Mitchell's is an institution in the Outer Mission. Drive by the corner of 29th and San Jose (Guerrerro) at almost any time of day any weather and see people lined up for ice cream. This 1950s establishment serves one thing only -- ice cream -- and is very bare bones. There are two benches outside but other than that you have to take your ice cream to go. I like the basics -- cookies n cream and rocky road but the more adventureous go for their tropical flavors that rotate frequently.

I lie the fact that they offer some unusual and creative flavors, but they just don't taste very good.

I am a food connoisseur and one thing that stands out in Mitchell's ice cream is the flavor definition. I've tried comparing it side-by-side with other brands of ice cream around town and this is hands down the best ice cream in town. You will have to taste ice cream from Berthillon in Paris to see what I mean...
Pros: Local, Open late, Parking lot
Cons: , Mediocre service, Cash only

My hubby and I went to Mitchell's for the first time last night. WOW!! Although we weren't prepared for the 30 minute wait, we found that it was worth our while. The ice cream was so smooth, creamy, and luscious! I had a chocolate chip scoop and hubby had a strawberry shake. Both were marvelous! My only complaint would be that for the high volume of customers they service, they really should expand their operations. The wait was pretty long.
Pros: Incredible ice cream, Interesting flavors, Small parking lot
Cons: LONG wait, Lot usually full

I've been a customer of Mitchell's for years, so I can tell you that "kiki 94110" and "mangofruitcake" don't know what they're talking about. Mitchell's has been making their own ice cream for 50 years, and the quality has always been excellent. Since Mr. Mitchell still owns & runs the place, it hasn't changed much over the years. They wouldn't continue to have so many customers if it wasn't good! Try the Mocha Fudge and Kahlua. They're great!
Pros: great quality, parking lot, friendly service
Cons: no seating, big crowds

Go to Joe's. At least he makes his own ice cream. Mitchell's is an overhyped SF crony landmark with no redeeming qualities except that it's in the Mission.

Their flavours are overhyped. Agreed, they are a neighbourhood joint. But there are plenty of other mom & pop ice cream shops in the city that have better quality, better service, and better value that what you get at mitchell's... What is the hype, anyway? Service has no real heart to it anyway, and the audience is just a group of people who have jumped on the Mitchell's bandwagon.
Pros: parking lot
Cons: expensive/not a value, service, blah
