Wow. Look at those prices!
I know their stuff is really good, but $4.75 for two scoops? $5.50 for a milkshake?? I guess it’s at least better than Ben and Jerry’s.
This makes me miss Pete’s ice cream more and more every year. Their ice cream was so good and the prices didn’t make you feel violated.
I was there yesterday and the blood orange fat-free sorbet was terrific. The vanilla ice cream was not that good, too eggy and kind of gluey texture. Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory vanilla is better.
