I hope that these expansions don't entail a move away from quality (see Jeni's before when it was produced in a smaller kitchen vs. industrial scale):

Have you seen the new factory that Ample Hills is moving into? Crazy advanced to where I can't imagine quality will be the same.

Me too. I am hopeful though. They've been planning/dreaming about this for over a decade.

"The plan outlined a modernized version of the 1940s-era soda fountain, serving a mixture of ice cream and alcohol—a combination that has always made sense. Ultimately, the group decided to focus on making superb ice cream and building the brand before revisiting the soda fountain idea. “It’s always been in the back of my head,” says Mason. “It’s nice now that it’s coming to fruition"

Sounds like Ted's Bulletin in DC, but I think it will be better. I'm definitely signing up for a tour.

Have not but am clearly concerned; perhaps, another trip into the city to bring back 10 pints of It Came From Gowanus & 5 Commodores is in order.

Hmmm...next time I get a break to leave Philly, it's on.

"...sundaes such as coconut ice cream with warm grilled pineapple, toasted coconut, and coconut dulce de leche..."

almost drooled.

So they won't get the new Little G loaded tonight so it can't be used on those vouchers.......................................

[SOH11]

Yeah saw that.

Oh well. Got a chocolate shoofly pie with 12 whoopie pies and a berry crumb pie for $104 shipped with my voucher.

[Tyler2106]

How is Little g ready to ship, but Goldbely won't make their stuff available?

[lazymuchacho]

They can try to shift the blame onto Goldbely but they effectively waited until the night before the homework was due to start it...

Unsurprisingly this is what happens when you follow that policy.

This company continues to be run with the organizational soundness of a lemonade stand.

That's what I was thinking, but didn't know if I was the only one.

[SOH11]

On their recent IG post, they deleted all the comments since it was basically people being mad over the shipping status and vouchers.

Salt & Straw with a swing and a miss for the most part

I will definitely be ordering Oregon Honey Rocky Road & Petunia's Peach Crumble Bars though!

Was just going to come and say the September flavors are up. Not much I am excited about but would like to try the Peach one. No to the others especially bone marrow.

I don't remember if I like Rocky Road, and I know I don't want any of the other flavors. Will probably skip this month

It's beyond absurd at this point. They would have been better off not trying to make that date.

Yeah, I don't know if I'm ordering yet. I've heard the Rocky Road is amazing, but 2 flavors doesn't justify an order. Bob is reaching out to Nik to see if we can order the LA Apples & Sidecar Doughnuts. If we can, game on.

[lazymuchacho]

Rocky Road is OK. Not great.

They fugged up by not bringing back Sauvie PB&J...a44holes...

Yeah idk why they chose to bring back bone marrow from last year instead of PB&J. Or even the white toast and apple butter one from last year.

[Partyrocking]

Rocky Road is OK. Not great.

Thanks for the feedback. Definitely skipping this month.

[lazymuchacho]

Glad to help folks. I'm going to buy but can totally understand passing.

Save your money for Candycopia.

Bob said Rocky Road is an easy 10/10. The chocolate cream cheese base has me very intrigued. I'm still waiting back to see if the SF doughnut flavor can be ordered. All in all, pretty disappointing month for Salt and Straw...unless you're a vegan hippie

[SOH11]

I wonder with AH new factory if they will expand their Amazon Prime line...pleaseeeeee

As always, I give my feedback...and others are free to decide how heavily to weigh it.

7/10 (my old review should be avail)

I wasn't saying your opinion didn't matter or was wrong, just letting people know that others loved the flavor. Bob did confirm that we couldn't get the SF doughnut flavor. I don't think I'll be ordering again this month. Disheartening.

You should try that 402 Creamery

[ugasar]

You should try that 402 Creamery

I see what you did there..

Hey I can admit.. That 402 Creamery is some crazy good ice cream! I will be posting shots of the ice cream of all six flavors on Tuesday.

Finally got around to reading the AH Bloomberg article.

Alarming info about my fellow Americans:

"...You want every scoop of Ooey Gooey to be the same,” says Smith, referring to his creamy vanilla ice cream made with hunks of homemade St. Louis-style butter cake. “Right now it’s impossible. People stand at the ice cream maker and stir it in—some people have a heavier hand,” he says. (Believe it or not, sometimes people complain about too much of a mix-in.)..."

Houston, we have a problem.

[Partyrocking]

Please tell me they're not about to start skimping on their mix-ins.

Not a good sign/10

I know several people who dislike Litttle G for that reason.
