Very good ice cream with good environmental practices

by Antonius

The ice cream here was very good, make no mistake, and if you are in favor of environmentally sound practices like sustainability and like the use of organic and locally sourced ingredients, you will like this place even more. My wife and I went out here on the recommendation of Citysearch and were not disappointed. It is a tiny little place where people were lined up out the door. There was an exotic selection of flavors, like Balsamic Strawberry and Cardamom Orange, which are all made in small batches using mostly organic ingredients. Their plates and spoons are recyclable and they use only real metal spoons for samples so as to not create waste. The ice cream was delicious. I myself enjoyed a sundae with homemade brownie chunks, FRESH whipped cream (it comes in a dollop, not from a can with compressed air), fresh berry compote and 2 scoops of ice cream. Very tasty. The location is a bit dicey, at least at night and getting there can be an issue if you are coming from Union Square, Nob Hill, or any of that area, as we had to take the BART to 16th street and walk a few blocks, but it is not impossible.

• Pros: Creamy, fresh ice cream, organic ingredients, very friendly staff, variety of flavors
• Cons: Location is a minor pain to get to and is not the best after dark

best ice cream ever

by sargie

I lOVE their ICE CREAM. My all time favorite is the Smore's ice cream pie. I cannot get enough of this

stuff. They use a graham cracker crust, chocolate ice cream, caramel and a marshmallow meringue

toping. There ice cream is made with the purest ingredients. It is creamy and flavorful. The strawberry

is unlike any other. Finally an ice cream that doesn't have that nasty artificial flavor. In addition to ice cream,

they have freshly baked goods. YUM YUM! Cookies, pies, brownies etc. Who needs MAGNOLIA in New York. Great staff, service,prices and location.

• Pros: delicious. creamy. flavorful. service. cleanliness. environmentally friendly.
• Cons: none

Gourmet Ice Cream

by sfstephb

How is it that this place doesn't have more reviews? It's ice cream heaven. Seriously good ice cream. Forget the toppings, or the sauce, or even the cone. Just go for the ice cream straight out of the bowl. The flavors, like "salted caramel" and "honey lavendar" are utterly amazing. This is ice cream for grown ups!

• Pros: Worth the wait in line
• Cons: Disorganized, uninterested counter staff

In Short
A wonderland of old-fashioned delights, this shop holds all good things dear--from artisanal confections to the health of the environment. Sampling--done with real, not disposable, spoons--of classic and unusual flavors such as ginger or salted caramel ice cream is encouraged. All are made with Straus Organic Dairy products, and seasonal fruit granitas and soy flavors give non-dairy lovers plenty of options. The bakery makes all the goods for Bi-Rite Market, across the street.
