About

At Bad Walter's Bootleg Ice Cream, we help Rockridge and families across Oakland and the East Bay discover small-batch, handcrafted ice cream made entirely with lactose-free dairy. Our menu changes every week, so every visit brings new, maximalist flavors to try, from bold, complex creations to classics with their own twist.

We're known for rich, creamy textures and big flavors that aren't overly sweet, with favorites like our Campfire and rotating specials such as carrot cake. Guests who are lactose intolerant tell us they can finally enjoy a full scoop worry-free, and our friendly service keeps people coming back.

Our flavors are made to be savored, so take your time and see what's on the menu this week.
