| - I've got to say, this scoop shop sure fills a void! Prior to its inception, Bloomfield was sorely lacking in delicious, open-late places to grab a cone of your favorite flavor. That said, there are some bugs in the system.
Pro's:
Close to where you live (if you're in Bloomfield or Friendship, that is!)
Ice Cream! (it basically sells itself)
Employs local teens
To-go pints are affordable
Has coffee/chocolate flavor, dark chocolate flavor, and an awesome praline almond caramel
Gluten free red velvet cake flavor
Has a bathroom & place to sit
Cons:
Scoops are somewhat pricey for basic Hershey's/Perry's
Flavors do not include some basic favorites (where's the mint chocolate chip?)
The price is a bit steep for a single scoop of no-frills-came-out-of-a-tub ice cream
Not the cleanest place
Confusing array of colors/flavors targeted at kids in unnatural colors - I was a bit put off by the NEON yellow and BRIGHT blue that both look like play-doh in a tub...
I like that this place is nearby, I will likely go back, but there's nothing other than its lack of competition that sets it apart. I appreciate that it employs local kids, but I wish there was something interesting (a flavor of the week the kids who work there created, free topping of the week, etc.).
