This is a chain. We had one too but it just closed last year. Their Moose Tracks was pretty good.

LOVE Moose Tracks, LOVE Strohs. There are other brands of Moose Tracks that are good, but Strohs is always the best!

My favorite is a local shop - Brusters. We had a taste test between Brusters and Godiva's Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, and Brusters won, hands down.
If I've buying some for home, it's  . Supposedly, it's less fat & calories, but if I really have to have ice cream, I usually don't look at the labels! Vanilla, please, with lots of "stuff" to put on it!

This one wins the prize for the best name!

Mitchell's? I still have nightmares from when I used to work there!

I so rarely go out for ice cream anymore - it's been years since I went to an ice cream store (parlor? that seems so formal). It took this thread for me to realize how long it's been! I'm a horrible mom, and I realize this trend must stop now.
When I used to go out for ice cream, it was always to Baskin Robbins. My choice there was either Cookies and Cream or Pistachio. While on vacation once, I went to a Ben & Jerry's and had Phish Food. Good stuff.
There's a Mexican restaurant in town that has wonderful fried ice cream. I'm sure it's completely inauthentic, but it's delicious.
I buy Blue Bell brand ice cream from the grocery store - Ultimate Neapolitan is our family's favorite. There's some in the freezer right now actually, and I think I hear it calling my name.

It used to be Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and now it's Cake Batter. Apparently, I can live without cooked things (even in ice cream).
Ben & Jerry's has the chocolate ribbon going through it but at Coldstone, I can get cake batter with yellow cake, strawberries, and sprinkles!

So is cake batter ice cream done at other places? The first and only time I've heard of it is at Cold Stone.

Yes, it is. I think Cold Stone was the first to break it out, though.

Am I the only person who eats ice cream all year round?
When I moved here, it surprised me that the ice cream places (non-chains) would close for the winter.
I love eating ice cream even when it's cold outside.

^^We definitely do. I couldn't imagine winter holidays without all the ice-cream related desserts!

Going for a place in ice cream history, Cold Stone Creamery has introduced Cake Batter Ice Cream, which it believes will be the biggest new flavor to arrive on the frozen desserts scene since Ben & Jerry's introduced Cookie Dough ice cream back in 1991. "We are introducing an unprecedented ice cream flavor with an amazing new taste to ice cream lovers around the world," said Lisa Levi, Cold Stone Creamery media relations specialist. "It's a milestone for Cold Stone Creamery, but even more importantly it's a major milestone in the industry and is sure to make ice cream history."

@IL This was in 2003. Maybe they stole the recipe from a small business in your hometown?

@KSUViolet
Nope, but a couple of the non-chain places here do the same thing. Business just isn't high enough to justify the costs of running the store.
