    Zanzibar chocolate shake
    Rhett B.

    Ever since I moved to Valparaiso, I have discovered there are 2 homemade ice cream parlors that might have a rivalry between them. I even ask people when I meet them to break the ice, "Pat's or Valpo"? I like Valpo but I'm all in on Team Pat. There is a sign outside that says this is the best ice cream made in Wisconsin because it is made with rich Wisconsin Cream. The first time I had her ice cream, I thought it was among the best ice cream I've ever had. I went with the Zoreo, which was the Zanzibar chocolate mixed in with Oreos. That's like the perfect ice cream for me! Today, I had to try the Zanzibar chocolate shake! It's like a rich, dark chocolate. It was pretty exquisite at $5.50. Pat took my order and she was very friendly and interested in me. She asked me my name and we connected a little bit over my career and her son's career. I told her I would be seeing her again and often.

    Ordered 4 scoops of ice cream. We tried the "Exhausted parent", mint chocolate, banana cream pie, and the Oreo. Ice cream was good and they had a good amount of options as well. Also had lots of topping options and cone options. Only gets a 3 star because the portion size is very small for the price point. Cost just under 17 dollars for 4 small scoops of ice cream. Staff is friendly. Place is clean, and has a lot of seating.

    Two scoop sundae in a chocolate waffle bowl. Shown in the background is behind the counter area and the ice cream case up front.

    They have pretty good ice cream here. Friendly and prompt service. I love their chocolate waffle bowls. The prices are kinda misleading, and they charged me $2 for a little squirt of marshmallow and hot fudge, so my two scoop sundae in a waffle bowl ended up being over $9!

    Difficult to just pick one flavor

    Try the black licorice ice cream! It's a local favorite. I had the pecan and my partner had a double scoop bowl.

The nice gentleman at the counter (sorry, I didn't catch his name) even offered samples when I said I was having trouble making up my mind. Everyone I dealt with was very nice and very helpful. This was my first visit, and I was a little overwhelmed. Now I'm determined to make a stop at Albanese any time I have reason to be in Indiana. And maybe once in a while make a special trip.

It seriously took me about 10 to decide on a dessert. In the end, I got a slice of strawberry cheesecake. I took it to go, knowing that I would eat it in my car. (The best place to eat any food.) I chose cheesecake, because in the end, cheesecake is the illest of the desserts. You can't go wrong with a silky smooth slice o' cake o' cheese. And I wasn't wrong! The cheesecake at Bao's is creamy, yet a little pleasantly gelatinous from the strawberry topping. It was so rich that I couldn't eat it all in my car, so I took it to go to enjoy back at my hotel. Some of the other things I was considering getting at Bao's included the mini tarts, tiramisu cup, raspberry opera cake, turnovers, passionfruit cake and many others. They also have lots of macarons, but I'm not a macaron lady! Try as I might, I do not like macarons, but if you like macarons, then Bao's is the place to find macarons. Mostly, this is a to-go joint, but there are a couple of tables on the outdoor patio, and a table or two inside. When I visited, I only saw people pop in and get their goodies and pop back out.

The service was cordial although the store is very small. They have a wide variety of baked goods and I might visit in the future. We ended up with a couple of raspberry beignets and a 12 count variety box of macarons @ 12 for $25. My favorite was the pistachio.
