    This is the only Sonic in and around CL that is staffed with people who don't hate their lives and customer service. This Sonic gives me hope, the best ice cream, and a will to live. They don't close early. They don't act like you're asking for a kidney when you're just asking for happy chemicals for your brain in the form of frozen joy. I love this Sonic. The other Bay Area location.... I'd rather eat glass and spend the day at the DMV or listening to slam poetry. P.S. Ezra and Mickey are saints.
