From someone that has sworn off desserts since overdosing on Little Debbie's in college, I have to say that the ice cream at Mitchells is delicious. Creamy, flavorful, and just the perfect mix of ingredients. Although maybe a little on the pricey side, I can say that I've been there twice now in the past month, even brought the in-laws there, and each time was terrific. I went with the peanut butter chocolate chunk.....YUMMM!
I really think that 5 stars would be not only taste of product but also the experience of 'having ice cream'. I picture the old ice cream stands where you sit outside on picnic tables or ride your bike up to the stand and hang out with friends. Mitchells is far from a local stand but it still gets 4 stars for making damn good ice cream.
Maybe my summer experience will be a little different but for those who have never been to Mitchells, please do your self a favor and stop by. Its perfect after a day of shopping in Beachwood.
