Fentons

Top choice in Oakland


If you have children, or love ice cream, you owe it to yourself to stop by this institution. The range of ice cream flavors is encyclopedic in range, stretching from banana nut to green tea, and the scoops are more than generous. Plenty of sundae options, plus burgers and grilled sandwiches for those not indulging their sweet tooth.

Look for a Fentons cameo in the Pixar movie Up – the studios are located in nearby Emeryville.
