2 NEW ICE CREAM SHOPS (NOT QUITE 'PARLORS')

Tweet

Within the past month 2 new ice cream stores (not quite 'parlors') have opened fairly close to each other and both are offering different, some 'weird' flavors along with high prices. Whether that has to do with inflation or not remains to be seen but how many people can afford $5-6 for a single scoop of ice cream? I tried to do some research on both but didn't find out too much except Razzleberries has been in Pompano since 1991 and now seem to have 2 more stores in Fort Lauderdale. Churn and Scoop (658 N. Federal) is in the Winn-Dixie shopping plaza next door to a new Italian restaurant Flagler's which is how we found out about it going for lunch at the latter one afternoon (with a 2-4-1 coupon on the back of our WD shopping receipt!) Plenty of free parking but watch out for people trying to back in to park! Razzleberries (901 NE 20th Avenue) is around the corner from Big Louie's off of Sunrise Blvd. and 5 blocks from my home and and a few doors down from my cleaners which I pass 2-3 times a week--they are certainly tempting me! On street parking has meters but they have 4 free spots on the south end of the building plus there is free parking in the Gateway Shopping Center. Both offer samples of their ice creams---all home made--and both are very clean with friendly employees. The main differences are the flavors they offer but I am just an old-fashioned vanilla, chocolate, vanilla with chocolate mint or if I feel really wild I'll get rocky road. If you are adventurous either place will put you in ice cream heaven as flavors include some you could never imagine . Are you ready for peanut butter fudge with bacon ice cream?????
