"If you, too, get pie slicing anxiety, the fine folks at Humphry Slocombe have a solution for you. The ice cream purveyors are selling ice cream, of course — including some seasonal flavors perfect for the holidays — but they’re also selling duck fat mini pecan pies. The mini pies will be released at the start of November, so watch the Humphry Slocombe site for the launch." - Dianne de Guzman
"Get your weird on with experimental flavors at this crazy-popular ice cream destination that’s been expanding throughout the Bay Area. The most-talked-about flavor is Secret Breakfast, made with vanilla, cornflake cookies, and Jim Beam bourbon, but there’s no shortage of wacky options to explore from evil ice cream genius Jake Godby. The Ferry Building is an excellent location to sample Humphry’s wares, or diehards can visit the original shop at 2790 Harrison Street in the Mission." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
"For creative flavors like Secret Breakfast (bourbon ice cream with corn flakes) or Cornflake Crunch (cereal milk ice cream with cornflake cookies), head to Humphry Slocombe. We like stopping by the Ferry Building location and creating our own sundae with their house-made bourbon caramel or hot fudge before eating it on a nearby bench by the bay. Humphry Slocombe also has an ice cream shop in the Mission, but you can also find pints at a bunch of grocery stores around the city." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"At this Bay Area ice cream shop, flavors range from dressed-up classics like Tahitian Vanilla and Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee to newer innovations like Mango Lassi, Secret Breakfast, and Hibiscus Beet Sorbet." - Alina Polishuk
"Believe it or not, but there was a time not long ago when local ice cream was restricted to straightforward flavors like mint chip or praline. All that changed in 2008, when Jake Godby and Sean Vahey opened this impish parlor where Secret Breakfast (bourbon and toasted corn flakes) has reigned supreme ever since. After numerous partnerships with drag performers, LGBTQ-honoring flavors like Harvey Milk and Honey Graham, and off-the-wall experiments like a “Government Cheese” flavor, Humphry Slocombe offers 12 invariably excellent flavors daily, from passion fruit milk chocolate to “Here’s Your Damn Strawberry.” A word to the wise: Tahitian Vanilla is the richest vanilla anywhere, and it makes your second scoop pop." - Peter Astrid Kane
