Nothing beats a scoop of ice cream on a hot day. Actually, even on a cool day, a scoop of GOOD ice cream makes everything better. Last week, I was introduced to Caffe Panna, an ice cream shop located on 19th and Irving, started by Hallie Meyer (the daughter of Danny Meyer, famous and fabulous restauranteur). I was super excited to try this ice cream, and it EXCEEDED my expectations. It was so so so delicious, and I want to go back and try multiple different flavors. And yes, I am lactose intolerant, and ice cream hurts my stomach, but this ice cream was worth it, trust me.

How cute is the store front? It Is just a window where you order and receive the ice cream.

Open Wednesday – Sunday 1:30 pm – 9:30 pm (for some reason, I love these random hours).

The line. It circled around even at 4 pm on a weekday.

And I should have bought a pint to go, but there were so many options, that I ended up just getting a scoop.

Specials — I wish I could have ordered everything on here.

I got the mango lassi — to die for.

My side kick got the aid’s dream — vanilla sweet cream with thick peanut butter swirl.

Check out their sundaes, omg, I need one.
To follow them for ice cream inspiration, go here. And you can order it in person, or nationwide, too! Run, don’t walk.
