La Copa Loca
1504 Church St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in San Francisco, this spot feels like a delightful surprise that keeps people coming back—reviewers rave about stumbling upon it unexpectedly and being blown away. Beyond traditional coffee, La Copa Loca shines with an impressive rotating selection of gelato and sorbets featuring adventurous flavors like tamarind and papaya alongside classics, plus indulgent creations like their famous Dubai chocolate crepe that balance richness with restraint. It's the kind of place where you linger over something sweet with friends or family, with such a warm, approachable vibe that the owner has even become a trusted vendor choice for special events.”

We weren’t even planning to stop here — and I’m so glad we did. La Copa Loca was a spontaneous Valentine’s dessert find, and it turned out to be such a gem. Great selection of flavors, beautifully presented, and everything we tried was delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the space itself is cute and charming — perfect for a casual sweet stop while walking through the neighborhood. Sometimes the best places are the ones you discover by accident. We’ll absolutely be back.
Dubai chocolate crepe is the best! Crunchy, pistachioey, chocolatey… with strawberries, whipped cream.. delicious!
We hired Mauro as a vendor for our wedding, and cannot recommend him enough! He was very easy to work with, pricing was extremely reasonable, and he made the entire process seamless from beginning to end. The setup he brought was so cute, and the gelato was amazing - our guests could not stop raving about it! Highly recommend as a vendor for an event, or simply just for the delicious gelato!
I may call this is sorbet shop. They have so many kind of sorbet along with gelato. Taste is really good. Not crazy sweet. Some special flavor for ice cream and sorbet like tamarind / papaya. I got the 6 scoops in the box. - Papaya: sound interesting to try but not good. Very bland. No has papaya favor at all. 1/5 - mix berry: sweet. Ok 4/5 - low calorie mango: good sweet. Good taste 5/5 - tamarind: good taste 5/5 - chocolate hazelnut: really good 5/5 - rum with raisin: the best!!! It’s very rare that they have it here. I always have this one with different brand name ice cream box. Glad that they make it. Very good flavor and not too sweet. 5/5 Ice cream and sorbet is well made. There are a lot of different flavor for every one choice. Aside from ice cream scoop with cone. They also have crepes, and big container for ice cream from 6 scoops up. Service is ok. Very fast service. But all staff not so happy to help and seem very rush to take order . My first time being here. I need sometime to check out the menu also how to order. Restroom available for customer and public. Sorry to say. So disgusting and uncomfortable. Understand that this is busy street and so many ppl come to use the restroom and hand around dine in area. Street parking only. Peak hour may difficult to find parking spot. You can park on van ness ave and easy walk couple blocks to the shop. Not expected much for dine in or group hang out as i feel unpleasant. Good for quick stop by to pick up and leave. But honestly ice cream and sorbet are really good. Worth a try. High recommend with rum raisin/ tamarind. Let see if next time come back, they have the dragon fruit again or new flavor like mango tajin ( my suggestion)
Extremely good!!! Will be back here for a post dinner sweet treat for sure. I got coconut and coffee on a cone it was very delicious. Many flavors looked really good. They had a large selection. They had multiple dairy free options for my friend which is great. Highly recommend if you need a sweet treat which we all do!! They also sell exotic fruits which is always a huge plus.. love trying those
