Tucker's Ice Cream

What a great neighbor old school ice cream parlor est. 1941. Got a junior double scoop of Marble Butterscotch and Almond choco Fudge or any of the 2 dozen flavors available daily in a cake cone. They also have frozen chocolate-covered bananas and ice cream cakes for kid's parties. I heard there's a crazy 12-scoop Kitchen Sink sundae, but I haven't tried it yet!

As part of my Alameda Restaurant Week tour, I made sure to include Tucker's Ice Cream in my photo collection. The place immediately stands out as a downtown institution - it feels straight out of a movie with its classic ice cream parlor charm. They have this great back patio with a beautiful blooming jacaranda tree that creates a perfect setting to enjoy their desserts. The variety of great flavors gives everyone something to love, which is probably why it's become the family spot for Alameda locals over the years.

Tucker's is a beloved gem in Alameda and has been a long-standing tradition for our family. My husband grew up enjoying Tucker's, and now we've continued the tradition with our children. The flavor selection is incredible—there hasn’t been a single one we didn’t enjoy. Whether you're staying to savor your ice cream in the charming shop or strolling through Alameda's quaint downtown, the experience is always delightful. The vibe is welcoming and nostalgic, perfect for creating lasting memories. And don’t miss their fresh-made, chocolate-covered waffle cones—they’re worth the trip alone! Tucker’s truly embodies everything you want from a local, family-run ice cream parlor: exceptional quality, friendly service, and a touch of magic. Highly recommend!

Tucker’s Ice Cream in Alameda was the perfect dessert place! They were busy but the line moved quick. I ordered a classic…banana split…which equally matched the classic vibe of this ice cream place. What nostalgia & what great experience! Nothing beats classic taste! 🍨😋

Love the nostalgic feeling and look and it was fun but I had better ones and more flavourful ones like the Mexican ice cream in Livermore. Overall it was really nice to try it.
