First time visiting Norman’s Ice Cream over the weekend and it’s a great little gem in Fisherman’s Wharf. If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the tourists in the Wharf and find a quaint and semi-private area, this is it. Norman’s is located off of Beale street in a small brick coveted shopping center. It’s located directly across from one of the Academy of Art University buildings and with its iconic ice cream cone, you can’t miss it. Now, don’t let it’s small size full you.

I kept it simple and got a milkshake - I was a fan of getting to choose my own ice cream, and went with the cookies and cream option. It was just milk and ice cream, but wow was it tasty! The man (Norman, I guess?) running the shop was super friendly as well, and was very generous in letting my girlfriend sample some of the varied flavors of ice cream offered.
Definitely check...
