Experience

Your tour will start at Inner Sunsets' San Francisco Hometown Creamery, where you can choose some scoops from its innovative flavors. It is then time to hail your robotaxi to take you to the next stop. Let The Ice Cream Bar whisk you off to the time of vintage soda fountains, where classic ice creams, floats and milkshakes are waiting for your indulgence. A short walk will then take you into the heart of Haight-Ashbury, where you can select from Ben & Jerry’s humerously named ice creams. After another robotaxi ride, delight in Smitten’s ice creams that have been created by a unique liquid nitrogen process. Sit back and relax in their parlour and rate your sweet tooth delights at your leisure.

Uptaste

What is Uptaste? We’re something like a travel agency business (although we don’t sell flights or hotels). Instead, we specialise in finding the right place to eat, wherever and whenever you are, using location intelligence combined with expert and community curation. Uptaste destinations will rarely be restaurants; they’ll be shops, they’ll be street traders, they’ll be local markets, or some other easy-to-miss but hard-to-forget place.
