MItchell's Avocado and Lucuma Ice Cream: My quest to try every major ice cream shop in San Francisco has perhaps come to completion now that I've finally stopped by Mitchell's. Located about a 10 minute walk from the 24th Street BART station, Mitchell's has been serving San Franciscans for over 50 years, with a menu of classic flavors as well as exotic tropical fruits. Asian flavors skew Filipino, with ube, halo-halo, macapuno (young coconut), and lacuma, the last of which I was excited to try for the first time. I purchased a single scoop with two flavors: avocado and lacuma. Both had an impressively smooth and creamy texture. The avocado tasted fresh, and the lacuma had a sweet caramel flavor that reminded me of roasted squash. They didn't blow me away, but they were certainly of high quality, and I could understand why this business continues to thrive despite being somewhat out of the way. If you go, be prepared to wait (it took 20 minutes to get these scoops), or grab their 1/2 gallons to go. 3.5/5.0
