"save me a bite".

one thing is for certain:
we had our fair share of dessert this weekend.
actually, it's safe to say solely ice-cream, gelato and frozen yogurt.
what is it with us?
or maybe i should ask, 
what is it with our desire for a cold treat every night at about 9:00?
it's slightly pathetic, but utterly delicious.
we were spoiled by san francisco's finest this past weekend.
 which, if in the area, you must go treat yourself!
{and yes, it's okay to visit all three. we sure did- all within 24 hours of one another.}

1. smitten
unique and tasty ice-cream in hayes valley. 
they literally pour the ingredients in a nifty ice-cream maker right in front of you,
then whip up your individual serving right before your eyes.
flavors change daily due to the ingredients being organic! yum.
{make sure you click the link above- it's fun to watch.} 
a tradition and classic of san francisco. 
plus, it sits in one of my favorite neighborhoods to shop. 
two things you can't go wrong with.
go for the toasted almond if you're taking a stroll down hyde. 
certainly the fanciest way of displaying gelato i've ever seen.
arguably, the tastiest gelato i've had up to date. 
{i can't imagine i'll be saying that much longer- italy is just around the corner. yay!}
their frozen yogurt is to die for too-
a necessary treat if you are on chestnut! 

obviously, we have turned into ice cream, gelato and frozen yogurt connoisseurs. 
perfect timing, considering we arrive in the
land of gelato {italy} in just two weeks. 
some may say it's weird that i'm already anxious to take 
my first bite of pistachio gelato on the streets of florence...
but, what can i say? it's that simple: gelato in florence, italy. 
if only i could bring back a taste for each of you.
as my mom would say, "save me a bite".
