    Really hits the spot on a hot mission day. Be prepared to wait in line for 20m though.

    Better than Humphry Slocombe, if you ask me. The salted caramel is an utter knockout.

    They may have a lot of options, but it's hard to beat their cookies and cream.

    The rocky road is amazing, but only available as a pre-packed pint.

    Honey lavender is yummy, but olive oil flavor is divine. Salted caramel is overrated and too sweet.

    The earl grey is refreshing and their sundaes can cure any sweet tooth

    Salted Carmel is awesome... but I have to say the Stawberry Balsamic is even more special.

    Ricanelas = 1 part Snickerdoodle, 1 part homemade Cinnamon ice cream, 1 part tears from a Unicorn. There is nothing like it.

    Is the line worth the wait? YES! Salted Caramel is the staple here for most locals, I add Roasted Banana and find it to be a great balance together.

    The rarely served rocky road is really the best flavor, but milk chocolate chai and the salted caramel are close seconds. Get your card stamped and get a free scoop for every 10.

    as awesome as salted caramel is, resist the urge to always get it, and try one of the other awesome flavors

    Weird but surprisingly good combo: salted caramel + ginger (straight up ginger ice cream, not the brown sugar ginger swirl.) If you're skeptical, they'll give a sample of both on the same spoon.

    The brown sugar ice cream blew my chip off, very delicious!

    Go next door to The Window at Bi-Rite Creamery for soft-serve ice cream & other desserts. Sometimes they have Salted Caramel cupcakes!

    Basil is the best. But it's seasonal. Only in summer..

    If you're getting two scoops, ask the scoopers what they'd recommend. They never disappoint.

    The soft serve window closes earlier than the ice cream line so plan accordingly!

    If the creamery line is too long, go for soft serve at the take away window to the right!

    Eat the banana split, but get one scoop of vanilla and one scoop of the roasted banana ice cream. You won't be disappointed.

    A pint of earl grey, a pint of orange cardamom. Bring them home. Eat them with a couple of spoons.
