The best ice cream store ever! They have seasonal unique flavors as well as some classics such a chocolate gooey brownie and slated malted chocolate.The best time to go is during daytime on weekdays.Good service, they let you try as many flavors as you like before making your ice cream decisions.

Great cute shop San Jose Ave. In mission terrace. Had my wife's favorite, Spumoni.

Great ice cream but kinda expensive. $4:50 for a single scoop + 75¢ for waffle cone.

Great little ice cream shop! Super friendly and wonderful selection of ice cream.

2 words-homemade soft serve is amazing!

Great neighborhood ice cream place, just a short walk from Balboa Park. Wide variety of interesting flavors - definitely something for everyone in the family to enjoy. Their ice cream is dense and creamy - so dense the plastic spoons often aren't up for the task. But don't worry, the friendly staff is always ready with extra spoons. :) Overall, highly recommended!

Great selection, great service, parking isn't great but this place is very clean and modern. I'd definitely go back. Oh yeah, delicious ?? too

Here’s a welcome sight in a beautiful neighborhood of Mission Terrace. We can’t appreciate enough how sweet it is to have something sweeter in our hood!Flavors are abound, and i will be bringing people here including my kids after baseball practice! Good luck Balboa Ice Cream!

Service: Staff were courteous and friendly, and I appreciated the nice touch of the US flag with my ice cream to commemorate Fourth of July! Scoop prices are reasonable and they allow single splits without charging extra, which is a plus.Ice Cream: I was a tad disappointed in my flavors (Pumpkin and Strawberry Cheesecake) on my first visit; both needed more flavor and sweetness. Texture was thick yet slightly icy.On my second visit, I tried two classic flavors (Cookies & Cream, Green Tea), which were nicely flavored and creamy.Will definitely go back to try their frozen Greek yogurt!Final Price: $4.50 Single split scoop
