An's Dry Cleaning

Now THIS is a SIX STAR Ice Cream establishment. Dry Cleaners? Not sure… maybe 0 star dry cleaning… still haven’t gotten my tux back lol. Jokes aside, whats NO joke is that LINE. I was constantly deterred from entering this beautiful establishment due to the line. But let me tell you, if it’s optimal? If it’s ideal? TREAT YOURSELF! The staff took me on an absolutely tantalizing tasty tour of ALL their flavors to ENSURE my selection was ideal, and for the price? It was WELL worth it. My socks have been knocked off, firmly folded, pressed, and returned with an incredible selection of ice cream to go with it. This might be the BEST ice cream shop in ALL of SD.

I loved my experience here. Take the flavor tour! They'll walk you through all of their current flavors. Website says they change about every 2 weeks. They will give you a sample of each and explain what it is and what is in it. I got a cone but it was a little on the chewy/thick side for me. I think I'll get a bowl next time.

Very unique flavors. The gelato is excellent and love the sampling part. It is quite a wait though We've passed by many times to see the line wrapped around the building. The one time we did get in there was a short line just outside the front (about 8 people deep) and it was about a 40 min wait. I think it's the whole experience where they make you try all the flavors. I say if you know you like a flavor, order a pint online and pick up. We opted to get a pint for later and a medium for now. No signal was our favorite!

We did this for the experience and it is excellent but I won't do it again. We got here around 5 pm on a Sat. It took a while to find parking in the area, which is frustrating. Then, we stood in line for 45 mins before we could go in. The process is that you queue up outside. There is seating inside, so as you see people get up, you go in to join the seating queue inside. They have a menu on the blackboard outside where they list the flavors. The flavors are unique and names are themed on dry cleaning/washing/clothing elements. Some of their classic flavors stay on. For the amount of time you spend in line, you only really get to enjoy 7 flavors of gelato because that is their whole panel. This is disappointing. You can obviously get one flavor if you want or you can get a whole flavor tour. We decided on the flavor tour because it was our first time. They start you out with a palate cleanser with a ginger lemon sorbet. This was sharp, tart and is one of the flavors you can order! Our flavor menu included Plush (watermelon with mint - both flavors were very strong and at times antagonized each other even in the tasting sample), sandals (blue chamomile - mild, calming, hint of chamomile without being overwhelmingly sweet), basco cap (ricotta, pistachio, olive oil, lemon - this felt like too many ingredients and the pistachio and lemon didn't seem to gel as much as you would think), canvas (olive oil with rosemary with and without black sea salt - one of their classics, delicious with a strong hint of spice from the rosemary, the salt was an excellent touch, ask them to add extra because each server adds different quantities), vicuna wool (goat cheese, apricot, saffron, honey - felt too much, too sweet, almost like a custard than gelato), full grain leather (brown butter and brownie - this is the one for the chocolate lovers, hubby loved this but I didn't like it because of how strong the chocolate flavor was), California snapback (olive oil, pistachio, chocolate - another chocolate lovers favorite, but I'd recommend leather over this). During the flavor tour, the server takes the time to explain the flavors and I'm sure they will give more explanations if you ask. We were starving and also needed to get to another reservation, so we didn't spend as much time. You have the typical options of small, tall, medium, large and can choose 1-2 flavors. Pricing is based on the size. For the tall size, it was &7.95. You can choose a waffle cone, called "starch" which I found unique. Tall was quite heavy for me and I'd recommend going for a small size if you're not super hungry. They do overfill the cups. There are 3 ironing board shaped tables with napkin stands shaping like an iron, keeping with the dry cleaning theme, to stand and eat your ice cream. There are a couple of tables outside but the ambiance pushes you to take your gelato and leave. If you didn't want to do a flavor tour, you still have to wait in the line to order a cup. The only way you can skip the line is if you order a pint online. So overall: Pros: unique flavors, unique experience, large portions Cons: the long wait, limited flavors, needing to wait in line even if you know what you want, lack of seating, lack of parking Now that I've had the experience, I won't be back. My preferred ice cream is Salt and Straw and I'll stick to them. They've got rotating and classic flavors, flavor tours and quick service all figured out.

ALL the "hype" is TRUE!! - Congratulations... Well deserved * 1st place * National winners. Their amazing flavor concoctions is what you'd come here for. The rich, infusion of authentic pure enhancements make each selection a hard decision. The flavors are distinct and hit your palette then blend easily in your mouth with a rich creaminess without leaving a "tongue coating" finish : / . I opted for two scoops (Vicuna Wool/Sishako) it was certainly enough & very satisfying.

