I have recently discovered I love dipped soft serve. I got the mini (2nd smallest) orange soft serve with salted caramel dip, and my friend got the maple soft serve with chocolate hazelnut dip. Both were delicious and the dips with some texture/crunch to them, through salt or nuts, are the best dips if you aren't getting the crunchy topping. They also let you try the dip after you pay but before the guy actually dips the cone, which is nice. The shell is indeed very thicc.
