What happened after Food Paradise?
The Ice Cream Bar showcased a 1930s-style soda fountain menu — house-made ice cream, phosphates, and egg creams — from its Cole Street storefront in San Francisco's Cole Valley neighborhood. The episode captured the shop's period-accurate counter and its focus on locally sourced dairy and produce. The business describes itself on its own site as a full-service soda fountain rather than a quick-serve counter. A 2026-09-08 check of that site, theicecreambarsf.com, showed an active pickup-ordering system and a working gift-certificate purchase link, alongside pages for its photo gallery, contact information, and hours, all loading normally at the same Cole Street address.
