For me, nothing says summer like homemade peach ice cream. With peaches in season, the next best thing is finding something peachy at a local spot. Here are a few items to try:
Little Rey: Peach soft serve with lime zest (available in July)
Bagelshop: The Picnic Peach Tartine with whipped ricotta, sliced peaches, pistachios, honey, and flaky salt
Culture + Co: Chickweed and peach panzanella salad
Adele’s: Grilled peaches over ciabatta with whipped feta, Calabrian chili oil, and black pepper honey
Bonus: Grab a few peaches from a farmers market, and browse The Peach Truck’s recipe collection. If you bake something delicious, send us a photo — we may feature it in the newsletter.
