San Francisco’s Hometown Creamery

Farm to cone ice cream made 100% from scratch. The sister location to the flagship in the Inner Sunset, this bright and airy scoop shop with a back patio is located in the heart of Hayes Valley in the PROXY development. Owned and operated by two local brothers, the shop offers a unique take on both their fixed, signature flavors as well as the seasonal and globally inspired flavors that appear on their rotational menu.

Classic baked treats, floats, affogatos and shakes are also on the menu.

San Francisco is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and San Francisco follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.
