Humphry Slocombe

SO DELICIOUS, SECRET BREAKFAST, YOU ARE MY FAVORITE GUILTY PLEASURE. And Vietnamese Coffee, you're not too bad yourself. The staff here is friendly, helpful, patient, and GORGEOUS LOOKING PEOPLE. If you don't come here for the ice cream at least come for some eye candy yayuh. Seating is limited, but they do have outdoor tables (: Also equipped with a restroom and water jugs, in case you want to rinse the sweetness from your mouth, BUT WHO WOULD WANT TO DO THAT!? Also, good luck finding street parking!

This ice cream is so good I cry every time I eat there. EDIT: The ice cream is STILL so good and I almost cried again 😭 I got a scoop of Harvey Milk and Honey Graham which was TOTAL PERFECTION. Creamy and packed with graham crackers and a rich honey flavor. My second scoop was Hong Kong Milk Tea which really raised the bar on any and all of tea ice creams in the city. I don't know how they capture the flavor so well but by God, do they. My friend had a scoop of the malted chocolate and WOO! Talk about a chocolate ice cream that really melts in your mouth. They are one of the best ice cream parlors in the city, go out and tear yourself!! (I will say that secret breakfast is overrated and they have much better flavors like Harvey Milk Honey Graham. Sorry not sorry 😐).

Couldn't miss out on Humphrey Slocombe on a trip to San Francisco! This was the last night I was in San Francisco and had to get my boyfriend this experience before we left. We got to the store 3 minutes before they closed and the person at the counter actually turned us down. I requested again if we could have just a scoop because we were visiting were leaving the next day. She was so sweet and we actually had a good conversation after that. She even gave us a tiny bit of extra of a different flavor of your considering just so we could try it. Now for the main part... 1. Secret Breakfast - bourbon flavored ice cream with corn flakes in there. What a beautiful one this was! Definitely definitely worth the hype! Perfect amount of bourbon and the crunch of the corn flakes and everything was just amazing. I wouldn't be able to stop at a scoop if I had that entire pint on me. 2. Stout and Ginger Cookie - another unbelievably good one! This was a seasonal and oh so good! That rich malt flavor of the stout and chunks of ginger cookies in there. Genius! Overall really creamy ice cream, perfectly sweet and a must-try!!

My all time favorite is the Blue Bottle Vietnamese Ice Cream. It's not an in your face coffee ice cream experience. Rather, it has a deliciously velvety and almost buttery mouthfeel that I have dreams about! Whenever I come to Humphrey Slocombe's and don't know what to get or can't try flavors (like now, during COVID), I always know that the Blue Bottle will never let me down.
