Our celebration of Frozen Food Month continues with the delightfully cool Marianne’s Ice Cream. A Santa Cruz favorite since 1947, Marianne’s was founded by Tom and Lenore Becker, combining the names of their two daughters Mary & Anne. The goal was simple, create the best ice cream using only the highest quality ingredients. Marianne’s loyal fanbase has helped keep the ice cream parlor at the same location on 1020 Ocean Street since 1947. As an extra sweet treat, you can find pints of Marianne’s Ice Cream at your local Bianchini’s! And if you want to try Marianne’s for yourself, stop by our Portola Valley store this Wednesday, March 12th, from 11 am – 3 pm, for a sampling event.
