Sweet Caroline’s
3 out of 5 ice creams
Sweet Caroline’s is a candy and ice cream store that has been around since 2005. They offer 28 flavors of ice cream.
My Kansan roots ultimately led me to settle on tasting ‘Rock Chalk Jayhawk.’ This flavor has bits of chocolate fudge with brownie pieces mixed in and a fudge swirl.
The ice cream was incredibly dense, which is perfect for those who do not want the ice cream to melt all over the floor within a few minutes. When I got the pieces of chocolate, they provided a great crunch and burst of cocoa that helped give the ice cream some flavor.
Apart from the chocolate pieces, the ice cream was flat in flavor and was not very exciting. I was disappointed in the taste because it was bland and the overall flavor was that of just milk.
The service from the staff was helpful and it seemed as though I was treated like family. I would recommend Sweet Caroline’s for its fudge and candies, but suggest a different store for ice cream.
