"The seasonal pumpkin spice ice cream at Smitten is just like all the other flavors—smooth and thick enough to use as hair gel. A scoop or two of the stuff is great, but the pumpkin spice sundae is why you should make a special stop at this Mission scoop shop. A generous drizzle of caramel sauce, spiced pepitas for a little saltiness, and a dollop of whipped cream complete the dessert. Break off the edges of the waffle cone bowl to use as edible spoons. If you can swing it, grab a seat on their parklet. " - ricky rodriguez, patrick wong, julia chen 1

"At Smitten, they use liquid nitrogen to churn your ice cream to order—and the result is phenomenal, ultra-smooth ice cream. The cookie dough with pretzels and chocolate chips is our default order, and you can get your scoop topped with everything from chocolate syrup to cookie dough chunks. Make sure to ask about what seasonal flavors they have on rotation like their spicy honey and lavender earl grey with quinoa." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez

I tried the brookies & cream flavor, which was good, but not better than other ice creams I’ve had in San Francisco. The waffle cone was solid, and the service was good, with a pleasant atmosphere. The place had quite a few customers, which caught my attention, but I wouldn’t go out of my way just to visit. Overall, it’s a decent spot if you’re nearby, but not my top choice for ice cream in the city.

It's such a cute little place and came highly recommended by the locals, so of course it was a must try for us. And wow, the ice cream is made in the house, and it's so creamy, it's light, and it's fluffy, as if it's been whipped. I love the flavor and the texture of their ice cream, and they offer lots of different varieties of flavors. Make sure to try this out when you're in San Francisco.

Such a cute little ice cream shop with kind service! I came in here feeling ill because of the weather outside, and came into Smittens to sit down and order ice cream. It was the perfect fix, and so yummy! I like the very original flavors and you will smell them making the waffle cones a mile away! A great stop to make while in the area.

The Smitten nitrogen ice cream experience was the best dessert on our vacation to San Francisco. California has genius, ingenuity, creativity, the taste of California can be found with the discovery of flawless ice cream at Smitten. The experience is wonderful. Delicious.

Smitten Ice Cream is a cute little place where you get to watch your ice cream being made right in front of you! Their vanilla flavor is especially delicious and waffle cones are exceptional - they smell amazing and taste even better! It’s a fun spot with great ice cream!

It's good Ice Cream, it's just not great ice cream imo. The Waffle Cone was great though.

Still my top 1 place after so many years, it may not have as fancy or exotic flavors as some other ice cream parlors out there, but the texture - the creaminess, the fluffiness, totally a different level! It always has and will have a special place in my heart.
