Folsom’s cures for puddle people

The heat in the city is cranked up to high now, threatening to turn people into helpless puddles on the street. Vegan citizens need to be armed with a roster of cool-treat stations to avoid being liquefied, no matter where in the 916 they find themselves. If they wind up in Folsom, for instance—perhaps avoiding local TV news reporters trying to fry an egg on a downtown sidewalk—they can taste frozen solace at Jake’s Desserts (280 Palladio Parkway, Suite 929). Jake’s keeps one or two flavors of vegan-friendly sorbet on hand, and they’re all made in-store. There’s also Fluffy Sno (2690 East Bidwell Street), located a stone’s throw away from Folsom Lake College. This undergrad-magnet Vietnamese eatery and boba shop has sweet, fruit-flavored, Slushee-like shaved snow in raspberry, lemon and watermelon, among others—useful tools in the prevention of people puddling.
