Smitten Ice Cream

Ice cream shop · Hayes Valley

"If the excitement of dining at a chef’s counter is your idea of a good time, head to Smitten where the ice cream is made at all locations in front of you in about 90 seconds, using liquid nitrogen for a smoother, denser cream. Owner Robyn Sue Fisher created and patented the machine herself, which churns out flavors like salted caramel and chocolate ganache as well as seasonal options." - Dianne de Guzman, Stefanie Tuder, Eater Staff
