| - This is technically an update to my last review, but since it got pushed into the CMYE section this is a new one.
Anyhow, I went here about a week ago and decided what the hey, I'll try it out again since I'm in the area. I got a medium cookie dough/caramel ice cream made with almond milk, with soy whip and rainbow sprinkles. The total came out to $6. Six dollars! S-I-X D-O-L-L-A-R-S!!!
The quality of the ice cream was a lot better than the CMYE fiasco, but it was still about the same and in no way worth $6, sorry. I can get an entire PINT of vegan cookie dough ice cream for $4. Oh and it's still certified organic, too. It still tasted good, but the price is outrageous. Also, I couldn't taste the caramel ice cream. It wasn't strong at all. The only flavor that did register was the cookie dough mix-in.
I do however like the setup of the store better. They make you fill out their menu with markers which makes ordering a lot easier and the register is right in the front.
Overall though, I don't think I would come back here anytime soon. It is an absolutely wonderful concept but the prices are out of control. When someone can make their own creation at home for almost half the price and is big enough for TWO people, why bother? The fact that it is made in the way it is still doesn't justify the extra price tag. You know why I still shell out $5 for a vegan red velvet cupcake at a certain cafe? Because you can't find it on store shelves (well, you can at Whole Foods now but that's beside the point) and it's difficult to make at home. Such is not the case with vegan ice cream. I came, I tried, my bank account cried.
