The Olde San Francisco Creamery

Ive been to this place a couple of times and I have never had a complaint. The place is clean, Friendly Staff, Tons of ice cream flavors to choose from! Great for kids and parties too! The last time I went was with about 8 friends on a Friday night. We got the kitchen sink and it was a lot of fun! If you do plan to go sometime during the weekend just be prepared for a little wait but it will all be worth it at the end!

The Olde San Francisco Creamery is to die for! Definitely not the healthiest place but who cares when it tastes like a slice of heaven on earth. Chicken Parmesan Focaccia and the Mushroom Swiss Burger are my faves, of course paired with whatever milkshake I’m craving at the moment (normally some kind of oreo concoction). And when your done I dare you to try the Kitchen Sink Challenge, «We take three sliced bananas, scoops of your choice of up to 8 flavors of ice creams, 8 servings of toppings, mounds and mounds of whipped cream, chopped toasted almonds and cherries.» I believe the current challenge time was last clocked at 20 minutes, but good luck beating it! Whenever my boyfriend and I feel like chowing down this is our place. It is extremely family friendly and casual.

I was pretty bummed when I visited a business just down the street for an item I need just to find out they sell barely anything useful anymore. So, while looking around the area I found this ice cream joint. Apparently it’s very popular because there is a huge table of teens yelling, jumping all around and making it so loud that it’s difficult to place an order.
I found a way! I ordered a one scoop brownie sundae with coffee ice cream. Good thing I didn’t order two scoops! Portions are generous. The brownie is warm song gooey– just right. The ice cream is well flavored but not over powering. They use fresh whipped cream– yummy! Over all– very good sundae. I docked 1 star for the noise level and people running back and forth.

If you are into real food, this place is ok… Not the best not the worst in food, kinda pricey might as well walk around the street, chicken and waffles isn’t that far.
If you are into ice cream this is the spot. Their kitchen sink is the stuff of legends and you can feed at least five teenagers with that one thing. Served in a small sink. Featured in man versus food.

Went in with a party of six to try out the kitchen sink challenge. It’s around $ 48 so about $ 8 per person for us. It’s craziness, messiness, and sweetness all in one! You are allowed to choose 8 ice cream flavors and 8 servings of toppings! It’s recommended to do in groups unless you really love ice cream and somehow manage to do it all by yourself. I remember the last time I went here, there was a man who was taking on this challenge all by himself. Very impressive, but he was unfortunately unable to finish it… haha. WHO COULD?!
Everyone got to choose what they wanted to add because it was only fair that each of us had a say in our ice cream sundae creation. We had gummy bears, chocolate chips, cherries, etc… it was all types of crazy in a sundae! It was extremely messy especially when it started melting, so be ready for that. Make sure nobody’s a germaphobe because everyone’s constantly digging their spoons in the whole time. You should know what your’e getting into!
It was a really fun experience that I recommend to everyone! But beware, you might end up spending a good amount of time with the toilet afterwards because it might not settle well if you eat it with anything else.

I’ve only been here one time and that was to pick up some ice cream to go. I walked in, was serviced right away and walked out with delicious ice cream in hand. Pretty standard in terms of ice cream shops. Their flavors are pretty good. I ended up trying a few but landed on the Uh Oh Oreo cookies and cream one. Those are the white cookie oreos. It was very creamy and delicious and a little different than the cookies and cream I’ve come to love over the years. The portion sizes are very generous as well. I went in for a cup of ice cream and I left with the Matterhorn in my cup. All in all a great ice cream shop that I would love to visit when I’m in the area again. I want to try one of their other unique flavors.

Wanted to add to my last review! I love this place. The ice cream is the best i have ever had. The coffee cookie dough is my favorite. The sundaes are so huge and hard to share!!! Me and my boyfriend could not finish the brownie sundae!!!
I also love the crab sandwich. Its seriously amazing.
Hot chocolate was also amazing… A perfect treat after we went to see nutcracker at the lesher theater down the street.
The waiting area is so crammed… Ugh.

After a long day of shopping at the Livermore outlets, my friends and I decided to drive the additional 25 minutes to get some delicious ice cream at this place. My husband and I were the only ones who haven’t eaten here before.
I will drive any distance for yummy desserts!
We arrived here about 30 minutes before they closed, ordered a two scoop sundae with coffee crunch and mint cookie. Their ice cream wasn’t overly sweet which was great. I plan on making another stop out here eventually and to explore the walnut creek area!

