Actual concerns on allergen safety here: There’s chunks of dropped chocolate flavor in the Mandarin Dreams flavor and looks like it has just been left there without any concern. Huge long line and one person serving and looking like they absolutely did not want to be there. Oreo sundae pictured, honestly can’t recommend the experience. Better go elsewhere for ice cream 🥲

Yesterday was my first time trying Humphrey Slocombe for the first time. I was there around 6:20 or so, the young lady serving was nice and accommodating she was a little shy but once she seen my dog she was became even more relaxed and accommodating. I like how she gave her true opinion on the flavors I asked for. Which I like that, over my experience was great I just wish the flavors were more diverse and more to choose from.

We've had HS ice cream on occasion over the years and it's as good as it always is. Definitely one of our favorite ice cream places. The finish/mouth feels clean and milky vs creamy and viscous like Mitchell's for example (both have their place and time). We have tried to like one of the other currently popular places whose name has salt in it, but after three tries we've come to accept that it just wasn't up to our liking. HS is much better for us. Service was upbeat and friendly here even though I know he was tired from what must've been a busy day (extra warm outside).

Delicious ice cream with very different flavors, I really liked it! This was my first time trying and I was very surprised there was a lot of people and it was very late at night. Some of the flavors’ names didn’t say anything to me and I wish I could have more explanation about them but I guess you can’t go wrong with this brand and you just need to trust your instincts and try one. I went for the ginger stout flavored and it was incredible.

Visited this truck while in Oakland for work. Some very nice staff and they have some interesting seasonal flavors but I settled on Chili Vanilla and Secret Breakfast. The Secret Breakfast was excellent but I decided to give 4 stars because they had to use a chili caramel sauce for the chili vanilla since the chilis weren't mixed into the ice cream well and were all at the bottom of the container.
