This tourist location in the city used to manufacture chocolate at this site very many years. That operation has since closed down but the complex still affords many retail shops and restaurants for all the visitors who drop by
One of the many shops they are known for is their ice cream parlor. Their signature offering was the Earthquake. A humongous bowl of various ice creams and a just as substantial pile of toppings to satisfy your sweet tooth. Alone if you dare, but its meant to be shared.
In the middle of it all is a nice open courtyard that provides a sunny rest area on nice day like today.
North of the square is San Francisco Bay across from Aquatic Park. Angel Island and locations beyond peak through the stairway that meander their way around the surrounding structures.
