    Bi-Rite Creamery

    Velvet ropes at clubs seem pretentious in laid-back San Francisco, but at organic Bi-Rite Creamery they make perfect sense: as soon as SF temperatures nudge past 70 degrees, the line wraps around the corner for legendary salted caramel ice cream with housemade hot fudge. Also worth the wait is the Sonoma honey-lavender ice cream packed into an organic waffle cone – but for a quicker fix, try the balsamic strawberry soft serve at the soft-serve window (open 1pm to 9pm daily).
