Can you guys list your top 2-3 Steve's flavors, in order? I'm looking to try them out for the first time and want to start well

Banana Pudding
Salty Caramel
Coconut Key Lime Pie

[ugasar]

Man! Everyone mentioning that Salty Caramel by Steve's and it is about the only flavor I haven't tried.. Gotta get this ASAP!

[ErickStevens]

We tend to have similar tastes so I'm excited. Off topic but have you found pumpkin oreos yet?

Yep. They're at Publix now.

Not here. I've seen Halloween ones but not pumpkin spice or am I dumb and their the same?

^def haven't seen those. Will keep looking

[emceegrendel]

finally getting to post in here after lurking this thread. bit the bullet and grabbed a pint of the LE Haagan Daas Midnight Cookies and Cream. 7.5/10. Good amount of cookies and chocolate swirl in each bite. Base can get a little sweet, but is expected with cookie with a chocolate base, but overall not too bad!

First post, time to pop this cherry. I'll follow up with a fairly long post giving a list of ratings, but for tonight I'll just say that the Talenti Pumpkin Pie Gelato is daium good; it does indeed have pieces of pie crust that are quite generous. Better than B&J's Pumpkin Cheesecake which is decent in itself. Next up are Graeter's Pumpkin flavor and Trader Joe's Pumpkin Ice Cream.

Palazzolo's Bananas Foster Gelato

So I decided to roll the dice again with another mix-in free Gelato after my experience with Coolhaus. This brand was on sale and I since I am a banana guy I figured this would be a good purchase. Pure coincidence that it happens to be the same flavor (Bananas Foster) as my first Coolhaus pint.

B-

Base was pretty good. It reminded me quite a bit of the Coolhaus gelato, but unfortunately the strength of the flavor was a bit less potent. The really irritating part? Just look at the pics. The first pic is pretty indicative of maybe 95% of the pint. Mostly banana base with very minimal cinnamon rum swirl. Then, suddenly you hit the bottom and there is a massive pool of the stuff. Now, the swirl is great, and it pairs nicely with the base. The very bottom of this pint is a B+ or maybe an A- grade. My question is: why the hell would you put all of the "swirl" at the bottom of the pint? How does that help?

Could have been made a little too warm and while it was in the freezer the syrup could have settled to the bottom. That what seems to have happened to the people with the syrup on the bottom of their Steve's pints.

Interesting. The containers are semi-transparent, so I guess I should check when more shipments come in to see if this is at all standard across the board. Normally I would have done that before purchase numero uno, but I have been fooled by the exterior appearances of ice cream before (seemingly minimal swirl/mix-in content content ends up being a goldmine and vice versa). I have another flavor from these guys in the freezer as well. Seems kind of like a riff on the aforementioned Sunday Breakfast. If I remember right it's vanilla maple gelato with a maple swirl, pancake pieces, and bacon pieces. We'll see how that one turns out. I remember another local guy giving it a "meh" review in the last incarnation of this thread, but if a flavor really appeals to me I always have to see for myself.

In. Late to the party.

Finally picked up Coolhaus Salted Caramel. It was pretty good but not as good as Molten Lava Cake.

Is Haagen Dazs making Peanut Butter Pie again? I could have sworn that it was out of production but Stop n Shop just got like 20 in.

~Chocolate Peppermint Crunch~

BJ continues with the usual chocolate base for this one.. however, the peppermint and fudge swirls is what keeps me coming back for more! They're thicker and add a nice texture to the chocolate base. The mint chocolate cookie balls are crunchy and fresh..if you're a fan of peppermint would recommend! B+

[pkahnman]

Delish made something good!

Tried it last night. Loved the swirl and mixin but the base was weird. I didn't like the texture. Kinda thick. It's the eat delish I've had by fat but I'd go lower than E. Maybe B or B-

Overall this is a very unique and flavorful gelato that should get a look. If you are a S'mores fan you will get a very heavy Graham Cracker base with a good cinnamon like after taste. The chocolate pieces in the gelato are not large in size they resemble the fudge flakes like you would find in a Ben & Jerry's pint which are very mediocre in size but all over the place and in abundant amount. They key feature is the torched marshmallow after a few bites you get full globs of a very soft and gooey marshmallow like it came right off a campfire and melting in your mouth. How they input this into an ice cream without becoming on the harder side and staying in a very gel like and soft like texture is beyond me, but it took the pint over and above expectations. There is no hesitation this is an A Flavor, but for my favorite S'mores I would still rank Wegmans S'mores above it because of the heavy Marshmallow base/swirl, the unique graham cracker base is great, but the mix-ins for the Wegmans pint are heavier (graham Cracker Swirl and larger chocolate chunks which give it the edge. Dairy Queen S'mores Blizzard would rank 3rd overall between those 3 selections and Ben & Jerry's 4th.

Grade: A
