Cold Stone Creamery: A ten minute visit to heaven

We were out to shop at Cub foods in our now favorite Silver Lake Village when we saw the neon sign of”Cold Stone Creamery”. We hadn’t entered a pastry or ice cream parlor since the time we came from India as we bought it straight out of the shelf and had it at home. So with all the enthusiasm of a kid going to an ice cream shop, we entered this place.
Cold Stone’s variety is stunning and they specialize in ice cream creation- that is, you get to choose from their numerous delightful mix-ins of nuts, candies, fruits and biscuits. Add to that, caramel or chocolate sauce or what ever topping that comes to your mind and the various kinds of ice cream cones. The ice cream maker scoops out the ice cream that you would like to have, flattens it out and adds all the mix-ins you ever want and mixes it thoroughly and rolls it back in a nice scoop and presents it to you. Yum!
No wonder, there was such a big queue in front of us.
After treating ourselves to a “Germanchocolatecake” made with chocolate ice cream, pecans, coconut shredding, a hot Brownie and rich Caramel, we were back on earth to continue our mundane shopping.
