Driving up N Tryon we've seen this shopping center tons of times and have always said, "hmm, we've gotta try that place sometime". Several years have passed and we finally went. I wish we would have gone sooner.
Ok so enough about the lengthy reasons and excuses. On to the food....
We walked in to the faint smell of Clorox. Lol I know, not appetizing but clean is on the top of my list when I think about places to consume things. Notice I gave this place 5 stars...
Ok so very clean and organized shop. Friendly staff greeted us in Spanish (luckily I speak fluent Spanish) but they speak perfect English too.
They have a huge selection of pops, both dairy and dairy free. Then you move on to the ice cream section. Again, an even huger selection of fresh ice creams and sorbets of all sorts of typical and unique flavors. You will find spicy chili flavors and fruits you've never heard of or even knew existed.
I'm from Miami and I often dream about my favorite fruit, Mamey. It's not a well known fruit in the rest of the US but to my surprise this place had fresh mamey ice cream! What!?!?! Dream come true!
I had not planned on having any ice cream that visit, as I was just going to get some for my family. Well, I ended up having a small cup of the mamey. It was heaven in a cup!
My hubby had the cajeta (dulce de leche/ cream salted caramel) and my child had bubble gum (duh).
Exceptional ice cream!!!!! A must try. And they allow you to sample the variety. For those who are adventurous or like living dangerously, go ahead and try something you've never heard of. You just might like it. ;)
