| - Mitchell's is one of the things about Cleveland which will make it hard to leave when the time comes. I am not an ice cream person, but when I am, I am a snob. If it isn't great, it isn't worth it.
First, I love that they are very open and honest and meticulous about where they source their ingredients. Everything that can be purchased locally, is purchased locally.
Second, I love that they have interesting and unique flavors. The Edmund Fitzgerald Porter ice cream is my favorite that I have ever had. It is not uncommon to find a pint of it in my freezer. I've also been stunned by the decadence of the caramelized chocolate. I don't love chocolate ice cream, but this is just amazing. Not too sweet. I've also tried most of their seasonal flavors--berry crumble, peach, apple cider concoctions, pumpkin spice, juniper/olive oil/orange--all amazing. They taste exactly the way that they should taste except better and creamier.
Third, having cut dairy almost completely out of my everyday diet, their vegan ice cream is fantastic. Their vegan ice cream is better than most regular ice creams. It is wonderful, rich, creamy, good flavors, absolute excellence.
The cookie dough ice cream has massive chunks of cookie dough in it. The peanut butter chocolate concoctions have loads of peanut butter and chocolate. It's a beautiful thing. The portions are generous (I usually get a junior size or a pint to go).
If you're in the area, indulge. Mitchell's is fantastic.