I seriously don’t know why we keep coming here. The menus smell like mildew, and the food is okay on the verge of «why am I trying to finish this food?!»
My hubby had the patty melt and I had spaghetti and meatballs. The beef in both of our meals tasted like it was frozen before and generic dried seasoning/​spices. The macaroni and cheese was watery and bland. My son enjoyed the kid’s Cesar salad.
The ice cream is still good. No more lunches here for us. Can’t do it.

If you love chocolate like me give the OMG a try, it’s all I will order now.
San Francisco Creamery is better than Fenton’s and had better ice cream than Ghiradelli.
For parties try their custom ice cream cakes, so good!
Only con is that service can be very slow inside when seated. Lately, I’ve been gettig it to go from the to go window.
Love watching them make the kitchen sink.

WE. ALL. SCREAM. FOR. ICE. CREAM.
Like FORREAL. Ice cream is definitely my middle name, lol. I love ice cream forever. SF creamery makes my taste buds sing! Makes me sing a happy tune all the time :) It has that old fashion ice cream shop feels. This place has indoor & minimal outdoor seating. There’s two lines once you walk in! Sit down or ice cream to go! I always sit down. SF creamery has a menu for food too… But seriously. When you come here, why get food when you can have ice cream?! SF creamery is home to the kitchen sink… Which I have yet to try! There’s also more premade creations, but I always opt to create my own! My creation is caramel white chocolate chip with jersey topping!!! MMMMM! I don’t even know what the jersey topping is… But it’s AMAZING! & of course it’s a sundae so it’s topped with whipped cream, nuts & a cherry! Hahaha. I’m never disappointed when I come here!

I came here to satisfy my ice cream fix. And this place is one of the few places left that serves old school ice cream: ice cream Sunday, root beer floats, everything-​but-​the-​kitchen-​sink, banana smoothies… Much more
They have two sections to this place. You can go into the restaurant and order a sit down meal. They have a full menu complete with appetizers, entrees and of course deserts.
Then they also have a desert counter where you can order anything and everything ice cream. So it’s like two places in one.
I ordered the banana smoothie with a basket of fries.
They have plenty of seating inside and out, so it’s an ideal place to come on hot days. I would say evenings are best, because you can get a full meal.
Also be prepared to take on their challenges. If you can finish the «everything but the kitchen sink desert» within 30 minutes you eat for free and get your picture taken!

Another place not on my radar but suggested by Jeremiah E. because it was on Man vs. Food or something. Granted, we had just come from Homeroom in Oakland so were pretty stuffed from THAT carb-​loading. Therefore, we did not attempt the Kitchen Sink this time around. but we did come strictly with ice cream in mind. There was a kid’s party going on at the time so it wasn’t the most quiet atmosphere. I’m more of a quiet big kid who savors her ice cream sundaes slowly, in peace.
Shared the Warm and Toasty brownie sundae, which was pretty decent. A ton of the hot fudge was already off the dish onto the plate when it came to the table. A little bummed that the ice cream was just vanilla (specks of vanilla bean were visible though, which is a good sign), and the hot fudge was a little thinner than I’m used to. Curious as to how their other hot toppings fare (caramel and butterscotch). Topped with almonds (is it just me, or is everyone averse to peanuts these days?), whipped cream and a cherry. The first bites of the brownie were a little tough/​chewy but that’s possibly due to it being an edge piece/​cut. Once the ice cream melted, the warmer pieces of brownie in the middle softened up perfectly.
Photos of Kitchen Sink conquerors grace each table’s napkin dispenser, and the wall near the entrance. Restrooms are singles. Separate lines for ordering to go and pickup, otherwise someone will seat you for dine-​in. as an interesting location in the middle of Walnut Creek shops, convenient parking garage within walking distance (pay with a token).

