Sublime ice cream and bakery on College

Ici, former Chez Panisse pastry chef Mary Canales’ thrilling ice cream shop, is a destination in its own right. It serves the stuff of dreams, ice cream with flavors so big, bright and true, only a magician could concoct them. The trick? The ice cream boasts 50 percent seasonal fruit puree, and the sorbets, 100 percent.

My most recent addiction is Ici’s ice cream sandwich, its super-thin, crisp gingersnap rectangles bookending lime ice cream, the tartness offset by creaminess. The balance is poetic. You’ll go crazy trying to decide between scoops, sandwiches, bon bons or bars in ever-changing flavors.
