<\/h2>\n

Gelateria Naia<\/h2>\n

520 Columbus Ave. <\/em><\/p>\n

San Francisco, CA 94133<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The founders of Gelateria Naia are three friends who traveled all over the world and everywhere they went, they had to try the gelato. On their gelato adventure they learned from master gelato artisans in Italy. \u00a0And, after trying everything, they found that there are only two simple components to an outstanding gelato: pure, natural ingredients and small, and artisanal batches.<\/p>\n

Naia bases their flavor offerings on traditional flavors, however, they do explore exotic fruits that pack a punch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Melt Gelato & Crepe Caf\u00e9<\/h2>\n

845 Market St., Suite #FE14<\/em><\/p>\n

San Francisco, CA 94103<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Melt Gelato & Crepe Caf\u00e9 concept is a fresh, new experience that is exciting.\u00a0 Without compromising flavor, Melt is focused on developing items that are healthy, but taste great at the same time. \u00a0With over 20 gelato flavors, it was hard to pick!\u00a0 Our favorites Cr\u00e8me Brule and Mascarpone Caramel Pistachio.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ciao Bella Gelato Co.<\/h2>\n

1 Ferry Building #8<\/em><\/p>\n

San Francisco, CA 94111<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>While Ciao Bella is a chain, it is still pretty darn good. The gelato is a little more light and airy compared to others, but that can be a good thing because you don\u2019t feel so guilty eating it! They have unique and intense flavors, like Blood Orange Sorbet and Key Lime Graham Gelato, but when we asked which flavors were most popular, vanilla and chocolate were the obvious answer.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

Gelato Classico Italian<\/h2>\n

576 Union St. <\/em><\/p>\n

San Francisco, CA 94110<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>A hidden gem, the space is tiny with less variety than some of the newcomers listed here, but the flavors are fantastic, and the setting in North Beach can\u2019t be beat.\u00a0 Gelato Classico is also a deli so you can sit and enjoy both lunch and dessert!\u00a0 They have a cute outdoor patio too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Humphry Slocombe<\/h2>\n

2790 Harrison St. <\/em><\/p>\n

San Francisco, CA 94110<\/em><\/p>\n

With more than 310,000 Twitter followers, a heaping helping of controversy, and a rich supply of attitude and humor, Humphry Slocombe is not your average ice cream shop. Yet the ice cream is what matters, and they make it in dozens of glorious, unique, and delightful flavors including the popular, Secret Breakfast, ice cream made with corn flakes and bourbon.\u00a0 A must try!<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

Dolce Gelato<\/h2>\n

916 Sutter St.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

San Francisco, CA 94109<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Unlike some smaller shops where seating is at a premium, at Dolce Gelato, you can take your gelato and coffee in the upstairs space, or find a bit of seating outside. The menu includes a variety of flavors; highlights included white chocolate raspberry, spumoni, and the shockingly good blackberry cabernet sorbet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

La Copa Loca Gelato<\/h2>\n

3150 22nd<\/sup> St. (@ Capp St.)<\/em><\/p>\n

San Francisco, CA 94109<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>La Copa Loca! Is literally translated as \u201cThe Crazy Cup\u201d! And they mean it too, La Copa Loca has some pretty crazy flavor offerings, from Saffron to Goat Cheese, this place has it all. Their sorbet and gelato case is truly a thing of beauty, and you are welcome to sample as many flavors as you like, definitely worth stopping in.<\/p>\n
