| - After sampling their ice cream at the new location and comparing the taste and texture of what I remember at the old 7th location, the conclusion is this can't be the exact same recipe they claim it is. Besides the fact that some of my favorites are gone (Lemon Custard), the Butter Pecan was very strange. Instead of being the usual ice cream in a frozen form or in a melty form, it was gummy and more like a gelato than their 20% butterfat or whatever it is they claim it is. The Burgundy Cherry also had that same gelato-gummy texture and the taste was some sort of fake, pungently sweet, cherry. Maybe it has to do with equipment, maybe it has to do with the person putting it together from the supposed exact recipes, maybe both, maybe they really didn't get the rights to the recipes, I don't know--I've never made ice cream and I don't know what really went on beyond what was published in the media. But I do know it is NOT the same as before. Baskin Robbins' cherry and Lemon Custard were very close to the original Mary Coyle's, and seeing how Mary's not up to my expected standard, Baskin's is getting my business now. Current business owners, take note.
