This classic creamery’s reputation isn’t just hype: every Bi-Rite scoop is handmade in small batches with local ingredients, and all of the toppings and mix-ins—which include cookie crumbles and marshmallow fluff—are concocted in-house. For the ultimate Bi-Rite experience, look no further than the Trifecta. This holy trinity of the creamery’s most popular flavors combines sweet-savory salted caramel, brown sugar swirled with ribbons of ginger caramel, and malted vanilla with crunchy bursts of chocolate and peanut brittle. If the line around the block is a deal breaker, we have good news: there’s a second scoop shop inside Bi-Rite Divisadero.
As the city that invented both the fortune cookie and introduced Irish coffee to America, San Francisco has after-dinner vittles on lock.

San Francisco has everything from classic scoops of ice cream to Italian delicacies, and we tasked ourselves with finding the most creative (donut burger, anyone?), satisfying and delicious treats for every sweet tooth. You're welcome.
