Editorial Review for Toy Boat Dessert Cafe – by Gina Goff
In Short
Serving up countless confections and some gourmet sandwiches, this colorful cafe is an eyeful and mouthful. An old-fashioned coin-operated mechanical horse is a focal point amid the shelves of vintage toys and cartoon action figures. Specialty sweets include ice cream (green tea, cappuccino-chocolate crunch, dulce de leche), Chocolate Lovin' Spoonful cake, frozen bananas, and tiramisu.

Though there's nothing incredibly unique about the desserts or food offered at Toy Boat, it's worth coming here just for the restaurant: the plethora of toys and bright colors make your ice cream sundae that much more special. This is a great place to go with a date after a movie, or just go with friends to chat over espresso and ice cream. I personally favor the banana split: so much hot chocolate sauce and ice cream you NEED to split it with someone else. Just the ambiance of this place puts me in a great mood. The sugar probably doesn't hurt either :)
Pros: Atmosphere

Toy Boat is a fun, cute neighborhood place that serves up quality fare along with a friendly, kitchy vibe. They have an impressive menu of specialty blended smoothies and fresh made-to-order sandwiches, along with delicious desserts and trademark ice creams and milkshakes. The tiny corner restaurant is loaded with toys, collectables, 90s-era product t-shirts, and even has a rocking horse. There are a few booths and little tables perfect for enjoying a hearty lunch or sweet snack. This family-owned shop is a true SF gem - make sure to stop by sometime.
Pros: ambience, friendly service, laid-back vibe, great food and desserts, large selection
Cons: parking can be tough, the place is pretty small
