Spoiler: A warm sealed and glazed donut with ice cream inside will likely take over local social media feeds later this year.
Milkbomb Ice Cream has an Instagram star in the making with this item, which has been made with organic ice cream flavors like horchata and ube (purple yam) — tastes beloved by the multicultural Bay Area.
Proprietors Jan-Michael Manuel and Marion Valenzuela told NBC Bay Area that they're currently negotiating for a lease on a permanent space in a prominent, high trafficked part of Nob Hill in San Francisco. They would like to open before the end of the year.
After a break from catering, they'll resume taking inquiries in October, when they hope to debut at a few different San Francisco farmer's markets; they're also eyeing farmer's markets in Oakland.
Oh yeah, Manuel and Valenzuela will also offer healthy fruit bars with chia seeds and other wellness boosters, but you'll have to get past this temptation first.
My son and I had our first horchata last week at La Fuente in Soledad, CA. Wow...good stuff! Can’t believe I waited so long to try that. This new place seems a bit over the top!
sounds yummy
The healthy fruit bars won’t stand a chance.
Manufactured ice cream products at a farmer’s market.....sorry, these guys are not farmers unless they raise their own vegetables, fruit, or dairy.
A chain called “Afters” in Orange County (Southern California) has a booming business with this concept.
I would say that growers don’t mind all the various
items sold at farmers markets. Anything that attracts
more people is welcome.
