Stop 7: Coley's American Bistro

Ordered: Pictures Here

Berry Crisp
5/5 Sugar Cubes
AWESOME, the 5 rating was a unanimous decision upon the first taste. We ordered a second crisp after we downed the first, despite almost bursting from the previous 6 locations! It was perfectly tart and the berries were a unique blend of flavors. The dessert also a nice mixture of temperatures: warm crisp and cold ice cream, even the berries retained the hot and cold. The sauce perfectly tied together the crisp, ice cream and berries with a nice orange zest.
“Life altering”
“The equivalent to Pepsi”

Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake
3/5 Sugar Cubes
An argument could be made that this is merely a brownie... but a really good one (for those who prefer cakey brownies)- it was warm and gooey. The ice cream however was not great and served too hard.

Stop 6: Forge and Vine

Apple Crisp
4.5/5 Sugar Cubes
It was fresh and warm, and the ice cream complimented it perfectly. The apple was tart without being sour. The amount of cinnamon was great.

Tiramisu
1/5 Sugar Cubes
It was dry and too strong. There was a weird aftertaste as well. We didn't want to finish what was on our plates.

Strawberry Shortcake
BRUSSEL SPROUTS
We'd tell people about this, but not in a good way. There was a bizarre aftertaste. Another dessert we did not want to finish. “I'd have to eat poop to get a brussel sprouts if this is not it.”

We also got some free chocolate strawberries that were totes yum.

Stop 3: Ernie's Cafe

Ordered: See picture here


Milkshakes
3.5/5 sugar cubes
Individual taste is a big factor for all these shakes. If you order what you like, you're going to like what you get.


Strawberry Chocolate Milkshake
Good consistency and balance between the flavors.


Malted Chocolate Milkshake
You can taste the malt and the consistency is excellent. If you like malt, than it's great.


Peanut Butter Chocolate Milkshake
The balance wasn't quite right and the peanut butter overpowered the chocolate. The peanut butter made it too thick. Tastes like liquid Reese's Cup.


Strawberry Banana Milkshake
Tastes light... but it's nooooot. Tastes like strawberries and bananas!
