I can't believe I haven't reviewed OCIC. They are re-opening for the season in March and I can't wait. Actually, I can and should because I'm pretty sure I gained 10 pounds visiting this place nearly every day last summer!
The cookie monster ice cream is really good - oreos and chocolate chips cookies. All of the sorbets are worth a try (my favorite was the kiwi strawberry). By the end of the summer, I found a new staple: banana soft serve with hot fudge and cone crunch. OMG. I can't stop thinking about it right now!
I've heard they are going to renovate and add more seating. That being said, the curb appeal is not the best - a lot of people might overlook it for that reason. But this is a classic, neighborhood joint that attracts all kinds of people. Definitely reflects the Ohio City neighborhood more than any other food establishment that I can think of. I love it.
