This GEM is my childhood icecream spot. They serve quality, rich, creamy ice cream here. Definitely don't want to miss this! CASH ONLY!!

Grab some iconic Swensen's ice cream and then enjoy the view from the top of Lombard street. My favorite thing to do in SF.

Founded in 1948--a San Francisco institution only 1/2 block away! The first national Ice Cream Parlor to serve a premium ice cream.
