Over The Moon Creamery

The two times I went here I was happily welcomed and graciously helped when choosing which flavor of ice cream to get. Although both times were late at night, they kept this upbeat persona and showed no sign of annoyance. As for the ice cream, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten some so delicious. They have a variety of flavors to choose from, as well as cookies and shakes. I would highly recommend this place to anyone going to San Francisco.

I was craving ice cream one day and had never heard of Over the Moon before, so it was a pleasant surprise to find it on Yelp. It was really easy to get to - a short walk from BART/MUNI, right near the giant fountain along the Embarcadero. I ordered a scoop of mango coconut (mmm) with a cookies and cream cookie, based off the recommendation from one of the staff there (she was really friendly and was saying how the cookies and cream cookie was her favourite one there!). It's a small place with limited places to stand/sit; that being said, they offer a lot of flavours of ice cream, sorbet, and cookies. Besides, on a beautiful SF day, it's much nicer to take your treats to-go and walk along the waterfront or take a seat in the nearby park.

This is exceptional ice cream that is very different. Very creamy and almost whipped texture with a thick satisfying taste. The cookie bowl was dry and tasteless but I would recommend this to be something you have got to try coming to the area. It was relatively cheap and the most enjoyment I had with food in San Francisco. The service was just as good too, I and other patrons were happily greeted, fair recommendations were made, and I liked getting a metal tasting spoon. As a tourist I would forget about spending money on nice food in the area and save it. Then come here and get your heart's greatest desires.
