Ice cream on nitro? Yes, you heard correctly. Nite Creamery is open at the SLO Creamery, so you could say summer has officially begun! This unique, nitro-crafted ice cream is frozen with nitrogen for a smooth, creamy scoop that's fun to watch being made. Try a cone or a scoop of Saturday Cereal (Captain Crunch topped with frosted flakes on top), Cin-a-Bunch (cinnamon ice cream with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal on top), or The Red Woman (red velvet ice cream topped with red velvet crumbs); nitecreamery.com ... Negranti Creamery, the family owned sheep's milk ice cream business based in Paso Robles, will open its doors at the forthcoming SLO Public Market, slated to open at the corner of South Higuera and Tank Farm Road ...
