| - I normally wouldn't do a review after only one visit. However, Sweet Addiction is very far from where I live. Probably about a 25 minute drive with light traffic. So, with that being said - it is a good thing Sweet Addiction is so far from my house because if they were close I'd be here every weekend getting my sweet tooth on.
First off, it's such a novel concept - ice cream, cookies... who doesn't love ice cream and cookies? Then you put them together - and BAM - well of course, awesome ice cream sandwich with wickedly awesome, fresh baked cookies!
When my fiance and I arrived here on a Sunday evening it was not too busy, although there were a few families eating at the tables when we walked in. The staff was very friendly and were giving samples to the customers in front of us in line. I decided on the chocolate chip cookies (mostly because some had just come out of the oven) and the mocha almond fudge ice cream. My fiance got the cake batter ice cream with the M&M cookies. He said his cookies were a bit tough, but mine were awesomely perfect. Having just come out of the oven they were soft and the little bit of heat gently melted down my delicious Thrifty ice cream so I could squish the sandwich enough to get it dispersed evenly.
I have never heard of Thrifty ice cream until this shop opened, but apparently it is very popular in California? I noticed no difference between it and other specialty ice creams I've had. I mean, it was good, but the best ice cream I've had in my life? Probably not.
Overall - such a great concept. Very good portions for a very cheap price. Both mine and my fiance's sandwiches came to just a little over 5 bucks! That's a steal.
