Results of the Great Ice Cream Taste Test Are In!

First, a review of the rules:

• Our ice cream shop choices included Krista K's, Cape Cod Creamery, The Brewster Scoop, The Ice Cream Smuggler, and Sundae School. We chose the ice cream shops based on word of mouth from the locals, written reviews and curiosity about certain shops.


• At each location, we ordered the same thing, kid sized scoops of Oreo (me), Vanilla (Talya) and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Michaela) in a sugar cone (chocolate or rainbow sprinkles were optional).


• We rated each ice cream shop for Taste, Flavor and Topping Selection, Service, Aesthetics, Quality of Preparation, Convenience and Cost. We rated each shop on a scale of 1-5.

Comments:

All three of us really enjoyed our ice cream at The Ice Cream Smuggler, we actually thought that perhaps that shop would win. I imagine that on occasion, we may go there on our way home from the beach. I was so disappointed by the ice cream at Krista K's that it is unlikely that we will ever return, however, it is around the corner from the house - its convenience can't be beat. The Brewster Scoop was fantastic and had some flavors that greatly appealed to us. However, it is SO far and inconvenient AND there is no place to sit and hang out there. We will be going there this weekend since we will be in Brewster, and we are really looking forward to it! The Cape Cod Creamery was a delightful find that isn't too far from the house. We really enjoyed the atmosphere there. And of course, our favorite Sundae School with its great tasting ice cream and its player piano and the ceiling fans that Ayelet loves.

Here are the results:

Taste - Sundae School

Flavor and Topping Selection - Krista K's

Service - Sundae School

Aesthetics - The Ice Cream Smuggler

Quality of Preparation - tie between Sundae School and The Brewster Scoop

Convenience - Krista K's

Cost - The Ice Cream Smuggler ($5.85)

The overall winner of the taste test is Sundae School! There is nothing like the taste and feel of Sundae School ice cream! You know where we are off to tomorrow!
