Family Vacation: Best Spots for Ice Cream
The weather in San Francisco is warming up making it splendid for an ice cream break. We suggest treating the family to something everyone can enjoy. With artisanal shops popping up all over the city, it may be hard to pick just one--that’s why we’ve narrowed it down to our top three.
Salt & Straw, 220 Fillmore St
Classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate are available for the little ones, while options such as green apple mayo sherbert and peach vinegar cobble with toasted nutmeg will intrigue the adults. Head to this Portland-founded shop, for ice cream masterly crafted from locally sourced food ingredients that are guaranteed to dazzle your taste buds.
Joe’s Ice Cream, 5420 Geary Blvd
Makes the kids happy while igniting your inner child with throwback flavors like root beer swirl and rum raisin. Step back in time to 1959 when this old-school spot first opened. Innovative scoops like chai tea and wasabi also make an appearance on the menu. We like to pair one classic scoop with one innovative scoop to make one power flavor explosion.
Bi-Rite Creamery, 3292 18th Street
Locals and visitors will tell you the line is worth the wait, and we can’t help but agree. For gourmet culinary combinations like Olive Oil and Balsamic Strawberry, we’d wait all day. All of the ice cream is made from organic eggs, milk, and cream from Straus Family Creamery, making it a genuinely local ice cream shop.
