Mission Mission

Flickr user mexist managed to capture the last of Bombay Ice Creamery’s refrigerators being carted out onto the street:

Bombay Ice Creamery had to shut its doors due to a couple health violations, but I suspect there are other interests involved since they had such prime real estate. We’ll miss that delicious Kulfi.

So long, Bombay.

Bombay Ice Creamery: Gone For Good?

We haven’t been able to enjoy our favorite cardamom and masala ice cream cone for weeks, and since we’re still in the middle of one of our typical mid-November heatwaves, we decided to see what was up.  Mission Local reported a while back that the city had closed the shop on the basis of a few minor health violations and some water damage.  Now, Mission Local is reporting that Bombay Bazar and Ice Creamery packed up most of their stuff and is moving out. 

I took a peek through their window to see what was the deal and was greeted by this scene of carnage.  It’s difficult to miss the gaping hole in the ceiling, which was probably a result of all the water damage that got them originally.  We surely can’t be the only ones bummed about this.  Where are we going to find five year old bottles of tahini now?  And what about that wonderfully inexpensive all-you-can-eat Indian buffet (and did any of you ever end up trying it)?  I can only assume that Bi-Rite and Humphrey Slocum are somehow behind this . . .

Well would you look at that. For as long as I can remember, it’s been “Bomb y Ice Creamery“. I guess they they got sick of Spanish-speaking folks asking for explosive ordnance with a side of ice cream.

Anyone get pictures of it being installed?
