I use to be a regular at this joint back in university. We walked by it this weekend and had to go back in. It's pretty much the same as back then...store made flavours. All of the flavours are strong and pronounced, their ice-cream is soft and fluffy while being very creamy ....all the flavours are bold and pronounced .
The store's most popular flavour was still Roasted Marshmallow. It still tastes exactly like roasted marshmallow.....great strong flavour, just not my favourite as it's too smokey and sweet for my tastebuds.
My hubby and I got 3 flavours to share. A triple scoop is $6.20 and decently generous.
We got:
Cookies and Cream : while quite enjoyable, creamy with lots of oreo cookie bits ....it was a nice classic flavour.
Chocolate Raspberry : it was AMAZING! They use very good chocolate for this ice-cream and the tartness of the raspberry bits contrasted quite well. I could eat a pint of this.
Lemon Meringue : Oh...my...god..... SO so good. This tastes WAY better then the actual pie, and I like lemon meringue pie. Creamy lemon heaven.....I kind of want to bring my own graham crackers next time to sprinkle on top of a lemon meringue pie. SO so good.
They give out samples to whatever flavours you want to try.....and I loved how homey the store felt. They had children's drawings of gregs ice-cream. My favourite is the cat holding an ice-cream cone. The most memorable was a crayon drawing of a person offering a cow a Greg's Ice-cream cone! :-)
I definitely enjoyed this nostalgic experience to Greg's...as well as the delicious ice-cream. We will be back!
