"It’s an ice cream moment in the Bay Area. The options are seemingly endless, but Hila stands out for the simple fact that one of the shop’s co-owners ran a gelato shop in Sicily before moving to San Francisco. Hila scoops gelato into croissants to make sweet and buttery ice cream sandwiches while dropping dollops alongside espresso for affogato. While the weather is warm, get a cannoli stuffed with mint chocolate gelato for a stroll down Valencia Street." - Paolo Bicchieri
