Seating outside is shared with the hot dog shack next door. Only about 5 tables, but if you're brave and ask somebody you can share a table with them and get to know somebody new. The ice cream was super yummy and extremely affordable. I've never paid so little for ice cream and gotten so much. It's not the easiest place to find, but it's worth it.

"If you like Yuban coffee rather than real coffee, you 'll enjoy the oddly textured and tasteless ice cream served here just like the good old days of poor quality ice cream.If you 've come to enjoy Scoops in Fairfax or Strauss Creamery, or any of the multitude of high quality ice cream shops in the Marin/Sonoma area, then give the Captain a hard pass.I literally tossed the two scoops of ice cream into the trash after trying several spoons. The texture reminded me of the wood putty I used the prior day as it actually stretched like goop as you pulled the spoon away, it didn 't melt in your mouth like good ice cream, and it had no discernable flavor of the coffee or pistachio scoops I bought. Certainly no joy from eating it, unless you just like cold stuff.Service was slow, as only one person is handling everything, and two groups walked away. The line gave me high hopes as it was definitely Scoops like, although not as fast moving, but sadly no payoff for waiting. It was a hot day, so thus the line.It 's an off beat location next to the post office and a hot dog joint, but pleasant being right on the bay and off the beaten path of the two major tourist wharfs.Too bad the ice cream is so bad, and I suspect the espresso and coffee is just as poor from the aroma of the pull the prior customer got.Step up your game, Captain.
