We wanted ice cream during our walk so we went on a little trek to Swenson’s. This place definitely has its charms and history. You’ll know what I mean once you’re here. While we were walking down the hill, we were greeted by middle aged locals who were beaming at the cups in our hands. Definitely one of the locals’ favorite! We had the Turkish coffee milkshake, black raspberry marble, and lychee.

No pictures cause I ate it too fast. Review is based on what we had, Sticky Peanut Butter, Coffee, Sticky a chocolate w/ raspberry, Coffee with fudge. All 4 were amazing. I can imagine the rest of their lineup is good as well. The people behind the counter were fun and kind. I honestly don't know how they pack so much ice cream into a pint cup, but when you think they are done they just keep packing! So good! Go eat!

Easily one of the best ice cream shops I have been to in the last 10-15 years! Having spent time in dairy country - and my wife having grown up on a dairy farm - we know some good ice cream... and this is GREAT ice cream!! So many good flavors, too. We had like 6 different flavors and everything was great, except the coconut which wifey says was just good. Swiss Orange Chip was probably my favorite, although the Mocha Chip was great too, along with the Turkish Coffee. Wife had Lemon Custard and Black Raspberry Marble that were delicious (I even loved the Lemon Custard). Another great find from the Google reviews!!

Kind staff who also let you sample the ice cream. We didn't sample any and went by the staff's suggestion instead. The ice creams tasted good and they have a lot of flavors to choose from.

Around 1989 I got a scoop of oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough from a Swenson's in Huntington Beach. It was one of the best ice creams I've ever had. Ever have it at your location?

I don't remember. I believe they did when I was a kid in the 1980's.

Is there any way to get Swensen's ice cream delivered to Hayward, CA? (Yes, I know it will be pricey) But what gas & bridge toll will cost, plus the time, I'd be willing to pay a good amount to have Swensen's again! :) Any ideas?

Maybe try doordash? Or, I think an Uber or Lyft drive would be thankful for a good trip??

Swenson's was very popular in Greenville,SC when I was a kid. Here I am, 30 years later, wondering if there are any franchises left on or near the East coast. My question is how many locations are there and how do I find them?

David Webb | Aug 27, 2019

According to their website, there are 3 locations in the USA (Original Location) 1999 Hyde Street San Francisco, CA 94109 Florida South Miami 1586 South Dixie Highway Coral Gables, FL 33146 Texas Midand Saddle Club Plaza 900 W. Loop 250 North C Midland, TX 79705 I'd call and verify that the TX and FL locations are still open, and if you can order gallons or a 5 gallon tub to take home (with a cooler and dry ice, of course).
