Original Swensen’s

The Original Swensen’s is an institution when it comes to handmade ice cream in San Francisco. Earle Swensen opened the doors in 1948 on Union and Hyde. Since day one, we have always used the highest quality ingredients in making our world-famous ice cream. Carried on to this day, we still make all the ice cream on-site, owner Dick Campana started working for Swensen’s at the age of sixteen, and 61 years later he and his daughter, Diane and son-in-law Jim Laughlin continue the wonderful flavors and tradition of putting smiles on their customers' faces. We are so excited to re-opened this week, July 13, after having closed our doors for several months due to COVID-19.

Please come visit, we are open every day from 12 noon - 10pm. Fridays and Saturdays we are open until 11pm.

You can also contact the store at 415-775-6818.