Their ice cream is always on point when I come here!
The kitchen sink is probably why most people come here and it’s definitely a novelty item to get. In my honest opinion, it’s good to get the kitchen sink once for the experience (and pictures of course) but you only really need to get it once because it’s not that special. If you don’t mind conflicting flavors and toppings touching and melding together, the kitchen sink can probably feed 3 – 4 die-​hard ice cream lovers or 5 – 8 average ice cream joes. Personally I like to get ice cream flavors and toppings that go well together so I always opt for their brownie sundae!
Their brownie sundae had warm brownie on the bottom with 3 generous scoops of vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce topped with whipped cream, chopped almonds and a cherry (YASS heaven on earth…). I’m a sucker for brownie sundaes and I love how their brownies are soft and gooey (I hate it when the brownie is crunchy and cold) and their vanilla ice cream wasn’t too sweet so they complimented each other very nicely.
Also, their curly fries are frikkin delicious and taste beautifully with some ice cream on the side for some strange but wonderful reason. This place does get really busy but they have a to-​go ice cream section outside the restaurant if you don’t want to dine in.
I’ll definitely be coming back here because I want to try their ube and pumpkin pie ice cream!

I only come here for two things: ice cream and fries.
I’ve been here a few times and the first two times we got the kitchen sink. The kitchen sink is massive and good for groups that dont mind all the flavors touching and toppings lol. Eating the kitchen sink can get pretty tiring because you’re eating huge mound of ice cream AND looking at the whole mess in front of you. It can get sickening sometimes. I’ve also tried their fudge sundae and it was really good. The brownie at the bottom is soft and chewy and super chocolatey. My favorite two flavors I’ve tried are the toasted almond and apple pie, although the apple pie can get too sweet after a while for me.
The fries I get are the curly garlic fries which are pretty bomb. The thing most places that sell garlic fries that irks me is that they use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic and herbs. This place uses fresh garlic and parsley and it makes the garlic-​y flavor more prominent and soooo good. As for the curly fries itself, they’re ordinary curly fries aka they’re awesome lol.
This place can get really busy at night with a line out the door, especially with large groups. Also, it’s pretty loud inside and EVERY time I go, theres a group of loud obnoxious teenagers… not the restaurants fault of course, but still pretty annoying lol. It’s also not the cleanest place; sticky tables (i’m guessing from residual ice cream) and cloudy water cups.

KITCHEN SINK! Every time I come here, that is what I get… not for myself, but as a group, haha. It’s one of those trying – to-​keep-​in-​touch-​with-​friends-​once-​in-​a-​while-​get-​togethers and it’s great. You get to choose 8 different flavors and 8 toppings. Choose wisely because the ice cream melts and things will mix, so don’t go crazy in getting a mint right next to a mango, or a coffee next to a bubblegum. It does get expensive, so make sure you guys want it.
Their other sundaes are pretty good. I always like the black and tan because I love almond ice cream with homemade fudge. I also add caramel topping to it. However, their caramel topping isn’t as good as Fenton’s caramel. Fenton’s has a more buttery flavor and I love it. So unhealthy but sooo good.
The sad thing is that they close pretty early for my friends and I. I usally bring a big group, but when want to come here to eat the Kitchen Sink, it is always super crowded at that prime 8/​9pm dessert time, or after 9pm is when we get the sudden craving for massive loads of ice cream and they are closed (weekdays).
The workers have always been nice when I’ve gone, but get backed up when they are busy, especially with lines of people out the door, waiting for ice cream.
This place would deserve a 5 if it closed later and had more seating area. The former can easily be fixed, the latter, not so much. Still love this place and recommend it to all my friends though!

Caught up with a friend here on a Friday evening and was seated really quickly! They’ve got quite a lot on their menu so there’s definitely something for everyone. The portions are HUGE so if you’re not too hungry, you could probably go for a kids meal and be all set.
The service was great! Quick and friendly, and he happily answered all our questions and was patient when we were deciding/​changing our mind while he stood there (yeah we were one of those, sorry!)
The ice cream was superb! They pile on huuuuge scoops and it’s all so good. Plus there’s so many different flavors and combinations to choose from!
Surprisingly, for the amount of people in there it wasn’t crazy loud. It’s smaller so there are people walking by your table quite often but it’s not too huge a deal. If you’re sitting at one of the tables instead of the booths, they do get kind of close to each other so if you need your space, grab a booth.
Once I can get enough friends together, we’re definitely going for the Kitchen Sink: D

I luv ice cream. I finally drove to Walnut Creek to give this place a try. It’s located in Downtown Walnut Creek, so you can always walk around either before or after you enjoy ice cream, so you can walk-​off a few lbs. and do some shopping. My family and I decided to eat lunch, as well as order ice cream. Thus, we opted-​out of trying to take-​down the Kitchen Sink.
My wife and I shared the Chicken Pot Pie with garlic fries. The Pot Pie was very good, had a fluffy crust and a good amount of chicken, potatoes, carrots and edamame inside. The garlic fries were excellent. My sons enjoyed the Three Little Piggie sammie and the BBQ Tri Tip sammie. Both were also very good.
For ice cream, we enjoyed a kiddie scoop of the mint chip and 3 two-​scoop sundae’s. Portions were very good and everything tasted awesome. I like that they offer a variety of ice cream flavors and toppings to choose from as you create your own sundae. The service was excellent and the staff were helpful as well.