There was a line out the door and down the block but for good reason and a more than worthwhile wait! We started with a free tasting of every ice cream- 8 flavors and a wonderful and informative chat with the server! We got Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl which was rich and decadent and very dark chocolatey and rich with well defined flavors. Next we got Jasmine Tea/Blueberry which was UNFORGETTABLE- floral and loaded with a generous amount of fresh blueberries! Lastly we got Blue Chamomile with tea from Paru tea bar in San Diego which we already enjoy. Flavors were floral and like nothing else I’ve ever tried- so rich and true to flavor. Will I return? YES! My only regret? That I didn’t get some pints to take home! If you don’t love this place, go see a shrink.

Heard great things about An's, was prepared for a long line, but tbh it probably at most took us 10mins to get to the front of the line. Once we were there we got the flavor tour and wow was there some interesting flavors. As you probably already know their flavors are named after fabrics and stuff involved with dry cleaning. It's really clever and has very simple decor but we loved it. The ironing board tables inside are cute and there's outdoor seating if you're lucky. Hubby and I got lucky with street parking across from the gelato shop. For being a Saturday it wasn't a bad visit. Super knowledgeable staff and all really nice. Flavors that we and our friends had: Suede, CA Snapback, Sashiko, Vicuna Wool (refer to pictures for descriptions).

Love going to this place! Everything on the menu is gluten-free so that's great for me and all the other celiacs out there. Their flavors are amazing and elevated. This visit I had the full-grain leather, so good! We did wait in line for an hour so make sure you prepare for that, although a staff member came out and was giving us some samples during our wait which was very nice :)

The wifey has been wanting to come here for awhile so we finally came. Line was super long but it went by pretty fast. They gave us samples of all the flavors. Liked how they had unique flavors. Have to say this place is pretty good. Would come back again and try different flavors.

Been wanting to try An's for awhile. Then they were rated #1 ice cream spot by USA Today so I had to go. The shop is small and the line was long. It took us an hour to get through. They change their flavors every 2 weeks. They had 6 different flavors. All unique. The experience is memorable. They walk through every flavor and give a generous sample, starting with a paste cleanser. The employees were kind and helpful. You can get a maximum of two flavors no matter the size. The waffle cone was especially delicious. You can even get pints to go, which we did. The shop is small with only two people scooping. There are a few "iron board" tables. Be aware parking can be challenging. Go with patience and enjoy the unique experience.

Came here for the first time and the line was insane, BUT it did go quickly. Once you walk you, you smell the sweet waffle cone being made. I like that they: 1. Change flavors every so often 2. They give you samples of all the flavors The people behind the counter are super nice patient. The ice cream was really tasty and creamy would come like to come back and try different flavors. Thanks An's Dry Cleaning for a tasty first time.

Ideal For: BEST gelato in the country, authentic and fun experience. Our faves: all the flavors are amazing and worth the visit! Keep in mind: voted one of the best ice cream shops in the US, if its your first visit they will give you a tasting experience to sample all their flavors. The service is amazing too and the staff is friendly. The location is inspired in a dry cleaners.

QUICKIE REVIEW Nice way to help cool off on a hot day. Gelato in a dry cleaning spot. FOOD This is what I tried: Canvas (olive oil + rosemary) First time coming here and what a treat. They allow you sample all the different flavors of gelato to find which one you like best. Canvas did me in, that flavor just hits different. Recommend anyone check out this place if you are looking for a new spin on gelato. PARKING No, street parking. SERVICE Order at counter and pickup at counter. PRICE $7 for a canvas in a small cup. TIP/OTHER THOUGHTS I liked that they let you sample everything. That way you don't have any feelings about if you got the best one or not. You know exactly what it is after the tastings.

Lovely gelato place that is famous for a reason! They switch up their seasonal flavors which are all quite interesting. Service is really great and they even give you a mini tasting flight to try all the flavors! The line is long but it goes quickly!

An's Dry Cleaning is a cool concept because from the outside, you would never know that it's actually a gelato shop. It looks like it's a dry cleaning shop. Then when you walk in, you have flavors that are named after fabrics and have decor like these cute flat iron shaped tissue holders. When I first walked in, I guess it clearly looked like I was new to this place. So, the employee offered me a flavor tour - in which they basically give you a tiny spoonful of every flavor and describe it to you. They also give you an initial scoop of ginger ice cream as a palate cleanser. It was nice that they offer a taste of everything and don't limit you. Some were better than others in my opinion. I didn't love the canvas - it was a bit herby for me. I did enjoy the cypress - chocolate was very rich and deep. But this day, I was feeling more fruity than creamy. So I ended up getting a large with a mix of foulard & strawhat. It was the perfect fruity pair. Great gelato ~

What's not to love about An's? We would have never known about this local treasure without a tip from locals. An ice cream parlor in the site of an old laundry mat, they went with the vibe. A rack of clothes in plastic bags, tables shaped like ironing boards, all good fun! But the best is the ice cream and the tasting they offer. There was a short wait for our turn. We were greeted by a pleasant server who then gave us tastes and descriptions of each flavor. All were delicious! We'd definitely recommend it and be back on our next trip to the area.

