Bi-Rite or Bust

The ice cream tour continues.  Here's part two of the saga: from Mitchell's to Bi-Rite Creamery; Noe Valley to the Mission.


The kid-sized scoops at Mitchell's whetted our appetites for more ice cream.  As you may have seen from my Google map, we headed up Guerrero to 18th in order to get to our second stop, Bi-Rite.  The walk up Guerrero was quite invigorating, as it gets pretty steep in places.  This street is also home to some amazing houses, such as these two beauties above.  They made us think of Disneyland--high praise when coming from a member of our Disney-obsessed family.

Now, Bi-Rite was the only shop on the tour that we'd been to before.  It has basically become the pinnacle of ice cream for us, so I had to include it.  Karie was dead set on getting her signature flavor, Salted Caramel, but I decided I needed to try a brand new flavor, so I got the Cherry Almond.  Sam chose Roasted Banana with a peanut brittle topping.


Consensus:  AMAZING ICE CREAM.  Not a surprise.  The Salted Caramel was as delicious as ever.  I loved the creaminess of the Cherry Almond, along with the frozen cherries inside.  Sam's concoction was to die for.


Stopping at our favorite ice cream shop was not a mistake.


Next:  we make our way through the Mission to Humphry Slocombe.
