Zesto's is a local Ft Wayne ice cream chain with two locations near where I grew up in NE Ft Wayne…read more(and a few more in other parts of the city). It's remarkably still around and more popular than ever! This location on St. Joe Center Road is the closest to my family home and the one I have the most memories of - my dad would often take me, my siblings, my mom, and whatever dog(s) we had at the time in his 1955 GMC pick-up truck (which he only used for short trips) and let us each get a small soft serve twist cone on hot summer nights in the 90s and 2000s. He would complain about the price, take a bite out of each cone, and we would eat our ice cream while people watching. Good memories. My boyfriend wanted to see some of my favorite childhood places so we stopped here last night on the way home from my birthday dinner (I always have room in my stomach for ice cream!). I got my childhood fave, a medium soft serve twist but with sugar free lemon and vanilla instead of the vanilla/chocolate combo our dad would get us. In the last 20 years, Zesto's has expanded their menu immensely and offer more flavors, more toppings, and even things like dole whip and Boston coolers! My boyfriend got a medium peach Boston cooler and enjoyed it, but it was a lot so I graciously finished it off for him. The medium was a lot smaller than it should be for nearly $5 while the Boston cooler was appropriately priced at about $6. Now I see why my dad always complained about the cost! Yes, Zesto's is more expensive than most other places like it but its really good ice cream, kind and quick service, and holds a special place in my heart! #worthit

We enjoy walking up instead of the drive thru because it's nice to see the flowers and it goes a little quicker in my opinion.

I like that…read morethey have a drive thru! * Food: Got the #15 strawberries and cream with cheesecake topping and the #11 mango cup loaded with Tajín, lime, chamoy, and tamarindo candy. The Mango cup was sweet, tangy, and spicy - a solid and refreshing choice. The strawberries and cream were kinda a letdown. Their menu has a lot of options, so I'd be open to trying something else. They have sweet and savory treats. * The drive thru service took a while. It took longer than expected to get our order. On the flip side, there were kids inside happily digging into their treats. It's a nice spot to treat yo fam bam. * For the price, it's expensive for the area...I'd say this is more of a once in a while treat instead of a go-to spot. Overall not sure if I'd come back. There are better and other affordable Mexican dessert/snack spots.

The menu has a variety of items and price points to our liking and the taste - the taste is the best of the best! We love the new seasonal flavors this Zesto has. Our child loved her Razzle mint oreo so much. They would have never selected it for themself if not for the magnificent Jaci that helped her decide. They don't rush you, are very kind and helpful, and they all go above and beyond to make the experience fun for all. Thank you Jaci and the Zesto team! We plan on making this a family treat tradition and recommend you do too!

I wasn't just being a jerk lol.

The cheese fries were disappointing with the darken color and it was lightly dusted with cheese powder. I was expecting it to be like the cheesy corn. The Thai rolled ice cream hit the spot with bright colors and the perfect sweetness. Pro tip if it's too much ice cream you can have them split it. Summary: go for the chicken and finish your meal with ice cream but skip the fries!

If you like samples, Kilwins is the place to visit. I was offered samples of ice cream and fudge,…read morebut I passed on the fudge because it's one of the sweets I do not like. (Grainy, greasy chocolate-like substance? Hard pass.) Chocolate I do like: Peanut butter cups! But they need to be made with real chocolate (sorry, Reese's) and they need to be big, so that there's an almost equal proportion of peanut butter to chocolate. Milk chocolate peanut butter cups are great, but dark chocolate ones are even better. I got a huge dark chocolate peanut butter cup to take back with me to my hotel, which happened to be around the corner. It was so silky and smooth and just what I wanted. Kilwins is the place to find all kinds of chocolate treats, plus things like popcorn and peanut brittle, gourmet marshmallows, food gifts and lots more sweets. They also have a full ice cream parlor in the shop, where you can get ice cream by the scoop or made into a sundae or milkshake. This place has outdoor seating, so you can sit on the patio and enjoy your ice cream or chocolate while watching the people of Fort Wayne go by.

I once again looked to get something for the family, as we were hot and needed to cool down. I saw that The Apple Cart, which sells baked goods, sold Apple Pie a la mode.

That ice cream did the trick and helped us stay cooled down as we watch some great baseball!

Omgeeeee people in the area. How does this place only have 1 review? Their ice cream taste soooo…read moregooooooood! They may not have 31 flavors nor may not be super loaded with candy and other junk, but their ice cream is so frigging good and high quality - and I know good quality because I am an Ice Cream Scientist!! The texture is so velvety and smooth - not sticky, chewy or super fluffy - and the flavor profile is super dead on. I liked the Blueberry mandarine orange but I'm not sure if I dig the icy texture of mandarin orange(but that's my personal preference since I don't love sorbets), but Blueberry good with just a hint of floral notes. And let's talk about LAVENDER!!!!!! It was to die for!! If I was making lavender flavored ice cream, this is exactlt how I would make it. Smooth, silky, not super sweet, not overly floral/medicinal and without any other junk that might interfere with the beautiful lavender art they created. Come on people, give this place some more love. Try their lavender ice cream!!

They have daily lunch board items that is visual upon walking in. They also have a menu and as bonus it is in Spanish and English limited to 9 tables for in dinning options but it wasn't empty when we dined at 2 pm. They had tacos de lengua on the day we came. OMG OMG, the tongue was prepared perfectly. Tender, juicy and flavorful. It was enough to fill the two corn tortillas it came with. Only downfall is that their tortillas are not homemade. Which kinda sucked. But still tasted amazing. I would come here just for these tacos. If you love tongue this is the place to get them. They also had tacos de tripa but the tongue was making my Mouth salivate just thinking of them so I passed on the tripa tacos. I will have to try one next time. We also ordered the shrimp soup and although it was a taste worthy option it wasn't as good as I have had at other places. It was also served with corn tortillas that again were not homemade. Two tamales were ordered as well. One Chicken one beef and both were stellar options. Non spicy but came with a perfectly spicy verde salsa that made my nose water. Which is awesome in a salsa. This is a definite must stop and eat and splurge in some sweet pairings. However we did not stay for sweets. After all here is a Mexican bakery next doo!!

Salted Caramel Pretzel Path Ice Cream: Edy's/Dreyer's was founded in 1928 when ice cream maker…read moreWilliam Dreyer partnered up with candy maker Joseph Edy. The company is credited with creating both Rocky Road (1929) and one of my favorites, Cookies 'N Cream (1982) ice cream flavors. West of the Rocky Mountains the products are labeled under the Dreyer name and east of the Rockies they are labeled as Edy's, simply to honor both founders. Introduced in 2021 was the Rocky Road Collection, which includes the Salted Caramel Pretzel Path (SCPP) flavor. Get it? "Path" instead of "Road". This ambitious flavor has a salted caramel base, fudge swirls, pockets of chocolatey covered toffee, and crunchy chocolatey covered salted pretzels. Overall, I really enjoyed this flavor, so let's get the bad out of the way. It tasted like caramel ice cream to me; I wasn't getting much salt. Not a big deal for me, but it might be for others. The fudge swirls were also too sparse. That being said, both the fudge swirls and caramel flavored ice cream tasted just fine. As for the mix-ins, the chocolatey covered toffee and crunchy chocolatey covered salted pretzels (actually salty) are the stars of the show. Both are relatively abundant and pack a ton of flavor to make up for some of the prior short-comings I mentioned. Doughboy approved!
