Sadly, chocolate bothers my stomach.(doctors and online have no clue what I'm talking about) So I have to get my ice cream joy without the benefit of chocolate. I also like the Ice Cream Mann, but the last two times, I got similar stomach issues. I thought it might have been the use of the Battenkill milk, but their ice cream doesn't bother me. Makes no sense! I will suggest you take an extended trip to the Battenkill Creamery for some good ice cream! Mac's in Vliet is much better than I would have thought.

I don't know this for sure, but I suspect they use less sugar and more fat, which makes it ever so creamy, but less sweet. Our American palates aren't used to the less sweet. It's almost more like custard, which is a delicacy in the Rochester area. But, those are my two cents...<br /><br />Plus, the surroundings are beautiful, the grounds are family friendly and well maintained. When we go, which admittedly isn't often because it's a treat in the wallet and the waistline, I think of it as paying for both dessert and an activity for the kids. Well worth the price of admission.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950243812534178984.post-54317447166624335562012-06-16T10:19:44.793-04:002012-06-16T10:19:44.793-04:00Yes.

Don't know if that is what gourmet is but I do not want hard pieces of ice in my dinky, overpriced ice cream.<br /><br />Just seems to be a hip-yuppie type place whose image is what sells the ice cream.<br /><br />Fail.Dan Palmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950243812534178984.post-37708341660076338082012-05-30T22:50:48.387-04:002012-05-30T22:50:48.387-04:00I'm so glad I'm not the only one who think...I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks Moxie's doesn't live up to the hype. Don't get me wrong, the owners are dear-hearted, lovely people, but my goodness, the price! And the ice cream has such subdued, faint flavor. =(Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068280616412794843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950243812534178984.post-31974216276781586372012-05-29T18:36:32.714-04:002012-05-29T18:36:32.714-04:00You just have to go for the orange vanilla twist a...You just have to go for the orange vanilla twist at snowman!Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13400080738374316669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950243812534178984.post-16707311420676901802012-05-29T18:15:18.813-04:002012-05-29T18:15:18.813-04:00Sugar cone -- there probably is an upcharge for a ...Sugar cone -- there probably is an upcharge for a waffle cone, which at least would be reasonable, seeing as they're bigger and often made in-house.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15932107250698688845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950243812534178984.post-34962020831319668822012-05-29T17:37:50.277-04:002012-05-29T17:37:50.277-04:00That's great news about the lack of up charge ...That's great news about the lack of up charge for a waffle cone which is definitely my preference.

But putting it back-to-back against other ice cream shops across a variety of flavors really revealed a significant weakness.<br /><br />All the same, considering the strength of the Butter Pecan, the geographic proximity, and the value, I'll keep on going back to the Snowman. And I can also definitively say that The Ice Cream Man lives up to the hype (at least when compared to local ice cream joints).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
