"You know things are getting serious when the soft serve is freckled with real vanilla bean. Sabine's mellow, custardy showing is a summer staple—and when swirled with the sidekick of the moment, like creamy chocolate tahini or strawberry sumac, it eats like a frozen peanut butter cup or strawberry shortcake, respectively. It's not too sweet nor too rich, perfect for breaking up an afternoon of shopping up and down Ballard Ave." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
