It was a hot, sunny day in Golden Gate Park and I roamed the grassy hills and horribly paved roads for hours in search of refreshment. Eventually, I came across an oasis of both shade and concessions behind the Bandshell: a magnificent, brightly colored truck labeled, Twirl and Dip Soft Serve.
I ordered, and after an arduous 30 minutes of waiting, I finally held the long-awaited sundae in my hands.
Atop the smooth twirl of vanilla soft serve, trickled down a generous river of hot fudge, with a colorful array of honeycomb candy, chocolate chips, and cherries on top.
I started with the cherries, which popped in my mouth, flooding it with a sweet yet delightfully tart syrup. The crackling, crunchy, honeycomb candy had a subtle and distinct honey flavor to it that accompanied the cherries nicely.
The cool, creamy, soft serve truly lived up to its name, being soft without melting too fast, and having just enough vanilla flavor to not drown all the toppings out.
Finally, the crunchy chocolate chips and chewy fudge tied the whole sundae together with a rich, and lightly salted finish.
In less than a minute, I devoured the whole cup and found myself delightfully refreshed.
Although the $10, the size and quality of the serving made it well worth it. If you find yourself in Golden Gate Park this spring or summer, be sure to stop by!
