After months of anticipation and unexpected delays, Toy Boat by Jane, the beloved Clement Street ice cream shop known for its playful decor and partnerships with local creameries, is officially reopening on Friday, June 13. The shop will operate from noon to 10 p.m. on Fridays through Sundays for the first two weeks, with plans to add Wednesdays and Thursdays soon after.
Originally shuttered in November for renovations, the shop had promised a March 2025 reopening, but the timeline was pushed back, leaving regulars speculating about its fate. Now, fans of Double Rainbow, Mitchell’s Ice Cream, and Hometown Creamery can once again enjoy their favorite scoops, sundaes, and more in this whimsical, toy-lined spot from the Jane the Baker group.
Beyond its nostalgic charm, Toy Boat by Jane stands out in San Francisco’s dessert scene by showcasing local ice cream brands in unique, over-the-top sundaes. As one of the city’s quirkiest ice cream destinations, it’s a standout for both its flavors and ambiance—and it’s a notable example of how ice cream franchise opportunities can succeed when local flair meets community loyalty.
