Doris Sweet Journey: Mitchell's Ice Cream

Mitchell's Ice Cream is opened on June 6, 1953 at San Jose Avenue and 29th Street in San Francisco. It is still owned and operated by the Mitchell family today. Because of their dedication to creating the very best ice cream.

They import avocado, buko (baby coconut), guava, langka (jackfruit), macapuno (sweet coconut), mango,pineapple and ube (purple yam) fruit from the Philippines for their ice cream, and they use fruit such as lychee and passion fruit for their delicious sorbets.

In addition to exotic flavors, Mitchell's Ice Cream also offers more traditional fare, all beginning with a 16% butterfat base. Their ice cream is made fresh in their shop daily, and they use only the finest ingredients available. Their Vanilla ice cream is made with pure Bourbon Vanilla and only authentic Kahlua, Bailey's Irish Cream and Rum are used in the flavors bearing their names.
