As a kid my parents used to stop at Marianne's on Ocean Avenue in Santa Cruz so that we could get ice cream cones to eat on the way home to San Jose. A special treat. The cones were great until I discovered the Hot Fudge Sundae. OMG. Mom and Dad usually ordered Maple Nut. I could never understand that choice.
Now Marianne's has opened a (relatively) new location across the street from Manuel's. So you can be in ice cream heaven in just 2 minutes after walking out the front door of The Cabin.
