Snoberg is a standard frozen yogurt spot to satisfy your craving…read more After finishing up dinner, there were limited dessert spots open on Saturday evening before a show. For something simple and quick, Snoberg was the perfect spot. As part of the Saluhall, you could also order food from other spots in the area and drop by for dessert. Looking back, Snoberg used to be strictly vegan options. However, the menu has changed to include a dairy option for the chocolate and vanilla using Straus milk. As expected, the quality was great with smooth creaminess. I was glad that the serving was pretty substantial and that we were able to add toppings at no extra cost because at $7, it was already not cheap! We also asked to sample the vegan options which were strawberry and pineapple. These are also good with the pineapple reminding me of Dole Whip! Overall, while it is a little pricey, it has a high quality product in a place with plenty of seating to enjoy!

It's a simple setup--usually just a few flavors to choose from, though with a lot of toppings available. Early on there were sometimes be long queue's but I think that's gotten better as the initial excitement of the foodhall wore off and they figured out the right staffing model. If you need to, there's plenty of seating around to enjoy your soft serve on-site but I'd recommend taking a stroll downtown if it's a sunny day. Get some people watching in and satisfy your sweet tooth in one go!

Finally got to try this little gem of an ice cream shop and it was definitely worth the wait! They…read morehave a great selection of Indian flavored ice creams as well as traditional flavors. We stopped by after a long bike ride and it was the perfect treat for a Sunday afternoon. The place was lively and quaint at the same time. It was Pride month and Koolfi Creamery was celebrating in style, with decorations of rainbow flags. They were even passing out a variety of rainbow designed stickers. It's a family run business and you'll feel the love in their quality of ice cream. The service was impeccable. The space was bright and welcoming, as well as the staff. There's indoor and outdoor seating for large groups. It's a family friendly and group friendly space to hang out in and enjoy your ice cream. Priti and her father were so sweet and helped us with our order. We got: Single Scoop - Mango Shrikhand Triple Scoop w/ Waffle Cone - Salted Caramel Mysore Pak, Burgundy Cherry Chocolate, Lotus & Rose One Pint to Go - Mango Lassi Everything tasted delicious! I especially liked starting off with the Mysore Pak in the Salted Caramel, which gave it depth and an extra sweet texture crunch. The Burgundy Cherry was so fresh with a nice balance of chocolate. The Lotus & Rose was tasty and calming - a great way to finish my cone. I am usually particular of how I want my flavors stacked, but didn't say a word and Priti (the ice cream connoisseur and the ice cream maker), knew exactly what order of flavor to place in my triple scoop, because she knew the consistency and the flavor pairing of my trio well. It was a beautiful and very tasty ice cream tower, that was good til the last lick and didn't not fall! No ice cream wasted. We were very happy with our experience at Koolfi Creamery and it's a special place that brings joy to many. We will be back in the future!

I've been looking forward to try Koolfi Creamery for a while, and I finally had the chance to visit…read morewith my friend when we were grabbing dinner in FiDi. Nestled in an alleyway between office buildings, Koolfi was quiet - but, thankfully, still open - on a Friday evening. The shop was scooping some unique flavors that I haven't seen anywhere else: "malai" koolfi, bond ladoo, mango lassi, and Indian coffee + chicory. I sampled the "malai" koolfi and mango lassi - and loved both flavors so much that I ordered a double scoop. Our server recommended the dosa cone vs. the waffle cone, and I'm glad I tried it! My friend and I debriefed afterwards and agreed that the dosa cone had a tanginess that reminded us of injera and that it paired nicely with the sweet ice cream. The ice cream was on the pricier side - the double scoop + cone cost more than my fast-casual dinner - but the flavors and quality helped rationalize the splurge.

First off, I'm not sure why their Yelp page says that they're permanently closed. I came by since I…read morewas craving froyo and this stand was still located on the 2nd floor of the San Francisco Centre (FKA Westfield San Francisco Centre). I opted for 4 flavors: +Mountain Blueberry: Favorite of the four, it was creamy and full of blueberry flavor. +Peanut Butter: Creamy and reminded me of the inside of PB cups. -Triple Chocolate: Unlike last time, there was a burnt aftertaste. -Watermelon Sorbet: Icy w/an artificial taste. To top it off, I added: +Cheesecake bites: Soft w/a lemony flavor. +Chocolate chip cookie dough: Soft w/bits of chocolate chips. +Lychee popping boba: Good snap that tasted like lychees. +Mango popping boba: Good snap that tasted like mango juice. -Brownie bites: Stale w/burnt aftertaste -Passion fruit popping boba: Good snap, but they didn't taste like passion fruit. -Strawberry popping boba: Good snap, but tasted artificial. Side notes: 1.) Froyo is self-serve, but unlike other froyo shops I've been to, an employee scoops the toppings for you. It would be nice if they allowed self-serve toppings so customers can control the amount. 2.) Pricing is by weight 3.) Walking distance from Powell Station, which is connected to the mall. *Verdict: 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. Compared to last time, the froyo melted faster. By the time I got to the food court, it had already starting melting. Service was friendly and quick. However, if I was craving froyo, I'd come back.

