About

Our Hayes Valley scoop shop is nestled amongst the vibrant neighborhood’s cultural landmarks, creative boutiques, and homegrown restaurants, one block from Patricia’s Green park—the former Central Freeway space that’s now an urban oasis home to rotating public art installations. Once a neglected district of San Francisco, Hayes Valley has experienced a resident-led renaissance of public arts and creative land use, becoming a cultural hub of the city. Come grab a scoop and explore the area’s highlights, from the SFJAZZ Center and Asian Art Museum to the San Francisco Symphony and the stunning Beaux-Arts edifice of the San Francisco City Hall.

Depending on the season, Uji Time Dessert offers limited production seasonal flavors, such as strawberry rose and lavender in soft serve or ice cream.
