Brownie was amazing and not overly rich like I was expecting by the look of it. Was a great snack on the beach. The cookie was massive and took me a few days to finish it. It had lots of flavors. It's more hard than soft which is expected for a bar style. I wasn't a big fan of the cake parfait cause of the butter cream. The icing was too sweet. It would have been better with the cream cheese frosting. The cake was moist and delicious. The candy bits were too sweet for my liking so I just tossed the icing and candy and ate the rest.

We finally gave in and tried the local ice cream landmark shaped like a giant ice cream cone…read more Apparently everyone else in town had the same idea. At 8:30 PM there was still a line. Not a "something must be wrong" line. A "we willingly stand here because ice cream is involved" line. My son ordered what can only be described as an engineering marvel: chocolate ice cream in a waffle cone dipped in chocolate and then rolled in either Butterfinger, Heath, or some other delicious candy-coated masterpiece. I honestly lost track somewhere between "dipped" and "rolled." It looked less like an ice cream cone and more like a dare. My daughter got a twist cone rolled in Heath pieces and was equally thrilled. Both kids loved their treats, which is a pretty solid endorsement considering teenagers treat compliments like they're being charged by the word. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, there were plenty of benches to sit and enjoy your sugar-induced happiness, and they even have a rewards program. Because apparently they know we'll be back. We're locals, not tourists, and this place is ALWAYS busy. After our first visit, I finally understand why. If you see me standing in that line again, mind your business.

With impending weather, I had hoped to get a small cone. Despite sprinkling rain, the staff chose to prioritize the cars in the drive through, completing multiple car orders. These cars had arrived well after I did. It started pouring rain, yet instead of taking my order (I was the only one left) and finishing orders for the five people standing outside, the staff continued to choose to prioritize the cars in the drive through. I left without ice cream, thoroughly soaked. Surely, the five people outside continued waiting in the pouring rain for another 5min. I've been here once before and they were quick to accommodate a large group and fulfill orders. Their soft serve is decent, the draw being the close proximity to Jetty Beach.

Whit's Frozen Custard of Melbourne-4270 Minton Rd #107, West Melbourne, FL 32904…read more 4.5 Stars Whit's Frozen custard opened on March 3, 2003, in Granville, Ohio. It is a national chain, with locations spanning 9 states across the US. Florida alone touts 19 individual locations, with four additional coming soon. As a beachside Brevard County native, I have listened to my fair share of whiney New Yorker's who complain, "dere ain't no custard stands in dis stinkin' place." And I've always thought to myself, "How could anyone possibly eat pudding set upon a cone?" Well journey forward 50 years, and you'll be surprised to discover a tiny joint that does sell "custard." Delve into the details a bit further however, and you will unearth that the key ingredient to the custard concoction is eggs, commingling and infused with ice cream. The resulting dessert has a full texture that is thick, creamy and most delicious. You will have a plethora of choices, with very nearly 200 flavors, at hand for the asking. Additionally, these tasty blends are sold in either pint or quart size. Upon entering the establishment, I found the bright-eyed, spunky, teenage, bel espirit, Emily waiting counter side. I ordered a Buck-eye Madness. For visual reference only: think Dairy Queen blizzard. This was filled to the brim with peanut butter and nicely doused in chocolate syrup. It was oh so good. I should add here that I purchased a quart of buckeye to take home; it lasted 24 hours. Big Boy Says, "This is a fun treat and I think a first in Brevard. Give 'em a try."
