$11 milkshake
Zuri C.

I thought an $11 milkshake would taste better than a $4 milkshake but it didn't. It was good but not worth $11. It was $10 plus $1 for whipped cream. I probably won't be back.

Good milkshake and the employee was very nice. Just a little expensive in my opinion. Just not sure it's worth the price.

I have wanted to try this place since I first saw it. I love the neon pink sign. The Pizitz always needs more places for dessert in my opinion so I thought this place would be perfect to come to after getting lunch or dinner here. I came here after visiting I love Tina + Gina's Sandwich Shop for lunch. I got a cotton candy milkshake. The associate was very nice and allowed me to sample a few flavors before I decided what I wanted. I ended up getting the Cotton Candy Milkshake. It was a little pricey at $9 for a milkshake, but usually food at the Pizitz is more expensive so I expected that. The milkshake was good. A little too sweet towards the end though. I would have liked to have given this place more stars, but I unfortunately got sick a few hours after drinking it so I don't know if I would try this place again.

Delicious ice cream, clean set up, friendly employees. Price tag...Whew! lol I really just had a craving for some cotton candy ice cream and they offered it. But the price for one small scoop was a little much. Located in a great spot in a busy food court. They offer creamy, original, and fresh ice cream as well as cones. I purchased their cotton candy ice cream (one scoop) in a bowl. Also they offer cotton candy.

Very high quality ice-cream with some awesome flavors. The mix-ins are also abundant here! I thoroughly enjoyed this milkshake, especially because it was a whole 18oz.. you don't find that often. They also offer 18oz floats, hand spun cotton candy, and of course ice cream in a cup or cone. The customer service was great as well. The guy taking my order was patient, and let me try a few flavors before making my decision. Definitely the PERFECT way to end a food run through the Pizitz food hall.

Ive never had your ice cream. However, my friend had it today. Thus, I asked what his favorite flavor was; I've posted his response below: Tbh, I would have to order the exact same thing becuase the balance between the two was impeccable. One bite cookie dough. One bit caramel mocha. Another bite 1/2 and 1/2. A fourth bite with Oreo crumbles. My god! The Oreo crumble really tied the whole thing together. Worked perfectly with both flavors. I've posted our conversation for further proof. Long story short, it sounds like you guys have great ice cream

Upon entering the store area, I was greeted right away and offered to try a flavor. The customer service was excellent. The ice cream was $6 for a scoop, which seemed steep but came with a waffle. My only issue was that the server was using gloves but using the same gloves on the register and then handling food with the same gloves, i.e waffle cones, biscuits, etc. That is the only reason I took off a point.

This place is full of roaches and other insects. I've also seen mold around the premises. Just disgusting.

Even in a busy food hall Courtney at the front explained all of my options and helped me pick the cotton candy I wanted.

My sis raved about this food truck so of course , I was fired up to try them. I ordered the…read morecrawfish nachos. The portion size was huge for the price. The nachos were just okay to me , nothing special. I was expecting a tastebud explosion but it never happened. Personally, there was way too much cheese and not enough crawfish. The cheese / crawfish ratio was extremely off. I couldn't eat them all. I also had a small strawberry lemonade/ pineapple sno cone. The sno cone was extremely refreshing and the perfect size. I would definitely order again. My sister had the shrimp nachos and she said they were just okay . Nothing special but she really loved the crawfish nachos she previously had at another event. The service was relatively fast considering we were at pepper place market on a Saturday morning.

The menu has classic New Orleans dishes such as jambalaya, red beans and rice, gumbo, and étouffée. The menu also offers unexpected variety with the option for shrimp nachos. I tried the powdered beignets, crawfish étouffée, and strawberry snoball. My food was ready quickly, which I appreciated! The snoball was very refreshing. The beignets reminded me of Cafe du Monde. So they are a definite must-try !!!! The crawfish étouffée was delicious but could have been a little more spicy. If you see this this food truck definitely get in line and try something. Next time I will definitely be getting a bowl of seafood gumbo. #BirminghamEats #Farmersmarket #SaturdayMarket

Unique flavors, classic flavors, the smell of fresh waffle cones inside. Big Spoon does a ton of business, as they should. The location here in Avondale is great, but not super walkable from any really good restaurants. I would love to see them open another spot on 2nd Ave. I had the strawberry tres leches in a waffle cone and it was delicious. I appreciate the care and craft that went into making sure every bit down to the bottom of the cone had ice cream in it. 10/10.

The Sweet and the Absurd: A Birmingham Creamery's Baffling Economics…read moreTo step into Big Spoon Creamery in Birmingham is to subject oneself to a masterclass in both artisanal delight and bureaucratic absurdity. On my visits--a pilgrimage undertaken reliably every month and a half--the front-line staff have never been anything short of exemplary. They are the cheerful stewards of a deeply baffling system, executing their duties with a warmth that almost distracts you from the institutional quirks around them. I say "institutional" because the management themselves are entirely phantom. They are never seen on the floor. Perhaps this is a calculated evasion; if they were ever present, they would surely have to field a relentless, exasperated inquisition regarding the tragic and ongoing absence of their finest creation: the "Magic City." Why an ice cream parlor would willingly suppress its undisputed masterpiece remains an enduring mystery. Even if the economics of its ingredients demanded a premium surcharge, "Magic City" ought to be enshrined as an immovable staple on the menu. Instead, the menu is a restless, ever-shifting carousel. I concede that a relentless churn of novelty is a virtue to a certain type of customer, but the soul of a great neighborhood institution relies on the comforting reliability of a few anchor flavors. At Big Spoon, just as you develop an affection for a flavor, it vanishes into the ether. Then, we must examine the rewards program, an endeavor so poorly conceived it borders on the avant-garde. The mathematics are punishingly flat: one point per order, regardless of whether the patron spends a single dollar or one hundred. The rational response to such a broken incentive structure is, naturally, to weaponize the system. To extract any genuine value, the savvy customer is forced into a theatrical display of micro-transactions, paying for each scoop separately. It is a loophole that needlessly punishes the very staff who make the establishment shine, forcing them to run the register three or four times for a single family's dessert. Finally, there is the creamery's bizarre pricing taxonomy. A close study of the board reveals an accidental arbitrage opportunity: the customer is objectively better off purchasing two distinct pints of ice cream and two empty waffle cones to assemble on their own time, rather than engaging in the straightforward, intended transaction of ordering ice cream scooped directly into a cone. Whoever is pulling the levers behind the curtain at Big Spoon clearly fancies themselves a clever operator, disrupting the traditional ice cream parlor model with dynamic menus and gamified loyalty. But in their pursuit of perpetual novelty and labyrinthine economics, they have embodied the old proverb perfectly: they are entirely too clever by half.