So depending on when you come, the flavors are different. Today's flavors are Cypress, which is midnight chocolate, Burlap- which is vegan- and it's peanut butter, coconut, and chocolate. And then there's velour, which is caramel, salt, chocolate waffle. And leather, which is chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, and brown butter. Then there's foulard which is coconut, cream cheese, pineapple, guava, passionfruit, and graham cracker. Wow. There's canvas which is an unusual flavor of olive oil and rosemary. And finally, there is straw hat, which is vegan and it's mango and passionate. If you're not sure which one you would choose, they will give you a taste of every type if it is your first time. The prices range from $6.25 for a tiny little cup, to an extra large pint, which is $12. 95 Is it worth it. Absolutely. There's not a line out the door for no reason. It's amazing, unique place. You will miss it if you're looking for the ice cream shop sign on the outside. It simply says An's Dry Cleaning.

If you are visiting SD this is a must try! Voted #2 best ice cream in the U.S, this by far exceeding my expectations and offered a different flavor profile than any other ice cream shop I've been to. Once you go inside they offer a flavor tour to taste and try all the flavors including a palette cleanser to start the journey of the various flavors. The rosemary olive oil was by far my favorite and was the most different ice cream I had ever tasted. It was creamy and offered a light rosemary hint that wasn't too over bearing. I got the house made cone with it and it was by far the most crunchy and amazing cone I've ever had. I will have to come back here again- the line is absolutely worth it

After a fulfilling dinner at et voila next door, we satisfied our sweet tooth. The line was out the door, but it went by quickly. The decorations and naming conventions followed the dry cleaner vibe and it was a refreshing experience for an ice cream parlor. I actually ended up not even getting anything because I was so full from the sampling. My friends also threw away about half of their ice creams. I would opt to try a few I'm interested in next time, because their portions both for the sampling and serving are so big! Totally shareable

An's Dry Cleaning is one of the coolest concepts for an eating establishment that I've ever experienced! The first time I came here, I almost didn't believe it was a gelato shop and not actually a dry cleaners LOL. It's pretty much always crowded -- so just keep that in mind if you intend to visit. The gelato shop is located in North Park, meaning parking is scarce. Luckily, we've always been able to find street parking whenever we've stopped by. I highly recommend the tasting journey your first time visiting! The servers walk you through each flavor and afterwards, you then choose your gelato cup size and signature flavors. An's Dry Cleaning is always a stop along the way when I visit San Diego, so I've definitely had my fair share of flavors. They rotate out new selections practically weekly, so it's definitely hard to pick a favorite. I've gotten Cashmere (goat, cheese & honey) and the Canvas (olive oil & rosemary) flavors on more than one occasion, so those are probably my go-to's! Overall, I always enjoy the ambience and great service! I love how they make you make you feel like you're *quite literally* at a dry cleaners LOL. Whether you're stopping by for a midday treat or satisfying your sweet tooth after dinner, An's Dry Cleaning is a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike. With its unique concept and flavors, it's a spot that definitely leaves a lasting impression.

We ordered Whisper Satin (honey/lavender/roasted oats/white choco) and Kimono (jasmine/blueberry). The flavors were really unique and we got to sample a few before ordering, which was nice. I personally enjoyed Kimono more since the flavors were more defined and it wasn't too sweet. The ice cream itself wasn't quite as creamy as I would have liked, but still really good. Slightly overpriced but worth a try! I was lucky enough to come here at times when there was no wait, but be prepared for a line if you come after dinner! Seating is also kind of limited, and most of the chairs are outside.

I had heard a lot about this place - rave reviews mostly and finally tried it. True to its name, it looks just like a dry cleaners with cute ironing board tables, front counter and even outdoor seating. Luckily for us, there was no line and were offered samples which were hard to pass up! Of the three that I tried, all were tasty and distinct flavors. The ice cream combinations were unique and some that you wouldn't necessarily think would go together but do, surprisingly. Another great thing I'm happy about is that they had a vegan option (lemon almond) which I rather liked. As we were leaving there was a line of about 10 people and the space is pretty small so it got a little tight in there. I am definitely recommending this to friends and will return to try their other flavors!

