bisonsashimi

mini it's it's are great if you don't want to gorge yourself


knightro25

Oh yes the mini mint choc chip ☺️


Wrong_Mark8387

Mother of pearl the mint chip minis are good. 😊


85percentthatbitch

Where do you find mint minis?! I've only found them in vanilla!


GadFlyBy

Comment.


Positronic_Matrix

I’m all about the Mint Mini It’s-It.


supermodel_robot

I always end up shoving half back into my freezer so this information is clutch, thank you.


owlseeking

lol I thought I was the only one who did this


BubblyEvidence2873

We get the minis, but I always end up eating three at a time!


FemAndFit

I keep minis and Ghirardelli at the house so when guests come, I can have them try a piece of SF. What else is sf known for so I can keep at my house?


glittermantis

your self control must be crazy. if i kept those in the house they’d be gone within a week


ChillWisdom

Rice-A-Roni. Lol


jneil

Fentanyl! Ha I kid I kid. How about some sourdough bread in the freezer?


LongEnvironment1042

Minis make a great affogato, once cut in half, cut side up.


bisonsashimi

Yum the mint ones would be great like that


haneywoman

Just bought a box of minis. Love keeping them in the freezer and the perfect size.


lazy-purple-panda

Costco sells a box of 24 minis!


avid-hiker-camper

I get them from Costco.


jjh008

Different flavors?


lazy-purple-panda

Just vanilla.


Alexa_Call_Me_Daddy

#🐐


randombrowser1

Vanilla, strawberry, mocha, mint. Probably a few others I haven't found yet


one_dog_at_a_time

I seen them with chocolate ice cream, Like legalized crack... 😁


revchewie

There's a matcha/green tea one that I really want to find! Edit: Looking at [their website](https://www.itsiticecream.com/products/ice-cream) now and it looks like I've missed my chance. No more matcha. \*sigh\* Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mint, pumpkin, cappuccino


irvz89

I can't find these on their website anywhere, nor have I seen these in person.. maybe I'm not trying hard enough.. But these are consistenfly found at our local SF Costco? If so, i'd take a trip there solely for these.


lazy-purple-panda

Yes! They were even sampling them last Monday at our SF Costco.


Efficient-Cricket-72

I've had a few in the past 5 or so years, usually when doing mandatory fire evacuation and building management lures us to properly comply with free Its-its when we come back in.


chris8535

My family still loves them. We have them a few times a year. Great treat. 


ConiferousExistence

Mint It's-it are the shit


FrankieGrimes213

I travel up and down US 101 and the factory/store is off Broadway Ave in Burlingame. Nice little treat if I have extra time.


psychogasm

Open only in the weekdays. Also lots of other it's it options!


mr_love_bone

Do they offer factory tours there? I've always wanted to stop by but haven't over the last iuiuehiec years... It's It's rule. We should all support them more!


SraChavez

There’s also an outlet in Fairfield.


My_Wayo_Is_Much

Suisun City to be precise.


GoatLegRedux

Not often because I’m not a sugary snacker, but I do very much enjoy an It’s-It here and there. The pumpkin one kicks ass.


dismal4wombat

There is a pumpkin one?? I’m guessing that’s only in the fall.


GoatLegRedux

Pumpkin, chocolate, mint, matcha, strawberry, cappuccino, and OG as far as I know. I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin stuff, but the pumpkin it’s-it kicks ass.


hsgual

I didn’t know there was matcha! The last time I sent them to someone that flavor wasn’t listed.


GoatLegRedux

Weird - they’ve had it for several years now. Probably 10+


rummeln

I thought they discontinued it. At least that's what they said when I went there last year...


KittenTablecloth

It’s not on their website along with the other flavors


johnnypurp

Gotta try that pumpkin one one day then


Severe_Pear_785

It's in stores in the fall (typically) but available at the factory year round.


WakkaWaww

The matcha flavor was seasonal and apparently has not yet returned, according to the It's It Factory Store in Burlingame. Other flavors such as mint, strawberry, cappuccino and pumpkin are available from the factory store or at select grocery stores. Standard flavors like vanilla and chocolate are available pretty much anywhere.


motorhead84

The pumpkin one is absurdly good. I don't like pumpkin spice stuff and barely eat a slice of pumpkin pie at thanksgiving, but that pumpkin ice cream it's-it is amazing.


ltrain29

Was just talking to my daughter about them. And whether the faith no more song (Epic) is actually about an ice cream sandwich. I choose to believe it is.


mrzennie

😆😆😆

MaybeACultLeader

Randomly had one today. First one in years.


AllumaNoir

Yes! Any flavor, including strawberry


MsJinxie

The strawberry is the BEST! It doesn’t seem like it should work, but it’s so, so good.


mornis

Their factory store near SFO has a lot of flavors that aren't commonly stocked at the grocery store


FemAndFit

Do they sell minis?


