Ice Cream and Behind the Curtain

This ice cream shop in Oakland offers a visual and audio feast. You can watch your ingredients being stirred and frozen before your eyes. Nothing is hidden from view. As you watch you will be entertained by lively music with driving beats. And if you are lucky, or unlucky depending up on your state of mind, you will hear the loud shrieks of delight from visiting children.: -P  -- Vivian Aldridge : -)

Smitten Ice Cream

A team of engineers and ice cream makers combined liquid nitrogen, small ice crystals and organic ingredients to create churned-to-order ice cream.  Initially peddled from a red wagon at a farmer's market, the ice cream's now available at this popular Rockridge destination. Nitrogen clouds escape shiny steel machinery. Top volume alternative rap competes with hyperactive tots screaming in sugar-fueled delight. The sweet aroma of ice cream and sugar cones adds to the sensory overload. ~Susan Ford
