where to buy cocktail ice or food-grade ice blocks?

[Robert Lauriston]

Does anyplace sell Kold Draft cubes or other clear, hard, large, extra-cold ice cubes?

Failing that, who wells food-grade ice blocks that can be sawn down?

Previous topic asking both where to buy and how to make at home got moved to Home Cooking:

Sur la Table sells a nice ice cube mold that makes a large round cube..I have been using distilled water and getting perfect clear cubes for cocktails. It is silicone and 10 bucks for two molds.

Well, there's SF Ice Company in Bayview:

45 Williams Ave
7AM -5PM Mon - Sat
7AM -1PM Sun
415-671-1055

Their blocks are good, but not really crystal-clear, if I recall correctly. I've only been there for dry ice in recent years.

I've heard that there's a liquor store somewhere in Berkeley with a wonderful dice-sized cube machine. A guy bartending a private party that I attended a few years ago had these amazing cubes. He wouldn't reveal what liquor store other than to say it was in Berkeley.
