| - Fun, different place for ice cream and/or crepes. Not your normal ice cream joint . . . this is more sophisticated than Sonic, Baskin Robbins, etc. The shop is tucked away in Dana Park, the decor is clean and gives off this French crepe shop vibe they are trying to create.
Everyone in our group had dipped cones, which I highly recommend. Here's how it works: there are about 6 or 7 flavors of ice cream you can choose from, and then another 7 or 8 types of Belgian chocolate in which you can dip the cone. The ice cream is of the creamy, soft-serve variety. The ice cream itself is not very sweet -- more creamy than anything -- and that's a good thing when paired with the ultra-decadent Belgian chocolate coating. The chocolate which they use to dip the cone is truly superb. This isn't like a DQ dipped cone where the chocolate hardens up and cracks when you bite into it. That's cheap chocolate. This chocolate firms up into a thick outer layer, but remains pliable and "tears" rather than "cracks" when you bite into it. My wife, who is an amateur chocolatier, tells me this is a sign of high quality chocolate.
In short, I would highly recommend this place as a different take on the traditional ice cream shop. You can't go wrong within one of their dipped cones. We didn't get to try the crepes, but we will probably give them a shot sometime down the road.
