It’s Sunday afternoon and the 49ers just won! We’re celebrating with our SUNDAE FAITHFUL Sundae. It includes 2 scoops of any of our luscious flavors, hot fudge topping (or any other topping of your choice), whipped cream, red and gold sprinkles and a 49ers reusable plastic cup! This sundae will be available for a limited time only.

Our new mural was just installed in our parking lot!! “Sundae In The Park” was painted by Jen Brault and Margaret Belton of Realm Art + Design. We love it and hope you will, too!

A classic Mitchell’s flavor that we haven’t made in many years is back: Banana Nut!!!! Fresh, ripe bananas with English walnuts. It’s a great combo!

A big thank you to everyone who sent us ❤️ and support after our store was burglarized yesterday. It means a lot to all of us!

We also wanted to let you know that we’re open for business as usual! Due to the valiant effort of our day crew, everything was cleaned and straightened up yesterday morning and we opened at 11:00 am as usual.

Our new front window will arrive next week, but otherwise everything is back to normal! Thank you again for your support! The Mitchell family and Crew

08/10/2024

This morning at about 3:00 am, 5 men broke into Mitchell’s by breaking one of our front windows. We have cameras throughput the shop and outside, so we were able to see that they tried to steal our safe, which is securely bolted to the cement floor. They ran out of the store when our alarm sounded and the police arrived about 10 minutes later. We always leave our cash drawers empty and open, so in the end, they left with a bag of cookies. But what a mess they left behind. Glass everywhere and crushed bags of cookies that they stepped all over when they entered.

This is a warning to our fellow small business owners: Be sure to leave your cash registers open so thieves can see there’s nothing in them, and put all of your cash, checks, etc. in a safe that’s bolted to the ground. And a good alarm system will make them leave in a hurry. They’re hitting our neighborhood (Rock Bar was burglarized about a week ago), so be careful!

Our next step is to do what we can to make sure they never come back!!

The Bay Area Roll-Outs rolled into Mitchell’s on Monday for an ice cream break during their whirlwind mural tour around the Mission. Margaret Belton of Realm Art + Design (closeup) is one of the artists who painted the beautiful mural on the side of our store. She and Jen Brault, the other half of Realm, also painted the dandelions in the photo on the left. Mission murals are the best!!
