Icebee

I just got off the phone w/​Icebee & am so distraught to hear that they are permanently closing effective tonight! :’-(She said they just found out 2 days ago, but were clearing things out right now. My guilty pleasure that one of my best friends turned me onto like 10 years ago is no more… *sob* Now what am I supposed to do? (Other than fit better into my jeans?!) lol

The staff are really friendly and helpful. They have a few tables and counter seats, and sofa.
The original tart & pomegranate yogurt are recommended:)!

Icebee recently catered our wedding.
Good:
Yogurt was very good, huge hit at our wedding. Great value for catering a wedding, about 500 dollars for 3 hours. A lot of other places we called would not cater or didn’t seem interested in doing so. The yogurt is pretty good as well as the toppings. (please bear in mind, I weigh taste of yogurt and cost more than some other things)
Bad:
My only gripe was that the machine could not keep up with the guests using it. Which meant that the yogurt would not have the proper texture for some folks who were late to getting to the machine. However within 20 – 30 mins, it was able to get back to a proper state of producing yogurt. Not sure if there was really anything they could do about it considering the rate that people were getting yogurt.
In addition, communication with Janice was spotty at best. Long response times of several weeks would pass without hearing back from her. Fortunately for us, our coordinator took over my duties of communicating with her in the month leading up the wedding. And everything turned out fine, so if you’re used to people getting back to you promptly, then it may annoy you.

Icebee is the filthiest froyo joint I have ever been in. So much so that I started to wonder if I should even eat the yogurt. It tasted fine, but the place is gross. Take a look at the edges of the floors, especially right up along the counter.
Only half the machines were running, leaving very little flavor options.
Small selection of toppings.
The ran out of cups for water (yeah, at a frozen yogurt shop, no water).
This is probably the most poorly managed business I have encountered in San Francisco.
Oh, it’s filthy.

After a decent burger at Mel’s drive-​in… My girl and I stopped at Icebee’s Very good frozen yogurt and its self-​serve.

Clean establishment
Good Variety of flavors that are true to their name
Solid selection of toppings
Refreshing froyo, not too sweet/​tangy
Overall Thoughts
A great place to stop off for dessert

Oh my goodness, I love this place!!! My family and I had stopped in on a slow Monday afternoon. It was the perfect timing because we had the whole place to ourselves! We were able to enjoy our froyo in peace! It was awesome!
They have a variety of yogurt flavors and tons of toppings to pick from! They even have chocolate covered marshmallows, OH MY GOSH!!! Who has that? It was amazing!!! I will definitely be back!

Place was clean with a decent selection of self serve yogurt and toppings. Guy was not friendly but it was good.

Decent frozen yogurt with a nice selection of flavors. I sampled the Vanilla, Peanut Butter, Cheesecake, Blueberry, and Strawberry flavors and was all-​around impressed with the texture and taste.
As expected of things in San Francisco, you’ll pay for more than you get, but if you check in on Unilocal,you can get a 10% discount off your entire order!

I am passionate in moments for Yogurtland (currently their passion fruit sorbet.)
After shopping at the nearby Target yesterday, I was craving Froyo. and Icebee’s Logo caught my eye! The logo only. because first couple seconds of actually walking inside the store. I was already not impressed.
Even though I really only ever like the original tarts… many of their other flavors were out. The original tart’s «Mix was low» so it came out super slow. and icy. not worth it. Nothing was crazy special for their toppings either. just the regular old.
Overall unimpressed. Not super clean, not super friendly, not super cool, not super yummy… but cool logo/​name!

I always need to stop here after a visit to Target in the next block .I love frozen yogurt and it tastes better when
I serve it myself! I especially like the caramel popcorn flavor I’ve never seen anywhere else.

