Off to Fentons

When I posted Fentons a few weeks ago (see post), Jeff started craving it and that immediately made me start to want it too. Even now, as I type this, I'm questioning whether I should pay Fentons another visit.

That same night I posted about Fentons, we went and satisfied our cravings.

Jason and I decided to share a "create your own" sundae with coffee cookie dream and cream caramel almond crunch ice cream. The sundae was topped with hot fudge and caramel, strawberries, nuts, whipped cream and of course, a cherry on top.

We were debating on whether we should get a regular (1-2 flavors with 1-2 toppings) or large sundae (1-3 flavors with 1-3 toppings) to share. I claimed the large was too much and too gut-busting for us, but I lost and as you can see.....we wiped the dish clean. :P

So good. The hot fudge and caramel had the right consistency and was a perfect compliment to the cold ice cream. The "fresh" strawberries were nice, but I could have done without it.

All this talk is making me want Fentons again. Must. Stop. Craving. It's too late for ice cream!

115-Year-Old Ice Cream Parlor

After all the savory dishes at Geta Sushi (see previous post), my sweet tooth kicked in.

We walked up the street to the popular ice cream parlor, Fentons. I went to the Pleasant Hill location (now closed) often when I was a kid, so this place is a little bit nostalgic, like in the amazing movie, Up.

Fentons was founded in 1894 and all their ice cream is handmade with fresh ingredients. The ice cream texture is rich, creamy and gooey. You can tell they use whole milk and they don't skimp on portions, so dieters beware! You'll have to go to the gym for an extra hour or two. ;)

Jason and Jeff got scoops of coffee cookie dream - coffee ice cream with Oreo cookies AND cookie dough. It was a perfect combination considering I love coffee ice cream and Oreo cookies. I'm not that big on cookie dough, but it was still delicious.

Not wanting to copy them and to try something different, I got a scoop of strawberry cheesecake. The vanilla ice cream was creamy with swirls of fresh strawberries and syrup.

All this talk about ice cream makes me want some now. If only San Francisco weather wasn't so gloomy today...
