We can try to blame it on the sun, but let’s be honest: That sweet tooth longs for ice cream, rain or shine.

Whether you crave a trendy or traditional cool-down, you’re in the right place because these BARTable ice creameries around the Bay will keep your cup or cone more than half full.

It's all just steps from the Millbrae BART station.
