"We wanted ice cream during our walk so we went on a little trek to Swenson’s. This place definitely has its charms and history. You’ll know what I mean once you’re here. While we were walking down the hill, we were greeted by middle aged locals who were beaming at the cups in our hands. Definitely one of the locals’ favorite! We had the Turkish coffee milkshake, black raspberry marble, and lychee."

"It was closed when we finally made it to the top of the hill. But I remember this Ice Cream as a kid and really want to taste it again. The menu item I enjoyed was called the "Coit Tower"."

"Swensen’s design reminds me of Norman Rockwell paintings ; we do need nostalgia during these temperamental times; This place should have some outdoor seating and pistachio flavor but I do love their toasted almond flavor. Lovely to have this parlor within Russian Hill."
