Three Twins

Three Twins Ice Cream is a small chain of organic ice cream shops in Northern California and a wholesaler of ice cream products nationwide.[1] Three Twins was established in 2005 in Terra Linda, San Rafael, California.[2][3] Three Twin's factory opened in Petaluma, California in 2010.[4] The other shop locations are in Larkspur, California; Lower Haight Street in San Francisco; and Napa, California.

Three Twins was started by Cornell graduate Neal Gottlieb[5] and is the first organic ice cream shop chain in the U.S.[6] Gottlieb earlier worked for the Peace Corps in Morocco. The company began distributing its products nationally after Whole Foods found them selling their ice cream at the Berkeley Farmers Market.[7]

Three Twin's 100 flavors rotate between offerings such as Mint Confetti (mint ice cream with flecks of dark chocolate), Cookie Jar (vanilla with three types of cookies) and Strawberry Je Ne Sais Quoi (strawberry with a hint of balsamic vinegar).[6] The shop garnered attention with some offbeat offerings, such as the "most expensive sundae in the world" at $3,333.33 (no takers yet)[5] and a "Sergio Romo Mexican Chocolate" flavor with the motto "It only tastes illegal."[8][9]
