Bi-Rite Creamery & Bakeshop
Hopefully, the cold and rain are behind us now … at least for a little while. Not that bad weather would stop me from dropping in for a couple of scoops at Bi-Rite Creamery & Bakeshop.
Brought to you by the folks behind the popular Bi-Rite Market (just across the street), the creamery specializes in small-batch, artisanal ice creams, sorbets and baked goods. In addition to a cone (or bowl), you can order up an ice-cream sandwich (mmmm … ginger snap cookies with pumpkin ice cream), sundaes, popsicles, banana splits, brownies, ice-cream pies and cakes, cookies and even cupcakes.
With flavors like Double Ginger, Chai-Spiced Milk Chocolate and Honey Lavender, there simply is no substitute for this place when an ice-cream craving hits you. My favorites: Roasted Banana and Salted Caramel. Since Bi-Rite uses seasonal ingredients, the menu does change — but don’t worry, it’ll never disappoint.
Tip: The creamery is closed on Wednesdays.
