Cold, smooth on my tongue, so creamy, rich vanilla flavor. They call it Double Fold Vanilla. It’s one of the best I’ve tasted. Reminds me of McConnell’s vanilla.
Ice cream
Atlas World Fresh Market
Atlas Market has a good amount of exotic foods but it’s the ice cream that interested me. There are many flavors I have not seen before.
Bi-Rite Market – 18th Street
One of the first grocery stores I shopped at was just a bit bigger than Bi-Rite. At the time I was just interested in getting 7Up and Hires Root Beer. Bi-Rite is more for gourmet cooks while that old grocery store was more for necessities and alcohol.
Mitchell’s Ice Cream
I remember my first visit to the city by the bay. It was winter. Cold fog rolled in from the sea every morning. I had delicious ice cream for the first time.
Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream – Encinitas
In days past I walked by this corner to stare at the sea. Fine sand grains felt nice beneath my feet. During the day there was beach volleyball to watch. At days end lovely sunsets. I liked how it’s not as crowded as Pacific Beach or La Jolla. Now there is new reason to come […]
Fosselman’s Ice Cream
I like the stars. It’s the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they’re always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend…I can pretend that things last. Neil Gaiman – The Sandman: Brief Lives Early 1970’s: I was in elementary school at the time. Monday – Friday I looked […]
An’s Dry Cleaning – Yelp event
Cold, sweet, intense flavors unlike any other to give me a short respite from the summer heat. I was hoping luck was with me as I clicked RSVP for the Yelp event at An’s Dry Cleaning where you can’t get your clothes clean but you can find heavenly gelato. I purchased a pint of Melton […]
Doc Burnstein’s Ice Cream Lab – San Luis Obispo
When I was a kid I really looked forward to other kid’s birthday parties. Sometimes they had them at Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlours. That was the only time I’d get to go and have ice cream and candy there. Each birthday was spectacular. Typically 2 employees would bring out a huge sundae for everyone […]
