We went here as a treat for our mom for Mothers' day. There was a line up. And I can't fully say it was worth it... because it's not gourmet ice cream, it's soft serve, which is disappointing. But it was something new and exciting to try especially in the 'hood.
I got the Lemon Meringue one. Their lemon chip was tasty... Their cones are also tasty... very doughy and definitely fresh. I would love to have tried a savoury cone with the ice cream, unfortunately this is not an option.
I didn't like that in order to clog the bottom of the cone, to prevent the ice cream from dripping out, they stuff a Lindor chocolate in there. Yes, Lindor is delicious, creamy and rich, but it was sweetness overload what with the ice cream, the cone and the toppings all also having sugar. This is similar to the Drumsticks that have chocolate at the bottom of the cones. And in my opinion would've been a nice touch if it was dark chocolate instead, to offset the sweetness and have the bitter antioxidant goodness of this treat enhanced.
I'd go again to try a savoury item.