I came in about an hour before closing and got the medium rectangular gift box as a Valentine's Day…read moregift. I really like that you can choose exactly how many of each flavor you want in your box. I didn't realize that before, but it's a great option because you could literally get one of everything if you wanted to try them all. I chose orange, citron/lemon, caramel, earl grey, espresso, raspberry, and hazelnut. There was also a vegan raspberry option since the regular raspberry had sold out for the day, and honestly you couldn't tell the difference. It was delicious. I also tried the lemon in store, and the raspberry was my favorite. One small thing is that once they're bagged up, it can be a little hard to tell which flavor is which since they look pretty similar on the outside. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind if you're trying to remember what's what. The owner mentioned he's had the shop for 30 years, which you can feel when you're in there. He took the time to neatly tie up the box and even gave me two complimentary pieces. The shop itself is tiny and charming with a good variety of flavors. A friend of mine has been coming here since childhood, and now I understand the hype. I'll definitely be back.

I got the mint, espresso, dark chocolate and coconut and all were super tasty. I want to go back! It's a very cute, homemade shop and I highly recommend checking it out!

This baker was at the first February 2021 Saturday Ferry Farmers market as announced in the weekly CUESA newsletter. Walking over halfway through my shopping mission, I waited as a customer finished his purchase in studying there menu and eventually buying a few items. With a friend being gluten sensitive, I noticed there were a few items that would fit her requirements and picked them up for her. As they put that together, I decided to try two menu items. I started with the With love from Berlin (almond bar) (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ytuJeNuqpY1aV-CsK1halA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) later that afternoon; it was delicious and, unlike many gluten free pastries, it was not dense nor dry. A few days later, I succumbed to temptation and tried the Almost famous (double chocolate cookie) (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Mb_Eo21HbnyuBvw2yr2_LA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); a chocolate cookie laden with white chocolate chips, this was on the cakey side but still delicious especially as I paired with with a cup of tea. A telling compliment was that my friend called me later that Saturday and asked me about the price before telling me to make sure to stop there again next Saturday. I need to study their menu a little closer before that to see if there's anything else that piques my interest. Another nice perk was the jar on the far left end of the table (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2wMfTp0zBOJ3CU7SvZI7vg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). They offered doggie treats for our fur baby which she bagged just like she did my purchases. When I got home, I studied their Instagram profile as well as the displayed flyers at their table which gave me great insight on her mission and vision in creating her baked goods. Needless to say, see you later today!

Bite Me Quickly: Quite a familiar treat; a coconut macaroon dipped in dark chocolate. Felt more airy than a typical macaroon, maybe because there was less sweet binding stuff. Classic Florentine: I love sweet crunchy Florentine cookies, but this was far from classic. Instead of being crispy all around, there was a moist cakey bit with strong orange flavors. under the crunchy almonds Really delicious, even better than the classic version! Cranberry Love: A cranberry, macadamia, white chocolate cookie. I'd never guess it was vegan. Quite tasty combo of flavors and textures. Orange & Chocolate: Shaped like a cupcake, but more like a dense olive oil cake with a really bitter (in a good way) dark chocolate ganache on top. Loved all the orange aromas in the cake too. Yummy Cheesey: Looked like it's going to be dry, but is quite moist and "buttery". Very rich. This Is Nuts: Not a fan at all! Wasn't sweet. Tasted kinda funky. Supposed to be like a garlic cheese roll, but vegan. Reminds me of a vegan Slim Jim. Not for me.

As we purchased their chocolates in town but did not try the desserts we decided on the Frozen Hot Chocolate, which was heaven in a cup for $6.75. I don't know how many calories is in this drink, nor do I want to know, for it was rich, savory and decadent! As we had walked from Union Square to the Marina area I felt like we earned it! There is a small area with seating for around 10 people but forget about getting a seat if it's busy, which is frequently. Luckily, you can get the drinks in a to go cup. The girl taking our order was friendly and personable, the restaurant is clean and they have a restroom, which is uncommon for this area. Prices are not over the top and comparable to Starbucks, only the drinks and desserts are better. I highly recommend Dandelion!

The mocha stood out with its rich, melted chocolate flavor rather than the typical sweetness of chocolate syrup, making it feel much more authentic and indulgent. Service: The staff provided excellent service and were happy to answer questions about their chocolates and products. I also learned that this is the same Dandelion Chocolate location we had seen at the Venetian in Las Vegas. My mocha was initially served a bit lukewarm for my preference, but the baristas promptly remade it and ensured it was just right. Ambience: The café was vibrant and bustling with energy. Despite being busy, the space felt welcoming and thoughtfully renovated, creating a stylish atmosphere that enhanced the overall experience. Overall: A wonderful spot for chocolate lovers, offering high-quality drinks, educational tastings, attentive service, and a lively atmosphere. The authentic chocolate flavor in the mocha and the opportunity to sample different harvests made this visit especially memorable.