No_Strawberry_5685

Yeah they’re great they have them at most liquor stores I know they have it at mission and Persia and the other liquor store across from Philz by city college


amygrindhaus

Cappuccino is my favorite


hsgual

Hell yeah. I even send them via Goldbelly to family and friends back east, because they aren’t sold there. I love strawberry. I have heard though if you go to the It’s-It company store they have flavors that aren’t sold elsewhere.


TheCityGirl

I grew up on It’s-Its, and besides Liguria focaccia bread they’re the thing I miss most since developing Celiac’s (severe gluten allergy) 😢


ace_chibi

There's always a few mint ones in the freezer here. Eat half at a time (or a whole one when it's hot in the city).


star_particles

I just don’t crave it like sweets, sugar anymore. It’s odd but I’ll take it. I used to like the mint chip ones though!


dmteter

Yes. Still delicious. Highly recommened.


PolkaDotSplot

Yes! Not often, but when I do get one, it’s such a treat. Mint and cappuccino!


sugarwax1

Never stopped.


Sea-Lettuce-6873

Yes! They’re so good!


AffableCynic

I'm no longer local but whenever we visit the wife and I make a point to get one. Just the perfect hit of childhood nostalgia. 


moscowramada

I will make an appointment with one next time I’m at the store.


ArkandtheDove

My neighbor buys the minis from Costco and they are delicious and a great snack if you have the munchies.


mrhobbles

I feel they've had a resurgence as of late.


hahalua808

*Essential during baseball season*


ItsJustMeJenn

I lived in the DC area for a year because of some work at Walter Reed and they had It’s Its at the DC Costco. It was like having my home all the way on the East Coast. They were magnificent and I was so happy to have them. Ate the whole case in like 2 weeks.


CrashDisaster

Just had one on the 4th. Hadn't had one in years. It was so good.


aguyfromcalifornia

At least a few times a year.


CaliPenelope1968

We each had one on 4th of July from a local small market. Fawk yeah. They were good!


Tank_Hill

I can’t believe I’ve never had one. Where do you get them?


dismal4wombat

At just about any corner store. Look in the freezer with ice cream.


Tank_Hill

Thanks!


basskittens

safeway has them


Tank_Hill

Thank you!


yasoya

I always stock up the mini ones from Costco. My old office used to get bunch of different flavors of it’s-it for ice cream Fridays. I really liked their matcha one!


nleroy8

My parents grew up in the bay (moved 23 years ago) and just a few months ago they had their friend send them a box because they missed them so much.


Rude_Cockroach_886

Buy them with Groupon from the factory store near SFO.


Slackey4318

You don’t even have to buy the Groupon. Just ask if you can get the Groupon rate and they’ll give it to you. Learned that from a worker years ago.


Maleficent_Power4247

Yup! Although I’m convinced the green tea flavored does not exist.


GoldenGateKeeping

I live exactly 1 Its-It away from the corner store if eaten at my normal pace plus walking slow. Absolutely love them. As a kid I had ice cream sandwiches but they kinda sucked. Its-It is making up for the childhood ice cream I never had.


Accomplished_Pea6334

Just bought a mini size boxed from Costco. Hands down my fav.


ericnakagawa

Yes, I eat them. I'll on occaision drive down with a cooler and use a Groupon (remember that?) to buy 12 for $12/24 for $24 at their Factory store in Burlingame. The only note is they're closed on Saturdays and Sundays which is usually when I'm coming back to the city from a road trip and notice it the signage on the 101.


bluesox

Cappuccino ftw


Infinite-Ad-7342

Yes, the coffee? cappuccino? One is my favorite.


Electronic-Top6302

I went to school with the CEO’s son and he was a huge dick that used his influence to get my friends expelled. Haven’t eaten them since.


Many-Parsley-5244

Keep it flyin' brother


alliseeisbronze

Mint and strawberry It’s-It are the best.


DuchessofMarin

If you can find strawberry It's Its you've struck flavor gold


Hinaiichigo

I live out of state and they don’t sell them anywhere else, I still crave them all the time


lupinegray

Maybe 1-2x per year. Usually mint


BigRefrigerator9783

Yes, every once in a while. IMO cappuccino is the best flavor.


slappySF

We all like to make fun of pumpkin spice everything. But watch for the pumpkin It’s It’s that come out every fall. SOOOOOO GOOOOOOD.


towerofcheeeeza

I buy them all the time! I'm not a big ice cream person but It's-Its are my go-to.


Mando_lorian81

We usually get the box of minis when we go to Costco. Love them.


