FOODIE FRIDAYS: BI-RITE CREAMERY

I can't remember the name of this flavour... my apologies!

Salted Caramel & Earl Grey Tea

Bi-Rite Creamery
3692 18th St.
San Francisco, CA 94110

Most of us in the state of California are experiencing an Indian Summer right now. The summer weather that didn't show during the actual summer months has come back with a mean vengeance. What better way to fight the heat than get some delicious ice cream? Bi-Rite Creamery is, by far, my favourite ice cream shop in the world. They've got unique flavours that rotate every day of the week. My flavours of choice are their renown Salted Caramel and Earl Grey Tea. I've only ever seen Earl Grey on the list once... so sad that it hasn't come back since the last time I tried it! If you live in or are visiting in San Francisco, I'd highly suggest heading over to Bi-Rite for some ice cream. If it tickles your fancy, you can also walk right over to Dolores Park to enjoy your cold treat. Head up to the top of the hill for a breathtaking view of the city! Have you ever been to Bi-Rite?

FOODIE FRIDAYS: MOCHILATO

Mochilato
14310 Culver Dr., Ste. E
Irvine, CA 92604
(949) 559-1116

I discovered Mochilato in Irvine about a year ago on a drive back to San Diego from Los Angeles. If you're a lover of Asian treats or just an ice cream/gelato fanatic, you should definitely check this place out! Mochilato takes the popular snack and froyo topper, Japanese rice cakes called "mochis", and combines it with tons of different flavours of gelato to give you Mochilatos: delicious bite-sized morsels of gelato wrapped in a thin layer of mochi. They have a wide variety of flavours to choose from - I've yet to try all of them!
