"It doesn't get more awesome than this Russian Hill, San Francisco gem. A real institution that nails it, and doesn't even try. They make their own ice cream on site. They don't take credit cards. They don't have an interior designer. They don't have a flavorist that advises them on which flavors will be on trend in 18 months. They have none of this, except exceptionally delicious, well aerated and turned ice cream, with the correct flavor load, and density, and ingredients your grandmother will know. (Sorry, essence of corn, there is no place for you here.) They have famous flavors like Vanilla, Rocky Road and the like, but pepper it up with peach, lychee, black cherry, oatmeal, etc. Quick service, and usually packed, but not obnoxiously so. Clients are happy, excited folks from the neighborhood, kids that grew up that want to take their own kids to a fond place, and professionals exploring Swensen's. Enjoy it while it lasts, because ice cream tastes better before it melts."

"Just had to try it and was not disappointed. It's small though so don't expect to sit down anywhere. It's a grab and go. So definitely, go and grab one! Tons of flavors to chose from."
