Swensen's...

In 1948, Earle Swensen started this ice cream store in San Francisco.
Noted as close to homemade in ingredients and flavor, this store still exists.  In fact, this store can now be found all over the world.  The Swensen family sold off the name to a franchising company a few years back but held on to store number 1.  Do yourself a favor, go to Union and Hyde Streets (the cable car will stop there for you ) and grab a scoop.

Side bar note.... when I was little, this was the place to go on Halloween - they gave away free ice cream to us.  When I was older.... I tried to get a part time job there.
