What do we do after stuffing ourselves with delicious sushi? Damnnnn skippy - we seek out ice cream! Peeked this pace out on Yelp, and made a beeline to it after lunch, and got here about 20 minutes before opening (1pm) which caught us off guard; we also then noticed they are closed Monday and Tuesday, so I guess it could have been worse! Having the menus in the window convinced us to hang around the plaza for a bit - they have many tasty and unique flavors! How could we pass this up, as we took the train here for the day and who knows when we may return?
There are many ways to get your ice cream - scoops, cones - well, that should cover it. Except for having a piece of pie a la mode, but that IS another time!
We got three single scoops - Swiss chocolate, coffee and "Oreo," and a large bowl (here goes my piggy spirit again!) with Thai iced tea, pistachio cherry and raspberry blood orange.
The flavors were all amazing, and the chocolate and coffee were very strong on flavor! Nothing skimped on here. The coffee tasted like a Starbucks salted caramel frap . . . and it DID taste like coffee itself - great surprise!
The Oreo was a hit, and my trifecta of tastiness (thank goodness they didn't have a FOUR scoop option, or I would have popped!) was an odd mix. They don't mix well, so I ate each in order! The Thai iced tea was my favorite, again full of deep flavor. The pistachio cherry to me was mostly cherry, which I love, but all those many chunks of cherry I think overpowered the pistachio flavor's nutty subtleness. And the raspberry blood orange was amazingly light and fruity - so it was overpowered by the other flavors, but thoroughly enjoyed on its own.
This place is great for take-out (no dining in) and it is light, bright and well decorated. The big golden branch overhead is an interesting touch, but helps to ground the talllll ceiling. A map on the wall is a nice touch as well. The staff person this day was friendly and efficient - shout out to her!
I also noticed they have pies - yeah, it's in the name, but still . . . - so I may order ahead when coming up again to try one. If it's even half as good as the ice cream, it will be a winner!
