Humphry Slocombe offers unique and delightful flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. While my recent visit came with a bit of a wait (long lines and a single staff member managing the weekend crowd – kudos to her for her perseverance!), the delicious reward at the end solidified it as a 4-star experience.

One of the things I loved about Humphry Slocombe (as with most ice cream places nowadays) is the opportunity to try before you buy. They offer tastings of their various flavors, allowing you to discover the perfect scoop (or two!) for your taste buds. They also cater to portion preferences with different sizes available, making it easy to indulge in a single scoop or grab a pint to enjoy later. For the pint-sized ice cream lovers, they even had a tempting buy-2-get-1-free deal – a great way to stock up on your favorites or try new flavors.

After much deliberation, I landed on the Cornflake Crunch ice cream. This delightful concoction was a symphony of creamy sweetness with a touch of saltiness, perfectly complemented by the satisfying crunch of cornflakes. It was a flavor explosion, and every bite was a moment of pure joy. While they don't have any designated seating areas, this didn't take away from the experience. It was a beautiful day, and we enjoyed strolling through Redwood City's downtown with our ice creams in our hands.

Fantastic ice cream, with strange, but fun names. Only problem is that everyone has to sample several flavors to know what to get, so the line can take a while. But when it is your turn, it is worth it. Ordered two singles for my daughter and I and it was $13 and then my buddy ordered a double scoop with two flavors for his kid and him and it was $8. Lesson learned.

Somehow always end up here for dessert after dining late at redwood city downtown - super convenient location and open until very late! Interesting flavors they switch up often, and I love their affogato.

Great! LOOOVE the peanut butter ripple flavour with the waffle cone. My favourite! Not sure why the reviews are low, staff very friendly and helpful. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Finally open! There are not a ton of great ice cream options in Redwood City, so I'm super grateful that a Humphrey Slocombe scoop shop opened here.
They have a modest collection of flavors, sugar cones, and some pints for sale. It's simple and small, but a welcome addition. Also has a couple benches and a small table out front.

Elijah is the best !!! great customer service, the most delicious ice cream I’ve ever had, brown butter, and Vietnamese coffee is the best! There are five of us, so we all got all sorts of different types with toasted, marshmallow and topping, freaking off the hook delicious!

Tasted freezer burn in both. Their lavender was lackluster and felt like bits of wet paper. S&S lavender is more balanced and flavorful. Tahitian vanilla was a little better. Service was friendly

Having heard nothing but good things about Humphry Slocombe, but never given the opportunity to try their frozen treats, I knew when I spotted this location in Redwood City that I had to give it a taste test.

Humphry Slocombe is known for their unique take on ice cream flavors, that being said they still offer tried and true favorites like their takes on vanilla and chocolate. I got their Hong Kong Milk Tea and found the flavor did justice to its namesake. The milk tea flavor was clear and present, and I was surprised with the almond cookie bits that were mixed in. With one flavor sampled and many to go, I already know I'll definitely be back in the future. Of note, the shop itself is fairly small with no indoor seating; however, there's plenty of outdoor seating in the area (the street is currently closed off to car traffic) where you can enjoy your sweet treat.

If you like ice cream, have adventurous taste buds, and are looking , then I highly recommend giving Humphry Slocombe's flavors a try!
