This place was such a delight. The man helping behind the counter was so excited to share the ice cream with me that he let me taste at least seven flavors! The flavors were unique, subtle, and creamy with a nice texture. Both mango flavors were great and tasted like perfect ripe mangoes of the tree. The blueberry lavender was calming and creamy and avoided tasty soapy like so many lavender ice creams do. It was very sweet so just a little will do. The fig and walnut was the first ice cream that I have ever tried that captured the delight of a fresh fig. The pistachio kulfi flavor is one I have been chasing for years after the Persian ice cream sandwich shop in San Jose closed. I really appreciated that they had four non dairy flavors to choose from, and that all their ice cream is eggless. While some of the non dairy flavors are more like sorbets, others are very creamy and do not have a coconut flavor or iciness the way some vegan ice creams do. It wasn’t as expensive as Salt and Straw or Humphrey Slocombe and I appreciated the option for a split scoop so I could have two flavors. While I was there a wide range of families stopped in, it was clear that the place is popular. I was tempted by the Coldstone down the block on my way, and am so glad I came here instead. Give it a try, you won’t be sorry. :)

I recently visited this ice cream place in the Bay Area, and I must say it was a delightful experience. Here's my review: 1) The variety of Indian flavors they offer is impressive. From classic options like mango and pistachio to more unique choices like Mysore pak moths choor, Gulab jamun , there's something for everyone. It's a true treat for those looking to explore the rich and diverse world of Indian ice cream flavors. 2) What sets this place apart from other Indian ice cream spots in the Bay Area is the exceptional taste. The flavors are not only authentic but also incredibly delicious. 3) The ambiance of the place adds to the overall experience. It's a welcoming and cozy space with tasteful decor. Whether you choose to enjoy your ice cream indoors or in their outdoor seating area, you're in for a pleasant time. It's a great spot to savor your ice cream while catching up with friends or family. Overall, I highly recommend this ice cream place to anyone looking for a unique and delicious ice cream experience in the Bay Area.

What we liked - Finally found a icecream spot that serves eggless ice creams.! Love that they have so many flavors. Our favorites have been - Chikoo, Guava Chilli, Mango, Thandai, Pista Kulfi. The staff/service is wonderful. They were so helpful and willingly/patiently offered samples. I liked that they were eager to please. Also detailed description was provided. What we didn’t like - - found it way more expensive comparatively. I thought it was because of the unique flavors - but then we compared it to Ricks in Palo Alto ( they also serve Malai Kulfi) and Pints of Joy was way more expensive. - Gulab Jamun icecream - the gulab jamun itself tasted stale. It tasted like canned Gulab Jamun - such a bummer because the icecream itself was good. Overall, loved majority of the icecream flavors, service. Pricing could be better and Gulab Jamun icecream - the Jamun itself should be fresh not canned. Hence minus 2 stars but hoping since it’s a new spot, they’ll consider the feedback.

I recently visited Pints of Joy and was blown away by the quality of their ice cream. The Alphonso mango ice cream was absolutely divine and tasted like a little piece of heaven in every bite. It was creamy, smooth, and had just the right amount of sweetness. The other flavors we tried were also excellent and had unique and interesting flavor combinations. Despite the long line, the staff was efficient and friendly, and the wait was definitely worth it. The shop has a fun and cheerful atmosphere, and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality of the product. They also offer a variety of toppings and cones, making for a fun and customizable dessert experience. Overall, I highly recommend Pints of Joy to anyone looking for a delicious and unique ice cream experience. The Alphonso mango ice cream alone is worth the trip, and the long line is a testament to just how good it is. 5/5 stars!

Delicious ice creams. So thrilled to see so many flavors and they all tasted delicious. The staff was very friendly and polite which I really appreciated. It was nice to try so many indian flavors. some of my favorites being gulab jamun and butterscotch and salted guava. In addition, we again tried falooda,meetha pan, blueberry lavender. I did feel that the blueberry lavender was a bit overwhelming or the flavors together didn't do justice to each other and if the team is willing, I would like to suggest vanilla lavender as a future flavor. I tried this combo in a lavender farm once and still remember how fresh it was. It was just perfect given that vanilla is a mellow flavor and you can truly get the essence of lavender in a combo like this. It's one of my favorites! I got some for my friends as a holiday gift and they truely loved and appreciated it so much

I recently visited Pints of Joy Ice-Cream Parlour, and it was an incredible experience! The variety and quality of their ice cream left me thoroughly impressed. I started with the Mango Mastani, which was a deliciously rich and creamy delight, capturing the true essence of mangoes. The Mango and Chocolate Ice Cream scoops were equally fantastic, with each flavor standing out in its own right—refreshingly fruity and decadently rich. The Pistachio Sandwich Ice Cream was another highlight, combining the crunchy, nutty goodness of pistachios with smooth, creamy ice cream between perfectly baked cookies. I also tried the Gulab Jamun and Paan flavors, which were unique and absolutely delightful. The Gulab Jamun flavor was wonderfully sweet and reminiscent of the classic Indian dessert, while the Paan flavor was refreshingly aromatic and a perfect palate cleanser.