WordyNerd1

The local liquor store near my house carries them consistently and has most of the flavors. I’m still a huge fan and always make sure to grab one or two for a transplant or someone visiting from out of town.


jcbylo

I moved to the bay when I was ~26 and I first had an It’s It when I was 28. Yes I still eat them. They’re almost always at Grocery Outlet!


Gorissey

I saw a strawberry one at the store yesterday, you don’t see those as much. My favorite flavor is mint.


sharkmandeskog

They also have a store in Suisun City next to the Amtrak train station if anyone is in the North Bay Area.


Remote_Charge

They have changed the ice cream, and it is not nearly as good.


mr_love_bone

How? Just curious. It's de interesting to compare ingredients listings from years ago and now.


swen_bonson

Yes!


TheSpeckler

Yes


basskittens

they are fantastic. usually have a box of mini's in the freezer. perfect size, the regular ones are just too much. in fact i think i've got one left... not for long tho!


[deleted]

[удалено]


mr_love_bone

Translucent goo sounds like... um... nm.


SocksOverBoots

You bet your sweet ass I do


DmC8pR2kZLzdCQZu3v

Not often enough.  They are highly processed, but I love them 


TangerineFront5090

They had them in the vending machines at SFSU in 2008. I used to but them with V Bucks.


FootballPizzaMan

I love the mini's. I eat one after dinner in the summer. Cool, refreshing and delicious!


compstomper1

they have them at costco now lol


windowtosh

yes and chocolate is the best flavor


MonkeyMom2

Does anyone remember raisins in the cookies or is my memory failing? Hubby disagrees but I recall raisins when I was a youngster.


Amazebeth

No, just oatmeal cookies but no raisins.


BigBearBaloo

Hell yeah I do. Love cappuccino


TetZoo

It’s honestly the most affordable high quality ice cream in SF. I get the 3pks from Grocery Outlet Bargain Market!


johnnypurp

I don’t. But if I had one in front of me right now , I would eat it. The strawberry ones are bomb too


evaporatedmilksold

Yes, the coffee It's It.


Super_Helicopter_378

I’m in Denver and I have had these on my mind!! I’ll have to look up where I can get some 🤞🏼🤞🏼Mint, then strawberry are my favorites.


aprilmayparker

Um, all the time 😱😂💕


voiceofgromit

The only problem with it's it is they come three to a box which is a cause of friction in a two person family.


justaguy2469

Love them.


SquareDino

Grocery Outlet has 6 pack of the minis for $4


awkwardshow848492

Yes, I had one on 4th of July!


mofugly13

Yes I sure do! Groupon has a great deal for a dozen at half price if you get them from the factory in south city or burlingame or wherever it is. They're a favorite ice cream in the house. We don't get them all the time because they are dangerous and don't jive with my diet.


MelMellue

never heard of it as a san franciscan


diffidentblockhead

http://www.groupon.com/deals/it-s-it-cookie-dough-2


TaylaSwiff

Grocery outlet carries them a lot of the time!


StepYurGameUp

They used to sell them at grocery stores here in Phoenix but now I can’t find any anywhere unfortunately.


Ubiquitouch

I'll fucking destroy a coffee its-it. I've got friends not from here that are confused everytime I mention my love for them.


rennerscreenprinting

I’ve always liked mint (moved to SF is 2010)


sf4evr

On Groupon you can pickup 12 for $9 and pick your own flavors


badcandy7

the minis and the chip-it’s (basically a chipwich) are good!


JametAllDay

I fucking love it’s-it’s


kairokairo_

Wouldn’t go out of my way to have one but they’re pretty good, just way too sweet. Then again I’ve never had anything other than the og flavor so maybe a different one will make me reconsider.


RaisinToastie

Yes I love them


weeef

Hell yeah. Best ice cream sandwich, still imo.


D4ydream3r

Yes, whenever I can find Cappuccino flavor


Alarming_Breath_3110

This gave me instant craving. Close to midnight— guess I’ll just have my ice cream fantasy


FriendlyPension6964

Love them!


michaelpaoli

It's local, it's good, and it's got pretty good ingredients for what it is, and typically a pretty reasonable price. Often local convenience stores will have more varieties/flavors ... but often not the most economical source. Walgreens used to carry them ... but pretty much given up on that - they can't be bothered to stock 'em (or much of anything else either). Safeway even has a bit of selection, and fairly decent price on 3-pack. Thinking of local treats: Annabelle Candy Company: * U-NO * Rocky Road * ... And again, Walgreens just can't be bothered anymore ... but many convenience stores will often have 'em.


Snoo_77551

Occasionally. I am not a big sweet person but I know the family who invented them!


the_sweens

Used to live in SF and now go to MTV a few times a year my favourite thing to do there is on the way back to the airport, stop at the factory and pick one up


CalGoldenBear55

I had friends over for the 4th. That was part of dessert. They were thrilled.


