I've driven past Rosy's Ice Cream more times than I can count, but this hot afternoon finally gave…read moreme the perfect excuse to stop. They offer 32 flavors, but I didn't waste any time locking in on the most chocolate-packed option they had. The owner (who was incredibly friendly) confirmed I made the right choice and took a moment to share a bit about the business and their commitment to quality. That kind of personal touch goes a long way. I went with a single scoop of chocolate on a sugar cone, and it delivered. The ice cream was rich, creamy, and loaded with chunks of chocolate. Definitely a flavor I'd come back for. Now if you're indecisive (or just want to have some fun with it), they offer a four-scoop "flight" where you can mix and match flavors. Perfect for sharing or sampling the goods. . The shop itself is bright, clean, and welcoming, with that sweet, ice cream shop smell. There's also shaded outdoor seating with a couple of bistro tables, which makes it a great spot to hang out. Conveniently located right off US-41 in a strip mall with plenty of free parking, it's easy to swing in and out. Definitely worth the stop.

The staff was friendly, welcoming and ready to answer any questions I had. They were also ready with samples, which I typically don't do, I just go for it; but, there were so many flavors I was debating between, I had to get my sample on. I got a flight of four 3oz scoops for $10... Yes, there were more than 4 flavors I wanted to try haha. My flight included butterscotch bomb, mac daddy coconut, raspberry truffle and purple daze. All of the flavors were great. Creamy and flavorful! My favorite was the butterscotch bomb. It had the creaminess from the butterscotch ice cream itself, crunch from heath bars and gooeyness from the butterscotch swirl all packed into one scoop! It also had brownies, cookies and peanut butter cups in it. It was truly unlike any other flavor I've had. I know it sounds like a lot of things to have in one ice cream, but it's not... It was well-balanced and delightful! Do yourself a favor, go to Rosy's, expand your ice cream horizons and grab a flight! The carry The Ice Cream Club brand ice cream.

I was happy to see they offered a flight so there were less tough decisions that had to be made; I was not so happy about the price, which if I recall correctly was $12. But, hey, I was on vacation so I went for it any way. I chose the lemon blackberry bar, exhausted parent (bourbon spiked espresso with chocolate chunks), fat elvis (banana with peanut butter ripple and chocolate chips) and heaps of love (vanilla filled with oreos, brownies, cookie dough, pecans, caramel and chocolate ripple). I very much enjoyed them all with heaps of love being my favorite. I liked that they use wooden spoons rather than plastic.
