"Every element of this hot fudge sundae sets a benchmark of deliciousness. Together, the fudgy brownie, the angelic vanilla, and the devilish dark hot fudge are an unequalled package. If I had to quibble with it, I would say that the one problem with a sundae is that in some ways the fudge and brownie, great as they are, take some focus away from the ice cream, which deserves undivided taste-buds attention."

"Can the peppery sweetness of gingersnaps and the syrupy muscle of molasses combine to become an intoxicant? If you have a few licks of this molasses ice cream laced with gingersnaps, you might say yes. I want to call it overwhelming, but it is, in its own way, absolutely elegant; and yet to call it elegant does not do justice to its devastating power. What the heck, I give up trying to describe it. Please, if you are in Berkeley, have some! (Unless one of the other magnificent flavors mesmerizes you even more.)"

"A freezer case displays scoops of the day's flavors. Every customer is entitled to sample them before committing to a single one."

"My sister, who lives in the area, tells me it is rare to come to Ici when there isn't a line of customers. The line moves fairly slowly because once you get to the head of it, you will want to consult with the ice cream practitioners and have some samples. Each order is a kind of event ... certainly for those about to eat it!"

"The cones, with their lode of chocolate at the tip, are delicious. But they are fairly small; and God forbid your scoop of ice cream falls off! Many customers get their ice cream in a dish and have the cone planted on top to eat like a cookie."
