A couple of weeks ago, Jason and I took a quick trip up to San Francisco to attend his cousin's wedding. We had very little time for exploring the city but I did manage to sneak in a quick ice cream break at Humphry Slocombe with Joanne. Yes, she just so happened to be in the city as well! Traveling with friends really is the best, isn't it?
When it comes to ice cream, San Francisco simply does it right. It's hard for me not to visit Bi-Rite Creamery when I'm in the city but my desire to experience Humphry Slocombe's inventive flavors definitely won me over!
I always love Black Sesame, and Slocombe's didn't dissapoint. It was nutty and strong, just like a good sesame ice cream should be. I also enjoyed the Vietnamese Coffee, Malted Dulce de Leche and boozy Secret Breakfast (bourbon & cornflakes)!
I ordered a single scoop of Harvey Milk + Honey, a super milky and creamy honey flavored ice cream that was as light and dreamy as you might imagine. I will probably spend far too many hours thinking about that flavor.
Joanne ordered a scoop of Jesus Juice, otherwise known as red wine and coke sorbet. Definitely not my favorite flavor but Joanne was pretty much obsessed.
Yes, San Francisco does ice cream very right indeed. Just another reason to love a great city and visit it more often. So, what flavor would you order?

Yum! But that last photo makes me want to cry. 😉

Ha! Don't be sad. We definitely got our ice cream fill that day. 😉

Nail color details please. Gorgeous color on you!

Sadly, I don't know the name of the red because it was a gel manicure. It's very close to my favorite OPI Red nail polish Big Apple Red however!

I can't believed I've lived in SF for so long without going here yet! Love these photos 🙂
Leah Bergman says
Thanks Rachel! Well, you will just have to go and have a double scoop (one for me).

Um YUM!! This post made me realize I have an ice cream issue as I got really emotional over that last photo - spilt ice cream is a sensitive subject apparently. I may need to seek help about this...
Leah Bergman says
Ha! Don't worry, I definitely got my ice cream fill. 😉

The Blue Bottle Vietnamese would have been a double with the Secret Breakfast! The photos are awesome and this is just another reason to visit San Francisco!
