    Half mint chocolate chip and caramel
    Liann A.

    Located in downtown San Anselmo is this cute little Gelato spot that has over 40 flavors! Perfect for a nice afternoon with close parks to enjoy your gelato. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and I asked what was the most popular and the worker said they're all good. Our group all did a small cup but halved the flavors we all happen to get half mint chocolate chip and all got another flavor. I got this chocolate caramel that had some chunks of chocolate, SOO GOOD. Another person got pistachio, and the other person got another vanilla mix one. So good and a great treat for the kids too. They have cones but cups are less messy on a hot day. Perfect for dessert in the town and on a hot day! Parking isn't too bad, there's street parking and neighborhood parking, kind of tight but also a great place to walk around.

    So-so gelato and cold customer service. They do accept credit cards. No samples. The back seating area is pretty cute with a view of the creek. It is fairly...messy...I'm not sure when the last time the whole place was deep cleaned. Overall not sure we'll be back, since there are other options in the area.

    The gelato is spot on and the place has a very cozy feel. The back seating is amazing and the windows cracked open with the fresh pine/forest air really puts the cherry on top. I love everything about this place and I love the overlook on the creek. And after reading the other reviews I had the hispanic lady today and she was very kind. She let me sample 2 icecreams and I ultimately picked the hazelnut chocolate. The ice-cream was nice and cold and stretchy just how gelato is supposed to be. Today the experience was nice and relaxing with her.

    Medium cup- Burgundy cherry and almond mocha fudge

    After my lunch, I drove here to look for my two friends Indiana Jones and Yoda at the Imagination Park, then I decided what a nice sunny day, and I said ooh look a gelato place! When I walked past this gelato place and peered inside it was closed. :( As I was walking away to look at some art by the cross bridge, an elderly gentleman came towards me and asked if I wanted ice cream and I said yes, but the place is closed. He said I can open it up for you just wait. I said ok! :) I asked him what flavors are most popular and he said all the flavors listed on the window outside are all popular. So I randomly chose the Burgundy cherry and the almond mocha fudge. He said do you want medium size cup, I said sure! I will splurge why not! LOL The cherry was perfect flavor and texture! If you like lots of nuts then the Almond Mocha Fudge is for you. It was a miss for me, I probably should have gone for a flavor with less stuff inside the gelato like the lemon or ginger flavors. If I come back this way, I'll try other flavors for sure!

Banh mi Ba was closed today because they aren't open on Tuesday so I decided to get a sandwich from the Good Earth deli. It was meant to be a tofu banh mi -- It was on sourdough baguette with a pair of massive slabs of baked tofu. I give them credit for the delicious Japanese style pickle, but there simply wasn't enough of it and the scanty slices of daikon were OK, but ultimately this was better as a salad without the bread and added vinaigrette myself. Those chunks of tofu were undeniably tofu, but it was just not a great sandwich experience. The funny thing is, I had asked a couple of men dining outside the grocery store. If there was anything they recommended at the deli. They both told me what they had ordered and suggested requesting extra barbecue sauce for the brisket because it's quite dry. I was not expecting my tofu sandwich to be so dry but also soggy. I'll stick with Banh mi Ba for my banh mi -- and try other things at good earth going forward. Also, I just want to note that last November on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, my tire was vandalized by somebody who stuck a knife into it twice in on purpose purposes of the sidewall. They do not have cameras on the parking lot and even Fairfax police said "oh well we can't take reports for things that happened on private property" which honestly makes me wonder what they do when somebody breaks into a house or does something on "private" property. Does that mean laws are not enforced on private property in Fairfax? Stay tuned.

The store is generally clean, but it's very small, and just a few customers can make it feel really crowded. Compared to other 7-Elevens this store is better than average, and I'm grateful to have it in the area, but it's not worthy of five stars. Really a 3.5 - but there are no half stars on Yelp, so I rounded up to 4.

When I nicely told the cashier, he just said the price was wrong and blamed it on the company for the wrong price. He then proceeded to tell me that the price I saw was probably for a different container of ice cream. I told him it wasn't. The price said $3.49 for a pint of the Twix ice cream, but rang up as $3.69. It's only 20 cents, but it still feels wrong. Plus he didn't apologize for the price discrepancy, nor did he offer to match the price that was listed in the store. And I wasn't even being a jerk about it; I was just informing him that the price was incorrect. Anyway, the woman behind me was also purchasing ice cream. She asked if she'd get her ice cream for free if it also rang up wrong. Lol I likely won't go to 7-11 again. It was just a hot day that called for ice cream. Why the 2 stars instead of just 1? Well, the cashier was a jerk and didn't bother to even say hello, but the store (albeit small) was clean and organized inside.
