Angela’s Ice Cream Co-Owner: “There’s Something About This Place. There’s the Beauty, the Connection to the Larger Bay Area – People in this Region Vote with Their Dollars”

At the other end of that Throckmorton Ave. block, there’s also no doubt that another relative newcomer, blockbuster hangout haven for a slightly different clientele is Angela’s Organic Ice Cream, the latest edition in a long line of fantastic ice cream shops in the 94941 (shout out to Baskin Robbins’ incredibly long run ‘til it closed in 2011.) In each case, the lines out the door say it all. Angela’s Organic Ice Cream was originally founded in Petaluma as Lala’s Creamery. Angela Garat and her son, Ignacio, purchased the business and recipes in 2017, and it’s been full speed ahead ever since. There is MUCH more to come, as you’ll read here.

Few subjects have stirred the proverbial pot in town more than the June 2023 proposal for the membership-based Treehouse from Marine Layer founders Adam Lynch and Mike Natenshon, part of the team leasing and developing the former bank building at 60 Throckmorton Ave., all of whom live in Mill Valley.

Car Talk: Jason Sibley Liddle Makes the Leap to Expand on Mill Valley’s Ever-Growing Car Culture with Moto Ranch Marin

“Creating such communities isn’t easy these days, with work-from-home, social media, and a sense of isolation haunting previously bustling places,” Liddle says. “This is my niche way to chip away at the loneliness pandemic, genuinely and with the intention of strengthening community bonds. Refine what real community is, amplify it, and repeat it in other places that need it. That is how I plan to create and spread positivity in the world—my contribution to the human race.”
