Best Ice Cream in Marin County

The Palace Market in Point Reyes station has Buffalo Milk gelato made with milk from local Buffalo at the back counter.

The Marshall Store on Tomales Bay is a primo spot for a bayside oyster feast. And a primo spot for some bayside Buffalo Milk soft serve!

Mill Valley Swirl located close to Mill Valley inn has some very fine homemade ice cream cookie sandwiches.

Lappert’s Ice Cream has two locations on the main street of Sausalito, both serving up some radical Hawaiian-influenced flavors.

Fairfax Scoop is a local’s favorite offering unique seasonal flavors on the main street of Fairfax. Cash only for these cones.

Double Rainbow on the 4th Street in San Rafael is open late for their shakes, freezes, floats, smoothies and cones.

Celine’s Sweets is a nostalgic candy store on Novato’s main street with 16 flavors of local ice cream.

Bliss Asian Ice Cream Shop is a Japanese-style ice cream and mochi shop and we are here for it! It’s off the beaten track in Novato and worth the trip for taro, red-bean gelato, mango mochi, and more! It’s all presented beautifully so have your camera ready.

La Michoacana is serving up 30 flavors of Mexican-style ice cream, paletas, frozen yogurt and more on the main street of Novato

Amy’s Wicked Slush in Old Town Novato has “slush” and wicked soft serve (that’s what you’re seeing at the top of this post). And a combo of both!
