"The latest Bay Area branch of eccentric Portland-founded ice cream maker Salt & Straw opens this (Black) Friday, November 23. It stocks holiday flavors like gingerbread cookie dough and peppermint bark. Designed by Andee Hess of Osmose Design, it's the brand's fourth Bay Area location, following Pac Heights, Hayes Valley, and Burlingame. Year-round flavors include Dandelion Chocolate hazelnut cookies and cream, and Cowgirl Creamery Mt. Tam cheese with Acme Bread and sour cherry jam." - Caleb Pershan