Oh my goodness, top notch place here. I'm big on cookies and ice cream but usually I come at them pretty simply. Give me a gooey rich cookie and some creamy standard flavor ice creams and I'm in heaven. Pictures for this place looked so good but the flavors had me a bit scared. I figured I could get the Nutella brownie option and be safe. Luckily, the person working was super nice and let us know we should do a flight of tasters since it was our first time (free!). I don't like peach, I don't like apricot, I don't like goat milk, I don't like mango, hmm, I don't like something in each of the flavors but free is free and this is a vacation so... DELICIOUS. I mean, every flavor was creamy and super smooth, but every flavor was put together in such a balanced and delicious way that they all worked. There really wasn't one thing that jumped at me from some of the flavor combos, but everything came together as a new special single flavor. I ended up liking the Nutella one, my safe fallback, the least since it was closer to a chocolate ice cream. I got the peach/mango and the apricot/goat milk! Soooo good! Go there and be brave, try something new! Oh, the shop is small and oh so cute, with the dry cleaning theme throughout. Sounds like it used to be a dry cleaner and I absolutely loved the story being told through the decor. I hear it can get very busy but we came mid afternoon on a Wed and had no competition. Vicuna wool and Melton. Yummmmmm

Ugh! Such a cool concept for an ice cream store, the flavors are unique and amazing, and the service was great - 5 stars all around. This is a must-try if you've never heard of or tried An's Dry Cleaning before. It took me a while to make my way here, and in hindsight, I wish that I had tried it earlier. Food - Though An's Dry Cleaning offers a small menu, all of the flavors are extremely unique. For most, if not all of the flavors, that were offered at the time that I had visited, I had not seen at any other creamery. Out of the options offered, I ordered the Kimono (Jasmine + Blueberry) and the Whisper Satin (Honey, Lavender, White Choco, and Roasted Oats). While very different taste profiles, they somehow still oddly complemented each other. Also, the best perk is, that if you are unsure of what to get, you are free to sample all of the flavors offered, which leads me to my next point... Service - The service here was fantastic. I had visited with my friend on a weekend night, and the store was relatively crowded (there was a line forming out the door). Despite the busy traffic, the service was consistent and friendly, and I did not feel rushed at all while being served. Since it was both my friend's and my first time here, the employee carefully explained the entire menu to us and allowed us to sample all of the flavors (+ a palette cleanser). They also briefly told us the history of An's (+ where the Jasmine in the Kimono is sourced - it's from Paru!), which was a nice add :) Ambiance - It's a pretty small storefront, but there's seating/standing room indoors, and seating outdoors as well. If you are unfamiliar with the concept, the theme of the creamery is essentially a dry-cleaning service, as it had taken over the space of what was previously a dry-cleaner. Super cute for a casual sweet treat run or even for a date!

Definitely come here if you're in the area!!! My favorite was the Serge - it was sooooooo delicious and I was debating on getting seconds. The service was great and the workers were extremely friendly. We definitely beat the rush. I love this place!

This review is mostly for the service because it was so spectacular! The workers here are so friendly and will give you samples of every flavor they have and even a palette cleanser. They are genuinely trying to help you choose your favorite flavor and I really appreciate that as someone who loves to try multiple flavors before settling on one. The flavor selection though, I thought was just ok. None of the flavors that day blew me away but maybe I was expecting a lot from the second best ice cream shop in America? Parking was kinda hard, we couldn't find a lot and drove around for a while to find street parking. I would come back if they had new flavors!

This place came as a recommendation from a friend. The name would not make you think that this is an ice cream place, but that is exactly what it is! Inside this cute little shop, is a dry cleaning themed ice cream store. The menu had seven options, one of which was vegan. The person helping us let me sample each flavor on the menu before I came to a decision. Each cup size lets you pick two flavors. I went with the Straw Hat, which was the vegan mango and passion fruit sorbet, and the Leather, which was chocolate chip cookies and brown butter. My friend got the Lingerie, which was Strawberry, Cream and Chocolate, and the Coppola, which was Chocolate Cookies, Cream and Nutella. Straw Hat (10/10) - this was the favorite amongst everyone. Leather (7/10) - slightly too sweet for me but still really good. Lingerie (8/10) Coppola (7/10) There are some tables and benches right outside to sit and enjoy your ice cream. I would definitely recommend coming here!

