it’s a no brainer. It’s Mitchells. Just better quality Bi-rite is good too and Slocomb is OK quality + interesting flavors. But if you want unbelievably rich and delicious flavors, Mitchells is the best game in town….
I would have to agree about Mitchells, although I haven’t had much Bi-Rite. Slocomb is oddly over-rated – as crazy as their flavors purport to be; most taste too similar, as if the base they use is used in every flavor. I’d love to see HS just make some more traditional flavors and knock them out of the park – that would impress me more than curry banana or whatever.
