| - What's Your Dream? This is the question Dream Cream Ice Cream asks...
More than a great place, this is a GREAT concept.
They have been open for a couple of summers, and every time a "first time" customer comes in they receive you with a round of applause. Way to make you feel special!
Once that's done, they introduce you to their mission. Every ice cream flavor represents a cause, it's there to collect money for someone that needs it. It could be for a cure, a shelter or even to help one of their employees save for college. Point is, their mission is to help, and they are genuinely happy to do it. All you have to do is go to their site, share your "dream", pick a flavor and apply.
You might think that they would raise the prices really high to do this but, not at all, at only $3 a generous scoop and $5 shakes, you are going to be able to help again and again, and indulge in their mouthwatering flavors. The birthday cake has real cake in it, the butter pecan is creamy and perfect, they have a peanut butter s'mores flavor, red velvet (which I can imagine is very popular), and many more but, as soon as I saw the Banana Cream Pie, I had to have it. Real creamy banana flavor (my favorite), with wafers. It was the perfect sweet, comforting dessert for a hot summer day.
The menu changes, obviously, with the applicants' choice of flavors, giving people the opportunity to try different things and help many.
As of right now, they are only in Pittsburgh but have the Dream to expand and go to other major cities, with the goal to help more and inspire others to do so. I for one, would eat ice cream every day to see them succeed. Wish their dream, and everyone else's that participates in this wonderful project, comes true.
