Toy Boat by Jane

"Toy Boat by Jane is the revived version of Clement Street’s longrunning classic ice cream shop, courtesy of Amanda Michael, the owner of mini-chain Jane the Bakery. Michael went to great lengths to preserve the nostalgia of Toy Boat, including the vast toy collection, and opened in September 2020 selling Jane’s bakery breads, cookies, and pastries, and, excitingly, adding Double Rainbow Ice Cream alongside flavors from Mitchell’s and Hometown Creamery." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri

"There are few more eclectic and quirky ice cream and dessert shops in San Francisco than this Inner Richmond delight. Jane the Baker provides cookies and croissants, while Double Rainbow, Mitchell’s Ice Cream, and Hometown Creamery are all ice cream options. Respect to Joe’s Ice Cream on Geary Boulevard, by the way, but something about the parade of action figures and tchotchke make Toy Boat a new classic in the neighborhood." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff

"There aren’t many ice cream shops in town where you can ride a coin-operated pony. Enter: Toy Boat by Jane. This Clement St. mainstay has been around for decades, and now, they’re owned by Jane the Bakery, which mostly just means you can also buy bread here. They serve ice cream by Double Rainbow, Mitchell’s, and SF’s Hometown Creamery, all of which get majorly dressed up with creative sundae combinations—think marshmallow fluff and graham crackers, or meringue pieces with strawberry and whipped cream.  " - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez

"The 38-year-old ice cream institution Toy Boat Dessert Cafe permanently closed. Amanda Michael, the owner of SF mini-chain Jane The Bakery, launched an effort to purchase the spot, and it was apparently successful: according to its website, Toy Boat by Jane will open on September 17 with Jane the Bakery breads, cookies, and pastries, salads and sandwiches, and Double Rainbow Ice Cream." - Eve Batey
