.Best Ice Cream Flavors

Tara's Organic Ice Cream

You may need a translator to fully appreciate Tara’s unforgettable
flavors, from Adzuki Black Sesame to Yerba Santa. This New Mexico
transplant brought her eco-friendly business to Oakland in 2008 and,
boy, are we glad to have her. Stepping into Tara’s, you’ll often find
the owner behind the counter wearing a sunny smile and a bright bandana
to match. These ice creams sing with the essence of everything from Bay
Laurel (a must-try!) to Pink Peppercorn. Don’t be surprised to find
yourself slack-jawed in front of the case, trying one spoonful after
another. Even in the ice-cream-saturated market that is the East Bay,
Tara’s takes it to a whole new level. The flavors pack a punch, but the
impact on the environment is minimal. Tara’s uses compostable cups made
from sugarcane, spoons made from potato starch, and all-recycled paper
products. Handmade cones, including the don’t-miss version with sesame
seeds folded into the batter, also shine. Available flavors — all
seasonal — are posted daily on Facebook, if you want to know what
you’ll find before stepping into this ice-cream wonderland. Not a bad
idea, since you might need to consult a reference book to determine
what your options really are.
