Ghirardelli
Ghirardelli is a well-known chocolate and ice cream shop with a range of sweet treats including vegan sundaes made with coconut-based non-dairy ice cream. The atmosphere includes river views and seating inside a classic building, though some visitors note an upstairs ice cream parlor. The vegan offerings are limited mostly to a vegan sundae and sorbet, with some frustration over pricing and occasional out-of-stock vegan whipped cream.
