I feel like we shouldn't even mention the Bi Rite Creamery in the Dolores Park neighborhood because judging by the length of the line around the block it is possible that everyone on the planet (or maybe the Bay Area) already knows. They must know about the artisan small batch charm and the local and organic focus. I'm sure they know about the swoon inducing array of fabulous flavors. Our favorites include mint chip, ritual roasters coffee toffee, salted caramel, and something we can't remember exactly but had provocative hints in the title like "malted, cookie bits, vanilla...." You probably get the idea!
This place is a must see, taste and smell. It is gang busters on the weekends and in the evenings, so if you can sneak away from the desk or maybe call in sick, weekdays are a great time to visit. If you are like us the decision can be somewhat torturous, but in a good way. Not like choosing between having your teeth cleaned or doing your taxes, more like choosing which slice of heaven you want to experience today. Hint: a wicked good place to start--coffee toffee on top of mexican chocolate in a cone.
If you can pull yourself away from the ice cream, not as easy as you might think, the fresh fruit popsicles are to die for. They always have 1 or 2 flavors showcasing the week's hot ticket at the farmer's markets. Last week there were 2: pluot and melon. We have also seen concord grape recently. If you go there, let us know!

This is sooo fabulous! What a beautiful way to spread your love for food and life with the greater community. I just know that all you want and desire will manifest themselves as deliciously as the food you make and eat everyday.
Many many sweet kisses and hugs,

ps: have you had raw ice cream yet? At Pure Food and Wine (NYC), they make the most amazing mint chip ice cream sundaes. The ice cream is a young coconut and cashew base topped with raw chocolate fudge sauce and whipped cashew cream. TO DIE FOR!!!
This blog keeps getting closer and closer to divinity-- not only is it a kitchen (and life) inspirational/instructional, but it highlights the local haunts that share a similar vision. What a generosity of spirit! If this doesn't lead you down the road to lucrative food reviewing, or cooking in Oprah's kitchen, I'll eat my Mexican chocolate-flavored hat.
I am loving your blog!!! And, wow, as I sit here eating dry cereal out of the box, I would do just about anything for some of your cooking!...or an ice cream cone from this place :). Love this blog and can't wait to keep checking it out for cooking inspiration...
Love you guys!
Hillary (and Stella!)
