There are way too many excellent ice cream parlors to fit into two short videos so here is the next-to-final list I worked from to get it down to the 6: (Not in ranking order) Bi-Rite Creamery Mr. & Mrs. Miscellaneous Humphry Slocombe Smitten Ice Cream Mitchell’s Polly Ann Ice Cream Garden Creamery San Francisco’s Hometown Creamery The Ice Cream Bar Swensen’s Milkbomb Ice Cream Marco Polo Italian Ice Cream Lush Gelato Note my criteria was the shop had to be San Francisco based and make their own ice cream so this excluded the current pop hit Salt and Straw which originates in Oregon.
I went to a cafe ice cream shop in Japantown that offered a layered Asian sundae with red beans, mochi, and other offerings. It was called a Geisha float. I haven’t had it anywhere else in N. CA.
I was born in SF and grew up in Silicon Valley. This list wouldn't be complete without MITCHELL'S!!!! Every time I visit the Bay Area I always go back there. Real San Franciscans remember MITCHELL'S!!!
I believe that I had Mitchell's ice cream when I was a kid living in San Francisco, which leads me to a question, did you grow up in San Francisco? I am enjoying watching your rating videos, first time watcher.
@@ZeeneInRealLife I came to San Francisco from Detroit when I was around 15 and went to Herbert Hoover Jr. High, so also not born there, but still fell in love with the city and the multi-cultural atmosphere. I periodically check in on its heartbeat, hence viewing your videos.
i love all your videos. I will be visiting SF in early August as a solo traveler and I am really looking forward to the trip. Thank you for all the tips, many of which i have noted. Blessings......
I would love to try these ice creams! I live in the Bay Area/San Francisco. I had Mitchell’s Halo-Halo, it was so good! I was also want to try the other ice cream shops you recommended! 😋
Of all the things I miss about the Bay Area Mitchells rates among the most missed. I loved them because they sold gallons of it at my local grocer in San Mateo.
Wow. This video is so awesome. I’ve put Mitchell’s on our list. I would love to try the halo halo sunday. But the other shops looked great as well! ☺️🤩
How are you...which like this Philippines mango ice cream excellent delicious...even eating your face so gorgeous...after time if i must try ice cream... also halohalo because my Philippines girlfriend to tell me absolutely tolk to me...i wonder halohalo ice cream...can yo tell me halohalo ice cream?
I think they are - I read an article they are scooping...give them a call, you might be in luck! A covid-19 flavor would be hilarious. Stale air flavor from being shut in so long...or bread flavor since everyone seemed to be on a baking craze for awhile. 😂
Not an ice cream question but how do you compensate backlight when you're sitting in front of a window? Usually the scenes without any fill light come out too dark and it doesn't look like you lug around a full lighting kit 😉
Hey there! I just shoot with an iPhone and mic :) Usually I try to find a natural source of fill light. In a restaurant it could be a light above me. Sometimes I say screw it and and just let the background get overexposed!

@@Cmon_Nah123 perhaps Matcha Maiko? They do have excellent desserts!
You give great videos about San Francisco
Love iceceeam, dulce de leche is manjar in Chile, really popular in deserts
Smitten is still the best ice cream I had since I tried the Maraş ice cream in Turkey!
I've seen videos of the Turkish ice cream and would love to try it!
Looks like Ice-Cream Heaven there! It’s my favorite desert!

For me when I was a teenager : beach, country club, going to friend’s places and eat coxinha
Sounded like a fun time :) coxinha - yum!

Hi David, I was not born here but have been a resident for quite awhile :)

Thank you so much and hope you have an awesome trip!

I like Gelato but I believe I'm Lactose Intolerant so I don't eat Ice cream all the time
Sorry to hear :( Stick with the sorbettos! There are some great flavors and you won't even miss the ice cream.
Also check out "I scream" in Berkeley and "Fairfax Scoop" in Fairfax.
Thanks for the recommendations! I don't know these so will have to give them a try! 🍦
Fairfax Scoop is awesome! 😋
I would love to try these ice creams! I live in the Bay Area/San Francisco. I had Mitchell’s Halo-Halo, it was so good! I was also want to try the other ice cream shops you recommended! 😋
They are all fantastic! Have you seen my part 2?🍦

My mouth is watering thinking about their mango ice cream!
Wow. This video is so awesome. I’ve put Mitchell’s on our list. I would love to try the halo halo sunday. But the other shops looked great as well! ☺️🤩
You’re videos are very professional. Do you have an television background?

Yes! Agreed - I cover it in part 2 :)
I love Mitchell's! Halo Halo and Grasshopper Pie are my favorites.
Ooooh...have to try the Grasshopper Pie!! Sounds delish. 😋😋😋
@@ZeeneInRealLife , I wish they were open. Maybe they'd invent a covid19 themed flavor.
