Dick and I had dinner in Hayes Valley this evening (yummy sushi at Doma!). We walked around the neighborhood for a bit afterwards, and quickly realized just how close we were to Smittens Ice Cream!
Smittens is a *tiny* ice cream shop on Octavia Street. The shop is actually a recycled shipping container! Their ice-cream is actually made by scratch - to order!! They use a special "Kelvin Ice Cream Machine" which uses liquid nitrogen to make each scoop by scratch, to order! They literally pour in the ingredients - be it cream, sugar, butter, fruit, etc,. and make it right in front of you.

Their menu changes daily. I had a hard time deciding between salted caramel, strawberry, or vanilla. (I've had the chocolate before, and it was AMAZING!) I decided on the strawberry when I found out that it isn't offered very often.
Today's menu
Here's a cool video showing the process of how they make their strawberry ice cream!
So cool!
