Tips for Dining, Eating, and Food Shopping in the SF Bay Area (including Berkeley, Oakland, Napa, Sonoma, Marin, and San Jose)
Start New ThreadGetting married at the end of the month up in Napa, and bringing up our caterer from SoCal. We're planning an ice cream sundae bar as part of the dessert course, and I wanted one of the flavors to be ube.
Thought I'd help her out and locate a place to purchase it in bulk. I know I can safely assume Mitchell's, but just wanted to make sure there wasn't anywhere else folks can recommend.
Thanks.

Marco Polo, which serves gelato, has an ube flavor also. I like it better than Polly Ann's.

Magnolia ice cream ice cream is sold in many Asian markets and also Lucky's (at least in Hercules and San Pablo where there are large Filipino communities). I like it a lot but the reason I don't buy it is because it always seem to be sold in large tubs.
