Frozen In Frisco

Oct 19, 2014
Daily / Feature

Summer may seem like the best of all seasons for ice cream — but autumn offers all of the pleasure without the melt. In San Francisco, the humble cone of frozen dairy is elevated to high culinary art at locations citywide. Decadent house-made flavors at The Ice Cream Bar (Cole Street), a 1930s-styled soda fountain/lunch counter, include the alcohol-infused Sassy Granny Sutton. At Over the Moon (Chestnut Street), indulgences include Honey Lavender and Coffee Caramel Crunch.

The Sticky Chewy Chocolate at Swensen’s (Hyde Street) and Grasshopper Pie at Mitchell’s Ice Cream (San Jose Avenue) are local favorites. Elsewhere around town: Blueberry Cheesecake at Joe’s Ice Cream (Geary Blvd.), Irish Morning and Goat Cheese at Holy Gelato (9th Avenue), Lychee at Marco Polo Italian Ice Cream (Taraval Street), and Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee at Humphry Slocombe (Harrison Street).

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
