On 1132 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122 with workers everywhere rolling and smashing ice cream mixtures, the atmosphere of Let’s Roll Ice Creamery is busy, bustling, and crowded. And a lot of waiting is involved. But wait! Stay tuned… it might be worth it.
The concept is hand-rolled ice cream–like little rolled up carpets of ice cream, but they’re not carpets. 😉
They have a wide range of flavors– or mixtures, that is, like 3xberries and cookie monSTER (nam nam nam).
They said the cookie monster flavor was their best seller, so I got that and the 3x berries on two different occasions. I nam nam NAM-ed them up.
Yes, they’re very aesthetically beautiful. The ice cream itself is a little hard, but watching them make it is pretty transfixing.
That being said, they’re slightly pricy, and the wait is a little bit longer than it would be to scoop normal ice cream. That’s why I’m thinking about learning to make them myself– it can’t be that hard, right? Pshhhhh… yeahh… not that hard she says… *burns down kitchen*

P.S. Did I mention infinite toppings?!?!?! INFINITE. TOPPINGS. YASSSS. Could anything be better?
Suddenly I saw a bunch of new SK posts on my Feedly – your food writing continues to get better and better.
I had this Thai-style rolled ice cream for the first time last year. Although I thought it was tasty and very Instagram-worthy, I found the wait time (and this was early-afternoon with only a few other orders before us) to be unbearably long. It seemed to take about five minutes to craft each bowl and our total wait time was around half an hour! Eons for two young boys eager for dessert.
Rolled ice-cream does take a while – especially when there is a long line. Our wait wasn’t too bad because Let’s Roll has multiple stations.
We miss you on this blog. Thanks for checking in and commenting!
