Every ice cream shop is the same, amirite?

I live near a large ice cream shop/farm that makes all their ice cream from scratch and I can assure you that not every ice cream shop is the same

I am within a few hours of a very well known creamery and getting it in house is absolutely different

Maybe it's your country. I'm Italian and we definitely have icecream places that are better than others

You've obviously never been to Italy.

I… have not. 😂 I'm just messing, I'm sure Italy has great ice cream, relax folks

If you had a quality Italian gelato you'd know how much better it can be than Dairy Queen.

I am not American and I find it hilarious how seriously you people take your ice cream

That would still make you wrong, not every shop is the same

Of all the countries I've been, we had the best icecream

You do. OP is just being ridiculous.

There's an Italian ice creamery near my in-laws and it is 100% the best ice cream I've ever had. Ever. Before we move next year we are taking a trip just to take the kids there.

Just a heads up DQ is not even ice cream it doesn't have the minimum amount of cream in their "ice cream" mix to be called ice cream that's why it's referred to as soft serve. That's why I think most mom and pop ice cream stands are better the ice cream is just creamier

I think people see there's a difference between ice cream that's scooped and what comes out of a machine when you pull a handle.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

It's not just that. Even other ice cream that comes from a machine that you pull the handle is ice cream because it has a higher cream percentage. DQ is 6% cream other places s as re normally 10% but can go as high as 17%

but if I'm being honest, they are only marginally better than Baskin Robbins or Coldstone. This is exactly my point.

I live near a place that's "worth the drive" and they give huge portion sizes. It feels like I'm stealing every time I ask for two scoops lol. They also have crazy flavors, but not in the trendy sort of way. Just stuff you could never get in a chain. It's one of the only places I actually signed up for rewards for, because it's that good. But it only has one location.

Why tf are you eating wagyu ice cream???

by Anonymous 6 months ago

So you are suggesting that literally every ice cream shop serves organic rose water charcoal wagyu sundaes? What a weird take when flavors are as abundant as the creative mind coming up with them

by Aggressive_Pay 6 months ago

It depends. Most places use bulk ice cream they have delivered, those are all the same. There is a local place where I am where the chef and owner won a massive award (he owns multiple restaurants around) and that ice cream is made from scratch and kicks ass.

I like trying different flavors. I don't like the basic ones like vanilla and cookies and cream as much. My town has a bunch of different ice cream shops and most of them taste very different. One is custard and more filling, one is more thick and rich, one is light and airy, one has very unique flavors. I wouldn't drive 2 hours just for ice cream though. The ones in my town just taste very different from each other

Around here, Molly moon, is overpriced. I'm not saying they are bad, but is it worth the money.

My local favorite ice cream shop makes a Carmel popcorn crunch sundae, and I don't think that's a everywhere thing. If you're talking about chains then yes.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

There is a real popular one in my town where if you ask for a twist chocolate and vanilla they look at you like you're insane.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

This sounds like the opinion of someone who just orders a cup of chocolate soft serve at any place they go to

Generally speaking

Yeah I have to disagree. Spent 12 days in Cleveland, they have amazing local ice cream places. Every place was so different and really good. Didn't come close to DQ or BR.

This is how I feel about the best and worst pizza or burger shop in any given town, as described by the locals.

by Mission-Cat-3100 6 months ago

The best ice cream shop is one that serves Superman ice cream which is the best in the world.
