I would like to offer an apology to you regarding your experience at Screaming’ Mimi’s. I cannot remember anytime recently that I may have been ‘not very nice’ to my employees and am sorry if my interaction with you was perceived as rude. I truly value both my customers and employees. I do hope you will continue to enjoy our ice cream.

My first job was as Swenson’s too!
Am I the only one impressed with Spring Hill’s ice cream? On Western in Petaluma, at the creamery, the cheese maker also makes ice cream. I understand it is only sold there and to some luck folks at the SF ferry building farmers market. She has about 8 flavors at a time; open until 5pm. Plus you can buy their great cheese and butter while you are there – vanilla quark, yum!

Lala’s creamery makes all their ice cream on the premises of 134 Petaluma Blvd. North. They make their ice cream with Straus Family Organic Ice cream Blend 14% milkfat. Perhaps maybe you should inquire with the owners, before sharing information that you obviously know very little. Perhaps they use whole milk (Kirkland milk from Costco) to make, gee, I don’t know, a milkshake, a latte’, or tea with milk? “dee tee dee” . A Petaluman resident.

I love the ice cream at screamin mimi’s But the occasional time the owner has been there She is rude and not real nice to her employees. Kind of turns me off of the ice cream fun.
And yes there was nothing better than swensen’s.

LA VERA! 4th Street Santa Rosa. Their gelato is the best in town. Ah, a slice of their pizza in one hand and a gelato in the other… reason enough to tolerate the city’s new parking meters.

Hi Vince,
That would be Flavors! The ice cream is flavorful (try the lemon and cheesecake blend) and the staff is friendly and courteous. Try their world-famous Jarrod’s Chocolate Milkshake! Nothing so rich and satisfying as an ice cold chocolate shake on the River.

Another really good self-serve fro yo place is Yogurt Time, on Mark West Springs Road near the LBC, next to Bad Ass Coffee. According to the Yogurt Time, there’s also a Yogurt Time in Healdsburg.
Not only is the selection yummy, but their toppings are fresh and not stale as I have experienced at Golden Spoon. Also, I have a lot of respect for Yogurt Time for NOT using styrofoam cups. Styrofoam stays in the landfills forever. It does not biodegrade and there is no reason to use it when sturdy paper cups are just fine.
Yay, Yogurt Time!
I have also noticed a new fro yo flavor emerge called “Tartalicious”. Think of those Sweet Tart candies in fro yo form…it can really hit the spot.
