I was zooming around (or pushing) my uber scooter around SF and stumbled across this ice cream parlour. Such a lovely place, historic I wanted to try all the flavours. A genuine and historical place to visit, so glad I was up in the hills to be able to visit.

We got a small scoop for $5. Delicious ice cream and generous portion for the price!
