neighborhood place with thoughtful service

We are frequent visitors to Toy Boat...from a coffee run to a late night dessert run. The ice cream selections are great, and they even have seasonal flavors (i.e. pumpkin, peppermint, etc.). Their salads are good for sharing. What I love best is the staff; theybe become second family to us. Jesse (owner) loves to chat it up and keeps it real, while the other staff are good about remembering what your favorites are if you are frequent visitors like us. The toy and trinket selections are so awesome, a collectors dream. And what kid doesnt love a ride on a mechanical horse?

Great place for kids ( mechanical horse ) & adults. Good coffee, ice cream, pastries for both taste levels.
