From classics like Preston’s and Loard’s to trendsetters, here are 10 of our favorite ice cream spots.
Co-owners and spouses Madhuri “Mads” Anji, left, and Priti Narayanan at Koolfi Creamery in San Leandro, where the Indian-inspired ice cream is churned on the premises. The vintage signs outside and the checkerboard floor inside are reason enough to put Preston’s on any list of beloved ice cream parlors. It’s a look that transports you to yesteryear.
Santiago is also keeping the ice cream tradition alive. The shop scoops 20 to 30 flavors of Loard’s ice cream , and he’s making the often-requested Presti Bars , ice cream sandwiched between two freshly baked cookies and covered in chocolate. The bars come in several flavors, including vanilla, burgundy cherry and espresso.The top seller is the Mint Chip ice cream, and it’s easy to see why.
Whipped cream is just the beginning. At Icicles, customers can ask for their rolled ice cream to be topped with fresh fruit, nuts, cereal, granola, lychee jelly, chocolate chips, caramel sauce and a dozen other options. Lines are long, because this is a labor-intensive process. But the result — thick ice cream that doesn’t melt quickly — makes the wait worthwhile.
