Spoon

Our third and final destination on the spontaneous downtown food tour, and we almost didn’t make it. I hemmed and hawed for a while, and finally gave in. I needed cool refreshment for dessert.

The interior is a bubblegum crisis. Sickeningly pink, and the staff dress like hoochies. But that’s not necessarily bad! What matters is the frozen treats.

Their ice creams and sorbets are made off-site. LA, I think. They provide samples. Their chocolate sorbet is reputed to be amazing.

I’ve heard people grouse about the price, but for quality ice cream, I don’t balk. Also, the prices for the larger sizes are not expensive. You can mix flavors in the medium and large sizes. And you get a cute (recyclable) container to take home if you wish. I did.

Small size $4
Medium size $5
Large size $6

No gelato for me this day. I got a medium container with pink grapefruit and limone sorbets.
