From a press release:
As a truly seasonal restaurant, Ripple welcomes spring with the opening of a fresh mini gourmet market, Sugar Magnolia, on March 22. The Cleveland Park storefront in front of Ripple offers a rotating selection of artisanal sandwiches, pâtés, salads, craft sodas, and baked goods daily from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. Sugar Magnolia’s darling is the ice cream sandwich: of which all six flavors are scratch-made by pastry chef, Alison Reed. Everything from the cookie dough to the ice cream and hand-dipped or sprinkle-rolled finishing touch is made and packaged at Ripple.
Cream, milk and eggs used in the ice cream sandwiches are sourced from Trickling Springs Creamery and Path Valley Farms, family-owned farms in Pennsylvania. Allan Benton’s bacon, found in the maple bacon waffle ice cream sandwich, comes from Madisonville, Tennessee. All four seasons will be reflected in special ice cream flavors utilizing produce from many of Ripple’s local partner farms, including beets, strawberries, and summer fruits. Savory snacks like the rotating selection of terrines, rillettes, and pâtés are all house made, along with artisanal sandwiches filled with cured meats, smoked fish, and fresh cheeses. Craft sodas and additional sweet and savory treats round out the menu.
Sample Menu Items after the jump. (more…)