It seems lately that my son wants to give everyone 5 stars. I think he has his first cashier crush actually. We went here on Friday for lunch (which resulted in a trip to the hot dog cart to split a hot link, my son’s 5 star review pending).
Icebee is never busy, which is a plus as well as a sign that they aren’t keeping up with their duties. I’m glad I didn’t see the 78 score mentioned in another review.
The non-​fat Cheesecake would barely come out of the machine. I don’t know if that’s a temperature thing or a mechanical failure, but it was less than what I expect from my previous lifetime experience with FroYo.
Everything else seemed to be in order, the service was great when we wanted Whipped Cream for my son, when we needed a couple of glasses of water, when we were leaving and got a big warm smile and a have a great day. I was totally happy about the experience as was my son. My review would be 3 – 4 stars though. Woohoo for pretty faces and young boy’s hearts.

Oh god, how the mighty have fallen.
I walked my preggo @$$ into Icebee last week after giving in to a really strong craving. Dr. Google will tell you that soft-​serve froyo is a no-​no while preggers, due to the risk of listeriosis (if, say, the machines aren’t kept clean). I’ve started to loosen up on this advice, given the rarity of listeriosis in this country.
Well, imagine my surprise when I started digging in and I turned around and saw a 78 on their health inspection score. Dag nabbit, people! Clean up your store! I’ve NEVER seen a health inspection score that low.
This is a little unfair, but since my review for Icebee 5 years ago (woah), I’ve been to Menchie’s in SoCal probably a million times. Now THAT is froyo. I found my cup of Icebee’s last week to be more tart than I remember /​find acceptable, and I’m unsure as to how often Icebee employees clean their machines; when my husband poured peanut butter froyo into his cup, it came out a milky, watery mess.

Went here a few weeks back, when I was doing some work in SF. Regular tart has a bit of an aftertaste, like Greek yogurt, however, the texture was too soft & watery. Pomegranate sorbet was better. They had a good selection of toppings: gummi bears, mini mochi, fruit including kiwi, strawberries.
Price is higher than expected, but probably average for this area. Not as good as Yogurtland or Pinkberry.

Yomp!

We happened to be nearby, and my boyfriend was craving ice cream (because he’s ALWAYS craving ice cream) — so we stopped in. This place is fine… the interior is not all that welcoming, its kind of cold and stark in there. One of the fro-​yo machines was broken and leaking, and the toppings were picked over a bit.
The flavors we did have were good but standard. This place will satisfy your fro-​yo craving but it’s not anything special, especially at the price you’ll pay. Unfortunately this strikes me more as a tourist trap for visitors from out of town who don’t know any better.

My friend craved for froyo on a cold, windy day in SF so we decided to go here after working out! –_​_​–
They offer those mini sample cups for you to try the different flavors they offer! It’s 45 cents per ounce! I love their coconut tart flavor with a mix of their original tart flavor! Top it off with slices of strawberries, chewy mochi and bits of pistachios, then the taste is refreshing!
They do offer other flavors, such as blueberry, chocolate and etc., but their coconut stood out the most to me! Good amount of selections for their toppings as well — fruits, nuts and sprinkles of sugary goodness!
Good service and adequate seating area!

Froyo is now a commodity item, and you either like the generic stuff or not.
Despite all our attempts to be enthused by their offerings, we walked out after sampling every one. Either the consistency or the flavor (or aftertaste) turned us away.
Icebee is in a convenient location. I’m sure we’ll try again, and update this review, if anything changes. Don’t be holding your breath.

Decent froyo in a multitude of flavours. Of the 12 I tried 6 with no added toppings.
Interesting and probably totally artificial flavours like cookies and cream and red velvet but lets just try forget about that and just enjoy.

Compared to most Frozen Yogurt places, this was the dirtiest location I’ve seen. It’s heavily traffic’d and it shows. Aren’t the workers supposed to keep the floors and counters clean? Plus the toppings bar was a mess and not fully stocked.
However, that didn’t stop me. I have a frozen yogurt issue and needed my fix. I tried the green apple tart, which was not for me. The banana, which was really bad banana flavoring. The cookies n’ cream which had a funky after taste. I settled on a pistachio vanilla twist and then hit up a few toppings.
The cashier was disengaged and rude (and obviously slacking on the cleaning responsibilities). But the real kicker for me was I really needed to use the ladies room and they don’t have public restrooms.
They really went down hill in my opinion since I was last here.
