Green and pink walls adorn this bright, cheerful ice cream shop, which has Mexican and South American flavor influences, offering ice cream flavors like guava, tequila, horchata, avocado and lucuma – an Andean fruit – as well as all the usuals, from chocolate to cherry. There with a friend? They kindly split our regular shake into two cups for sharing ease — and topped each with whipped cream — making the generous serving size a bit more manageable.
The shake: The Key lime pie milkshake ($8) captures all the pie’s characteristics, from graham cracker crust bits to tangy, almost cheesecake-like flavors and tangy lime in thick, slurpable form.
Pair it with: Those Mexican and South American influences extend to spicy street snacks, including tostilocos, and other treats.
Details: Opens at noon daily at 704 Bancroft Road, Walnut Creek and 6710 Alhambra Ave., Martinez; obriens-icecream.com.
