Lauren's Locales: Oakland's Classic Creamery

By Lauren Bonney

Fancy some delicious, delectable and down-right darn good ice cream? Then look no further than Fenton's Creamery.

Located along Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, this creamery was founded by E.S. Fenton in 1894. To this day, most of the ice cream at Fenton's is hand-made from recipes created long ago, though there have been a few addition.

Fenton's also offers tours of the creamery, where visitors can marvel at the process of making the rich dessert. You may even receive a delightfully cold treat at the end of the tour.

Fenton's Creamery is not only limited to ice cream, but it also functions as delicious diner-style restaurant.
