Go to this Financial District dessert counter for loaded kakigori - Review - San Francisco - The Infatuation
"It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the near-infinite sauces, toppings, and gelato flavors on the build-your-own menu at MadLab, a kakigori counter that shares a space with Cafe Sebastian inside the Transamerica Pyramid. When you start hearing the chorus of impatient throat clearing as the line grows behind you, pick one of the six solid pre-set options: generous foundations of gelato (from one of our favorites, Gio Gelati) topped with a mound of freshly shaved ice that’s soaked in syrup and crowned with whipped cream, sprinkles, or even a poofy cloud of cotton candy. The piña colada version in particular is punchy and well-balanced. Or go with the OG Itameshi, which is sweeter and equally as dialed with a rich pistachio gelato and cherry lilikoi syrup. (Just skip the bland Zen Matcha.) There’s always a free seat, but typically only one person is making the kakigori, so expect a wait. video credit: Patrick Wong" - Patrick Wong
