As I'm not from…read morethe area I have to guess but the outside of the building in other peoples' pictures looks the same only with a different sign. Correct me if I'm wrong. So this is a review of West Coast Cones. Wow! Best ice cream I've had for a very very long time! I had a scoop of Kaluah Chocolate and a scoop of Coffee Hazelnut on a cake cone. They were both soooo silky smooth, soft (but not too) and the flavors tasted amazing! You know how sometimes hazelnut flavor tastes cloyingly sweet and artificial? There was no hint of that in the coffee hazelnut. It tasted just like freshly roasted hazelnuts and good coffee. My husband ordered a cherry shake and he didn't think it had much flavor. I think he made a bad choice. Our friend had chocolate and straccitella . (Don't know how to spell that). He liked it too. I really hope I can go back some day! Soooo impressed!

She also cares what you think of her craft and welcomes feedback. The store is so lovely and clean. Not too little, not too much. They have samples and a spoon slide. The spoon slide is my favorite; it's so much smarter to have reusable spoons, thereby reducing waste. The only "waste" I want to increase is my waistline, so I'm sure to hit them up. This visit I tried the California Pistachio, and my husband tried the Spiked Egg Nog. *snaps fingers in air twirling around* She. Does. Not. Miss. I abhor egg nog, but the ice cream was so good! The California Pistachio was like a dream. Truly nutty flavor with the creamy companion of the other ingredients. Yes, please! I don't care if there's a blizzard, I'm getting BAIC when I'm in Victoria! You should, too!

The service was decent and the cocktails were tasty but the food was terrible. I had the Butternut Squash Ravioli in Brown Butter Sauce..... I know, it sounds tasty right? I was in awe of what was served me. It looked like a pile of condensed cream of mushroom soup and was burnt. I know that brown butter is halfway to burnt butter, but apparently the chef didn't know the difference. In addition to being burnt, the sauce had a strange consistency and had dried cranberries, walnuts and goat cheese... the whole thing was disjointed to say the least. We get out for a kid free meal only a couple of times a year and can't help feeling like this was a waste.

They offer up a good variety and if you can't make up your mind opt for the 7-flavor ice cream flight. I choose a to dabble in a shrub float. New item for me. Shrub is a sweetened fruit infused vinegar. For the float they use the shrub (from local vendor Girl Meets Dirt), seltzer water, and your choice of ice cream. I definitely could see this being a summer drink. Has a bit of a bite from the vinegar (I'd advise to make sure it's all fully incorporated or you'll end up with a straight shot of the shrub).
