Best ice cream in SF. Birite Creamery has fancier flavors, but we think nothing compares to Mitchell's. Take a number and wait a bit. It's worth it.

Birite Creamery and Birite grocery store are across the street on 18th St. Namu Gaji also sells Korean street food across the street. It's really tasty.
