![]() By: Jessica Flores When looking at a little kids happy place we see that they are happy in three places, Toy store, Candy store, and Ice Cream shops. As I am growing older I still love ice cream and candy but your taste buds change. As a kid all you look for is the sweetest thing on the menu but now I look for the creamiest, most flavored ice cream I can find. With those expectation, I wanted to find the best place. When looking at local ice cream shops many don’t consider them as an option. Upon the opening of SweetFix it was very intriguing and seemed like a quality Ice Cream shop so I had to try it for myself. This shop is located in the target plaza on McKee Road and they open their doors relatively late being 12 pm and close at 10pm monday-thursday and closing at 11 Friday through sunday. When looking at the overall quality of their ice cream it is by far better than Rite Aids ice cream and might also be better than Baskin Robbins. Although many say that six dollars for two scoops of ice cream is pricey, I believe that it is worth it especially with the quality of their ice cream. They are known for making their own ice cream and flavors. For example, they have one of my all time favorite flavors, butterscotch cookies and cookie butter which you don't really see anywhere else. Their ice cream no matter what flavor it is will be delicious. It is sweet but not too much while still being milky and smooth. Even if you don’t like ice cream much and prefer some shaved ice perhaps, they make fresh Italian shaved ice of many flavors and every one of them is delicious. Their flavors varrie from blueberry, mango, strawberry, etc. Not only are the flavors delicious but the coloring on the actual Italian shaved ice is also so vibrant and beautiful. When looking at another very popular place for ice cream, we see rolled ice cream. This dessert originally started in Thailand under the name of I-Tim-Pad. This has become so famous that they recently added a place near Hostetter Road. They open at 2pm and close at 10pm Monday-Thursday and open 12pm to 11pm Friday through Sunday. I have seen them open half an hour early just to help the guests that were already waiting for them to open. Now with their popularity I wanted to see what this please was all about so I went for myself. Upon arrival the first thing you see is their menu which starts at 7 dollars with unlimited toppings on your ice cream. With that their menu varies from the classic oreo rolled ice cream to one of the wildest flavors I saw on their menu which was Hot Cheeto ice cream. In Willow Glen there is a place called Icicles, which is relatively similar to this place called Frozen Ninja. They both have similar ice cream options and toppings on their menu. For example they have a strawberry flavor which includes strawberries, milk and condensed milk the only difference is that they have different names. To embrace the difference in their type of ice cream I tried what they call the Avocado Smash. I myself usually don’t like avocado in any way shape or form but this changed that. This ice cream was sweet but still had the flavor and freshly cut avocado. Now when looking at how store packaged ice cream compares to regular ice cream shops there is usually nothing to compare but one ice cream brand always catches my eye. Häagen-Dazs is a very well known ice cream brand that sell in many grocery stores while in the U.S they have a few ice cream shops. They have one location here in the San Jose area it is located in the Valley Fair mall their business hours are from 10am-9:30 pm. Their vanilla ice cream is so creamy and delicious that it leaves you wanting more. Another one of my favorites is Dulce de Leche which is a caramel ice cream and it just melts in your mouth and leaves that perfect amount of sweetness.. Compared to the other ice cream shops this company takes a more traditional approach on ice cream compared to Sweet Fix. Depending on your own preferences you can choose from these different places. If you would like a place that has creamy different ice cream Sweet Fix is the perfect place for you but if you want a different style ice cream with crazy flavors I would go for Frozen Ninja or Icicles. If you want a classic but still delicious Ice cream, Häagen-Dazs is the place for you. There you have it the best places to eat different styles of ice cream. Comments are closed.
