Silbermann's Ice Cream — Restaurant in San Rafael

If you like ice cream, then this is the place for you. Now is it the best ice cream you've ever had or will have...no. "But, wait" you say, "what's your basis for comparisons" you ask. Smitten Ice Cream is my all time favorite. Hope that helps you with this review. If that's the bar and Silbermann's is a four star then you can expect it to be good.

He was Very adamant that he would not make...

The ice cream tastes good, but watch out. Serious quality control problems here. I ordered an ice cream cake for my Mom's birthday. After biting into her cake a number of times, we were shocked when she spit out a sharp plastic shard about the size of a penny. A few moments later, my Dad spit out another sharp shard. Definitely not the birthday party experience we had in mind! The shards came from the ice cream (not the cake) and, as shown in the attached photos, the two pieces actually match up.