Heard great things about this place, so had to try when I was in the neighborhood. It's a small ice cream parlor but looks like a laundry mat outside. Because it's so small, there's usually a really long line outside to accommodate few people inside sampling flavors. We waited for 20 minutes, and know why when we went inside. When it's your turn to enter the counter, the workers ask you if you'd like to try a tasting journey, which includes trying 7 flavors that are always rotated each week. Flavors vary from sorbets to creamy chocolate or cookie mixes. The flavors are also named after fabrics: like velour and burlap. I loved the experience and the cute laundry theme they have going on. The gelato itself is good quality and I like the variety of unique flavors this place offers. 5 stars for a great experience.

Service was absolutely stellar. This ice cream shop is super cute. It is any old dry cleaning place turned Ice cream parlor. There are vegans options and they change their menu monthly. You can try all the flavors and they will literally take you on an ice cream tasting like no other.

I really like An's Dry Cleaning for their welcoming atmosphere and their attentive service. It was my first time trying their gelato and the line was so long but it was worth the wait. The person who helped us was so kind and let us try all the flavors while explaining the main ingredients in each. I wouldn't necessarily say that their gelato is extraordinary - it was a little too cream-heavy for me -but it was still pretty good. We got lingerie (strawberry, cream, chocolate) in a short size and sashiko (matcha and pistachio) with starch which basically means it is in a cone. Something to note is that they regularly change their menu to have new flavors tailored to the season which is so cute! I also love how their gelato names are laundry themed. You can find the updated flavors on their instagram. I went during December so the flavors available were holiday-themed (see the picture below)

Tried out the famous An's Dry Cleaning ice cream shop last night. It's a small storefront on Adam's Avenue across the street from Polite Provisions. Cute ice cream shop that has kept the aesthetic of the dry cleaners that was there previous. There's a couple standing tables inside and a few tables outside. Service was great, we told them it was our first time there and we were given a run through of their whole menu and given a taster of every flavor. Flavor wise I was a bit disappointed given all the hype surrounding the place. I felt like all the flavors lacked something to make them great. I ended up getting leather which was their chocolate chip brown butter flavor. For their second smallest size available it was still about $8 with a tip which was hefty in my opinion for such a small size. Compared to Stella Jeans, I would rather go there for their abundance of flavorful options. I'm glad I tried out An's but don't think I would be back anytime soon.

The line was long but moved quickly. It was my first time and because of this you get to try all flavors. I selected had Canvas and Coppola. Both were creamy and delicious. I'm definitely coming back.

Simply the best. Everything is gluten free too. Such a blessing to have An's Dry Cleaning as a North Park staple. The service and ambiance are great! Be aware of the long lines at all hours or any day. They also have take out available.

I'm in a gelato mood (even though its cold), and I HAD to try An's Dry Cleaning since it was on my list of places to try! I loved it so much that I went TWO days in a row, and I was able to enjoy both the Christmas and the early January flavors! They change flavors every two weeks. Don't be intimidated by the line. It's worth it. I love the nods to the dry cleaning theme with the clothes hanging on a rod, the ironing board tables, and the iron napkin holder. When you arrive at the counter, you get a tasting tour, which includes a palate cleanser (I had a refreshing ginger sorbet) followed by a taste of all the gelatos! Recommendations (January menu): Burlap - My mom loved this ice cream with the coconut, PB, and chocolate. Canvas - I surprised myself because this is olive oil and Rosemary but coupled with the finishing salt, this was so good. Kinda like eating a foccacia dipped in olive oil. Try it, you may be surprised! Velour - I love caramel and this was so good! The servers were all so happy and engaging! It's clear that they enjoy what they do.

finally got around to trying An's gelato and it did NOT disappoint!! although the line was consistently long, it moved swiftly and the employees were efficient. we were able to sample all the flavors and receive detailed descriptors of each one. the store was small but had ample seating for mingling. I settled on a combination of Canvas and Leather - the olive oil + rosemary combination in Canvas is just heavenly. if you enjoy desserts that aren't too sweet, Canvas is perfect for you. as for Leather, I thoroughly enjoyed the brown butter flavor that was distributed evenly throughout the gelato. all in all, very much worth the price and a return visit!

This place has been opened for 5 years now going on 6 and it's still going strong. Can you believe it? I remember watching it being built and wondering how long a Dry Cleaning Place was going to last. But as it got closer to opening time we realized it was an ice cream shop as news go out. We could never really see the inside as the brown paper covering the windows from the inside. Interesting right? Fast forward to present times. The lines are still long and the people are loving this place. The flavors are unique and the staff are sweet and patient. No matter how many people come through the place is always clean and it's fun being inside with the ironing board table with the iron shape napkin holder. Oddly for me the gelato was just meh. I'm not sure why and I couldn't figure out why except that nothing wow me. Even plain chocolate didn't wow me. But just because it's not my thing at the moment doesn't mean they don't deserve the four stars. Flavors are there but....I don't know I can't say why yet... I really thought I was going to like the chocolate but nope or the chocolate chip one, but nope to that too or the rosemary one but that was also a no. They do have rotating flavors so that's cool in itself. I'll just have to return again and again until I can figure out what's the love all about. Still fun to go and check out the unique flavors. Enjoy.

