Dreyer’s Waffle Shop

I couldn’t resist after smelling the fresh waffle cones along the who pier. I got a double scoop or macadamia nut ice cream in a waffle cone and I did not regret one bite of it.
There is no clear line but the server calls for the next guest loud so out can walk right up and she served us fast.
Stop but here to get your ice cream fix. Also I suggest getting the doughnuts next door at Trish’s mini doughnuts and eating that with the ice cream too!

I’m not so sure why the reviews are so bad. Dreyer’s ice cream is going to be the same anywhere you go… and being in San Francisco, EVERYTHING is expensive! I didn’t have a bad experience.
I used a local advantage coupon and got an extra buck off my single scoop waffle cone! I think it came out to be like $ 3 or something like that. My go-​to favorite flavor is mint chip… but for Dreyer’s I love the mocha almond fudge and that’s what I go. They scooped alot! The place smells good, like of freshly made waffle cones. I’d go here again, and for sure I would use a coupon again!

they don’t have regular sugar or small cones. just waffle cones. way too much cone for kids. both kids wanted different flavors and they each ate about half. so yea for 6 bucks, the chocolate waffle cone is expensive. but having at pier 39, you would expect that price. its like buying it at a baseball game. just wish they could of had smaller cones for maybe a buck less?

Chocolate waffle cone!
The smell lures you up to the little stand. They had the typical flavors you’d expect. The server seemed disinterested, but wasn’t exactly rude. For being in Pier 39, it was okay, but there are certainly better ice cream spots in the city.

A winner with the kids

Skip this place. The place originally earned one star for the pleasant younger gal scooping the ice cream, but lost all stars on the rude and unsanitary practices of the older lady at the register. Even though I knew it was a rip off, my kids wanted one so I bought each of them a waffle cone. I also had a local Pier 39 coupon for an extra scoop. To be able to get the second scoop the older lady said one of my kids needed to hand a partially eaten cone back to her behind the counter. So she couldn’t scoop it into the cup and give it to me, but can scoop it on top of a partially eaten cone so I can then immediately put into a cup she provided? It was so weird that I even questioned her directly whether it was sanitary. She said it had to be done this way, but when I looked at the younger gal she shrugged her shoulder and had the same expression on her face as I’m sure I did. Wow. Strange, unsanitary practices, and nothing special about the ice cream… same stuff you can buy at the grocery store. Avoid!

I had a single scoop of strawberry ice cream on a cone. The ice cream is very mediocre but the cone is freshly made so it’s actually pretty good.
and get this — the cone is HUGE. i also like that they have a holder at the bottom of the cone that you hold on to so you dont get ice cream dripping onto your hands!

Dreyer’s is a very famous ice cream company that really doesn’t make all that great ice cream. For some reason, being in a tourist trap gives them an excuse to rip people off with high prices and lackluster sweets. The ice cream itself is good flavor wise, but it falls into a recurring theme — it’s crystalized. I don’t think ice cream’s supposed to be crunchy… Anyway, I’m sure it shouldn’t be very hard to find better dessert somewhere else.

Went here today to order a Root Beer float. $ 7 a cup, but it was so hot out and it sounded so good. Wife and I ordered 2. They came back half filled with root beer and 1 scoop ice cream.
**Half the cup was completely empty! **
I pushed back the cups and politely asked if they could fill the cups, please, with root beer (since I paid for it).
The server said, «I have to ask.»
«Really?» I thought. «You have to ask to fill the cups with root beer, in a ROOT BEER FLOAT?»
«Fine, ask,» I said, thinking it would be a no brainer.
He came back and said, «you have to pay more if you want more root beer.»
WHAT? $ 7 per cup, $ 14 total, and I only get a ½ cup root beer float? «No way,» I said, «I want a refund.»
SO THEY GAVE ME ONE!
Idiots would rather refund me $ 14 than put 20 more cents worth of root beer in my cup.
I used to get my waffle cones here every time I hit the wharf. I am a local. You just lost another customer.
And you should change the name to «root beer splash,» since there was nothing for my ice cream to float in.

My daughter wanted ice cream after the aquarium visit so here were were. service was fairly quick and friendly.
Just your average ice cream joint.

people who work here are nothing but rude and incompetent. Brother had to repeat order three times! Now they are under investigation for human rights violation this is the last business I would recommend.

It is expensive but my best friend Connie treated me. I got the vanilla ice cream. Delish. We received alright service. It was really crowded because it was after the Fleet Week air show. No one was mean to us so three stars! but no tip…
They also sell self serve candy. 2.50/lb. Dream they a lot of the stuff Sweet Factory had. I found this cigarette box candy. Disgusting. What a great way to set an example for the kids. Tisk Tisk.
They also have self serve frozen yogurt.

sure it’s expensive– but if youre going to shop or eat in the wharf area, what isnt!!! the chocolate waffle cone is to die for. good selection as well. i was craving chocolate or cookie dough. it smells amazingg! youll smell it just by walking by this little store. seems im the only one giving them a good review. that’s because everyone’s rating based on the price. but what about rating based on the food?

RIP OFF in Fisherman’s Wharf tourist hell.
Waffle cone was good.
But SF has Mitchell’s, BiRite, Humphrey’s Slowcombe… FORGET THIS CRAP!

just to add on to the other Unilocaler’s review:
do not like their service — rude & mean. I’ll go somewhere else for ice cream.

This is for their smaller Pier 39 waffle shop location.
Love ice cream.
Love Dreyer’s.
Love their new tart honey frozen yogurt flavor.
Do not love $ 4 for a scoop.
