| - The best time to try an ice cream place you have never been to before is on a freakishly warm April afternoon. There was not a huge line like I was expecting, and I was happy about that. Many people were sitting outside in the front and in the back on the patio. A very bright atmosphere, with the menu in big writing immediately above your head, I was hoping for something more kitschy.
I tried the Lavender flavor before I made my decision, but I think it would have been too strong for me in the long run, so I decided to just try the chocolate. I figured with all the wonderful things I had heard, that the chocolate would still blow me away just as much as a fig or other strange flavor would.
It was expensive, I spent over $8 there on two cones with a junior scoop in it each. I took a bite and alas, incredibly ordinary. It was good, and had a nice chocolate flavor, but it did not blow me away like I thought it would. Maybe I hyped it up too much. I like ice cream that is creamy like Coldstone, and I was really hoping for varieties with chunks of something in them. I am interested in the odd flavors, but when push comes to shove I would take a knock-out vanilla or rocky road over lavender any day. And if I wanted a strange flavor, I believe Razzy Fresh wins that award with their Taro flavored frozen yogurt.
One thing that WAS incredible was their waffle cone. I have actually never had a better waffle cone in my life. Somehow, crunchy and chewy at the same time, I would go back just to experience the cone.
