Best Ice Cream Shops in the US?

Fairfax Scoop in Fairfax, CA is incredible! There is actually a line down the street to get in. If you go in the evening, be prepared to wait at least a half hour (it is well worth it though). They have over 100 flavors that change daily. All of the ice cream is organic and made with the freshest ingredients available. My favorites are cardamom, mud pie (coffee and cinnamon ice cream with fudge and graham crackers), and grasshopper (mint ice cream, newman cookies, and spirulina (for coloring - can't taste it though).

Another great place is Bi-Rite Creamery in San Francisco. They are also organic with some really unique flavors like: mint honey lavender, ginger, balsalmic strawberry, and roasted banana.

Both places have very light and fluffy ice cream. I guess this is due to the fresh, organic ingredients. I've never had the equivalent.
