Return to the Daily Scoop

Instead of going somewhere else for dessert crepes (there was a fleeting moment when we considered going to Little Italy's Fabrison's but we didn't want to deal with parking and coins for the meters), we walked a block away to the Daily Scoop on Juniper. I'd been there a few months earlier when Bert, TC and I had lunch at the nearby Station Tavern.

It's so cute inside...I also noticed that the red awnings outside still had "M-Theory CD's, LP's, etc" on the inner part. M-Theory has since relocated to Mission Hills. It's such a cool record store and when I went back in September, they had a "buy one CD/get one free" deal going on. Hell yeah man, more music for my buck.

I had the Red Mint Chip in a cup. The ice cream is supplied by Niederfranks, located in National City. Everything is handmade there. Just to the right of those curtains is a tiny little gallery/second hand store, Fuchsia Design Studio which features works and art by local artists. So many cute things there. Lots of vintage items like plates, cups, books, trinkets, housewares and more in such a tiny little space. I didn't take photos there. It would have been too conspicuous but I was eyeing some handmade jewelry as well as this pair of vintage milky white candlestick holders with a textured dotty base. I was contemplating on getting it for my cake stand craft obsession but refrained.

This was KD's ice cream - the Pistachio which is next to a brownie-like cookie that we all shared. Not pictured (until I get KD's photo of all 3 of our ice creams) is TORC's cone with Triple Chocolate ice cream. My camera was on the fritz so I took a shot with KD's...I liked how the Pistachio ice cream wasn't a wierd shade of green. There were also real pistachio pieces in there. Very nice. 
If there was no risk in getting fat from eating shit that I like such as ice cream, I'd be eating it every damn day.

I love how there are so many mom and pop businesses here in this neighborhood. I think it's great and we saw a lot of families walking around as well. South Park has a really cool vibe to it, you know, that old time neighborhood feel.

We headed across the street to Rebecca's for a quick pitstop...
