Top 10 Ice Cream in San Francisco/Bay Area

We didn't realize how refreshing a summer beer or summer wine could be until we were much older, but our cravings for ice cream started as soon as we recognized the jingle of the ice cream truck that cruised through our neighborhood once temperatures climbed. We know there's nothing better than savoring something cold and sweet on a hot day, although we've also been known to indulge in a bowl of frozen confection when it's freezing outside. Get the scoop on the top 10 parlors and restaurants in San Francisco/Bay Area, presented in alphabetical order, that dish out the best ice cream, frozen yogurt, gelato and many more varieties of this summery treat.

Anchor & Hope

Review of the Week

Anchor & Hope is a sophisticated version of a fish house from the trio behind Town Hall. Chefs Mitchell and Steve Rosenthal excel at comfort foods like fish 'n' chips as well as more sophisticated selections such as mussel and monkfish stew with chunks of chorizo. After your meal, make it a Dinner and a Movie night with one of our featured films.
