Sometimes you just have to treat yourself... to ice cream for lunch
Roasted banana and salted caramel from Bi-Rite!
Roasted banana and salted caramel from Bi-Rite!
It's not really like anything you'd get in South Philly or Southern California, but still not bad for being pretty damn far away from Mexico.
Tutti Frutti just opened in Philadelphia at the corner of Juniper & Walnut, where a Bonté used to be (across from Naked Chocolate).
Benedikt and I ducked in there on Friday to escape the heat and to see if it was anything special in the rapidly expanding microcosm of Philly froyo.
It's self-serve with maybe 10 flavors, including blueberry, peanut, acai berry, and cake. You can add lots of your own toppings, from fruit to nuts to gummi bears. You pay by the ounce at the end, pretty reasonably priced.
The frozen yogurt was cold and of a good consistency, the fruit toppings were fresh. It wasn't awesome but it was definitely good.
No pictures of the sushi, but it was really good too. I'm spoiled to have such culinarily-gifted friends!
I feel full just looking at the pictures. We picked up burgers (and fries, sometimes) from
500 Degrees (linking to their Twitter account since they don't seem to have a website...)