I don't know why I waited soooo long to try this place!! Sooooo sooo good!! I have been wanting to try this place for years and just have never been close enough to try or remember this place. After my visit, it's def on my top places to go to and recommend to all my friends. I knew the story and the concept of the place, but haven't looked at the menu. This was outside of their store. They are right next to a Tajima and it's a great dessert option after a dinner, in my opinion! Anyways! I took a look at this menu and let me tell you, I definitely judged the book by its cover. Usually I don't like gluten free anything and that includes ice cream AND especially cones. But! I am always down to try new things and exploring everywhere I go even in my own city. I wish I got the name of the girl who greeted us. We were looking at the menu and she said, please come over! Try some flavors! And my friend and I agreed. We tried some flavors. And I picked the one so was interested in. Which was a mistake LOL because the girl said, I can let you sample everything. And I DECLINED. Why did I decline?? I have zero idea. My biggest regret. My friend took her up on her offer and tried everything. Super interesting flavors. I wish I got to try the olive oil and rosemary. I ended up with Cotton! Very very good! And I got mine in a cone! And I was ready for a disappointed cone because remember, gluten free everything! Not only did I end up loving the ice cream, I LOVE the cone!! It was crunchy like a regular cone. Held the ice cream very well. And the cone had interesting flavors. If I had to guess, nutmeg and cinnamon were part of the ingredients. AMAZING Service + GF ice cream = HAPPY ME Def will be returning. And if you've been on the fence, this is your sign. GO!!!

Came here for an after dinner dessert! We did see the sign about "do not block the door," but we didn't know there was a line to the left of the establishment. I haven't been to this location in a long time...this was something new. After two couples came in behind us, one of them mentioned that we cut the line outside. We apologized and went outside but there was no one out there after those 2 couples. We stood out there for several moments before walking back in and getting behind the tall man and lady. It was a little awkward and I think we got some stares. But after a bit of time standing in line everyone became focused on the menu and what flavors they wanted to try. An's Gelato offers a tasting journey with palette cleanser. I think that was really lovely to offer even though they were really busy. We didn't feel rushed to choose and the worker was really kind! I liked his vibe. We tried and ordered (has * by what we ordered): - Kimono, Blueberry & Jasmine Tea: This flavor was light and refreshing. - *Clay, Nutella & Brownie: Nutella was smooth and I had a chunk of the brownie which wasn't the best textural brownie I've had. I think a smooth Nutella with brownie crumbles would be even better than big chunks. - *Visor, Roasted Pistachio: The first time I had this was at their Del Mar location and I liked it because it was a smooth but lightly salted pistachio flavor. At this location, I learned that they added crushed pistachios and fold it into the gelato. It's still good but sometimes can be texturally overwhelming with the bits and pieces. To compare, it's like when you bake with cashews-- they get a bit soft and lowkey rubbery. They lose that crunch of theirs and it's not AS tasty. Maybe this batch just had one too many crushed pistachios. - *Whisper Satin, Lavender, White Chocolate, & Oats: This one was really tasty. It reminded me of the Lavender + White Chocolate Scones from Santa Cruz. The lavender was very subtle and not overwhelming at all and the white chocolate added a perfect sweetness to the gelato. The addition of oats provided a balance to everything. - *Melton, Peach & Mango: Very refreshing flavor. Both flavors are pronounced and so delicious. The peach tasted juicy and fresh and with the hint of mango...so good!

Food: 4.5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5 What a neat place! I've had this bookmarked for quite some time but didn't really know what to expect. We came on a weekday evening and there was a steady stream of customers but no long line. Score! When we got to the counter, we didn't realize it was going to be an ice cream tasting so that was a pleasant surprise. I'm glad they have that as the ice cream combinations can seem out-of-this-world (in a really neat way). We ordered the pistachio and macadamia nut and omg yummmm. We also ordered the vicuña wool (goat cheese, apricot, saffron) which we enjoyed but didn't love. The ice cream here is smooth, velvety and absolutely delish. We paired it with a waffle cone and we definitely satisfied our sweet craving! Service was excellent and the lady helping us was so friendly, patient and kind. Ambiance is really neat as it does seem like you're in a dry cleaning spot. Loved it and look forward to returning for their pistachio and macadamia ice cream but also check out their other combinations!

