How to Dive into the Scoop-tastic Journey

  • Variety's the Spice: We've handpicked destinations that promise an enchanting mix of classic ice creams, luscious gelatos, and daring flavors that will tantalize and satisfy your taste buds.

  • Smooth Sailing: To ensure maximum tasting enjoyment and minimize waiting time, we've thoughtfully pre-ordered a spectrum of flavors from each parlor.

  • The Art of Choice: We've mapped out two distinct tasting routes. Depending on the day and the parlors' availability, our experts select the most flavorful path for your journey.

  • Scoop Stories: As we hop from one parlor to the next, we'll sprinkle in amusing tidbits: quirky ice cream trivia, its fascinating history, and delightful facts that'll enhance your ice cream adventure.

Join us on a lip-smacking expedition, savoring a symphony of textures and tastes in every delectable bite.

Note: If dairy isn't your ally, tread lightly. The majority of our selections, roughly 75-85%, contain dairy, with very limited or no alternatives.

FAQ - Frequently Ask Questions: 

1. Can we choose the Ice Cream Stops?

  • Nope, that's our job! We've scoured the city, taste-testing at all the coolest ice cream spots, and mingling with the quirkiest characters. Trust us, we're the experts you came here for!

2. What if we have dietary restrictions?

  • Sorry, this isn't a lactose-intolerant's dream. This tour is all about tasting, and about 75-85% of the items we've pre-selected are dairy-packed delights. Be warned, there might also be nuts, bacon, and other non-dairy ingredients in the mix. Unfortunately, vegetarian and gluten-free options are not a big part of this experience. To keep things on track and avoid endless lines, we order pints of ice cream in advance, so accommodating individual dietary restrictions can wreck the schedule.

3. Where's the rendezvous point?

  • We'll meet you at the whimsically named Umbrella Alley, 757 Beach Street in San Francisco. Umbrella Alley is where the magic begins!

4. Do we get an itinerary/tasting list in advance?

  • Nah, we like to keep you in suspense! The tasting choices and stops are part of the adventure itself, so you'll discover them as we go along. If you're curious, though, check out our example flavors and the caliber of ice cream shops we visit for a sneak peek.

5. When should we book? Do you take last-minute bookings?

  • For our tours, we recommend booking at least a week in advance. Last-minute bookings might limit options when it comes to shops and tasting selections available. So, don't delay, book your ice cream extravaganza early!

6. Can I get a refund or reschedule my ticket?

  • Bookings are refundable if you let us know 24 hours in advance. Within that 24-hour window, there are no refunds, and you can't reschedule. We have to pre-order and prepay for all those delicious tastings, and being a small company, last-minute cancels are impossible to refill. So, please be sure before you book!

7. Is gratuity included?

  • Nope, we don't include gratuity. In the tourism world, it's customary to tip around 15%-20%, which comes to approximately $20.00 per guest. You can think of it as a sweet way to show your appreciation.

8. Will I eat enough Ice Cream?

  • Absolutely! Our tasting sizes are designed to let you savor a wide variety of flavors and styles. If we served full-size cones or cups, you'd miss out on the adventure. We're all about discovery, so get ready for some unconventional, mind-blowing flavors. Plain vanilla and chocolate lovers, beware - this tour is for the adventurous!

9. Can we add in some San Francisco sightseeing?

  • Absolutely! We're not just about ice cream – we're your tour guides to the city's gems. If you fancy a spin across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge or a zigzag down the legendary Lombard Street (yes, the curviest one!), you can spice up your tour with an extra 30 minutes or a full hour. Get your cameras ready for some picture-perfect sightseeing!

10. Can we mix and match the two routes? 

  • Sorry, no mix-and-match magic here! Depending on the day, you'll either dive into The Mission and Potrero Hill districts or explore The Fillmore and Lower Haight Districts. Our route is dictated by the operating day/hours of our chosen ice cream havens. But alas, we can't blend these routes because these delightful parlors are sprinkled across the city like sweet surprises.

11. Are there additional charges on top?

  • Nope, our pricing already includes everything but the gratuity! No sneaky "booking fees" or hidden charges here. We like to keep things as sweet and straightforward as possible!
