Tucker’s Super Creamed Ice Cream

Great local ice cream place with homemade ice cream, with a ton of choices. Always some interesting new flavor to try, but I usually go for one of my old standbys anyway… Chocolate Peanut Butter (like a Reese’s peanut butter cup) or Brownie a La Mode (so good) or Mint Chip (which I am pretty sure uses Andes candies… Omg yum). Lovely back patio to enjoy your ice cream on a warm night. The sundaes are delish too. I am always drawn in by the smell of fresh made waffle cones. A real Alameda community gem!

What i love the most about this place is the entire staffs always do a great service.
I love their cookies n cream ice cream. It was excellent.

Super long line at 10pm on a Sunday. Understandable because it’s summer I guess. Ice cream was great! So many options though, it was hard to choose. Also I wish they made it easier to understand their serving options. For example, it said they could do an ice cream sandwich, but it didn’t show anywhere what kind of cookie, so I asked, and it still wasn’t made clear. I ended up getting something like caramel swirl and it was really good! I also got a slice of peanut butter and chocolate fudge, which was just too sweet for me. I had a bite and I was done.

More than anything I would go to this ice cream shop for ambiance and if you are not a supporter of big chain businesses. Hate Walmart? Starbucks? You will love this place. Its one of a kind on a street full of unique places. Sure there is a Starbucks an Peets having a coffee battle down the street but there are even more unique places like the antique place or mini golf spot.
Great ice cream — just as expected. Even better than great — but it will cost a bit more than other spots. Mango and black berry (exact name?) are my favorites and I’ve tried many flavors first having come here maybe 15 years ago. Both are slightly better than at Clancy’s or Loards. Softer, better berry/​fruit taste — an optimal dessert spot if you just had dinner at Tomatinas and already secured that parking spot. Topping are not needed — this ice cream is awesome as is. A cone adds a little something — they are special.
The feel of the old building and ambiance really sets this apart from the competition. Sure, the ice cream is marginally better than other places but the character and atmosphere here beats all the competition by a landslide. You are greeted by the faint old smell of the building, then after you are through the entrance the ceiling soars you see unique chandeliers, a dramatic fireplace, mosaic tiles on the stairs that lead to the second floor. The aroma of waffle cones baking, little kids giggling and light chatter from other patrons.
Now with summer here it makes even more sense to come. Often Alameda is ten degrees cooler than Hayward which can make all the difference in outdoor comfort. Parking is rough but there is a lot behind and if you are right with God you will get a spot.
Grab an ice cream and enjoy the bay breeze. Walk off your 500 calories and guilt by wandering up and down the beach afterward.
Ice cream 5 stars
Ambiance 6 stars
Parking 2 stars
Value 4 stars (double scoop in bowl $ 5.75, ½ gallon $ 9.75)
For the record my favorite ice cream spot is the original Ghirardelli ice cream shop in SF… not because of the ice cream itself but because of the hot fudge. I like the relatively small portion you get too but $$$ and worth it. My second favorite ice cream shop is what I make at home myself: I get mangoes let them age till perfectly ripe. Peel chop into chunks and freeze. Next I dump cream and a touch of honey and frozen mango chunks into my Ninja (not being overly sweet is what sets my homemade ice cream apart). In just seconds I have ice cream with a shockingly strong mango flavor since the mangoes consist of perhaps 50% of the ice cream. Then I top with my homemade raspberry syrup (seeds strained out) that I mix with lemon juice. The flavor is intense — but its lots of work. If I’m lazy I get the cheapest vanilla ice cream from the store (Usually the healthiest as its got less fat) then I dress it up with enough toppings that the lack of flavor in the ice cream goes unnoticed.
Also try nearby Crispian Bakery in Alameda. Their Almond croissants beat all competition by a landslide and they are a super value.

Im in Alameda quite often so i do come here enough. I do enjoy the ice cream from here but its nothing that blows me away.
–good spot for classic ice cream flavors and their waffle cones are great too
–peanut butter chocolate, birthday cake & marble are some of my favorites
–sundaes are awesome too
–i enjoy that they also serve ice cream in those glass sundae cups if you get it to dine in!
–almost like a Baskin Robbins in all honesty
— i think everything is a bit overpriced for what you’re getting
There are so many new ice cream places in the bay area that have really cool, unique flavors and this isn’t the place if thats what your looking for. Still a solid ice cream shop though.

