Hopped on the motorcycle and went for a ride, so i figured I would check out Z's which is getting some good press. Located pretty far out on Boston Road near W. 130th is Z's with a very nice and big store. They clearly spent some time and money building this place. Inside is very warm and welcoming, a large dining area surrounds the counter. You can get coffee, soft serve ice cream or homemade hard ice cream. Although they don't have a huge selection of flavors, they do have some unique flavors. I sampled the kettlecorn and had a cup of the dark chocolate and the maple and pancake ice creams. The portion size is large, which justifies the cost of a double. The ice cream has a wonderfully balanced base, smooth and creamy with a good mouth feel. The kettlecorn was a nice representation of a flavor that should be hard to make into an ice cream. The maple was very flavorful with nice chunks of pancake. The dark chocolate was very rich, not as loaded with cocoa as some I have had, but very smooth and satisfying.
Overall Z's does a great job with its ice cream and is well worth a visit if you are in the area.
