My 2nd post (1st post found below) on our eating tour in California is about our last final meal of the trip. For dinner, we ate at a small gourmet pizzeria in San Francisco. After sharing 5 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 3 pizza pies, we found ourselves, yet again, talking about our next meal, dessert of course.
Betsy and Joe decided they wanted to take us to get ice cream. Betsy right away suggested Humphry Slocombe while Joe insisted on Mitchells. John, Matt, Raquel, and I sat there stuffed as could be, not thinking we could fit another thing in our stomach. But as this conversation went on, our eyes lit up and we were immediately excited for what was to come. We went from a - 5 on the hungry scale to about a solid 9 while listening to the description of both places.
So the big question over dinner became...which place to go to? They went on for 25 minutes explaining the amazing crazy funky flavors at Humphry Slocombe and the deliciousness of Mitchells. They said HS was trendy while Mitchells was old fashion. Betsy said HS was like a new pair of expensive pumps that looked amazing but hurt while wearing them. She said Mitchells was like a really nice pair of sweatpants that you never want to come out of, which I thought had me sold, until Joe said, HS is every bakers dream. The more they explained, the harder it became to decide. They both sounded amazing. After going back and forth, they finally turned to us to ask what we wanted. After listening to that conversation, it was too hard to choose.
We finished our meal, paid the bill, and dreaded the decision we had to make until....Joe said he finally had an idea. He decided we would go to both!!!
Yes, we went to both....don't judge.
Both places were exactly how they explained. HS was amazing but very trendy and had the funkiest flavors.
Overall, our trip will go down in history as being one of the best vacations we've ever been on.

Mitchell's had more of an old fashion approach, but had combinations of flavors that you can't even imagine. I had a scoop of Grasshopper pie. It combined my favorite ingredients of Oreos, Fudge, and Mint ice cream. I also had a scoop of Claire's pie which was coffee, almonds, and some other deliciousness.
Lesson Learned: Never stress about choosing between two amazing ice cream places...GO TO BOTH!
