Divya Mulanjur: Amazing flavours, not too sweet, soft creamy ice cream. Go for the secret breakfast or Vietnamese coffee or peanut butter fudge. Yum!
BuzzFeed: Flavors like white chocolate lavender and black sesame will tingle your tongue, but first try the famous Secret Breakfast flavor, a bourbon-based vanilla ice cream with clusters of cornflakes. Read more.
Rain Rannu: Possibly the best ice cream in the world! (Maybe only Hää Kraam in Estonia comes close)
Kathryn Kelly-Becht: Visit Ciao Bella Gelato for some very delicious all natural gelato and sorbet. Valrhona Chocolate, Lebanese Yogurt and Blood Orange sorbet are some of the favs.
Jason Su: Amazing food stores and farmer's markets. Price range varies. Ranges from oysters, cured pork, desserts, and hot dogs, you can find something for anyone. Closes early.
Alex Murray: Ummm-so if you're looking for a place to go where you have some options; this is your place! I love the variety of the Ferry Building-you can get breakfast, gelato, wine or oysters all in one place!

Pius Uzamere: Best affogato of my life. Creamy vanilla Humphry Slocombe ice cream offset perfectly by the just perceptible bitterness of the Blue Bottle espresso, poured over the ice cream like bisque over lobster.
UhOh Gia: You should definitely try the ice cream with coffee., if you're a coffee lover, you'll be addicted to this place!
Dennis Zeh Jr: Shakerato with oat milk, affogato, and New Orleans-style iced coffee are my fave here. Pastries like the waffle are pretty good also.

Mark Yolton: Steak tartare appetizer, fried chicken or short ribs entree, and either blueberry tart or donut dessert. You can't go wrong.
Bommy: Eat the popover with the most amazing salted butter. Definitely make reservations and go for the fried chicken, burger le grand, and doughnuts. Request to sit at the chef's counter for a kitchen show.
Philip Saul: The mac and cheese was amazing. The fried chicken lives up to the reputation. The burger was good but mostly due to the awesome bun. The toffee dessert with the port pairing was great as well.

Shiri Weinstein: Burnt caramel gelato with pine nut cookies - a must!
Phoebe Venkat: I recommend the salumi misti plate (share as an appy), ginger cocktail, tagliatelle and brown sugar gelato for dessert (comes w/ some excellent brown sugar cookies)
