| - i read the previous reviews before i arrived and was all set to love this place. ice cream was good, but it doesn't taste like traditional ice cream in texture, maybe because alcohol cannot freeze at same temp as ice cream does. service was typical, friendly face.
i'm all about being a femme fatale but am also a business owner too and know that business is business, everything should flow. the ice cream server was wearing a really inappropriate low cut shirt, boobs a plenty spilling over (how many men will want to get some ice cream now? :) the samples were generous and i tipped her $5.
the scoops were just scoops. i was sad for the parlor that the image, branding, logo, marketing of ice cream wasn't getting its just desserts. the ice cream does sell and can stand on its own, but why? someone else out there with deeper pockets will duplicate and package the whole experience much better. where was the dated music in the parlor? where was the soda fountain? the bar to sit at? the varied menu of shakes and bottled water? everyone knows after eating ice cream a good drink of water is a must. there's no decor to help the place out. no wall decor, nothing! also, as a patron i don't want to see what goes on in the back. don't expose that, but why not display local artist wall art if no theme or style can be accomplished. this place felt abandoned.
i think lee could do a better job if she rented food space at a commissary, prepared the ice cream and then bought/rent an ice cream truck and drove to select neighborhoods. she'd still have to play music from the truck to announce herself though. so, while the ice cream can stand on its own, will it endure other rivals who'll make the entire experience more palpable? why not make a cute apron for ice cream booby girl to wear since she's representing the business? well, it all depends, selling ice cream ONE time is one thing, selling ice cream & making a regular customer out of the idle curious is quite another. why not have "buy two get one free" or "10th cone free" cards printed up? why not approach some of the high end restaurants to feature ice cream with ala mode pies on menu? i could see this going bigger and better but the way it's been debut and sold really limits the potential. ok, i see the other side of the coin, that people who are real hard liquor/dairy fans just want the product, no fou fou experience or packaging necessary but still, add a bit more to the menu. seriously not even water? why stop at ice cream? why not waffles or funnel cakes with rum syrup or other ice cream liquor toppings? with so much competition gelato spot, yogurt land, a business person who loves ice cream knows to offer more than just one item.
