That Swensen's on the corner of Union and Hyde is the original store and the only one the owners kept when they sold their others to whoever runs them now. They still make ice cream on the premises and it is sensationally good. They have great flavors, too; not all brown, white, and beige ice creams like so many places have.
last time i was there the people i was with spent hours and hours and hours in this dive and me and my one friend just wanted to leave and explore and they sat in there for hours i was going nuts being stuck in there
