I have not yet tried Jeni's. I hear it gets mixed reviews from my family home in Bexley.
I come from a town where I could walk to my Graeter's so that is what I base MY experience on. Never been a huge fan of Malley's ( too much pink, place needs a serious update and improved ice cream)
That said, I had been to Mitchell's before when they first opened and I was not so impressed, However being that on our last day of school our tradition of going to Malley's was hampered by being filled with interlopers, I headed my ice cream hungry crew over to River to Mitchell's.
Second time must have been the charm! My kids LOVED the Salted carmel, I went nuts over the Chevre Strawberry rubarb and the tiramisu! I am a foodie, gourmet, food snob what ever one likes to call it. This was DeVINE! my younger kids went more traditional and still raved. My eldest loves Greater's Black raspberry chunk and said Mitchell's was good close second.
I am actually craving the Tiramisu which tasted so close to the actual dessert I bought a pint!
if you are serious about GOOD quality ice cream, then RUN to Mitchell's and skip the Malley's froo froo....
