Opinions, everyone?

Normally I’m not down with reviewing chains, but I can’t resist hearing what everyone has to say on this. I’ve heard lots of different opinions on Coldstone but never got around to trying it. And then I finally got the chance!

Okay, that was a really crappy story.

Anyway, I was underwhelmed. I’ve heard lots (well, mostly from the girls) about the very high fat content, and while that sounds delicious, I didn’t really like the mouthfeel.

Also, the service was problematic – was I the only one confused about the mix-ins? And the girl behind the counter and I had one of those odd stare-downs where neither can hear what the other is saying.

Dishes I tried:

Cheesecake Ice Cream

It doesn’t feel right to say this was too much cheesecake flavor and not enough ice cream flavor, but I can’t deny the way I feel. It overpowered the taste of the graham cracker pie crust I had mixed in. A shame. It should have been delicious. Oh, but the waffle cone was very sugary and quite nice.
