Dish of the week: The 2nd Street from Flavor Brigade
Briefly

Flavor Brigade in Oakland brings authentic Philly-style water ice and custard, reminiscent of the rowhouse neighborhoods of Philadelphia. The 2nd Street dessert features layers of Italian water ice topped with Strauss frozen custard, preserving distinct textures. Made from real fruit purees, the water ice offers a refreshing alternative to traditional snow cones. The custard’s high egg yolk content ensures rich creaminess, completing the flavor experience. There are various flavor options available, all best enjoyed outdoors, and priced at $7.25 for a small serving, providing great value for an authentic treat.
The 2nd Street is a layered masterpiece: your choice of Italian water ice topped with creamy Strauss frozen vanilla or chocolate custard, served unmixed for distinct layers of flavor and texture.
Flavor Brigade's Italian ice is made with real fruit purees, creating intensely flavored, almost snowy ice that's worlds apart from syrupy snow cones.
The frozen custard, with its required high egg yolk content, delivers that signature richness you can’t get from regular soft serve.
Each spoonful gives you the refreshing tartness of the ice followed by the full-bodied richness of the custard, a perfect temperature and flavor contrast.
