Lappert's Ice Cream on PIER 39 — Restaurant in San Francisco

If the hair we found in both of our ice-creams was ours then we rate it 3 stars, if it was theirs 1.5 stars.

Aside from human error, Lapperts is your average run of the mill ice-cream shop that sports your average flavors. Nothing to write home about, although it is a little surprising considering it’s on the iconic Pier 39 and could really have something special going for it.

There used to be a time where there was a Dough’P location at the Pier and THAT was an experience. (All you cookie connoisseurs would have died a pleasant cookie dough death. Alas, their location has moved.)

My other son got mint chocolate chip and I got chocolate chip ice cream. It was great to be able to all eat a treat together (which can be difficult with food...

Dessert shop in Pier 39 good enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. Prices are a tad higher than the norm due to it's location, but sometimes you just have to put it and be done. This shop carry a large collection of Jelly Belly jelly beans that covers every flavors. Front to back on one side of store is all bins fill with them. Dreyers ice cream is also a local favorite with classic to seasonal flavors. The workers are always nice especially Maria always giving me samples. Best deal here is to get banana split made separately, but pay one price. You get extra toppings if you do and don't have...
