Rita's Gelati

Vanilla/Island Fusion Gelati

Thick & creamy soft serve vanilla ice cream is paired with island fusion Italian ice.  Nice, but, the island fusion gets too sweet… too fast.  Note to self, next time, ask for more ice cream and less ice.

Chocolate/Vanilla Gelati

Rich, thick, creamy, [...]

Musubi & Shave Ice

Pineapple Shave Ice with Coconut Ice Cream

As expected, this was a killer combination.  Creamy coconut ice cream and sweet pineapple syrup created a layered frozen pinita colada (virgin pina colada).  Summer in a glass…

Very yummy.

Next time?  I’m thinking… mango shave ice & coconut [...]

Paolo’s — Pistachio & Cannoli

Cannoli

Creamy, sweet, deliciousness with little bits of chocolate covered cannoli shells thrown in to make this utterly addictive.  But, even the small cup gets a bit too sweet by the end.

Pistachio & Cannoli

One of us cleverly thought ahead, a combination of pistachio and [...]

Sweet Potato Fry Sundae

Sweet Potato Fries, Vanilla Ice Cream & Caramel Sauce

(AKA Sweet Vanilla Haystack)

Did you ever dip french fries in a vanilla milkshake in high school?  This is better.  The sweet potato fries were perfectly crisp and drizzled with caramel sauce.  We both simultaneously commented that we would have been happy [...]

Birthday Cake Milkshake

Zaxby’s Birthday Cake Milkshake

For a fast food milkshake, this is really quite nice.  Birthday cake?  Not really.  But, we both agreed that it did taste of vanilla pudding.  You know the sort of vanilla pudding you see at a cafeteria?  Creamy vanilla pudding layered with ‘nilla wafers and whipped cream… That’s [...]

Super Mercado #5

Figs Stuffed with Caramel

Don’t feel guilty.  There’s a fig wrapped around your caramel.  I love these individually wrapped candies.  One makes a perfect little treat.

Walnut!

Creamy walnut pops… genius!  Love them!

Juice of the Cashew Fruit

I’ve found frozen cashew fruit (cashew apple) on Buford Highway. [...]

Salted Caramel & Maple Bacon Brittle @ Morelli's

Salted Caramel & Maple Bacon Brittle

Given the light color, we were shocked by the richness of this salted caramel ice cream.  The buttery caramel flavor reminds me of sticky toffee pudding.  Love it!

And, the maple bacon brittle is oddly addictive.  The genius is the super-thick brittle coating that covers [...]

Morelli’s — Oreo Cheesecake — Our New Favorite

Chocolate Hazelnut & Oreo Cheesecake

This is one killer combination.  I don’t know which flavor I love more.  And, I love the color and crunch of the sprinkles. (my sugar cone was dipped in chocolate as we waited and generously covered in gorgeous multi-colored sprinkles)  The freshly dipped cone really adds a [...]

Peach Milkshake @ Chick-fil-A

Peach Milkshake

This is surprisingly tasty for a fast food milkshake…  even if the peaches do have that soft (canned) texture.  The vanilla base was pleasantly smooth and mostly creamy.  The classic peaches’n’cream flavor combination works well in a milkshake.  We both agreed.  We’d definitely order this again.

Peppermint Chocolate Chip [...]

Chocolate & Blackberries @ Yoforia

Chocolate with Blackberries

While the chocolate flavor might be pleasant, the texture is coarse with loads of ice crystals and the consistency is watery.  The gigantic blackberries were the real highlight.  They were perfectly fresh and unbelievably sweet.

Yogen Fruz vs Yoforia?

The winner is Yogen Fruz by a mile.
