Love that this place has yummy flavors of sugar free ice cream. Their regular flavors are delicious and the employees are always SO nice! We drive 25mins to come to this ice cream shop! Wish they would expand and change their name back. I love the Latin inspired flavors!

The name changed but the same flavors from before remain the same. You'll find some of the best Mexican flavored ice cream around. Don't worry about the name.

Favorite ice cream in Walnut Creek, come here all the time. Friendly customer service, amazing and unusual ice cream flavors and toppings, atmosphere filled with Latino culture and music.

First time trying it today. Fantastic Ice Cream. What's with the name though is it O'briens or Gunatos? I'm confused and not a local.

Great place for ice cream. Love all the options and the different flavors not found at any other ice cream place.

The best ice cream in all of Walnut Creek! This place is a hidden gem! The girls who work there are lovely ladies, everyone of them! Place is always clean! My only wish would be no calorie ice cream! Lol

Really good ice cream! Lots of variety to choose from even for those who are lactose intolerant. Friendly service and great about letting you try samples. I highly recommend the Nutella ice cream and they give good portions per scoop. Smoothies are also surprisingly good too! Great little hole in the wall for some ice cream.

What's with the new name? Was guanatos too ghetto for walnut Creek special people? Ho ice cream was good as usual, but I'm really disappointed with the name change

Brightly lit store with a very friendly staff. I really enjoy the unique flavors. Especially the avocado!

Purchased a banana split for $9. Ice cream was good but service.not in line with these other reviews.

It was 100 degrees out - so I asked if I could get a larger water cup (the ones they provide are small Dixie cups). I was made to feel like I was asking for something extravagant. “Just this time” I was told, with a finger wagging to boot. I offered to pay for the water cup - I was made to feel like I was doing something wrong. Disappointing.

There are so many choices of ice cream flavors and ice cream bars and popcicles. The signs in the front say O'Briens Ice Cream and so that might be deceiving.

Great ice cream. A little different from your regular ice cream but very tasty! Great ambiance especially the music. We enjoyed our ice cream on the outdoor seating available.

This ice cream is delicious! Lots of interesting and unique flavors, but so so good! Try the Lucuma!

This is my go to place for when im craving icecream which is usually in the evening.so when i was rushing to get to guanatos before they closed yesterday around 745pm i managed to get in the door at 759 pm when they were closing at 8pm. Now i work in customer service so i can understand that its not ideal for some one to come in a minute before you close but regardless if someone comes in before we close wether its 2 mins or 1 minute i would never turn a customer away. And unfortunately that's what happened. I walked in the door 1 minute before they were closing and there was even a line full of people ahead of me but this girl that was working told me that she still had to close everything up and i was surprised. All i can say was "really? " And she just said "yah really" i was so upset i just walked out and decided to just write this review. Like i said i love this place but after that i dont think im gonna be going back because i am huge on customer service and to turn away a customer like that before your even closing and ontop of that you have a line of customers, I dont understand that.

5 stars for friendliness of the staff. 5 stars for variety of flavors; this is their strength. 4 stars for quality. Awesome array of Latin American flavors like horchata, Aroz con leche, cajeta etc as well as staples like strawberry and chocolate. They have both cream based ice cream and sorbets, as well as popsicles (cream and juice based). There are a few misses, there have to be with the amount of flavors and types they produce, but are overall quite good. Just sample a lot! My favorite is the horchata.

I love the ice cream! It has a lovely variety of flavors including the unusual. Besides the food, staff are nice. The place has a clean atmosphere with couches for you to use while waiting to order.