Long lines. Take out the ambience and the ice cream choices are still 4 stars hands down. Mango, coconut, ube are great.
If people keep coming back, and don’t mind the lines then it is saying something about the ice cream.
The only problem is that it is in Alameda, and I am in LA and I am tired of going to Handels.

Jamocha almond fudge? Yes please! Carrot cake? Oh please! Super delicious. price is a bit high, but it’s pretty darn good… nice spot and chill place to have dessert mid day. Would definitely come back, they have a ton of flavors and even pints to go!

My ice cream flavor is coconut pineapple.
The owner served us, she is really cute and adorable.

First off, I literally wish I could bottle up the smell of the fresh waffle cones and just take it home with me. It smelled so freaking good in there! I had a scoop of the birthday cake and the coffee oreo crumble. The birthday cake was good but the oreo crumble was so so so yummy!
If you’re in Alameda and looking for some ice cream, go here.

Well, well, well, what do we have here?! Whilst going for a stroll after dinner, the smell of the fresh waffle cones reeled me in. Perfect timing!
Big huge parlor so bring the whole crew! Perfect for hanging with friends or bonding with the fam over some good ol’ ice cream. Lots of flavors to choose from. I got a baby-​sized (sorry, fit life!) Salted Caramel cone. Didn’t get to try it this time, but I’ll definitely be coming back for a frozen chocolate dipped banana.
This place is just cool! For some reason I really like the feels of being inside the place. Come check it out!
No smiles from the staff :(They seemed impatient and annoyed as I excitingly asked what flavor they suggested for a first timer. Killed the spark a little bit there guys!
Anyways, I’ll be back!

Old fashioned ice cream shop on the main drag in Alameda. All ice cream is tasty, rich, and creamy. I always get the lemon custard, which is rich and refreshing at once. An Alameda institution, and with good reason. You can get tubs of ice cream to go, too.

I had just got done having my Chinese New Year Feast at Hong Kong City Seafood. Which is down the street from Tuckers and I love Ice Cream so a nice after Dinner Ice Cream Cone sounded like a wonderful Idea .
In Alameda Tuckers is an Iconic Institution in this small island Community. Its probably the best Ice Cream in town.
So I strolled down Park Street to Tuckers and there was a good sized line and the place was pretty packed. So I grabbed a spot in line and a few minutes later I was being waited on .
I ordered a Waffle Cone with 2 scoops of Mint Chocolate Chip and I received it in a few minutes. I paid for it and started enjoying it right away. MMMmmm so good a Tasty Treat .
We all Scream for Ice Cream!!!
Ill definitely will be back LOL.

I’ve passed by this place dozens of times but never stopped in. Why? Why? Why?
I think I’ve been with vegan Mr Rinky or the son who steered me away… I felt like one of those rescued seals who were lovingly «guided» by the Marine Mammal Rescue Center with those board– like shields.
Of course in the dead of winter I finally managed to escape my «guards» and made a beeline into ice cream heaven.
Tucker’s is an old fashioned ice cream parlor. You order at the counter. There are so many choices of ice cream, sorbet and sherbets and cones; sundaes; floats; shakes,; malts;
and enticing chocolate covered bananas, malted cho cho’s and more.
I felt like a kid again – no, no, erase that — I always feel like a kid. Mmmmmmm so many chocolate choices — -I settled on a scoop of Chocolate Fantasy which has chocolate chips, fudge sauce and maybe nuts (forgot the 3^rd item). It was divine. I floated out of Tucker’s — totally oblivious to Mr Rinky who was seated at a table immersed in a book.
I took my cone back to the car. Bliss — this was the ice cream of my dreams — so creamy and flavorful. I was in sugar Nirvana. I assumed Mr Rinky had gone across the street to Books Inc.
After a half an hour Mr Rinky returned to the car, «Hey didn’t you see me sitting at that table?»
«No.» I answered still in a sugar coma induced state. He just shook his head. Yes another adventure with the Rinky’s.
Forget Fenton’s…go directly to Tucker’s!

