In the thick of summer I avoid the long lines at the more obvious and notorious ice cream establishments, in favor of some unique and treasured favorites. Aglamesis Brothers ice cream in Oakley and Montgomery, call it by just plain Aglamesis, has been enticing people well beyond my short life. The establishment just reached it's hundredth year, and has much of its original decor restored or preserved. I CRAVE the supremely dense chocolate shakes with homemade whipped cream and butter cookies, which I have been known to request in my father's infamous Aglamesis pick-ups.
