| - I had my first taste of Eva's Original Chimneys when they were a food truck. I was excited to see that they had opened a brick-and-mortar shop.
Came by on a Saturday night and there was a line out the door. It was a nice evening, though, and the line moved relatively quickly so it didn't really bother me. Plus, you can watch the employees making the cakes and cones while you wait in line. It smells AMAZING.
There were so many options on their menu, it was difficult to choose. Some of the options are quite decadent! The space where people stand in the lineup is quite narrow, so I didn't get a good look at the menu until it was my turn to order. I opted for the Berrylicious ($10), which has berry compote, strawberry drizzle, and a strawberry on top. It comes with chocolate soft serve but I asked for a vanilla substitution, which they were happy to do for me.
It was delicious, just like a strawberry sundae from my childhood - sugary and messy and dripping with strawberry syrup down the sides. The cone was crispy on the outside with sweet cinammon sugar and soft on the inside. The soft serve was quite good too, thick and creamy. There's also a Lindor truffle at the bottom of the cone to keep the ice cream from leaking out.
For $10, it's a bit steep. A strawberry soft serve sundae is worth about $2-3, really. You're just paying for a novelty cone. That being said, for an occasional treat, it's worth it and I would go back again.
