San Francisco Ice Company

Not only are they reasonably priced, but they were able to do an «emergency drop» for us of 300 lbs in an hour and a half! Very friendly staff, definitely using them again!

These guys are awesome — great service, and always trying to help out local businesses. Their prices are the best as well!

I met Brian, super nice and know what he is doing
love his work and professionalism.

I can only echo what everyone else has said. I called Praxxair because they were closer and was told my dry ice would last three days unless I put it into an expensive insulated carrier.
Well, I was headed to a one week camping trip I needed the dry ice to stay cold.
I was turned off by Praxxair, so I called these guys. Like night and day. Super helpful, told me how dry ice works and directed me to their web site to read the three cooler method. One holds the dry ice and is opened only one a day or even every other day.
Take a block out of the dry ice cooler and put it in my «freezer» cooler. One block is enough to keep ice cream rock hard in 100 degree temps.
Freeze a bottle or two of the water, and use the bottle of frozen water in my refrigerator cooler. When the water melts, drink it. He told me that using this system with about 45 pounds of dry ice should keep everything frozen or cool for a week.
he told me that hot weather doesn’t melt dry ice. It is contact with Oxygen, so keep the dry ice cooler filled with towels to remove the air.
They even cut and wrap the dry ice like an old fashioned butcher shop.
Highly recommended. These guys know ice and don’t talk down to those of us who are occasional users.
I felt my $ 45 order was valued. They patiently answered all my newbie dumb questions.

Let me pile a few more 5-​star ice chunks in the SF Ice Company cooler…
I needed 2.2 kilograms of dry ice and an insulated box to take back some refrigerated material with me to London from San Francisco. I emailed and received a response quickly, though they did not deliver for such a small order ($ 17).
SO luckily Postmates + SF Ice Company was the winning combination, as I didn’t have time to trek over to their location and pick it up myself. Voila, ice cold all the way back to London Heathrow. Easy peasy, everything’s freezy.
*protip — check the specific airline when traveling with dry ice. I was flying BA and did my research beforehand, which is crucial as dry ice can be considered a hazardous material. Just do the quick bit of homework to make sure you’re ice is in a row.

I have never wanted to marry someone over the phone as immediately as I did when I called these guys. When I placed a second call and got someone else, I wanted to marry him too because he didn’t seem to mind at all that I had ridiculous ice questions. Incredibly friendly, honest, and irresistible phone manner. All things I enjoy in an ice vendor. Oh, and great prices as well as fantastic ice.
If you want spectacular customer service that leaves you wanting to host another party just so you can call up again, these are your go-​to people. Seriously.

We used SF ice for our wedding as a recommendation from a friend who had used them for her wedding and we were very pleased. I sent a picture to Brian of what wanted and he delivered. On my wedding day things ran smoothly and the ice luge was a HUGE hit with our guests. 5 star customer service and pleasure to work with. Thank you.

Nice guys, great service. I got the standard ice luge for a holiday party. Delivered on time, looked great and was a huge hit.

Wonderful people helped my project significantly!

They are super friendly guys and always attentive. They get you out of there quickly and with no hassle at all.

Cool people. Awesome ice sculptures. We’ve used them for 3 parties and the luges are always the highlight of the party.
Me likey

No place is better than this for Party Ice and dry ice.
The prices are great.
The staff is extremely helpful
I go here for all my ice needs for every party I have. I’ve turned several of my friends onto this place as well.
It’s out of the way, and not the BEST neighborhood, but DON“T let that stop you from buying your ice at this place.
Been using them for many years — even when they were in the showplace district.

The SF Co is GREAT! The prices are prefect. I have been researching to get an Ice Luge for NYE and have been calling several places and they were all super expensive, is like common people I don’t want to spend $ 250 for a SIMPLE block of ice! are you kidding me. So I called SF Co and this was my last call. The price was within my budget and exactly what I was looking for. Simple, affordable, and ready for NYE.
Thank you SF Company! ;)

I decided that I wanted to go ice blocking for my birthday and stumbled across SF Ice. I called in for advice on their services and what types of ice they provide and the cost. Paul gave me helpful advice on what to use.
I also sent in an email to ask about keeping my car from getting wet and they let me know their 25lb blocks are kept in bags, so I didn’t have to worry about it.
When I arrived at the warehouse, the guys (including Paul) were super friendly! They were helpful moving the ice into the car and seemed like all-​around great people. The ice is well priced. Oh, and the ice sculptures are amazing!
Will definitely return for any of my icy needs in the future!

