Prices are about what you'd expect at a movie theater, so not cheap, but not shocking either. I ended up getting the jalapeño cheddar for the ride home. When I sampled it in the store, it was great--bold and cheesy with just the right kick. But by the time I ate more later, the texture had changed. It almost tasted wet or soggy, which threw me off a bit. Maybe it's best enjoyed fresh the day of? I'd be willing to go back and try a different flavor, but next time I'll probably eat it sooner rather than later.

The line moves very quickly, so don't worry when you see it. After about a 10-minute wait, we were so excited to see all of the flavors and the old school interior decor. We ended up getting their seasonal special Banana Blondie on a sugar cone, and it was so good! This was truly some of the best ice cream I had ever had, and it really hit the spot. You can tell the ice cream is made fresh, and you can even see them making the waffle cones as you are waiting on line. Plus, the staff here were all so kind and sweet. Definitely come visit The Pearl if you are in the area! It is definitely worth your while.

We stopped in after a long day of exploring to end on a sweet note. The line was long, which gave…read moreus plenty of time to decide (sort of... I immediately regretted not ordering a sundae - why do i do this to myself) We were on our way in & someone was heading out the door we were coming in. The hubs held the door open for the people exiting & one of the gals working yelled "shut that door". He stated he was just waiting for the couple to exit & she didn't respond - perhaps it's habitually open with people in line & she was fed up. Regardless, it wasn't the best way to start an experience, tho not bad enough to abandon ship. I ordered 2 scoops in a waffle cone. Then saw the sundae - sigh... alas, one scoop would have been MORE than enough. I think they scoop with a bucket. It was creamy & metly & delish - but I couldn't finish it. So, the hubs ended up with 3 scoops and 2 cones. I had 1 scoop & 6 mosquito bites... close the door made so much more sense about now! Absolutely loved the old-time-parlor feel, btw.

The road…read moreconstruction did not stop me from turning around and going back to 2109 Ward Avenue to satisfy my curiosity. Having never heard of Pleasoning Gourmet Seasoning, I was determined to see what it was all about. Having made the right decision, I am now hooked on Pleasoning Gourmet Seasoning. Just this morning, I had the All-Purpose seasoning on scrambled eggs. Yummy! Walking into the store, I was pleasantly overcome with a blend of fresh herbs and spices, thus, proving that this is the place where it all happens. This is exactly what I was hoping for. Not sure whether it was Kathy or Jaime who waited on us, I was surprised to learn that there are only three employees, and they are second and third generations of the founder. Our hostess took plenty of time to share the story of Pleasoning Gourmet Seasoning, which made the visit fun and informative. We use Steak and Game on every steak or burger we grill, not only because it is tasty, but because we don't need to add any salt. If I can not make it back to the store, I will order online or pick up what I need at a local store. I just ordered a gift pack for my daughter's birthday, and I am excited for her to get it.

She taught me to use this in all the poultry, dressing and soups. Needless to say, I've been using the original seasoning blend for many, many, many years!

I probably need to stop gatekeeping this portion of my recipe!

Absolutely glorious. The current apples included Zestar, Honeycrisp, and Sweetango. The shop included honey, maple syrup, a good variety of jams, and other products. They had a great selection of freshly baked goods, and also had some frozen apple pies available. We bought an apple turnover and kolache along with two bags of 1/2 peck bags of apples and a strawberry jam. The woman at the counter was very friendly and helpful. We shared the pastries, and WOW, they were good. Based on those, I'd love to try their apple pie someday!

There's so much to take in that I had to set a personal limit (though it's reassuring to know I can always come back... and I will!). They offer a great variety: handmade chocolates, ice cream, coffee, and candies. It's a little treasure for anyone with a sweet tooth. The sweet smell of ch plate fills the air and you can actually see stuff packaging the chocolate (near the counter). The only downside was that the staff didn't greet us when we walked in....we kind of had to initiate the interaction. But once we got talking, things were friendly enough. I left with a small stash of chocolate treats, and they were delicious. Red Wing Confectionery is definitely going to be a regular stop for me whenever I'm in town!
