Since people seem to really like their ice cream, we regret to bring everyone news of the closing of Cortland Ave's Maggie Mudd, maker of delicious dairy-full and dairy-free ice cream, seller of cones wrapped in the American flag, and purveyor of some of the best damn sundaes in the city. The silver lining is they don't plan on shutting their doors until April 3rd, so you have a week of warm weather to stuff your face with waffle sundaes until MM transitions the business to online-only cake outfit.
Maggie Mudd's owner explained his reasoning for shutting down to Vegansaurus!:
Since MM won’t be entirely going away, there’s a chance it’ll appear on the street again somewhere. The currently location is really not the best, since it’s so far away from one of its core audiences.
Damn, one of my favorite things about Maggie Mudd was the fact it was far enough away that I didn't eat there daily. Then again, I suppose that's the problem with their location. Anyway, sorry to see you go, MM. We'll never forget not being able to walk after downing a Messy Marcy.

Oh man, that is a bummer. They’re great, but it is true that I don’t find myself down at that end of Cortland that often.
No, the reason why they are closing is because the people who live in the hood would rather drive to Mitchell’s than wait 20 minutes to be helped by the one inept teenager that they have working there on a hot Sunday afternoon. Sure, the ice cream is good, but the service is ridiculously slow. If there is even one person ahead of you, you can expect a good, long wait.
The reason they are closing is they have the worst service of any ice cream store around and the ice cream is mediocre. And by worst service I don’t mean slow, I mean unfriendly, and very not kid friendly. My friends and I were joking about how bad for business it is for am ice cream store to be so NOT kidfriendly. Well I guess it was so bad for business they closed. I’d drive to Mitchells, or even all the way to Dolores Park to Birite any day rather than walk to Maggie Mudd. They won’t be missed by this Bernal Heights resident.
