Tin Pot Creamery - San Mateo

This site is no longer open and has permanently closed. Used to have some great ice cream and fresh cones.

Looks like this location closed recently : as of 8/28) It didn't seem that long that we were just there and sitting on the nearby swing across from Fieldworks) to enjoy our scoops. Before they took the earl grey away, it was ALWAYS my go-to. But this did give me the opp to try some other flavors and I ended up liking the Blue Jasmine. Sad to see this location gone, since now the closest one will be Palo Alto. I may have to rely on picking it up from Whole Foods now.

One star because it is permanently closed as of 8/28/22. Nearest one is now in Palo Alto.

I have to say I'm a fan! I go back and fourth between Tin Pot Creamery and Salt and Straw. Tin Pot's location is more appealing to me than the hectic Salt and Straw location. I've had Tin Pot Creamery's lavender ice cream. I have come to appreciate the small scoop portions, keeps me from ordering a whole pint and devouring it all in one sitting. Also appreciate their biodegradable serving bowls and spoons. This area is also great for families! There's a Bocce Court right across the street. Plenty of park areas to walk about and wonder as you drench your pallete with Tin Pot's Creamy goodness. Family friendly location with easy parking! Overall I'd recommend this location.

Hidden away from the hustle of downtown, I was blown away with Blue Jasmine Tea Ice Cream here at Tin Pot Creamery. Fragrant and refreshing with a faint bubblegum aftertaste. This luscious blue scoop was not too sweet. Come and get lucky with this rare blue find. A natural food coloring agent, dried butterfly pea flowers are steeped together with delicate jasmine buds and green tea in a honey syrup before blended into a harmonious profile . This ice cream has a gentle floral taste and a mild sweet flavor similar to chamomile with a brilliant cerulean blue hue when prepared as a tea. By the way, if your mouth is aflame after a surprising fiery spicy dinner, this will cool you instantly. An enchanting blend of fabulous fusion! Also available at Whole Foods Market.
