Review »

Once you try Mitchell’s, the names Cold Stone and Baskin will become secondary to your taste buds. Created by brothers Larry and Jack Mitchell in 1963, the award-winning parlor is a local favorite. Quality classic flavors are just the tip of the ice cream cone when it comes to Mitchell’s homemade dessert arsenal; with tastes like Thai tea, you know this place has upped the ante. Well-known exotic Filipino varieties such as langka (jackfruit) and ube (purple yam) give this local ice cream parlor an even more innovative edge, while an equally exotic variety of sorbets are provided for the lactose intolerant. You may not find the crazy mix-ins that competitors offer, but Mitchell’s does give cookie sandwich and the occasional “Krispy Kreme a la mode” options. You might have to grab a number and wait, but it is definitely worth it.

Best Ice Cream. Ever.

"There’s nothing I hate more than waiting in line, especially at restaurants. It feels like a total waste of time and when my food finally does arrive, I’m so hangry (hungry meets angry) that it’s just not a pleasant experience for my dining companions. But somehow, Mitchell’s always makes me feel like it was worth the wait. The ice cream here is divine, so it figures that the scoops, shakes, malts, cakes and whatever else they see fit to make with ice cream is the most creamy, delicious treat you’ll ever encounter. I’m not much of a sweet tooth, but I’ll happily take a number and fight the throngs to get my chocolate milkshake."
