My head said go to the gym but my heart said eat more ice cream...
I've been eyeing this place for a while. This adorable little shop took over Mind Over Batter and I've been wanting to poke my head in to see what they had to offer. Jalsa is exactly a mile away from my gym and I always see it when we're heading to EOS. After an incredibly filling dinner today, like I seriously thought I was gonna explode, I had contemplated going to the gym but I remembered that I've been wanting to try out Jalsa. So obviously, we're gonna get ice cream instead of working out.
They carry 24 flavors and about half them are Indian inspired. They have fig, fennel [tastes like you poured lavender essential oil on your tongue], cardamom, cashew raisin, et cetera. They also have your basic flavors like butterscotch and tutti frutti if you're not as adventurous. My pal Linh L. and I ended up ordering Kelsa Pistachio [Saffron Pistachio] and Rose ice cream. They were both crazy delicious and refreshing. The ice cream was dense and creamy and even as I stood there waiting for Linh to try a bunch of flavors, it didn't melt in this Arizona heat. Wow!
All in all, Jalsa is a cute little ice cream shop with lots to offer. A single scoop ice cream in a cup is $2.99 so feel free to indulge without breaking the bank!
