| - I am not an ice-cream lover. If I'm going to eat it, it has to be exciting and it has to be good. BBIC fulfils this. My favourite product is their mochi. Those are amazing and if I could I'd order boxes of them. If not that, then a cup/pint. No regular cones, as far as I remember. The cookies that make the sandwiches are okay, and the waffle so-so. I'm surprised those are so popular. It works out for me, because I've seen those machines break down enough times. Also because there's no seating, unless you're parked, it might be annoying to walk with the sandwiches or waffles depending on the weather. If you're getting the sandwich, DON'T make the mistake of thinking 'half sandwich' means 'small'. I love to eat, but a full sandwich was more than I needed (and messier).
The wait: Like many places with crazy wait times, it's less fanaticism and more lack of space. As well as employees that could try to pick up the pace a bit, though they're certainly good at hurrying you along (which can be a problem if it's your first time. Here are all these wild new flavours, but you can't sample them properly. A friend of mine was soured on them because of this). But the ice-cream itself is top notch and worth it. I've tried many, but my favourites are Corn on the Cone and Taro. Their chocolate flavours aren't anything new, so if you're making the effort go for something different.
I'm sure many people know this, but if you're after their more popular flavours, go to Bakerbots up the street at Ossington Station.They're sister companies, I believe they make the cookies and they've got some of the flavours with less wait (not 'no' wait).
