    Chocolate & vanilla
    Fateha A.

    1st time trying this store & the cones are huge. I had a really hard time finishing. I was full halfway. I got chocolate 2 the extreme which was really good. It comes with m&ms & chocolate sprinkles. I got it in a rainbow sprinkle cone. The red velvets cake was too sweet for my liking. The cheesecake didn't taste like cheesecake at all. It melts really fast. It started melting as soon as we got it & was dripping all over the place.

    This spot is easy to miss if you're not paying attention. It's connected to the cookie place. The ladies working were nice but they didn't mix my ice cream and mix ins. The gave it one "mix" and that was it so the items I chose were not evenly distributed so that's a bummer. It tasted good though. Service was a little slow. Maybe it was an off day.

    I felt invisible. What a horrible service. Took forever to take out order, the guy taking orders skipped us and then acted like nothing happen. My partner found a hair in his shake and the had to remake. The individuals with long hair were not wearing hair nets.

    The service of the young guy behind the counter was horrible and did not represent the Marble Slab Creamery. I understand each store is a franchise but this particular owner needs to invest more in training of his staff. The service was so bad I refused to spend money here and found the next ice cream shop in Addison

    Amaretto Ice Cream with Cherries, Fudge, Whipped Cream

    Oddly, I've never been to a 'Marble Slab Creamery' before, which is surprising since 'Marble Slab' is such a large chain, and I am so addicted to ice cream (I must have at least 2 scoops every day). I appreciate that the chain has a small sense of humor: The slabs they use are made of granite, not marble as the name might suggest. Regardless, it seemed eerily similar to another chain: 'Cold Stone Creamery'. Just... less good. Dirty interior, low staffed, not many flavors/mix-ins, very melty, expensive. Melty is expected for mix-in places, but this seemed a tad excessive, or perhaps I just haven't been to a mix-in place in awhile. ______________ Conclusion: 'Tis still ice cream. It is suitable for meeting my daily ice cream quota. However, there are much better options for quality ice cream nowadays, and I feel like if I'm going to indulge, I should truly enjoy it (even if it is every day).

    Do not order a cake from here if you want it to look anything like the cake on the Marble Slab website...owner called me when I told them I was disappointed in the cake...she just kept saying "it is all your fault". Would not let me tell her any of the issues I had (many things were missing and I ordered a brownie layer and she said they use Chocolate Cake and I was being too picky) She sent me a picture of the cake that they took before we picked it up and I honestly thought it was the same picture I sent them...she thought it looked just like the cakes on the Marble Slab website...I would not recommend this place for an ice cream cake unless you don't care what it looks like or want it to be what you ordered

    Dirty counters
    Meredith R.

    Cleanliness is not their strong suit. Items behind the counter look improperly stored, counters were filthy. Prices are unjustifiably high. Girl behind counter didn't seem to know what she was doing. Weird place.

    I was going to go with the Sweet Cream ice cream, but judging by my friend's reaction to the Birthday Cake, I quickly said never mind.

    Came across this ice cream shop while in the area and had to give it a try on a nice sunny day…read more They offer a wide variety of flavors, including dairy-free and gluten-free options, which is a huge plus. They even have a special collaboration ice cream for the Bridgerton series. I sampled the Queen Charlotte sponge cake, which was incredibly delicious. I decided to go with the seasonal tropical bloom, which was refreshing and incredibly tasty. And of course, I couldn't resist their popular gooey butter cake! Yum! While their prices are slightly higher than regular ice cream shops, I found them to be well worth it. Plus, if you fall in love with one of their flavors, you can take some pints to enjoy later at home. The ladies at the store were super friendly, and they told us we could try as many flavors as we wanted. The overall place is super cute, simple, and well put together. Can't wait to come back.

    What a unique and enjoyable ice cream experience! I must admit I am not an adventure ice cream…read moreflavor person. I prefer classics like Rocky road or vanilla with fruit or fudge on top. But every now and I then I want to be a cool kid and experience the new trendy ice cream. Jeni's is most definitely cool kid ice cream! The most enjoyable aspect is that they allow and welcome you to try the unique flavors. Also, the scoops are smaller so you can enjoy more variety. There is complementary water and plenty of seating. The line was long but moved very swiftly. I highly recommend Jeni's.

    I had nitro ice cream in Miami once and it changed my life. I've been dreaming about that Nutella…read moreflavor ever since--so naturally, I asked my husband to take me here for my birthday. Holy mother of Moses... I could eat that Nutella nitro ice cream every single day. No regrets. The place wasn't too busy, but we did have to wait a bit--some bigger groups were ahead of us, waiting on their frozen delight. While we waited, we started chatting with one of the groups and found out we shared a birthday! After we got our glorious ice cream, we sat outside and that same group came out and asked me to take a photo of them. Then their mom took a photo of me and her son--because, you know, birthday twins! It was such a sweet moment. I love connecting with strangers, and we were laughing so hard it made the whole experience even better. The staff seemed a little overwhelmed--nice, but short on words and not super chatty. Still, they got the job done and handed me my Nutella masterpiece, so I'm not mad. I love love my ice cream made this way. It's my absolute favorite. It doesn't melt as fast as regular ice cream, and watching them make it is half the fun. I actually passed this place the other day and thought... maybe it's a sign I should go back? So yes--you must try it. Yes--I'll be back. And no--I'm not interested in any other flavor than Nutella. Hahahaha I said what I said.

    Located off a main road in Addison, there is a small parking lot to park in, but pretty crowded…read morewith all of the other businesses and restaurants in this same area. I went on a Monday afternoon and there were only 3 open spots. The staff is incredibly friendly, and very happy to give advice, offer up choices, their favorites, etc. The architecture and layout was interesting, tall ceilings, open, airy, inviting. You can go through the drive thru, or you can walk up to one of the order windows. The menus offer up all that there is to choose from, there are also several large banner / posters of some of their frozen concoctions. I went with the James Brownie Jackhammer. Loaded with Hot Fudge, Peanut butter and more. Yummy but a little pricey. Not enough hot fudge in my opinion. Just a large dollop in the middle and it dripped over the edge and I lost most of it on the floor. Definitely give it a try if you are in the area. Enjoy my photos.

    You know it's good when you finish your cup of ice cream in less than 5 minutes and contemplate…read moregoing through the drive through to get seconds. They have seasonal flavors, and in the fall, that means pumpkin pie ice cream. On their menu, it says that there is a piece of pie in every cup. I believe it. It was creamy, with bits of crunchy graham pie crust. It was delicious! The drive through always seems to have a line of cars, but it goes pretty fast. I recommend looking the menu up online or taking a picture of the first menu placard when entering the drive through. This way you can study the menu without holding up the line. They don't have a two way speaker for taking your order. You'll pull up to the window and talk to a cheerful young person eager to help fulfill your frozen dessert dreams. You can park and go inside to order. It looks like they have limited seating inside and out. If you choose this route, you will have to play frogger to dodge the traffic in the drive thru. The place smells like Willie Wonka wonderland, so it may be worth it to thoroughly enjoy the olfactory part of the show and walk away still smelling like heaven.
