| - When Starbucks and Coldstone Creamery play pretend, they fight over who gets to be Leap's.
A lot of people mistake frozen custard for an inferior ice cream product. But the moment you taste that frozen creamy goodness, you'll never look at a carton of Dreyer's the same way again.
While they have every add-on imaginable (even pretzels, and I am not kidding), for a first time I suggest just getting a plain flavor, maybe with some syrup. Frozen custard is such a different experience that you have to feel and taste it in the raw.
Like Coldstone, Leap's has a selection of default creations. If you don't feel like mix and matching, I recommend anything involving the word "Cookie" or "Cheesecake".
Don't be fooled by the small portions. A small cup of frozen custard with broken up treats mixed in is surprisingly filling. Save yourself the extra buck or so and stick with the small and get a coffee. The mocha is like whoa.
I've never felt comfortable just "sitting around" in a Starbucks. Everyone is always in such a hurry it just rubs me the wrong way. But man, I could hang out at Leap's all day. Just come in with your laptop, order a sandwich, and just get your browse on. Or bring in a friend and relax on the couch and talk about, I don't know, whatever people talk about while they're drinking coffee and eating frozen treats.
