    three ice cream cones on the wall
    Ashley D.

    Since I was in the Bates-Hendricks area was at one business then decided to do some walking in the neighborhood since it was a beautiful Fall Saturday Sept 30th day, and the last Saturday in Sept. Upon, walking in the ice cream shop you'll notice some slightly steep stairs entering the building, the ice cream shop is attached to house, I didn't see any accessible area for someone that would need it. The ice cream shop have been open in that area for 3yrs now, and when I walked in the ice cream shop the only person worked there at that time he didn't greet any of his customers coming in the door, any he definitely wasn't a people person. Nonetheless, I order same thing I alway order when I get ice cream which was one scoop of cookies & Cream, ice cream that's by Hershey's, and it wasn't bad. When I was there wasn't too many customers coming through, it's a small ice cream shop, yet it was clean.

    Service was quick. They serve about 24 flavors of Hershey's ice cream, and you may sample them. In addition to traditional ice cream in a cup/cone, you can also get shakes, sundaes, parfaits, etc. I love the location of this ice cream shop right on East St in Bates-Hendricks neighborhood. Street parking is all free. The interior is clean and new as this store just opened a few months ago. A few tables are inside as well as outside.

    South Bend Chocolate was honestly a great surprise. From the second you walk in, it smells amazing,…read morechocolate everywhere. They've got a ton of stuff from bars, sweets, pastries, and even popcorn. Easy to get distracted. Staff was really nice and helped me find what I was looking for. I ordered the hot chocolate... just one sip and wow, I already knew. This jumped straight to the number one spot for me. Best hot chocolate I've had in the States, no question. The flavor was deep and full. You get those darker, slightly nutty notes right away, then it settles into this smooth, creamy finish that just stays with you. Every sip hits the same, and it just keeps pulling you back in. The whipped cream on top melts right into it and adds a little extra sweetness without taking away from the chocolate. The whole drink felt like an experience. I even asked how they make it and found out they use actual chocolate bars... makes sense. 100% worth it. And definitely be coming back for more.

    My friend surprised me with a trip to the South Bend Chocolate Factory and I was literally like "a…read morekid in a candy store!" If you aren't smiling from ear to ear when you walk in this place then you need some major therapy because this is place is pure sunshine & joy even on a cold winter day! There are so many different types of chocolates, candies, desserts, coffees, hot chocolate, ice cream and little fancies for any kind of sweet tooth. I got the Cherry Jubilee Hot Chocolate which literally tasted like a warm chocolate covered cherry. It was so divine. Perfect for the cold weather. We got a little assortment of goodies which included candied blueberries, candied cherries, old fashioned toffee bars and dark chocolate covered citrus peels. The blueberries were the perfect pop of fruitiness. Who knew such a little thing could have so much flavor and put a huge smile on your face. The cherries were tart and sweet and so delectable. The chocolate covered citrus pill was the perfect flavor combination. I love orange and chocolate. It was such a treat to go there. The service was great. She was so patient with me because I could not make up my mind. There were so many wonderful things there. I saved every little morsel. Can't wait to go back.
