Now, I like to think of myself as something of an ice cream aficionado, but honestly, I'm not getting it on this one. That doesn't mean that it tasted bad, but I can't see myself doing it again for the price. I have a great Mexican ice cream place that's much closer to me, and more than half the price.
They do put on a little show though, so I can see why they might get a lot of people to start, but I don't know how they'll keep people coming back. You can basically watch the whole process from them making my "S'mores" flavor rolls.
Ingredients on the freeze plate...
Add ice cream base...
Mix it to hell...
Spread it out for freezing...
Roll it up for serving...
For my money, I would not only mix-up the flavor toppings into the ice cream, but I would also ask to spread more, less disintegrated, flavor mix ins into the final sheet before it's rolled up. As it is, you get some of the flavors coming through, but it's all been beat to hell by the spatulas. It isn't a great mouth feel, imo.
For the cost ($8 at this place) you also don't seem to get much more than one scoop of ice cream. That's really expensive for so-so ice cream. I think I can get a entire half-gallon at the supermarket for that cost, or a couple pints of premium ice cream on sale.
