| - How come all those boxes in the kitchen say "Baskin Robbins?" I kid!!
I've always loved Mitchell's ice cream, and now we finally have one in Ohio City! The kitchen is not up and running yet, but you can at least view the massive space from the various viewing windows. They even have some art posted in the upstairs. Pro-tip: If you're going upstairs, don't bother with elevator unless you can't do stairs. The elevator is super slow. At any rate, the art isn't my cup of tea, but it's worth a view since my opinions are like butt holes.
The ice cream is, of course, the main attraction. They have a huge selection of flavors and, if you're really unsure of yourself, you can try all of them. I tested their patience by tasting a ton of flavors and they didn't even flinch. Every flavor was full of awesome, except for the salted caramel (blasphemy, I know). That flavor always tasted burnt to me. The chocolate salted caramel, on the other hand, tasted great!. I ultimately got two scoops of a peanut butter fudge ice cream flavor in a waffle cone (hell yeah!) while my buddy got a fancy sundae. Both were awesome.
Overall, service is super good--everyone is really friendly and happy. It's kind of like the service at a hateful chicken (that's Chick-fil-A), but without those scary forced smiles. These folks seem genuinely happy with the job and it shows.
There's a few tables for eating in-house. If it's packed, you may have to sit with some folks you don't know. And that's kind of the appeal.
Overall, I'm a fan. This is surely going to cause a rift between Ohio City and Gordon Square when fans of Sweet Moses riot against the fans of the new Mitchell's. Both are great, but expect this to be the spark that sets off a massive battle pitting ice cream lover against ice cream lover, brother against brother. I'm told that one day, someone will get a scoop from each place in the same bowl, and peace will be restored.