Watch out — I’m gonna say it — I like this place more than Fenton’s! :-O
We came on a Friday night and even though the place was crackin’, we were seated immediately, right next to the ice cream counter so we could watch all of the amazing sundaes and shakes being made. I had literally watched the Man v. Food episode on Netflix where Adam kills the Kitchen Sink the day before, but didn’t realize this was the Creamery that built it! And yes, I get my date night ideas from Man V. Food…
Looking around, I saw a lot of people eating their own entrees and sundaes — just sickeningly huge portions of food, and we couldn’t handle it. Our server immediately suggested we split an entrée and a sundae, and that it would be no big deal. He saved our lives that night.
We shared the California Chicken Sandwich w/​Fries ($ 10, no extra charge to split) — it was the best diner sandwich I’ve had in at least a year. Super fresh, with avocado, lettuce, pico de gallo, pickles, onions — so many great veggies and fresh, non-​greasy fries. Excellent, and even without a massive sundae, half a sandwich was super satisfying. Eating dinner here is a great value.
We also shared the Candy Train Sundae ($ 9.50), and they easily swapped the chocolate syrup for hot fudge, no problem at all. Ho-​lee-​crap! This 3-​scoop sundae looks benign, but it kicked my ass. Rocky road, mint chip, cookies and cream ice creams were all amazing. The Rocky Road might even just be literally brownie balls stuffed with chopped nuts and marshmallows. The marshmallow cream, hot fudge, m&m’s, and peanut butter cups threw it over the edge. We ate it all, and regretted nothing.
With super-​friendly service, incredible grub, and I-​have-​to-​try-​all-​of-​them sundaes, we’ll definitely be back. Even if you’re looking for a classier date night with seafood fettuccine and glasses of wine, they do that too! If you’re in the area and looking for a fun place to chill, check em’ out.

Been here twice for their ice cream and I still believe this is the best place that has the best ice cream. They have a large variety of flavors on their menu and I have yet to have one that I have not liked.
This location is perfectly placed in downtown Walnut Creek. Parking close to this location is metered until 8 PM and it’s also free on holidays. I’m sure you can find some free parking, but you may have to walk a little. We were here on a Monday and we had no problem finding a parking spot.
We pretty much had the place to ourselves on a Monday at about 830 PM. Service was quick and staff was very fast at making our order. You can also order outside if you are on the go. They also have diner type food to order if you want to pregame before your ice cream fix. Make sure to save a lot of room though because the servings of ice cream are HUGE. Restaurant is very clean and has a diner vibe to it.
I got the Regular serving of 2 scoops and 2 toppings for about $ 8.50. Scoops are very large and they are generous with their toppings. Ice cream tastes like none I have ever tasted before. It is very creamy and packed with flavor. I have had: Apple Pie, Cookies and Cream, Swiss Milk Chocolate, Carmel White Chocolate Chip, and Coffee Cookie Dough. All of these flavors are amazing and you can’t go wrong by getting any of these.
They also have many sundaes to charge with one or two other people. They make shakes and floats as well. They have a «Kitchen Sink Challenge» that is a ton of ice cream and a ton more toppings and a banana that you can attempt to eat by yourself. You can also just buy this and share it with a large party. This costs you about $ 44 and can easily satisfy 6 – 8 peeps. Maybe even 10 if you have a few health conscious people in your party.
Definitely go here to indulge on some tasty ice cream and a large variety of toppings. I have not had food here so you may have to read others’ reviews for food reviews. Definitely go here when in the hood.

Tout bonnement excellent, que ce soit les glaces, faites maison et véritablement énorme. Les burgers sont très bons et pour ma part je recommande les nachos, qui sont un vrai régal. Toutes personnes passant par San Francisco devrait faire un détour pour aller manger là bas, d’autant plus qu’il suffit de prendre le BART pour arriver à Walnut Creek.
