More On June 6, 1953, brothers Larry and Jack Mitchell opened Mitchell's Ice Cream at San Jose Avenue and 29th Street in San Francisco. Larry and Jack were no strangers to the dairy business, as the family owned and operated a small dairy farm in San Francisco in the late 1800's.
Our store began as a neighborhood ice cream shop, but it wasn't long before restaurants and cafes began requesting our ice cream and sorbets for their menus. Over the years, we've gained renown not only for manufacturing super premium gourmet ice cream, but also for making exotic tropical flavors.
Mitchell's is still owned and operated by the Mitchell family today. Because of our dedication to creating the very best ice cream, we were voted "Best Ice Cream Parlor" by the San Francisco Bay Guardian from 1996 through 2004, "Best Ice Cream" by the San Francisco Weekly from 2001 through 2004, and "Best Ice Cream" by CitySearch.com in 2001, 2002 and 2004. We have won over 50 gold, silver and bronze ribbons, as well as 2 gold medallions at California State Fairs.
