Located at
the original location of Ghirardelli’s Factory is the Ghirardelli Ice Cream
& Chocolate Shop. This iconic brand
has a rich history and has been making chocolate since 1852. With 160 years of experience one would expect
their chocolate to be amazing and it certainly was.
After a long day biking around San
Francisco my buddies and I were craving an ice cream. When we arrived the line
was out the door but moving quickly. We all ordered the World Famous Hot Fudge
Sunday in a Chocolate Waffle Bowl. Once
you order at the counter it’s a free for all to find a table to sit. We got
lucky and found one easily. We placed our placard on the table and got a few
glasses of water from the self service
bubbler while we waited.
A very nice waitress came to our table but unfortunately
the order was wrong. Somehow the order went in incorrectly and was served in a
glass bowl rather than the chocolate waffle bowl. Wanting what everyone else
had we send them back. As the waitress turned she got bumped by another
employee and two of the three sundae’s hit the floor in a spectacular crash. Of
course I felt terrible not only for her but for the wasted ice cream.
She returned a few minutes later with new
sundae’s as we had ordered. She did show us that the person at the counter had
clearly put them in the computer incorrectly but she gave us what we wanted
without any other mention of it.
The sundae’s were huge and we could easily
have shared one but how often do you get to have a sundae in the original
factory in San Francisco. The ice cream was rich and creamy and the hot fudge
was smooth and silky. I managed to finish off the ice cream and hot fudge but
when it came to eating the chocolate waffle bowl I wasn’t able to finish. As good at it was I am glad I don’t live to
close because I’d be huge.
