Smitten Ice Cream is on a mission to craft the freshest ice cream experiences to spread JOY. We believe in using technology for good -- to improve our food system and to improve the freshness of the food we eat (which, by the way, also makes food taste way better!). We have focused on ice cream because... well, we love it! And, because we want to create more joyful moments - now more than ever. That’s why we’ve spent over a decade perfecting our state-of-the-art Brrr® machine, a patented technology that makes insanely delicious, FRESH ice cream TO-ORDER... transforming a countertop into a magical micro-ice cream factory.

Fresh food with quality ingredients is just better, hands down. And ice cream is no exception. Rather, we have the highest expectations for ice cream because we believe it should be the pinnacle of pure joy.

On a mission to reengineer ice cream from the ground up, Smitten Founder, Robyn Sue Fisher, began inventing and developing her own ice cream machine that could churn fresh, ultra-smooth scoops in less than 90 seconds.

Amidst recession, Robyn became a rogue street cart vendor, bringing her prototype Brrr® Machine atop a Radio Flyer® wagon to the streets of San Francisco. By stealthily tweeting her location and the flavor of the day, ‘wagoneering’ pop-ups became a popular underground foodie outing around the Mission and other SF neighborhoods.
