New Flavor

Ice cream. Frozen treats. Creamy sugar goodness. Mix anything with it (within reason of course), and it will cure anything that ails you.

So, most people when going for a yummy treat, head to Baskin-Robbins, or a fast-food ice-cream cone. What I have to say to those, is MOVE ON! Onward and Upward I say.

First of my recommendations for those who would like to reach outside the box of normalcy, is a place called Spoon Me. 532 E 400 S. It's an environmental junkie type hang out, the cups being recycled and all that jazz. Atmosphere is light and almost bare. It was clean, though my particular server decided to indulge in some coconut and chocolate chip while we were deciding.

Your choice of base is from Natural, Acoi berry, or Green Tea soft serve. Add 3 toppings, your choice ranging from the regular banana, raspberry, blueberry, or be a bit more adventurous with Captain Crunch, Coco Pebbles, or pomegranate seeds. My only warning is to take your own spoon. Those offered have a rough feel on a tender tongue, changing the whole effect of creamy goodness.


Second on the list, but by far not any less than the first in priority would be Dolcetti Gelato. 1751 S 1100 E. Not quite like ice cream. Dense. Full of flavor in each bite. A small square, flat "spoon", if you can call such a tool by that name, is used. Though it requires you to take incredibly smaller bites in comparison, the experience is much more fulfilling.
Flavors offered are much more basic than those founds in places like 31. Pick your adventure with flavors like Pistachio, or Pink Lemonade. Chocolate Hazelnut (reminiscent of Nutella), Almond Joy, Chocolate Chip, Banana or Ginger. Of course they have Strawberry! They offer some non-cream based flavors as well.

Next date, or hang-out, or time to indulge, pick a new place. Salt Lake City has wonderful dining and places to play, if you know where to look. Just drive around. You'll be surprised at the experiences waiting if you venture a little from fast-food and chain restaurants. There is life beyond normal ice-cream, and what a wonderful one it truly is.
