Still the best ice-cream
It's actually just an ice-cream place in the Reading Market, but ice-cream wasn't one of the available categories. I made a point of stopping here on the morning of my departure. Even though I chose relatively bland flavors -- cinnamon, and French vanilla -- the ice-cream was first-class. I remember the fruit flavors as being excellent, but didn't have them now.
