I read about this quirky guy, Jake Godby (pastry chef: Coi, Boulevard, Fifth Floor) that recently opened up an artisan ice cream shop in the Mission. What I remember from the article is that he tattooed 31 flavors on his arm before starting up this business venture and he also was going to serve bacon ice cream. I did not get to meet the brains behind all this ice cream magic but did get to taste me some prosciutto ice cream. Eck! No thanks! I'll stick with the other boring 30 flavors, thank you very much! The 1930s retro shop is featuring ice cream for grownups with flavors including salt & pepper, bourbon, dulce de leche, and yes my friends, foie gras! I savored the Blue Bottle vietnamese coffee and although not as good as Bi-Rite's Coffee Toffee I still licked my cup dry! They serve up 10-12 flavors a day and are soon extending their hours to 9pm everyday. Check out their website for a full list.
