Across NY and LA the hot thing is Pinkberry (or similar frozen yogurt shops). For San Franciscans though, an ice cold frozen yogurt doesn't exactly hit the spot on a cool foggy day. Luckily we now have our own place to stop for a quick, sweet snack: Loving Cup Rice Pudding Shop on Polk Street.
The bright little cafe was started by a friend of mine - Liz Hawrylo - along with her mother and sister from the East Coast. She set up shop several months ago and have been buzzing with business ever since.
Loving Cup serves a variety of all natural rice puddings. Chai is my favorite flavor. Cardamom, cinamon, nutmeg ... I am drooling just thinking about it! Rice pudding is also a unique dish to pick up and bring to a potluck. No one expects a rice pudding dessert but they always love it.
Also on the menu are pastries, sweet snacks, espresso and yep - frozen yogurt. (Even in SF, we can't escape the pinkberry madness)
Check out the shop at 2356 Polk between Union and Green, and say hi to Liz!
mmmmmmmm

Wow, what a great idea! I could see that sort of thing catching on over here in the UK; it's certainly better suited to the climate than ice-cream ;)
ReplyDeleteJust had it today. The froyo isn't normal tart froyo--it's the froyo version of DQ Blizzards! You get to choose what you blend your sweet slow-churned froyo with, and it comes out super thick and creamy. It was definitely something different... and very awesome.