Needed dry ice to keep baby food frozen for a long flight… found the SF Ice Company and was extremely happy with the cheerful efficient service I received. They were pleasant and informative on the phone, and carried my dry ice package to the car for me after my purchase… and it wasn’t even heavy!
Everyone working at the warehouse seemed pretty young (save one), and I thought it was «cool» to find such nice hardworking guys.
Very impressed.

I have been using San Francisco Ice for 8 years now! I own a frozen food company and send out shipments for
every week which require dry ice from SF Ice!
I have gotten the royal treatment from Brian and his crew! They customize my orders, they deliver dry ice to me when needed, and they have made the payment process so easy by setting me up with a credit account!
Brian even surprised me with a wedding gift of one of his amazing ice carvings a few years ago! It was a carving of the Golden Gate Bridge with our initials carved into a heart! I was so touched by his gift!
I highly recommend these guys, they are pro !

From asking for a date to standing at the end of the long aisle, getting married can be a pretty intimidating journey. When we were told to get dry ice to keep our ice cream cake cold, so we could drive with it for 45 minutes at noon on a sunny day, well, we were appropriately intimidated. Thanks to San Francisco Ice Company we were put at ease.
It’s in a good part of a terrible part of town. Not scary, just be aware of your surroundings. The guy who helped us was so friendly and helpful that we both remarked that we wished we had more occasions to buy dry ice.
The beautiful thing about the place is that they appear to be used to folks being uninitiated in the ways of dry ice. He took the time to ask us enough questions so he could make a recommendation (30 seconds), and then cut us custom pieces (2 minutes). And, it was all extremely cheap.
So if you need dry ice, or just looking do some cool experiments, head over to SF Ice Company. They’re very cool. :-)

Brian and Jim and everyone here at SF Ice are always super nice and friendly. There are times when my crew rolls up and needs like 100 lbs of dry ice and they knock it out no problem!
One day Brian showed me that they do all kinds of rad ice sculptures for parties! They can do some pretty amazing stuff in all kinds of themes. If ever one day I plan on having a ridiculous and extravagant party, I will call upon these guys to help me out!
And, as my fellow Unilocaler Bucky mentioned, Kona is a rad and mellow dog that you can chill with while you get your business done. Cool. Literally. Wow, that was nerdy. But also true. And now I’m done.

Liquid shit. With my old job I would ship it to the East Coast. I ain’t playin’. I would actually take vials of frozen diarrhea and place it in a box and mail it to Massachuschettes (that is how it is spelt in the Scientific community). Of course, to follow the S.O.P. (that’s Standard Operating Procedure for you plebeians) the containers of Montezuma’s Revenge would have to arrive in a still solid state. In order to make sure the semi-​solid brown didn’t melt into a nice puddle of puddin’ I would have to lace the boxes with frozen Carbon Dioxide or Dry Ice for you Corky types.
I bought Dry Ice at different places in the city but there were so many places that didn’t meet my needs. They wouldn’t return my calls or they wouldn’t deliver the goods after my money was spent… in other words no happy ending. As they say in the scientific community, if you can’t figure out the solution then move onto another quadratic equation and subtract Pythagorean’s theorem add the hypotenuse of argon and wish upon a black hole… which led me to the San Francisco Ice Company.
They filled all of my Dry Ice needs. 10 – 50 pounds of dry ice at a moments notice without nary a hesitation. AND I got to play with their badass dog Kona while I was waiting for them to cut the blocks of Dry Ice into manageable squares. So remember, when you need to ship frozen poo thousands of miles, San Francisco Ice Company is your go-​to place.

Need a 100 lbs of cubed ice in 30 minutes?
Call SF Ice, they’ll be there in 15…
