Oldest San Francisco: Mitchell's Ice Cream
from Crosscurrents · host KALW
It’s summertime! And with the high heat of Midsummer comes: National Ice Cream Month. So today, we’re bringing you one of our favorite ice cream stories. On a block at the edge of Noe Valley, there’s a three-story beige apartment building that almost always has a crowd in front of it – even on a cold day. It’s Mitchell’s Ice Cream, San Francisco’s oldest known family owned ice-cream maker. It’s been serving cones and sundaes from its shop on the building’s ground floor since 1953.
