| - I'm not much of a food snob--I love a McDonald's hamburger and I get the shakes when I'm eating a footlong Subway Spicy Italian. However, I guess you could consider me an ice cream snob--I can go all year long without eating ice cream at home and never give it a second thought, and I really only get pumped about eating ice cream when I get it directly from a Ben and Jerry's or ice cream parlor. When we moved over to the west side, I realized that I would probably never visit Ben and Jerry's again. Fortunately, Tremont Scoops is close to my new digs, and when my wife scored a new job, we decided to celebrate with some ice cream.
This place automatically gets points because they don't close early. What's up with all the coffee shops around here closing around 7PM? Plenty of bleary-eyed students and young professionals who need their late-night caffeine fix live around here! I was honestly shocked when I learned that they were open until 9PM or so.
One of the biggest problems with getting ice cream in the store is that I have trouble picking a flavor...I absolutely love super sweet flavors like cotton candy and bubble gum, but I also like coconut flavors, and of course there's always mint chocolate chip. However, the aforementioned flavors don't mix well together--cotton candy and mint chocolate chip, yuck! Also, when I'm making one of my intermittent attempts to shed a few pounds, my wife and I will share a cone, which means that the choice is narrowed down even further to one flavor. As I predicted, I had this problem at Tremont Scoops! I couldn't decide between pumpkin, apple pie, pomegranate, and others I can't remember now. Fortunately, the blueberry granola yogurt was out of stock, which made the choice a bit easier! I settled on the pomegranate and my wife had pumpkin. Both of them were great!
Tremont Scoops sells ice cream by weight, not scoop, which is something that I've never encountered before. We got two decent-sized cones for like $4-5 total, which seems reasonable to me. They also sell a wide variety of vegan desserts too, which I would like to try in the future, because I had some vegan chocolate cake a few weeks ago from Poison Berry Bakery in Cleveland Heights and it was light years better than regular chocolate cake! Also, they have doggy ice cream, and I'm sure my dog will enjoy it when I treat him to it (once he stops having accidents in the house on a weekly basis, that is!)
The inside of the place has all sorts of cute paintings of cats and dogs too, and we enjoyed our cones there while locating all of the hidden items in the painting.
Honestly, I can't think of a bad word to say about Tremont Scoops...we had a great time and the ice cream was fantastic! I look forward to going there on a regular basis next summer when the weather's warmer!
