sketch

two weeks ago we went to cal football's first home game against minnesota (yay we won!). before the game we stopped by 4th street in berkeley. i never knew that area existed! it's like the nice area of berkeley with a lot of higher end eating & shopping. anyways, the point of going there was to stop by sketch, an ice cream shop. I tried their jasmine tea granita and peach. The jasmine tea granita was so so good, very refreshing! It seems like there are a lot of new ice cream/gelato places in Berkeley now and actually Sketch isn't really ice cream or gelato, they use Strauss milk (not cream) which has a butterfat content of 7-8%, gelato has a butterfat content of 4-6% and ice cream has a butterfat content of 11-16%.

anyways, if anyone is ever in the area, you should check it out. it's not really close to campus though, it's near 80 and university ave but i want to go back to that area just to explore/browse! it's weird how i never knew of that area before. an interesting coincidence is our wedding cake baker moved to that area in berkeley recently (she was previously in emeryville) so when we go pick up our anniversary cake next weekend, i think we'll have time to look around! some other places in berkeley that supposedly good are Ici and Gelateria Milano.
