| - This is a stylish newer place that really looks
Like it belongs in a large city but fits well in the town. They primarily serve ice cream and frozen yogurt but have coffee and beverages as well. They have floats and sundaes as well.
We went during the busy time Saturday evening but its not uncommon to wait in line at cafes, restaurants and even stores then in this town. Its quaint and draws locals and people from all over Cleveland so part of the experience.
The person waiting on us was eager to give us samples and we tried a few. We had a sundae and waffle cone of the brown butter almond brittle. It was really good. The waffle cone is $1 extra buy worth it. It wasn't too sweet but had great texture and the flavor added to the overall taste. It does push a single scoop cone over $5.00! Crazy. They do make the waffle cones in front of you using a waffle iron- pretty cool.
I asked one person where the ice cream was made and they didn't know. A second person said Columbus since it was from there and inferred it was a chain (disappointing(:) but temporarily made in Orville Ohio.
If food is from and made in America, free from Chemicals/hormones/mistreated-improperly raised animals I am willing to pay more. But I didn't see that written anywhere so in my mind way overpriced. America is on a craft food revelation.....finally. We can now get good food and beer that is made right and tastes great. People are getting passionate about where the food comes from, how its made, what affects flavor, etc. Its about time. We lost this since the 50's and only people from other countries, large American cities or people that travel know this. We mainly ate heavy processed food that went away from where we started. So craft foods are in. If this ice cream brand is craft variety, the price is still high but I would pay it once in a while, and they should advertise it. If not, you are paying for location and environment and just good ice cream, not great ice cream.
The taste is good, but there are ice cream shops with great tasting ice cream for half the price, albeit not in the quaint town and cool store. Also, coffee is $5, and no explanation that I could see that it was organic etc. I was just in Europe on vacation and had coffee overlooking the Eiffel tower in a quaint cafe and it was less! Chagrin Falls is nice and its a nice store but thats expensive unless it is some really good coffee. Rising Star in Ohio is a coffee specialty store with unique brewing techniques and its much cheaper. Sorry to ramble but I am willing to pay for good food and expensive things can have good value (value = function / cost) but it seems extreme. The prices wont change until sales go's down and the line was long.....but when the novelty wears off this place may be in trouble.
Worth a try but bring lots of money.
