Lots of traditional & inventive flavors served at this veteran ice cream parlor with a playful vibe.
"When choosing your flavor of frozen dessert feels as insurmountable as surfing OB without a wetsuit, Polly Ann in the Outer Sunset is here for you. Just spin their big wheel of ice cream flavors (it also includes a chance at a free scoop), which covers classics like vanilla and strawberry along with great Asian flavors like green tea, Burmese milk tea, and durian. If you’d rather not leave things to chance, the black sesame has never let us down. photo credit: The Infatuation" - Julia Chen
"This old-fashioned ice cream shop is infamous for its wheel of fortune, which employees spin for customers who can’t make a decision between the spot’s huge number of flavors. Those who prefer not to shiver in the Sunset fog as they wait in line can place an online order." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Have flavor fatigue? Leave your fate in the hands of Polly Ann, where you can spin the wheel and let it decide which of the more than 500 rotating flavors you’ll be trying today. (The wheel is a long-running staple of the shop. Polly Ann has been open since the 1950s, with Asian flavors like durian, lychee, and jasmine on display, as well as classics like Rocky Road and mint chocolate chip." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
"The flavors at this Outer Sunset ice cream spot range from Turkish coffee to pineapple hibiscus sorbet. But if you want your frozen dessert in swirled form (always encouraged), grab a cup or cone of vanilla. The texture of their soft serve is on the icier side and isn’t as thick as most other soft serve in the city, but it’s incredible nonetheless." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
