About
Fentons Creamery is Oakland's sweetest landmark, a family-owned retro ice cream parlor that has been scooping since 1894. Unlike other ice cream spots, this one makes its ice cream on-site and serves full American grill fare like burgers and sandwiches. The signature Black & Tan Sundae features Toasted Almond ice cream, a flavor invented by founder Melvin Fenton. The place has been featured on the Travel Channel, the History Channel, and the Food Network, which says something about its staying power.
Bring your dog and sit on the outdoor patio. Reservations are accepted, which is handy on weekends when the crowd of all ages packs in. You can also book an ice cream production tour. If you're still hungry after dessert, nearby Home of Chicken and Waffles is a solid next stop.
