Fentons Creamery & Restaurant

Fentons Creamery is a family-owned and operated retro soda fountain shop in Oakland that showcases daily ice cream production and fountain sundae making.

Founded in Oakland, CA in 1894, Fentons Creamery is a landmark institution that has served generations its famous handcrafted ice creams and sauces.

Their ice cream sundaes are world famous – the Black & Tan Sundae is a signature item, made with one of the many ice cream flavors invented by Melvin Fenton – toasted almond.

Featured on the Travel Channel, the History Channel, the Food Network, and in USA Today and Zagat, Fentons offers ice cream production tours by appointment.

The menu features a classic selection of grilled sandwiches, burgers and salads.

Well-behaved, leashed dogs allowed on the outside patio.

They now have an additional location at 1669 E Monte Vista Ave. in Vacaville.
