a) Humphrey Slocombe (SF)
1 – secret breakfast is the killer flavor
2 – try the iberico ham flavor if it’s in that day
3 – every once in awhile, they have foie gras

b) Bi-Rite
1 – the ginger ice cream, hidden these days under the counter for some odd reason, is by far the best

The proprietor, Josh, uses only the purest, locally sourced ingredients. After tasting his Stumptown Coffee ice cream, I won't have any other. (Sad because I live 3000 miles away on the east coast of the USA, ... Bluebird is on the west coast.) For this flavor, he uses the "Hairbender Blend" coffee beans from Stumptown Coffee Roasters, a micro-roaster a couple blocks away from Bluebird. Bluebird also has STOUT FLAVORED ICE CREAM using product from the Elysian Brewery Restaurant and microbrewery next door. Elysian has astoundingly good food and SEVERAL ooutrageously good brews on tap, that IMHO rival some of the memorable brews I've had in Europe. Bluebird is making Night Owl Pumpkin Ale ice cream today for Elyssian's Fall Festival. Bluebird's all-star line up also includes Chocolate Pudding Ice Cream, Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter (best I've ever tasted!), vegan Coconut Chocolate Chip Mint, and Grapefruit Ginger Mint Sorbet. If you think about it, when you fly the great circle route, Seattle is really close to Ireland! Go for it!
