It really is good flavor and what i really like is how almost everything they use is biodegradable. like their cups are actually made out of corn so they break down instead of plastic and they make the ice cream completely from scratch, like from the eggs and pumpkins there scratch, its incredible, really good ice cream, bombes and ice cream sandwiches. they change flavors fairly often to keep everything fresh so stop in sometime! i love it ok so ICI is now officially open and i love it, its been open since early september.

Their website is no help, with the statement “opening late August 2006″ still up on this, the 5th of September, but a quick phone call confirms that they opened their doors this past Sunday.

When we researched the item, the food editor tested the food, and the owner of the shop assured us it would be open by July. Unfortunately, it wasn't. Our apologies. --Peggy </blockquote> And an email from Jan Newberry herself: <blockquote> Oliva, So sorry to hear about your unrequited quest for ice-cream sandwiches at Ici. At press time the owners assured us that they would be open by the end of June. But then real life and construction plans intervened and as you so painfully discovered, the store has yet to open. I tasted the ice-cream sandwiches and they are wonderful. When Ici finally does open its door, I'm sure you'll agree that they are worth the wait. Best, Jan Newberry Food and Wine Editor </blockquote> Very fair, and all too familiar when construction is involved. That's all the more reason to make some mention in the future that a place is brand new and not just new to me. I'll also be more conscienscious about calling first.

Oliva,

So sorry to hear about your unrequited quest for ice-cream sandwiches at Ici. At press time the owners assured us that they would be open by the end of June. But then real life and construction plans intervened and as you so painfully discovered, the store has yet to open. I tasted the ice-cream sandwiches and they are wonderful. When Ici finally does open its door, I’m sure you’ll agree that they are worth the wait.

Best,
Jan Newberry
Food and Wine Editor

Very fair, and all too familiar when construction is involved. That’s all the more reason to make some mention in the future that a place is brand new and not just new to me. I’ll also be more conscienscious about calling first.

I thought I was losing my touch. I live in the area and didn't take the address with me, but I really didn't think I could be missing something so sumptuous continually. And I hadn't know it "existed" until reading the magazine. I felt shame. Now I am redeemed. So glad to read this. I thought I was losing my touch.
