yeah i belive safeway = vons.... most of the safeway/vons flavors are pretty darn good i really liked the mint cookie or mint moose tracks.

just spotted steve's and jeni's at a local vons, which seems unusual but i won't complain.

Wegmans S'mores Ice Cream~

The gooey marshmallow of the s'mores was perfectly replicated in this ice cream, plentiful amounts of little chocolate pieces! My favorite part of this ice cream was it's grahamcracker swirl that put this s'more over the top! Easy A

What Steve's flavors? I've seen Steve's at various Gelson's and Whole Foods, but it's usually only Salty Caramel and Cold Brewed Cinnamon Coffee. I did find Southern Banana Pudding and Bklyn Blackout at Sprouts, though.

All phin and Phebes sucks.

Is wegmans an east coast only thing? I cant find it anywhere in san diego

First time trying.. Will not be spending $7 on one of their pints any time soon! This was the only flavor that sounded halfway decent to me too..

Yup. they are from buffalo.

Throw me some suggestions on a coffee ice cream that's bitter and low in sugar, has specks of coffee in it. I can't drink coffee for the foreseeable future so this will have to do for now.

Clemmy's Coffee is low sugar and bitter. I like Ciao Bella's but they recently reformulated things so I don't know if that flavor was changed as well/I doubt it's low sugar anyway.

[The Solution]

Picked up the Cookie, PB and Blueberry Gelato From Fiasco.
They did not have smores, also had a Sunday Morning from Steve's, since i have never had that had to pick it up.
They had a Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Truffle but was 170 kcals a serving and passed it up. Dunno how i feel about that.

What brand?

[NotADeltaBravo]

Safeway Select Super Premium - Cookie Dough & Brownie Twist: C

I was really, really excited for this, too. Base was simply vanilla/chocolate marbling, not all that creamy, and the cookie/brownie mix-ins were kind of sparse.

Has anyone had good experiences with Safeway's "Super" Premiums? This was my first and last, unless someone can vouch for a different one.

I dont know if anyone else is in the bay area but so much hnnnnnnng!

You had me confused because it's not a truffle flavor. http://www.gelatofiasco.com/flavors/...amel-sea-salt/

Ooo enjoy that

[gbullock32]

You could say that about any brand.

And I think they have more than 5-6 good flavors IMO

They have had more than 5-6 good flavors, but it seems at any given time there are only 5 or so greats out with others being discontinued or seasonal.

thought it said Truffle, either way 170 kcals a serving i am not going to pick it up i would be too sketpical on flavor for a low kcal amount, then again never had it, so cant judge it, but the other 3 have pretty good reviews by you guys so i got em. Wish they had smores.

Ooo enjoy that

hope its good

My earth fare has stepped it up. Tons of new stuff I haven't tried. Went with Steves Mexican Chili Chocolate tonight. Solid B. Would have liked a little more kick. Loved the chocolate bits but they were tiny and not enough of them. Overall a good flavor

^Haven't been in mine in months.. Guess I need to scope it out and hope for new products as well!

[Tuberacer]

This was my first and last, unless someone can vouch for a different one.

Don't expect many mix ins in any of their flavors, but their toffee/cookie and Banana foster flavors are solid if you don't mind ice cream in it's simplest form.

Same here

[igglesphan]

Latest LE flavor from TH... good stuff

[The Solution]

Limited Jeni Flavors

Pineapple upside down cake buttermilk frozen yogurt, (300kcals a serving for a Fro-Yo!) - Would give a B
cherries Kickapoo - C- did not like the base tasted like pumpernickle and the cherry was way overpowering
saison with sunflower seeds and golden flax - B- was ok, but nothing great.

Got to sample a new Chocolate Macaroon cookie with one of their previous Mint flavors which was divine... would highly suggest it.

[deveritt]

Finally made it to the US for work. Tried B&J: Cinnamon Buns for the first time. Did not disappoint.

What's the general consensus concerning Safeway Select Super Premium ice cream? Does it vary by flavor? Looking to pick one or more up but want to gain opinions beforehand. Thanks, guys.

for the most part I've enjoyed most of the safeway brands....dont usually get the super premium ones though...one of my favorites was Safeway Select Oatmeal Butterscotch...if you like oatmeal cookie chunk (its pretty darn close tbh) thats about as close as you will get to it. and I liked the birthday cake flavor as well.

[skiier54]

just curious- what time do you guys usually eat your ice cream, and if it's a pint, do you usually finish it in one sitting? i feel morning/afternoon is the worst time to eat this stuff since it makes you want to eat more junk an hour or two later.

[Credz]

Was Delicious. Tasted like eating Apple Jacks! The pie crust pieces were awesome.





Yuenglings Chocolate marshmellow
This was awesome. I love their chocolate ice creams so smooth.




Haagen Daz Sea Salt Caramel
This is very good. I will be finishing it off tonight . The caramel is spot on for me I think.

I wasn't too impressed with the chocolate base.. kinda boring after a while imo lol
