California scoops up Yelp’s ‘most saved’ in America rankings — with 4 of the top 5 spots

As summer temperatures start soaring across California, a new ranking is giving ice cream lovers plenty of excuses to cool off.

Yelp has released its list of the 50 most-saved ice cream shops in America — and the Golden State dominated the competition, claiming four of the top five spots.

The food review platform analyzed user bookmarks and rating data to come up with the list, which finds San Francisco creamery Mitchell’s Ice Cream at the top.

The Mission District shop which was founded in 1953 has over 3,400 5-star reviews and over 1,000 4-star reviews.

Their official website reveals their hand-crafted “super-premium” is made with “16% butterfat,” which is what makes their ice cream stand apart from the frozen pack.

A pair of Los Angeles ice cream shops took third and fourth place on the list, behind New York City’s Soft Swerve in second place.

LA’s Mashti Malone’s and Busman’s Organic Milk Bar were followed by Meadowlark Dairy in the Northern California enclave of Pleasanton to round out the top five.

Mashti Malone’s has over 1,000 five-star reviews and more than 400 four-star reviews, with three locations in the greater Los Angeles area (Westwood, Hollywood and Silver Lake).

Mashti Malone’s is founded by Mashti Sirvani, an Iranian immigrant who fled his homeland after the 1979 Iranian Revolution and immigrated to the United States.

The shop stands apart for its unique Persian flavors including Rosewater, French Lavender and Persian Cucumber.

Busman’s Organic Milk Bar serves 100% organic USDA certified, non-GMO, antibiotic-free ice cream from a leading organic producer in Korea.

Among their most popular offerings are their original products like True Milk Flavor and Cereal Cone & Croffle.

The final California offering on the list is Meadowlark Dairy in Pleasanton, which has been serving up frozen treats for Bay Area and Tri-Valley customers since 1919.

Their offerings include the classics like vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, plus banana, cookies and cream, coconut and pineapple.
