Tucker's Ice Cream - Alameda

Walked the beach and then went downtown for ice cream.Super friendly and quick service even with a line, seems everyone had the same ideaOrdered:? Burgundy Cherry

Got a vanilla malt, nice simple, good base test of ice cream quality. Served with a large paper straw that pulls as much air as malt, partly the state's fault but there are better options. On my first taste I noticed a weird flavor, I can't identify it yet. Malts should only have 3 ingredients so I'm not sure what's going on there. Maybe the ice cream or the malted milk, maybe they used soy milk or something equally disgusting. But to do that without asking would be such a violation of a malt I didn't even consider it until now. It was kind of a vegetable taste, it didn't make it undrinkable but it wasn't good either. I used to get malts at Tucker's all the time and this was a very different experience from a few years ago. I was on a malt quest and thought it would be a short journey but I guess this will be a longer, sweeter road than I thought.

I bought several pints. The ice cream is so smooth and delicious. I even found a couple flavors in sugar free which I prefer.

Long time favorite in Alameda. Many flavors to choose from, plenty of seatings and right in the center of the city

Today, the kids wanted ice cream and just by chance we found parking in front of the restaurant, so Tucker 's it is! I 've visited Tucker 's for several years to grab a quick bite or celebrate birthday parties. It 's been a few years since I 've walked into the restaurant. When we approached the restaurant 's front door, my daughter pointed out the windows sign that read help protect Asian lives. I was just thinking how nice that sign was to read on the windows as you enter the building. As we walked in, it was nice to look up at the second floor and reminisce about all the family parties that were held up there. Today, the girls ordered vegan lemon and Cookie dough ice cream in a waffle cone. My daughter that ate cookie dough said that we need to go to Tuckers again as she quickly devoured every morsel of her snack. My daughter that ordered them vegan lemon said that it was good and we appreciate non-dairy options. I ordered a slice of the s 'mores cake but it was finished by the time I was at the front of the register. It is 3:30pm on a Saturday, and the shift lead was giving my partner attitude and he was not happy with that at all so he asked to speak to the supervisor. As he was speaking to the supervisor, the shift lead walked up to them mid-conversation and said what is the problem so he looked at her and said as a matter of fact, you are the problem. Long story short, basically, even the coworkers of the shift lead were telling my partner that the shift lead is just not a nice person. Ice cream: 4 stars from my girlsCustomer service: 2 stars
