| - Food 3/5 (50% of final grade)
I ordered the cookie monster, but they were out of the cookie waffle cone, so they subbed in the marshmallow one for me. The ice-cream wasn't anything special (though it did stain my lips blue for the rest of the evening, which wasn't exactly pleasant), but the waffle cone was nice. The crunchiness of the waffle cone paired with the chewiness of the marshmallow worked surprisingly well together! It was more of the texture I noted on though, because the actual sweetness of the cone was overpowered by the temperature and sweetness of the ice-cream. In general, nothing worth going downtown specifically for, but if you do pass by it, then you should at least buy the cone by itself to munch on as an afternoon snack.
Ambience 2/5 (15% of final grade)
Simplistic at best, there were only a few chairs and tables for seating. This place was obviously meant for the adventurous, rich, young people who don't really care to sit down and enjoy food, and simply want to grab something nouvelle and slightly deviating from mainstream. The chalkboard was illustrated nicely, but otherwise the place was simplistic to the point of being slightly shabby, and the floors had ice-cream stains. I went on a weekday afternoon, so it wasn't busy even... I would wonder how clean they keep the place when it gets really busy. The actual storefront is also incredibly easy to miss--I walked past it at least three times before seeing it (but that might be because I also walk really fast).
Service 3/5 (15% of final grade)
The staff were friendly and refreshing, but not incredibly notable for their service in particular.
Cost 2/5 (10% of final grade)
$8 for average-icecream-saved-only-by-the-texture-of-its-wafflecone is not exactly totally reasonable. I understand that it's downtown core, and the serving was the size of a small meal, but the price was slightly below par for the quality of food I received.
Brownie Points 0/5 (10% of final grade)
The experience was nice in general, but nothing notable enough for many brownie points... I mean, it's ice-cream. What can I say? Thought was put into naming their products, and the presentation, but food can't simply be for instagram! I actually went with a colleague, and he couldn't find the place at all, so I ate the ice-cream without him (savage, I know). I told him it wasn't worth it, and he didn't bother trying it.
Final Grade = 49/100 = 2 stars, but so close to 3.
TLDR: *Maybe* I'll go back for just the waffle cone? *Maybe*?
