9 Unforgettable Ice Cream Shops in the East Bay Perfect for Summer | Eater SF

"On any given day, expect to find a long line of cars patiently waiting to order at Meadowlark Dairy. At more than 100 years old, this quaint shop in Pleasanton is the Bay Area’s oldest ice cream drive-thru and is known for luscious, light, and never-too-sweet soft serve. You’ll always be able to find your classic standbys like chocolate or vanilla or more hard-to-find flavors like pineapple or orange. Before you pull up, be sure to check Instagram for daily specials like salted caramel, peach, and honey lavender. Sometimes ordering in the pedestrian line can be faster, but either way, peep their ice cream pint offerings to take one home. (Trust us, you’ll be glad you did.)" - Lena Park
