A San Diego ice cream shop that landed the top spot on USA Today’s list of the best independent ice cream shops in the U.S. is coming to Ocean Beach. According to their website, An’s Electronic Repair will open at 1861 Bacon Street this summer.
An’s Dry Cleaning offers unique flavors of made-from-scratch gelato on a seasonal, rotating menu.
Their North Park shop is open seven days a week from noon to 11 p.m. at the corner of 30th Street and Adams Avenue. They also have locations in Del Mar and Petco Park.
According to San Diego’s Fox5 News:
Currently, their menu boasts unique gelato flavors like mango/passionfruit, strawberry/dark chocolate/cream, salted caramel/chocolate covered cones, and chocolate/orange, just to name a few. But the flavors do change seasonally.
Despite their name, An’s Dry Cleaning is only a nod to the previous business that the gelato shop took over. Opening in 2018, An’s finished in second place on the USA Today list in 2023, and is the only West Coast ice cream shop to make the top 10 this year. Not only did the local business make a national list, in celebration, An’s is offering $1 gelato on July 1 until they sell out, their website states.
USA Today’s list was put together by a panel of experts, then voted on by readers who chose the best ice cream spots in the U.S. The locations were chosen for their use of quality, fresh ingredients and creative takes on the beloved frozen treat, according to USA Today.
