| - I so badly want to give My Favourite four stars, but there are a few things that are preventing me from doing so.
My Favourite has been a neighbourhood staple for well over 15 years, and most summer nights you can see crowds of people outside the small store consuming their ice cream and a cluster if people inside waiting to be served. When I was younger, I would eagerly count down the days until My Favourite opened.
For the past few years now, I would say that I have been continuously less impressed. While their product offering had remained the same (Greg's ice cream, create-you-own frozen yoghurt with the choice of two flavours, and a random assortment of Popsicles and frozen treats), their prices have definitely gone up, to the point that it might be more worthwhile to take a walk on a lovely summer's day / night to one of the Yorkville establishments. However, I would recommend the mint chip ice cream without hesitation! It is not the sickly fake green colour that is commonly found in mint chocolate chip ice creams, and it has a refreshing minty taste with real tasting chocolate chips.
As previous reviewers have mentioned, service can be unpredictable. Sometimes you have a really nice server and sometimes it seems as if they couldn't care less whether or not you buy their product.
I also have to comment on the great name - My Favourite! I love it when it say to my friends, "Let's go to 'My Favourite' for ice cream", and they respond with a confused, "Okay, what place is your favourite?".,, no no, it's called My Favourite!
