Humphry Slocombe is a San Francisco ice cream company, on a mission to make ice cream less vanilla. Founded by Jake Godby (former pastry chef at Zuni, Boulevard, and Coi) and Sean Vahey (former Restaurant manager at the Four Seasons, F&B Manager at Hyatt Hotels), we make surprising and delicious chef-driven ice creams. Since our launch in 2008, we have received national press from publications such as the New York Times Magazine and Bon Apetit, and were recently featured as one of the Top 5 Ice Cream Restaurants by Food Network. We are known for unusual flavors such as Secret Breakfast (bourbon ice cream with corn flake cookies), Red Hot Banana, and Peanut Butter Curry.
