Stumbled upon Polly Ann while looking for a source of birthday cake for a friend. Polly Ann is absolutely the best - high quality ice cream, incredibly massive list of flavors, their whipped cream and frosting are the best we've encountered in SF, and the staff all really want to help and worked with me to make every order right! This is now my go-to for birthday cakes, and each one has surprised and delighted. One friend said it's the best birthday cake he ever had. Another friend asked for a 2nd one, because they put left overs in the fridge (ice cream cakes melt in the fridge) and liked the cake so much they wanted a replacement, with the exact same flavors. When I was delayed and couldn't pick up the cake in time for the birthday party, the shop staff were so helpful and worked with me to get an Uber delivery organized and they made sure the driver got the cake and they saved the day! Note: if you order through Doordash or Uber, Polly Ann does delivery, but NOT through their website. The website will let you schedule delivery but this is not accurate, I think the owners are working on fixing the website - in the meantime, ensure you plan on pickup if ordering direct.
stopped by for a treat on my way to the beach & it didn’t disappoint! they have a lot of different ice cream flavours- some common, some a little less common, some unique to this shop. they also have cookies & coffee plus cakes & pints in the freezer. i got a single scoop of pandan in a waffle bowl & it was just what i wanted. very nice & helpful staff too :)
Delicious ice cream! I got the cookie dough. Huge portions and super creamy. Very sweet after a few bites.
Polly Ann has the best black sesame ice cream (imo) and I'll keep coming back for it when I visit SF! It's nutty and creamy - super sesame-forward which I like. I also appreciate the huge variety of flavors they have. The wheel is also super fun.
Great ice cream shop! The flavor selection is great, there are a lot of dairy free and vegan options, and the staff was exceptionally polite and helpful. The cost is very reasonable for SF too. I got dairy free strawberry with fruity pebbles and the hubs got brigadeiro. The location is nestled in a neighborhood but not very close to main attractions. Please note: there are no public restrooms and seating is limited.
