If I'm looking for delicious, quality ice cream with lots of options for "carrying vessels", I go to Bang Bang. There is always a lineup outside the door but thankfully on our last visit, it moved quickly. They limit ice cream testing to a few flavours during busy periods. I love that you can choose to have your ice cream in one of several cookie sandwiches (or half sandwiches), Hong Kong style bubble waffles, cream puffs, waffle cones, or cups.
The ice cream flavour choice is expansive, with options posted on the front of canisters on the wall. Their ice cream is creamy and has that resistance to bite/chew that I look for in a quality ice cream. My go-to flavour is the London Fog (earl grey), but the Totaro (ube/taro/purple yam with coconut) is one of the best I've had. Their ginger milk ice cream is a definite must try if you love the heat of ginger.
Despite the distance for me to get there, hubby and I will definitely be back!
