Ice Cream I'd Drive Across Town For

Mitchell’s is a local institution with tons of classic and exotic flavors.  Ben always brings home a gallon of the orange sherbet, and Mom likes mango (their #1 seller).

Smitten uses liquid nitrogen to make each serving to order. Just a limited number of flavors each day, but they're all fresh and delicious.

I'm partial to Humphry Slocombe's Secret Breakfast, the only flavor they sell everyday.  Famous for unexpectedly good flavor mashups. 

I finally tried Bi-Rite, and I'm happy to add it to the list.  It's always got a line out the door.  The original location is off Dolores Park in the Mission, but there's a new location at Divisadero and Fell (next to NOPA) and that may have the smaller line/crowds.  The ice cream counter is on the right side of the store as you enter, but the line forms outside. It's part of a small market of other gorgeously tasty foods - including an awesome selection of cheeses, meats, produce, etc  Bring your wallet.
