Shaws is a San Francisco institution, a long time candy shop and ice cream parlor in the West Portal neighborhood. It serves Mitchell’s ice cream, homemade chocolates, fudge, and old-fashioned candy. The shop is cute and colorful, often updated for different themes and holidays. Service is quick and efficient. While the fudge may taste artificial to some, the ice cream is consistently good, offering a nice big scoop for a reasonable price. The business also provides custom orders for events and corporate gifts, working within a budget to create themed collections. Under new ownership with a recent remodel, it remains a nostalgic neighborhood icon.
Awesome little sweets spot in West Portal on the Main Street. They carry a variety of flavors of Mitchell’s ice cream, a local SF fave. Super friendly staff and service.
