Soft Serve

Time: 12:17pm/77°F partly sunny
Purpose: Walking on the Embarcadero came across a cute paper mache piñata in a form of soft serve cone. It was hung and kept swinging in the wind. Got curious!
Set-​up: Basically a tricycle internally and a hard plexiglass exterior shell with a soft serve dispenser connected to a generator. All utensils, tip jar, menu board, prices are in plain view.
Staff: One girl late 20s European facial features with dirty blonde hair tie in bun. Kinda curt and not engaging in her work. I ask what flavor you have? She reply with VANILLA only in a tone that one would lable it as conceded. I almost walk away then said to myself. What are you? Man or kid? Since I’ve went this far and its on Unilocal,I went ahead and got the cone.
Cleanliness: Grade A, cart looks sturdy and functional no loose panels or bolts. Stainless steel cleaner was seen nearby for cleaning.
Eats/​Drinks: Soft serve vanilla on waffle cone $ 4. This thing started to melt as soon as it was handed over. Walk over to fog bridge of exploratorium and fingers were covered. Tasted pretty good with vanilla flavor. The waffle cone was definitely store bought. It was thin breaks apart at first contact with soft serve. A good waffle can withstand a good soaking of cold liquid. Not here, sign even touts Straus Creamery use. Beats me!
Main Features: Soft serve on cup or cone.
Products/​Services: Box water, Jarritos (mexican soda), root beer float, toppings, waffle cone only. Cash only.
Punch Lines: Good for warmer days, kids will love, melts faster than usual, local dairy use, pricey, pleasing flavor, snarky, not engaging, nothing out of the ordinary, simple treat.
Tradeoffs: Price is higher being that its near touristy area. You can get one at super duper burger too, but no waffle cone though.
Final Thoughts: As side from the tude of girl. I end up liking my cone just wish it didn’t melt as fast, but what can you say? It was a warm day. Lastly, I can’t even recall a time were I pay $ 4 for a soft serve. Ahhh, the price of living in the city! 3.5/stars!
