If you get a chance to go to Mashti Malone's or Bert and Rocky's Cream Co, would you mind reporting back? Actually, I'd love to hear an newcomer's report on any of those places. thx ← I was at Mashti Malone's last Friday. They were very friendly (I think I tasted almost every flavor they have before deciding on the two I wanted. I usually use vanilla or chocolate chip as a judge of how good a place is, but I wasn't that impressed by either of theirs. However, their ice cream was pretty good. It's only 14% butterfat, though, and while it is techinically super-premium, it doesn't taste as creamy as it could. I was very happy with my ultimate selections, though. The Ginger Rosewater was good, though after a while I lost the ginger flavor and could only taste the rosewater. And for those that like a rich ice ream, the chocolate fudge brownie was great. The fudge and brownie make up for the not-so-rich plain chocolate ice cream (in the rocky road, I the nuts and marshmallows couldn't do enough for the chocolate flavor). So, if you are in the area, I would definitely pay it a visit. But I wouldn't make a cross-country trek just to get some.
