Sweet Spot: Herb & Eatery’s Gelato Sandwiches

At Herb & Eatery, the quick-service component of Little Italy’s Herb & Wood restaurant, Executive Pastry Chef Adrian Mendoza gives the traditional ice cream sandwich a gourmet spin with his gelato sandwiches.

He pairs housemade cookies—try the chocolate chip or lime-sugar—with flavors like this month’s strawberry rhubarb sorbet made with California-sourced organic berries and rhubarb. In the ricotta honey and lavender sandwiches, you’ll taste the local harvest of San Diego’s Mikolich Honey.
