I rarely see their Chocolate PB Cup flavor get love on here, but it along with SSC are my favorites.

SSC and PB Cup i liked better than Pecan, not the biggest fan of nuts for mix-ins over PB and cookie dough. The amount of truffles in SSC though were unreal with a great base. Talenti did that one right.

you thought southern pcan was a caramel base

Currently working on Steves Speculoos Cookie Butter. Initial impression is meh. The BJ core blows it away. The non dairy base just tastes off. Ive decided im not a huge fan of Steves. Last 4 or 5 have been let downs

tasted like it with the combination of the dulce de leche swirl from my scoop and experience.
Ice Cream Informant said the same thing:
"his buttery gelato is velvety, rich and, as far as feel is concerned, comes the closest to their famous caramel."

These have been out for months now.. This is actually the last week Coldstone is offering them, as the company is bringing in new mix-ins for fall/winter!

Your reviews have been saviors as of late. Steve's Caramel and Speculoos had lots of positive reviews but seeing something to counterbalance them is just enough to feed my existing skepticism from previous experiences.

Was thinking the same thing, ColdStone had these out for awhile back in Sac, wasn't sure if maybe it was just branching out more though or something.

I've never had a great experience with Steves, and i've had sunday morning, brooklyn chocolate cake, mexican chili and their dairy free mint. They were decent pints but by no means worth the price.

The only one I actually like was Salty Caramel... others aren't that great.. imo

You're crazy. Steve's is hit or miss (mostly miss) but I loved Speculoos and Whoopie Pie. I think it helped I got good pints because I've seen some really, really bad pints from them with almost no mix-ins. I also really like Blackberry Crumble. But that B&J's Speculoos is base is so fuking bland...

Guess what's back?

So jealous of all you people who have access to publix.

Agree on B&Js speculoos. Almost felt like the vanilla and caramel cancel out eachother. The core was ok and the cookie pieces too, but I had a rather small core and not a lot of cookies in my pint.

That Caramel Mountain Tracks is SOLID!!! I bought it on a whim and absolutely loved it! One of my favorite Publix flavors!!

No new publix flavors here yet. I dont have any of the other steves you mentioned. My experience is

Like-mexican chilli choc and salted caramel

Suck-peculoos, choco salted caramel, sunday morning, brookkyn blackout

[lazymuchacho]

Was not a fan of B&J Speculoos because I was expecting a cookie butter core in the style of Trader Joe's Cookie Butter, but the Core was not nearly sweet enough.

Might get Salty Caramel and Speculoos from Steve's down the road, but no urgency as of now.

Their only flavor I would buy again without hesitation is Sunday Morning. The maple swirl was fantastic and at least there were some waffle mix-ins to entertain me. #basic

I don't mind Steve's, not my favorite though; have a friend who is lactose intolerant and he loves Steve's though- only 'good' dairy free option really.

Ive only had Steves mint chip, but id take so delicious cashew milk snickerdoodle and salted caramel over that any day. Macrs on the cashew milk pints are pretty good too. ~750 for a pint.

Had a couple SO Delicious pints too, so far they are not bad but nothing I would go out of my way to get. Again though, for non-dairy they aren't half bad.

picked a few of these up from a local organic market on Sunday, it was buy 2 get 1 free. Cost was $4.99 per tub so just under 10 bucks for 3.



I got Hazelnut, peanut butter chocolate and coconut.

look to be honest, its pretty crap lol, but the girls selling it where smoking and I gave in.

Expectations couldnt have been too high if you had seen the ingredients. Water and whey as the first two.

Pretty pricy too. Almost 8 bucks a pint.

New Orleans Ice Cream Co. Coffee & Chicory



http://theicecreaminformant.freeforu...coffee-chicory

If you enjoy coffee-flavored ice cream, and have purchase Café au Lait & Beignets before this is similar but without mix-ins. The small twist of a bittersweet caramel taste adds a nice compliment to a lower caloric option on the New Orleans line. While this is a very basic offering it was good, but does not meet up to the standards of the other pints NO Ice Cream Company has to offer

Grade: C+

[usawinston]

Cheese crown by graeters -- A
Top 5 graeters. Cheesecake base is unique and quite good. Icing swirl was almost like white chocolate, amazing. Struessel pieces were very good but would have liked them larger, in graeters fashion.

Coldstone Cake Batter Batter Batter



Haven't been to Coldstone in a very long time and passed one while traveling yesterday so I decided to stop in. Went with the cake batter base and added cookie dough & brownies. Good combination and two of my favorite mix-ins for sure! They had just stocked the pumpkin and I sampled it, but decided on the cake batter since everyone raves about it.. Will hopefully be able to venture back to try the pumpkin before season's end!

That looks solid (slang for UNREAL)

I've yet to find pumpkin/seasonal offerings, and it's been mid-summer-like hot here anyway, so I picked up Toasted Coconut Gelato from Graeter's. Really good authentic coconut flavor in this one. The coconut flakes are a bit underwhelming as an add-in, but I'm not sure what else could go in their place without it become some combination offering/not purely coconut. I'll definitely pick this one up again the next time I feel like coconut.

[SOH11]

Bought the 7-11 S'mores and the Gelato Fiasco S'mores. Both were good, but holy crap is the 7-11 one amazing. That graham cracker flavor...bliss.

[gbullock32]

Got this after a long day, was hot and tired, definitely a great pick me up!

[ugasar]

Ahhh yeah, just received my shipment from Salt & Straw.. Will be tapping into these guys real soon!

[nakkiz]

You dropped some serious dough to have that shipped to GA! In for reviews!
