| - Who knew getting help for your sweet tooth could be a seven step process? I'm not the biggest dessert person, so checking out a brand new ice cream shop in town wasn't exactly something I'd normally jump at. But the fact that your ice cream is made to order got me interested; who wouldn't want to watch their custom ice cream creation get created right in front of them? The process goes something like this:
1) Pick the size of your scoop
2) Choose your flavor base
3) Sweeten with sugar or agave syrup
4) Choose your milk base
5) Add chunks (cookie dough, fruit, etc.)
6) Choose cone or cup
7) Add toppings
With so many steps and options, it would be great if they had pre-printed worksheets where you could check off or circle all the ingredients for your custom treat; currently they take your order verbally, which admittedly had me rechecking the menu several times during the ordering process so that I didn't lose track of what I had intended to order. Yes, it's a little clunky at the moment, but with some fine tuning the process will go much smoother.
As for the final product, I was pleased to get a lactose free ice cream scoop. I rarely go for Baskin Robbins or Coldstone because my stomach hates me afterwards; it can tolerate frozen yogurt with next to no problem; but after eating Atomic #7's ice cream, I felt perfectly fine! Other than that, the novelty of the ice cream gradually wore off as I finished my ice cream. For the most part, I felt like it could have been a scoop of Breyer's (that didn't upset my stomach) from the grocery store, and my taste buds would have been just as happy. It's a neat idea that's fun to experience once, but I can't guarantee that I'll be back.
