Polar Bear Frozen Treats

Posted by Unknown Tuesday, July 6, 2010 0 comments

Polar Bear Frozen Treats in Reno is one of Zo and my favorite places to get frozen treats! Zo is a big fan of the Turtle Sundae (hot fudge, caramel, and salted pecans!) and I like trying the flavor of the day! My favorites have been peanut butter with chocolate peanut butter cups, s'mores, lemon pie and chocolate chocolate with fudge! I am sure there have been others I loved but going their most every Wednesday and Sunday makes it hard to remember what all we have had. That is how much we love it, we go almost every Wednesday and Sunday.


Francis Says: Yummilicious!

Zo Says: NUMMY!

Bi-rite Creamery (San Francisco)

Posted by Unknown Tuesday, June 22, 2010 0 comments

This place was recommended to us by our innkeeper when we stayed in S.F. for my 25th birthday. We were in the Castro, and Bi-Rite is just a few blocks away in the Mission. The place was jam-packed with people, and it was pretty obvious why: it's super yummy! I got the salted caramel ice cream in a sugar cone, and Francis got...something else that was equally scrumptious and unique, but neither of us can remember what it was. Fact: they make all of their ice cream from Strauss dairy products, which come from happy cows...really! That must be why it's so good.

We both say: DEE-LICIOUS!

Cafe Alfresco in the Atlantis Casino (Reno, NV)

Posted by Unknown Monday, May 4, 2009 0 comments

We do not usually frequent casinos but the Atlantis In Reno has Gelato! They also have brick oven pizzas. Those two things combined plus the fact the Atlantis is one of the casinos you do not walk out of smelling like a total ashtray makes this a fun place to stop by now and then.

If you get a pizza be picky. If it looks like something you can get anywhere it is going to taste like a pizza you can get anywhere. If it has an interesting name like; Island Delight, Fire-Roasted Chipotle Chicken, Chef Bob's Favorite, Spicy Meatball, Sonora, ect. It is going to be interesting and good.

When it comes to Gelato there is only really one flavor to avoid. Banana, it tastes like banana laughy taffy not bananas. Other wise they all taste great, some of our favorites are; Wine custard, Amaretto, Carmel, cookies and cream, truffle and vanilla. Everyday they have different flavors so you may have to drop in a few times in a row to get the flavor you are looking for.

We hope to see you there! http://www.atlantiscasino.com/dining/cafe-alfresco-menu.asp