This quaint looking immaculately clean ice cream shop ironed out my doubts about handmade ice cream in a refurbished cleaners. Each flavor was perfectly blended and creamy. Sorry to admit this but even the vegan ones! The staff person was inviting and knowledgeable. She explained everything and even allowed us to have a tiny taste of any flavor we wanted on a real silverware spoon. I got pistachio and it was super delicious. Go now, thank me later.

Love that you get to try all the flavors before you choose the ones you want. They spend a lot of time with each customer so the line got pretty long. Going in a Friday evening after dinner, the line was about 30 minutes long. Flavors were all delicious. Super unique flavors compared to the other places. Cones are fresh and warm. Our cones were piled so high! Two tables indoor that you will have to stand at. Small tables and chairs outside. Neighborhood parking is just about non-existent. Neighborhood also has broken glass on the side like cars have been broken into.

Speakeasy is no longer for cocktails. Ice cream has come into the picture and I'm here for it. The flavors change monthly. The employees are so nice they allow you to sample each flavor. They have dairy free options. You can get it on a cone, cup, or even pints to go. I love coming to north park to eat and then stopping here for a lil dessert.

An's is such a unique experience from their interesting and ever changing flavors of gelato to the flavor tour offered by their employees! Speaking of employees, they were so enthusiastic even though they give the same spiel to everyone - I was impressed with the energy!

This concept ATE!!!! Definitely come here if you are from out of town!! The business was started by four best friends who bought out a dry cleaner and then kept the name and everything going and i LOVE me a unique background to the interior decor and it really just-- it's an experience for sure. I brought a friend from out of San Diego here and she loved it! The people who work there are so ecstatic (they have so much patience shdhshd because I would not be able to do the same) and we got to try the free gelato tasting where you get to try a taste of each of the flavors. This was so helpful because it literally changed my original decision of which flavor I was going to get (which mind you are ALSO named after types of fabric how CUTE). My friend and I both got Canvas and I got the chocolate one on top of it and she got the Cotton with hers as well. Very creamy, very soft, and very flavorful. It was also filling as I almost couldn't finish my entire thing.

What a cute concept! The interior was like a typical dry cleaner with a touch of creativity. I really enjoyed the moody tone interior and long neon light bulbs, it gave such a retro atmosphere. I truly enjoy the restaurant with its unique concept and that's why I just had to check it out. There are standing tables and outdoor seating for dine-in customers. Now, let's talk about ice cream. We ordered a Lingerie, which was strawberry, cream, and chocolate. So I thought it would be strawberry and chocolate ice cream, but it's actually just strawberry ice cream with chocolate pieces, even better! The ice cream was refreshing and creamy smooth with a hint of sweetness. The bitterness of the chocolate helped balance the overall flavor. It complimented each other really well. A good flavor doesn't have to be complicated. I also loved the consistency. It was chewy but melted at first touch. The service was excellent. It almost felt like they encouraged you to try every flavor. I liked that the staff took their time with every single customer. We didn't feel rushed, and it felt like we had time to think about what we really wanted to order. The parking can be tricky, but there's street parking and public pay lots nearby.

This is a cute gelato shop! The "dry cleaning" idea is a bittttt cheugy, but you have to love it :P The employees here are great, and since it was our first time, they took us on a trip to flavortown and gave us samples of all the flavors, which was super nice. They all tasted delicious. Definitely would recommend checking this place out!

Too much sugar in this conconction of milk. The heavyness of the sugar you can taste not much else. The flavors of the fruit are none existance. If you take a frappuccino and made it ice cream this is what you get. Alot of sugar! Nutrition not listed at all. Insulin levels will sure spike.

I've had this place bookmarked for the longest time, and I'm so glad we were finally able to give this place a try! Since it was our first time they encouraged us to sample all of the flavors, which I thought was really sweet ;)! We ended up choosing kimono (jasmine+blueberry) and visor (pistachio). Out of the two, kimono was my fave. The jasmine flavor really complimented the blueberry, and the blueberries added some freshness to the gelato. I honestly think their waffle cone outrivals other big ice cream spots in SD. I love it bc it's a perfect crispy texture and it's not too sweet.

I have been wanting to try the gelato here. After dinner nearby we stopped in for dessert. It is a cute little shop and for a weeknight at 9:00 they were busy but the line wasn't long. They were great about offering samples of the six flavors. I opted for the midnight chocolate and the fig vanilla in one of the tastiest cone I have ever eaten. I tasted but wasn't a fan of the blue chamomile. I did like the saffron honeycomb chocolate. It has a great gelato texture which so many gelato shops don't have. I hear there's a new one open near me called An's Hatmakers. Going to have to give it a try soon.

