San Francisco's Hometown Creamery

Ice cream shop · Inner Sunset

@infatuation

"This spot in the Inner Sunset (with another location in Hayes Valley after taking over a former Smitten Ice Cream outpost) makes their ice cream in small batches, with house-made ingredients—and the effort shines through. We like the mint chip, which is incredibly light, made with fresh mint, and is a menu mainstay. Hometown Creamery also has excellent rotating flavors, like coffee and donuts or honey berry breakfast. Another plus: you can order “smidges,” golf ball-sized scoops that are perfect if you want to try a bunch of different flavors without needing to bust out the Lactaid." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
