Ice Cream

anticipation gonna drip eventually

If you are forced to weather the summer in Davis, then you're sure to need an ice cream from time to time (or you might try a gelato or a frozen yogurt or other dessert). And sure enough, there are a few places that would be happy to sate your craving.

• Baskin Robbins - ($1.00 cones on Tuesdays!)
  

• Ben & Jerry's - (Voted Best Ice Cream in Davis by readers of The California Aggie)
  

• Cold Stone Creamery
  

• MU Coffee house bakery - $0.30 per ounce
  

• Mishka's - $2.80 for single scoop, $3.80 for double. Six flavors available, including "very chocolate," espresso bean, and fat-free raspberry sorbet. Served in a paper cup.
  

• Rite Aid They have Thrifty ice cream by the scoop.
  

• Sugar Daddies - homemade ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet; their specialty is the Cow Pie ice cream sandwich

Soft serve ice cream is available at:

• Dairy Queen
  

• The Dining Commons
  

• McDonald's
  

• Habit Burger
  

• Wendy's

Packaged ice cream and be found at:

• The Dining Commons - They allow you to take one with you on your way out each time you eat, so an enterprising group of freshman can build up an entire freezer full of packaged ice cream in as little as a week.
  

• Newsbeat - There's a cooler full of frozen treats like It'sIts.
  

• Campus Vending Machines the machine opens up a freezer and a vacuum cleaner style hose retrieves an ice cream treat.

Mobile service is available from:

• Vintage Ice Cream

There are several "ice cream" campus vending machines:

• Academic Surge - on the first floor near the west entrance
  

• Haring Hall - at the west end of the building where all the other vending machines are
  

• Hutchison Hall - Near the center of the building, 1st floor, north side.
  

• Memorial Union Games Area - near the other vending machines.
  

• Mrak Hall - By the Registrars Office
  

• Olson Hall - Bottom floor right as you come down the stairs.
  

• Scrubs - Med Sci Cafe.
  

• Vet Med Teaching Hospital - Bottom floor by the receptionist area next to all the other vending machines. Usually has three flavors of It's It!

You can also buy larger quantities at local grocery stores (of course), or make your own!

"Frosty Paws" brand ice cream for dogs can be found in the freezer section of some grocery stores. They call it "ice cream" but it is really more like a slightly meaty flavored frozen salt lick. Cats like it a lot too.

If you are on campus at the right times (Picnic Day and some other events) you may be lucky enough to find a group making ice cream with liquid nitrogen.

At the ASUCD Coffee House, you can order an ice cream sandwich by choosing any two cookies from the top shelf and any flavor of available ice cream. The end result costs less than if you got the pieces individually.

If it's a large, dripping sundae you crave, you can head to Vacaville and hit Fentons, or swing up to Sac and partake from Vic's, Leatherby's, or Gunther's.

• Don't confuse this with I Scream

Simply look at the ingredient list of the pure vanilla flavor of the particular brand. If it contains more ingredients than an old homemade recipe, or artificial flavors like vanillin, or shortening and vegetable oils, then you can do better elsewhere. 4-5 ingredients are enough: Milk/cream, sugar, egg yolk, real vanilla. Most brands (even expensive ones) will have around 9 ingredients. There are two brands that can live up to these high demands and they are available in Davis:

• Strauss
  

• Haagen Dazs
