"Ernest in the Mission is the go-to for super fresh seafood and Asian-influenced dishes fried rice with andouille sausage and poached shrimp, or uni toast with jamon. But you’re reading this guide for the soft serve—and the one here is top-tier. The toppings change, but one we’ve had is covered in a crunchy hazelnut sauce and then drenched with a chocolate magic shell that’s poured tableside. The vanilla soft serve itself is perfect—smooth and thick, but not too sweet—and getting it is an ideal way to finish off your incredible meal." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
