The Yard Milkshake Bar

Very great place to go with friends and share a sundae or milkshake! Great selection of ice creams, fun shakes, and even edible cookie dough! They even offer cashew milk ice cream for those who need vegan options.

Walked in during the soft opening, and was blown away by the ambience. Owners were on deck and super friendly along with the whole staff. Huge amount of options from single scoop ice cream, to cookie dough, sundaes, and their specialty shakes. Ended up going with their Berkeley special, the Mango Sassy Lassi, and tasted authentic with hints of cardamom and a nice touch of salted pistachio on the edges. Lots of space to sit and hang out with friends, and store had a nice rustic look to it. Shake had Blue Bell ice cream which was rich and not too heavy and got to even keep the mason jar at the end after using their jar wash station. Will definitely be back to try their other flavors, and bring family and friends when they are in town to experience their shakes!

Amazing place! The specialty bowls and shakes are fabulous. Tasty and generous portions. The staff is really friendly and seems to be having fun. We went on a Wednesday night and the manager helped us with our order-really helpful and friendly!

Ice cream was beautiful and very delicious. The Yard has so many fun and creative options of what sweets to try here. Very delicious and me and my friend are definitely coming back! 🍦 Excellent service and kind staff as well :)

TL;DR Rude staff, horrible business model, insane prices. Do not come here expectating the happy-go-lucky ice cream experience with friends or on a date. I paid 20 dollars for a medium single flavor milkshake. With barely any toppings. I came here with my girlfriend for a night on the town and immediately upon entering we were barked at by an extremely angry staff member to order using the singular soulless kiosk to order ice cream at the other end of the room. We paid the same price for a full tank of gas for a very disappointing milkshake with literally two toppings while we felt anxiously crowded by the 50 people in line behind us waiting to order on the machine instead of with a staff member. The bar seemingly offered no samples which is ridiculous considering they have a wide arrangement of ice cream flavors. Making it very difficult to even decide on anything. It was all around just a terrible ice cream parlor experience. Zero friendly communication with the staff, zero nice date night vibes, terrible terrible TERRIBLE ice cream to price ratio. I think if you are a young college student from another country you would think this is fine and normal, but as it stands - an absolute dumpster fire of an ice cream place. Instead try: Cream, Little Gem Belgian Waffles, Insomnia Cookies

Had their cookie dough milkshake - it was absolutely incredible!! Thick, creamy and flavors were spot on! They have great vegan options as well!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Great flavors, different combinations, and nice customer service! Best ice cream and cookie dough I have ever had!

Super overpriced. The staff are nice- and I will say that they didn’t recommend the shake I got, but I got it anyway 😭. It was 23 dollars for a massive sundae thing. I doubt it’ll stay open once everyone’s tried it.
