"Tucker’s has been Alameda’s sweet treat stop since 1941, and still hosts endless date nights, post-soccer game hangs, and birthday parties. Their mantra, “Life is uncertain, eat dessert first,” is written on the wall above the register—it's the kind of peer pressure we don't mind giving in to. They’re pumping out fresh waffle cones and thick scoops of ice cream daily (when in doubt, go cookie mint crunch). And while you wait, take part in another quintessential Alameda activity: perusing the wall of Tucker’s-sponsored youth sports team plaques on the wall to see if you happen to recognize anyone." - Julia Chen
