I was in Haarlem for Haarlem Jazz this summer (HIGHLY recommended free event, BTW) and we took an ice cream break. A friend living in Haarlem took us to Wessels's Ijs just around the corner from the V&D and I had THE MOST AMAZING ICE CREAM OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. And then I spent two months trying to remember where it was and what it was called so I could write this review. Why didn't I just ask my friend? Good question.
Anyways, I was in Haarlem last week and passed it by chance and made sure to make a mental note this time. So here you have it. The ice cream to beat all ice creams. I was going to order some delicious flavor which has long since been forgotten (the guy working there let us sample, yay) and then he said, "why don't you try this one Kelsey, it's really good, I think you'll like it." Two words: LEMON CHEESECAKE. Okay and another one: OMG. It was really amazing. As I said this ice cream experience was two months ago and I still think about it on a daily basis. Sadly the shop was closed when we went by this time so I'm not sure if they open at all in the winter. If not I will pine for it until the spring/summer. Big sigh. Yum yum yum. read more
