So after doing a Costco run for the restaurant today (btw its Lanna Thai, which I failed to mention earlier) I felt I deserved a cup of gelato and so I walked the 1/2 mile from Lanna Thai to Classic Gelato on San Anselmo Avenue. Yes, this place is a chain, with the red and green logo, but this particular location feels anything but; The same sweet man has been working there since I first stepped inside and he still asks about my dad. I've been coming here for gelato ever since I was a little girl, usually following a breakfast of chicken apple sausage from Comforts down the street (for another post) and ever since then, I've been an avid fan of a small cup of 1/2 bavarian mint and 1/2 raspberry sorbet. I've never ventured too far from those choices although occasionally I'll go simple with vanilla bean & dark chocolate or with my new favorite 1/2 mint chip and 1/2 raspberry (I know, not too adventurous) Anyways on the topic of gelato, I have a few key criteria:
1- it must be served with a spatula, no ice cream scoops
2- it needs to be stored in shallow metal trays
These are non-negotiables for me as I've been known to get in line at a gelateria, see an ice cream scoop, and proceed to get out of line.
