Topped with caramel popcorn and Heath bar. $2.30
Eddie’s Frozen Yogurt, Palm Springs CA
Ugh, this was kinda gross! All the yogurt flavors tasted super synthetic and weird. I opted for two different flavors (the least offensive ones) and only got a little bit of them. I really need a sugar fix otherwise I would have passed.
Kiddie cup $4.69
Haagen Dazs, San Francisco CA
Although this kiddie scoop was perhaps slightly larger than other kids’ scoops around, I still thought that it was overpriced. The ice cream tasted pretty good, but I always feel bad when I can go to any grocery store and buy the same brand for much cheaper.
Vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream, crushed pineapple, sliced strawberries, handmade hot fudge, fresh bananas, whipped cream, chopped almonds, and a cherry. $11.45
Ghirardelli, San Francisco CA
I am embarrassed to admit that I ate this all by myself as my lunch, lol! In my defense, it was in celebration of someone’s birthday. It was pretty good. Nothing special, but the ice cream parlor has a nice vibe and the workers are really friendly.
$5.50
Scoops, Rohnert Park CA
Ugh, the cashier charged me for a waffle cone. Does it look like my ice cream is in a waffle cone? Lame. And the ice cream wasn’t even good. It was too dense and heavy.
Two flavors. Small $4.25
Gelateria Dolce Vita, Washington DC
This area was super touristy and cheesy, but it had a certain kind of charm. It was lively and fun, and what better way to join in than with a scoop of gelato to help with enjoying the weather!
2-flavor cup.
Rita’s Italian Ice, Washington DC
Hmm, this was nice and fun but also very sugary. I liked the idea, but it wasn’t my favorite because I just felt like I overdosed on sweetness. Maybe it was just the flavors I chose. Hmm…
French meringue cookies paired with Meyer lemon ice cream rolled in toasted pistachios. $4
Parfait Ice Cream, Seattle WA
This delicate sandwich was good. I wish the ice cream was creamier though. It was on the icy side, but the flavors were spot on.
Lemon custard ice cream with vanilla cream oreo cookies. Single $3.60
Mitchell’s Ice Cream, San Francisco
Lemon AND cookies, yum! This was delicious and the cookie bits were a great texture with the bright lemon ice cream. I love Mitchell’s!
Single scoop $4
Humphry Slocombe, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this tasted great. I don’t always like the textures of their ice cream at Humphry Slocombe but this was good. The peanut butter and curry were an interesting combination, but it was surprising tasty!
Single scoop $4
Justin’s Ice Cream Company, San Antonio TX
How can you go wrong with boozy ice cream – noms! This tasted great and it had a great milky texture that was on the denser side.
Single scoop $3.50
Three Twins Ice Cream, Larkspur CA
Mmm! How can you go wrong with lemon and gingerbread?! I love lemon ice cream so this was a real treat for me.
Mount Tam.
Teensy scoop $2.50
Three Twins Ice Cream, Larkspur CA
I really like Three Twins ice cream. It has a nice medium consistency that’s not too milky or too dense, and the flavors are great. Here in San Francisco, you can also buy the ice cream at the grocery stores. This mocha flavor was yummy!