I love that they offer a free tasting flight because I never know which flavor I want. I ended up getting the kimono (blueberry jasmine) and visor (roasted pistachio) gelato. My friend got the cinco de mayo Citrus Marg Sorbet special flavor. Tasted exactly like a marg. I wish this was served all year and their Petco Park location. All flavors are so good for whatever you're craving you can't go wrong.

I was looking forward to trying An's Dry Cleaning as the concept of a dry cleaning inspired ice cream shop seemed so unique and interesting to me. Upon entering, I definitely felt like I was at an old school dry cleaners. There were freshly pressed clothes hanging near the register, tables made to look like antique ironing boards, and even the names of the ice cream flavors were drawn from different type of fabrics - definitely a cute concept. Service was wonderful - the person at the counter was very friendly and offered to give us a sampling of all the flavors as it was our first time visiting. I enjoyed most of the flavors, but ultimately decided to get a "Tall" ($6.90) which is their version of medium size of their Sbai (Thai Tea) and the Burlap (Peanut Butter, Coconut, Chocolate). The texture was akin to gelato, and I liked how the flavors were on the bolder side where you got a decent intensity of thai tea flavor, as well as good chunks of chocolate pieces and peanut butter flavor for the Burlap. The flavors rotate often, but I do wish there was more variety as there were only 7 flavors offered. Parking can be a challenge as there's only street parking out front. However, we were able to find a small lot with paid parking spots a couple blocks away.

Amazing from the time we got in line to the last bite. We were provided water in line by sweet employees, the owner talked with us and everyone in line. He is so kind and genuine! The young man who took us on the flavor tour was sweet as can be and provided great tasting notes. My husband and I thought the flavors were all fantastic and enjoyed getting two flavors in one cup each so we could continue to debate which one was the best. (For the record we thought olive oil and rosemary with the black tasting salt was incredible.) We will definitely be back and recommending to friends and family.

Came on a Thrusday night and the line was long but well worth the wait. The workers were especially so kind and hospitable. Special shouout to Connor cus he gave my cousin and I a flavor tour and we got to try all the flavors. He was so thorough and kind with his explanations. Somebody please give him a raise! 10/10 recommend the service and the flavors were so good!

Absolutely love the dry cleaning concept paired with the experimental and flavorful ice cream! The interior has such cute decor fitting for a dry cleaner's, so it's really fun plus the flavors themselves are all related to different materials of clothing in alignment with the theme^^ Service was super nice and offered my friends and I a "flavor tour" where we sampled all the ice creams, and we all discovered our different tastes in ice cream - my personal favorites were Foulard, Canvas, and Straw Hat! Also, as a gluten-free girly it's so exciting that all their flavors and cones are GF!! An's is a decadent delight in SD :))

Okay! Don't let the name fool you! If you do, you will be missing out! One of the best ice cream places hidden with a unique naming system associated with materials, you must know what you are getting! Leather is brown butter chocolate chip, Sashiko (vegan) is matcha and pistachio, and Christmas Onesie is chai tea, caramel, and cinnamon cookie just to make a few! They do seasonal flavors which will keep you coming back for more with each visit! Oh did I mention An's is named 2nd Best Ice Cream Shop in America!!! There is a sister location to check out as well known as An's Hat Shop. I will leave that place for you to find! Now go and tasted delightfulness!

Its good, but I really dont see the hype. Every time im going home I see the LINE of people. Honestly not worth the wait. Id highly recommend stella jeans and mariposa!

Tried An's Dry Cleaning for the first time after hearing about it for so long! The gelato was impeccable. First, when we walked in we got to do a sample tour and try all the flavors! The service was really nice and the employees were super welcoming! I loved all the flavors when I tried them so it was hard for me to decide which one to go for but I ended up going with Merino. I've never tried a flavor that combined toffee, saffron, and chocolate all in one but this unique flavor was amazing! I've already started recommending this place to others since I've tried it. Will definitely be coming back once they rotate the flavors! Can't wait :)

SO GOOD! We wanted to try a San Diego only spot for dessert and stopped by here. The flavors were so creative. The staff here is so welcoming and invites everyone to do a flavor tour which is essentially just sampling every flavor. We had a hard time picking just two flavors! I ended up getting the Barkcloth and the Whisper Satin flavors but I almost got Kimono. The interior is so cute since the tables look like ironing boards and the napkin holders are like irons. Definitely will return for the next circulation of flavors when I'm next in SD!