I’ve tried a lot of flavors here and their salted butter caramel ice cream is definitely my favorite! Perfect salty and sweet ratio.
Every time I have an ice cream craving and I come here, there’s always a line…

Tucker’s ice cream is only okay nothing too special as they get their ice cream from a vendor. The waffle cones is pretty good when it’s fresh.
— Toasted almond is good with the waffle cone… my usual when I come here
— Coffee break was good but it’s too rich
— Strawberry was just average

We came here randomly after looking for a good dessert spot in Oakland and didn’t realize how well-​known Tucker’s was until we found it on Unilocal and were we glad we found it! The ice cream parlor was a pretty huge spot and spacious. There were tons of flavors to choose from, but there was one that obviously stood out on the menu and that was the Salted Butter Caramel. In fact, the employee told us it was their most popular flavor by far so I had to get it. I ordered a single scoop of that on top of scoop of Burgundy Cherry on a HUGE waffle cone.
I absolutely loved both flavors!!! It might’ve just been the fact that they were the perfect compliment for each other, but the Salted Butter Caramel was real rich and creamy while the Burgundy Cherry did its job offsetting the sweetness of the Caramel. The Burgundy Cherry was very refreshing. If anyone decides to order the Salted Butter Caramel, I highly recommend getting a fruity flavor to compliment it.
The workers were pretty nice, nothing extraordinary and during the time we visited at around 4pm on a Monday it was rather empty as expected. The other flavors looked very enticing as well so I’ll definitely be keeping Tucker’s in my mind if I ever visit Oakland again.

Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.
Good motto to live by.
We stopped by after dinner down the street. The line is a bit long, but definitely worth the wait. And it only got longer after we finished ordering.
They have a lot of different types of ice cream flavors. They also have fudges and cakes, too!
The building, a Spanish colonial revival, is super neat looking. It’s spacious and has plenty of room to sit. There’s even a giant window that overlooks the street.
I’d love to return to try out more flavors at some point! The mocha almond fudge one I had was super tasty and just what I was craving.

I am Superman.
You read that right. I am Superman. It’s true. I don’t know why I kept it secret for so long, but I guess I was finally ready to reveal it to the world today. Through Unilocal,apparently.
However, I’m not THE Superman. I am A Superman. You see, THE Superman has only one real weakness, and that’s kryptonite. Well, I’m – I guess you can say – superior to THE Superman in that sense, because I am not weak to kryptonite. You see, I have another weakness… and that is ice cream.
With their awesome little logo and cool exterior, Tucker’s got me pretty good. It knew I couldn’t resist ice cream. It knew.
I walked inside and was met by a cool interior with lots of pictures of happy customers on bulletin boards as well as seating in a nice open area. Lots of pre-​made ice creams – malts, drumstick-​like creations – were available as well as a bunch of regular scoopable (not a word, but hey, it’s like THE perfect word here) ice cream.
Ice cream here is a tad expensive, I suppose, but nothing too outrageous. One scoop is $ 3.75, which is exactly what I went for; I got a scoop of cookies and cream in a sugar cone.
The ice cream melted really quickly, which I can only attribute to how fire I am.
I’ll let that line soak in a little.
Anyways, the cookies and cream itself wasn’t bad. The Oreos were the prevailing flavor for sure, but I didn’t think the ice cream was anything extraordinary. The scoop itself wasn’t really large, and as a result I finished it pretty quickly.
For the price and average ice cream, Tucker’s is, to me, alright. While ice cream is my weakness, in this case I do think I would be able to eventually defeat it – specifically, if I ever come to Downtown Alameda again and pass by Tuckers, I would be able to pass on it.
And that makes me the better Superman.

On a hot day, Tucker’s Ice Cream is the place to be in Alameda. I came for ice cream with my mom and we each ordered Macapuno ice cream– Tagalog for coconut flavored. The ice cream is so good at Tucker’s, I normally order the chocolate mint but I decided to switch out.
I added a picture of freezer full of take home ½ gallons and quarts. I can imagine myself eating ice cream on my sofa watching Netflix, or soon to be the start of the NFL football season.
By the looks of the long line, this was the place to be.

I love coming to Tuckers whenever I’m visiting the east bay area. This place is located in downtown Alameda. It feels like an old fashioned/​retro ice cream joint. The menu is relatively small and it’s pretty simple. I’ve tried the salted butter caramel and the heath crunch and they’re both to die for. The ice cream is rich and creamy. I’m lactose intolerant and I forgot my lactaid pills one time and I thought my stomach would be upset for having too much diary, but all was good. WHEW! You can definitely taste the quality of the ice cream. Be prepare to wait in the line if you’re there during the weekend. I think it’s worth the wait.
*Parking– either street parking or there’s parking lots with parking meters on the side streets.
