Mitchell's Ice Cream will make it, though having never sampled it, I can't vouch for it either way. Other than that I might try one of the Asian dessert places on Irving or Taraval. There are very few Filipino restaurants in SF itself but if you are willing to trek to Daly City or South SF you might have a better chance of finding what you're looking for.

Tribu and Patio Filipino, both on El Camino in San Bruno, have it, as does Mana on 25th Ave. in San Mateo. Although it is the least traditional, I like Patio's version best: they serve it in a buko (young coconut) with the filling mixed into a coconut water jelly. The lot is topped with crushed ice, leche flan, and ube ice cream. If you want a traditional version, try Tribu.

Kusina Na Tess off of Ellis Street has good halo-halo.
And if all else fails, there is always Jollibee.

I love the Halo Halo at Mitchell's, although I can't speak to its authenticity

Of all places, in Fisherman's Wharf there is a place called Norman's that has halo halo. They also sell Mitchell's Ice Cream,. I haven't had it yet, but I remember seeing it on some local tv show that was featuring the place. It looked good.

How about cendol? Does anywhere in SF make it?

Don't know whar cendol is

Cendol doesn't appear to be on the menu at Penang Garden or Singapore Malaysian, but I'm guessing that at least one of them will make it on request. Penang Garden makes Ais Batu Kacang and Singapore Malaysian makes a similar-sounding dessert with green beans, so maybe they have stock most of the cendol ingredients already?

The best Halo-Halo in San Francisco is at Mitchell's. They hit it right on the head with a perfect mix of beans, fruits, evaporated milk, fresh toasty crispy pinipig (rice), and of course, their wondrous ice cream. My favorite is the halo halo with the ube ice cream.
