happy endings

The perfect ending to a dinner in the Mission is a trip to Bi-Rite Creamery by Dolores Park...

pick your sweet poison
kid in a candy store
tonight's choice: honey lavender and salted caramel
The salted caramel is always good and most likely the flavor that put this creamery on the map. Sweet but not overly sweet, with a hint of burnt sugar that gives the ice cream an incredible richness. So yummy.

Honey lavender was my experiment of the night and it was quite nice. I thought the lavender overpowered the honey - after all, lavender is a strong scent. I was initially wary of this flavor as I have found that I don't like eating rose-flavored anything but Tater promised that Bi-Rite's honey lavender was top notch. And I have to agree: even though the lavender overshadows the honey, the ice cream is refreshing and strangely therapeutic.

But don't give lavender all the credit! After all, we are eating ice cream...

tilt!
