| - After dinner on the terrace, we were looking to get some Babcock ice cream. Unfortunately, the outdoor ice cream Babcock stand was closed at 9pm, so we had just missed it. Thankfully, the guy closing up shop said there was more Babcock ice cream inside the union at Daily Scoop.
The line is ridiculous. It is about a 15 minute wait. Is it worth it? The little 5 year old girl in front of me would say so. Her parents tried every ounce of logic to convince her to get ice cream elsewhere, but when they asked if she still wanted ice cream from here, it was a resounding "YES!"
In my opinion, I don't like the fluffiness of the Babcock ice cream compared to some of the denser and harder ice cream in Atlanta, so I was thinking this deserves more of a 3.5 star. However, they do have some fun flavors, so I'll round it up to a 4 star.
BLUE MOON
This is a deceivingly named ice cream, because it is not related to the Blue Moon craft beer at all. Instead, it is a fruit flavored ice cream that straight up tastes like a ice cream version of Fruit Loops. I tried a sample of it, and it definitely is very unique, and would see how kids would love this flavor and the blue coloring. However, please don't order it thinking it is craft beer ice cream.
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH
This flavor was mostly a vanilla cream based ice cream with a bunch of chocolate chips, and unfortunately not any noticeable cookie dough chunks. Because of the lack of cookie dough chunks, I wasn't a fan of this.
ORANGE CUSTARD CHOCOLATE CHIP
This was superb! It reminded me of my elementary school days with a hint of the orange cream Flintstone pops with a bunch of decent sized chocolate chip pieces. It was worth the purchase.
MOCHA MACCHIATO
This was my favorite of all the flavors I tried. The coffee flavor added just the perfect amount of bitterness to offset the sweetness of the ice cream. My general disappointment with the rest of the ice cream was that it was too sweet and fluffy for my liking and wish I had something to wash it down. The Mocha Macchiato was the perfect balance of flavor.
Waffle cone? Yes. Get it.
