The 32 Essential St. Louis Restaurants

"There is a mystical allure to Sugarwitch, the Carondelet neighborhood shop crafting ice cream sandwiches inspired by, and named after, “bad-ass witches from literature and lore.” Novelties like the Ursula — miso ice cream paired with milk chocolate chip blondies — and the Nerissa — a combination of spiced apple crumble ice cream and oatmeal pie crust — are clever and delicious sweet treats. The business is owned and operated by Martha Bass and her wife, Sophie Mendelson, and the two hold degrees from Yale, Johns Hopkins, and Washington University in sustainable food systems, regional food economies, and environmental sustainability; they have built their business guided by a commitment to forming equitable food systems." - Holly Fann