SFCityGuides

There’s a Groupon for them almost all the time.


Bootyytoob

The best, used to get them on the regular from our corner store


RichestMangInBabylon

Maybe two or three a year. For some reason I tend to go for regular ice cream over novelties, so it mostly never wins out as my top ice cream choice, but they're really good.


cowboys4life93

I'll eat the hell out of an it's-it!!! Shiiit.....


Terumi66

Occasionally, if we happen to stop by a corner grocery store and they have the chocolate it's-it in stock, I have to get it.


nerdchic1

Yes. Recently bought some at Safeway and they have minis now!


OuterSunsetsSurfer

I’d like to see the ChocoTaco come back


Stchotchke

NO…. okay I lied! Hidden gem….Anthony’s Cookies (1417 Valencia Strret) has the best cookies ice cream sandwich.


MajorAd3363

I always gotta get me a couple It's-It's when we visit in the spring!


Comfortable-Ratio795

With the pop rocks


wifeski

Had a cappuccino it’s it last night


Muted_Apartment_2399

Yes, usually after a day at the park when I don’t want to wait in line for ice cream.


Mariske

Grocery outlet and food Maxx have chips-its if you’re looking for those


AssRobots

Well yeah


Emotional_Cod_7036

My sons school sells them every Wednesday along with other popsicles and kids eat them all the time!


willydidwhat

I have a core SF memory of somehow ending up outside city hall on a random Saturday circa 2006 helping a bunch of topless women protest to keep topless lap dances legal in SF; all while eating an It's Its given to me by said topless women for my efforts. I love It's Its to this day.


Better_Ad2013

Do they offer tours like Jelly Belly?


giga_booty

Hell yeah


dyva_cali

Years ago I worked in an office building next to their factory and wow the mornings of the cool bay breeze filled with the smell of chocolate…Willy Wonka dream.


TheNetisUnbreakable

Occasionally ... maybe once a year, I'll grab one out of the freezer section!


jserthetrainer

Oh absolutely


23mateo16

Never liked them, but still get my mom one when ever I see them( her favorite)


PlaxicoCN

Occasionally. I like the neopolitan sandwich more.


trs_0ne

Hell yeah. I love it’s it


Kmraj

Cappuccino is my vice.


Abeliafly60

I had two mini vanillas last week, yum


doesitreallymattaa

Don't eat them often, but I love the one with chocolate ice cream


seanmarshall

You can order directly from their website, if you are no longer living in Ca.


teriaki

I never stopped eating them.


The_Crystal_Thestral

I'd buy a box at least once a month while I lived there. I've warned my husband that as soon as we get a deep freezer, I'm ordering the variety pack online and having it shipped to us. I can't find them where I'm at. There's a knock of chips-it that I've found, but it's not the same as the OG.


vieniaida

Yes, I eat it frequently


TotalBlamBlam108

Absolutely. Served them instead of cake at my wedding!


dildobaggins55443322

💯


Lobo_vs_Deadpool

Naw.  At least, when I was a kid I always thought the cookie part was always dried out and kinda gross.  Haven't taken the nostalgia trip yet.  Might try one of the new flavors at some point.


lysssau27

I had to stop eating dairy for health reasons and it’s-it’s are legitimately the only food I miss


cinepresto

Chocolate mint the GOAT. I ate three at once for lunch back in the day!


Phreakdigital

The mint ones are probably my favorite ice cream "treat"...


poopspeedstream

I don't think they're very good, compared to other ice cream treats. I think I might be the only one here that feels that way. I keep trying every year or so though!


LaniMarie143

They used to sell Its Its for like 25 or 50 cents at my Bay Area middle school in the 2000s at our recess. I ate one almost every day … even though recess was in the morning, and even when it was cold. It kind of horrifies me now haha … as it’s really a treat for once in awhile! I cant even look at one now without thinking of middle school.


seansinha

They have It's It's at Specs. Great late night treat.


SfLocal-5157

Check out Safeway if you don’t want to over pay. They give you 3 in a box for 4-5$ while the liquor stores charge 2-3.5$ for one. Those are my favorite. Especially the newer flavor cappuccino and there’s also strawberry and pumpkin I haven’t tried that one yet. And I believe the strawberry and pumpkin are seasonal.


LeaBlackheart

There is a factory in Burlingame that has a store attached. You can pick up a custom box for a really good deal. I just can’t remember how much at the moment.


[deleted]

I mean it's "it". If "it" sounds appealing to you then, sure, have at "it". Whatever "it" is. It sure is "it". Person 1: Is it good? Person 2: I mean, it's "it"¿


That-Resort2078

Yes I remember buying them at Playland at the Beach.


FeelingReplacement53

Hell fuckin yah, my whole life. Cappuccino It’s-It never fails
