| - I honestly hadn't even heard of La Diperie before yesterday, but when my dining companion mentioned its existence and its proximity to where we already were, I was down to try it.
I walked in and was immediately faced with a lot of decisions, but figured I'd just keep it simple. I ordered a small vanilla ice cream topped with dulce de leche. I was asked if I wanted it in a cup or in a cone, and I went with the former.
It's fine. I will say, right off the bat, that offering a cup is a big mistake. The dulce de leche is the kind of sauce that hardens almost immediately after hitting the ice cream, which makes trying to eat it with a spoon extremely difficult. (There's a reason these things are usually eaten with one's mouth, it turns out.)
The ice cream itself is tasty enough, although the texture was disappointingly icy and not nearly creamy enough. The sauce is also fine, but given that they're calling it dulce de leche, it was lacking in that richness one generally associates with that flavor.
I can't imagine ever returning, especially given that most ice cream trucks offer a product of roughly the same quality.
