"I've been wanting to try Made By Marcus forever and my only regret is that I hadn't tried it sooner! I must say that Made By Marcus is definitely smoother, creamier, and more affordable than Village and just about any other artisan ice cream place. \n\nWhen we ordered, we were told that a single scoop ($5) is actually 2 scoops and 2 big scoops it was! I tried the Strawberry Roasted Buttermilk and the Caramelized Pineapple Rum (it's weird because I don't normally like ice cream with alcohol and pineapple isn't really my go-to fruit but this was so good!) \n\nI also couldn't turn down the macarons (8 for $12!!) which were significantly cheaper than any other macaron that I had tried. They're also handmade, local and gluten free which is a score! \n\nThe macaron flavours were: Chocolate & Caramel, Vanilla & Earl Grey, Mango & Coconut, Lemon & Thyme, Raspberry & Hibiscus, Pistachio & Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, & Salted Hazelnut. I'm super picky with flavours and was a little hesitant as there were some flavours that I wouldn't have picked if it hadn't been prepackaged but I was impressed by every single one! My boyfriend, who does not see the appeal in macarons usually, also said they were yummy! \n\nAfter trying the ice cream and the macarons, I must say that I am very impressed at how well flavours are paired together here! I will definitely be back."^^ . "2017-04-18T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ . "5"^^ . . "0"^^ . .
