Small-batch organic ice cream with unique flavors like salted caramel
"Being Dolores Park-adjacent (and also churning out fantastic ice cream) means there’ll most likely be a line at Bi-Rite. But said lines move quickly, and it’s worth waiting to get some of their incredibly smooth soft serve or a scoop of their mainstay ice cream flavors like ricanelas, salted caramel, or cookies and cream. Whichever you choose, it's guaranteed to be perfectly creamy." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"This Mission creamery is an ice cream staple in the city, and for good reason. Bi-Rite makes drippy soft serve with a buffalo milk base that consistently sends us into a state of unadulterated bliss. We love their vanilla, but we love our cone even more with a chocolate swirl." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
"Small-batch, seasonal, hand-made, and local ice cream is the calling card at what might be San Francisco’s most popular scoop shop. Lines usually snake out the door and down the block, thanks to its prime location near Dolores Park. People often wait for a taste of salted caramel of balsamic strawberry, two of Bi-Rite’s most popular flavors, or the more unusual options like basil or honey lavender." - Paolo Bicchieri
"One of our favorite daytime dates involves a meet-up at Bi-Rite Creamery. Get all the small talk out of the way while waiting in line, and, after deciding between salted caramel and ricanelas, stroll through Dolores Park to people watch. Establish your scoop sharing dynamic and how you feel about the Truffle Man, then think about if you want to get ice cream with them again, and go from there." - will kamensky
"Rather than a dedicated Bi‑Rite Creamery window that locals might have adored, the market stocks a robust selection of the creamery’s ice cream pints—including flavors like balsamic strawberry, salted caramel, and black sesame—and also carries ice cream cakes for special occasions; the creamery is described as popular in its own right." - Dianne de Guzman
