Ice cream, candy, sandwiches, hot dogs, and old-timey vibes
"This snug, cash-only ice cream shop in the Fillmore has been around since the early '90s and is covered from floor to ceiling with colorful candy jars and ice cream flavor lists. They serve locally made ice cream from Mitchell’s and Dreyer’s, and have over 100 flavors—everything from ube (our go-to) to cookie dough to Mexican chocolate. They don’t skimp on the scoops." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Few Black-owned businesses in the Fillmore District have lasted as long as Miyako. Since the early 90s the shop has sold a cornucopia of goodies — ice cream, yes, but also sandwiches and armfuls of candy. Head here for vintage vibes and locally-made scoops from Mitchell’s and Dreyer’s, or be a smartie and throw your order in as a banana split. Cash only." - Paolo Bicchieri
"This snug, cash-only ice cream shop in the Fillmore is covered from floor to ceiling with an overwhelmingly long list of flavors and colorful candy jars. They’ve been brain-freezing the neighborhood since the early ’90s, with mountainous scoops of locally made ice cream from Mitchell’s and Dreyer’s. Save yourself the time and eye strain and go for the ube, cookie dough, or Mexican chocolate. If you’re in the mood for even creamier frozen dairy in the area, we also love the gelato at Philmore Creamery." - julia chen 1, patrick wong

"You’ll have to cross multiple lanes of Geary Blvd. traffic to get to the nearest ATM, but it’s worth watching the crosswalk sign count down to get a massive scoop at Miyako Old Fashion Ice Cream. The dessert spot in the Fillmore has been brain-freezing the neighborhood for decades, well before the concept of Apple Pay. Get anything off the long list of Dreyer’s and Mitchell’s flavors, and know that a cookie topping is required." - julia chen 1
