If you're on a diet, and you're walking down Atwood from Forbes: good luck. The aroma of the homemade waffle cones emerging from this shop are enticing enough to break the will of even the most disciplined dieter. It's always fun to guess the color of the M&M that you'll find at the bottom of your cone once your finish your dessert. Dave & Andy's makes very good ice cream. Their offered flavors vary, but usually always have the core chocolate, vanilla, mint-chip, et cetera. This said, I do not think that Dave & Andy's ice cream is the very best. While the menu variation keeps things interesting, I feel that it also leads to an inevitable variation of custard quality. In this case, Dave & Andy's strength is also its caveat. Nonetheless, the signature waffle cones, and yummy homemade ice cream makes for an iconic Oakland experience. Bring cash!
