Great addition to Shadyside! They do the light subtle flavors best, overwhelmed by the richer ones and the waffle cone was weirdly soft, lacked a good crunch throughout (some people may like this).
Loved the ice cream texture- did not have any issues with it being too soft like another reviewer noted- it has a nice bite to it.
We took advantage of the very generous amt of sample tries from their ceramic tasting spoons (so fancy).
Banana rum - my favorite, banana really shone through!
Orange poppyseed- hubby got this and we enjoyed the creative flavor combo, tasted like a yummy poppyseed pastry
Vietnamese coffee- strong coffee notes but somehow did not wow me
Pistachio (mixed with something)- delicate light and delicious
Salted caramel- went on a whim and got a whole scoop of this without sampling because it got good reviews- total mistake. The caramel is so overwhelming and rich I almost felt sick and couldn't taste anything past the first bite, it was a tragedy but i ended up "sacrificing" the rest of the scoop into a trash can (unreal if you know me) just so I could enjoy the rest of my cone (filled with the banana winning flavor).
I will say the waffle cone $1 is a great way to up your ice cream volume but I was disappointed by the cone texture. Very weirdly soft and bendy on the inside. Not the crunch I was looking for.
I am giving this 4 stars because it is generally excellent artisan ice cream that usually hits the spot and fills an ice cream gap on the burgh!
