Could you be more specific? Sat Dec 16 20:52:27 -0800 2006 2076437 21956 Bay Gelldawg 2 2105893 That url is for the specific post by "misti", just checked it again. Give the page time to load all the way, then it will land on the specific post highlighted in yellow. Sat Dec 16 21:27:00 -0800 2006 2105824 10039 Melanie Wong 2 2106193 I found it quickly by pressing Crtl + F and typing misti. Sun Dec 17 00:03:00 -0800 2006 2105824 10658 Atomica 1 2106029 Thanks. I should have been more patient. Sat Dec 16 22:41:13 -0800 2006 2076437 21956 Bay Gelldawg 2 2106048 More importantly, try the ice cream and let us know! Sat Dec 16 22:49:38 -0800 2006 2106029 10039 Melanie Wong 1 2106173 The Bi-Rite Creamery officially opened today (December 16) at 11 am. The ice cream is wonderful--I had the salted caramel and added a spiced pecan topping. The life-partner had a macaroon and dark chocolate ice cream sandwich, and widget #1 had the deepest, darkest chocolate brownie sundae imaginable. The ice cream is lighter and more flavorful than ice cream at Mitchell's. It tasted like something right until the end. I can't wait to try the coffee-toffee. Oh, and Sam's Sundae: chocolate ice cream with Bergaot olive oil, sea salt, and whipped cream. We are unabashed Bi-Rite fans, but even so, I think the ice cream is something special. Oh, and it's a pretty, warm place without the dopey pretension of a place like Sketch in Berkeley. Sat Dec 16 23:52:28 -0800 2006 2076437 53926 asherandeva 1 2106191 Stopped by this afternoon after lunch at Delfina pizza. 18th street between Dolores and Guererro is shaping up to be an almost perfect food block with Tartine, Delfina Pizza, Delfina, Bi Rite, Bi Rite creamery and Dolores Cafe, all excellent choices in their own way. I tried the roasted banana ice cream which had a nice rich flavor. I am sure I will go back and try more flavors. They had an abundance of people working there (perhaps in training mode) but everyone was happy and friendly and the neighborhood certainly was turning out in support. Looking forward to hearing experiences with other flavors, sundaes and they also had some homemade ice cream sandwiches which looked worth investigating. Sun Dec 17 00:02:20 -0800 2006 2076437 58460 rdean 1 2111977 So what are the prices like? Nice website that actually lists flavors and other things they sell. Probably too early to ask, but has anyone tried the frozen pie dough? Any price for it? Tue Dec 19 04:42:55 -0800 2006 2076437 10264 rworange 2 2112799 We paid $2.95 for a scoop (about a small scoop and a half) along with an additional 75 cents for a SMALL drizzel of hot fudge topping. Way too much money for what we got. The chocolate is just chocolate ice cream, the salted carmel is good stuff.
