It was a really good flavour (with lots of poppyseeds to get stuck in my teeth and get me busted at work for opium-use), too.

Weekends were made for Baseball... and Ice Cream!

A scoop of
Lemon-Poppyseed and a scoop of Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge.


(They do not even show their menu updated with the
Lemon-Poppyseed yet.)
That Chocolate Fudge Sauce looks so smooth it would melt in your mouth. I would have that with the Madgascar Vanilla Ice Cream.

It was so nice out this afternoon (well, upper 60's) that it was a two-scoop kinda day...

Scoop #1:
Lychee
Scoop #Too: Sweet Red Bean Mochi

Both of these were really good. The Red Bean one even had bits of real Mochi throughout it.

I probably shouldn't have (and I probably will skip dinner because of it), but I had four scoops of Ice Cream this afternoon (and all within the same hour... I think I have a problem... I just hope the problem is not diabetes).

Scoops 1 and 2 from Philmore Creamery:

Honey-Lavender and Mascarpone Cherry Swirl

Scoops 3 and 4 from Salt & Straw:
Day Old Bread Pudding and
Lemon Curd & Whey



These were all good, but if I am ranking them, it would be pretty much in the order I have numbered above. The
Honey-Lavender from Philmore was truly out-standing! It had such a great flavour and was super creamy.

I was a bit disappointed with the choices at Salt & Straw. I checked on-line prior to heading over there and the two flavours that I was really interested in trying ~
Passionfruit Yuzu Mochi Donuts & Whey Curd and Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip Banana Bread ~ they had already run out of for the month. The two I ended up going with are not even mentioned on their web-site.

Even though it is a foggy, overcast afternoon... it was still a 2 Scoops kinda day.

Scoop One: Raspberry Cheesecake (I just had this one a few weeks [months?] back, but it was really good then, too)
Scoop Two: Salted
Caramel (I haven't had this flavour of theirs in a long time and I felt it would pair well with Scoop One; I was not disappointed)

Another two-scoops kinda day.

Scoop #1: Sweet Red Bean Mochi (with real bits of mochi throughout)
Scoop #2: Dalgona Coffee (some kinda Korean Iced Coffee flavour)


Surprisingly, these two flavours played very well together.

My sister should take me there. Is this in the Richmond District of San Francisco?

Yes, it is right along Geary Boulevard (aka Richmond Main Street). They also do a nice little diner food service, too.

The temperature reached the upper 70's again for the second day in a row... so, of course, that called for a two-scoops kinda day!

Scoop #1:

Mango Sticky Rice (with bits of mango and real sticky rice in it; this was "wicked good!")


(They do not show this flavour in their "Rotation", though.)

Scoop #2:
New York Cherry (this was good, but the cherries used were just plain ol' maraschino)

I'll take the New York Cherry flavour.
