An Traditional Favorite Gets A Remarkable Twist

The newest kid on the block takes the form of Foam Floaterie. This ice cream float shop offers handmade ice creams, sodas, popsicles, and ice cream sandwiches. There are flavors that everyone is familiar with like vanilla, but your taste buds will be taken to a new plane of existence with treats like bourbon sweet potato, root beer, and peanut butter and jam ice creams.

Unlike mass-produced ice cream, Owner Tish Smith makes every batch by hand without chemicals or preservatives. The custom-made frozen custard desserts is a re-creation of a high-end restaurant plated dessert. You don’t have to dig into your closets for your fanciest duds to try a scoop (or two) of ice cream in any combination or in the form of an ice cream float!

During my visited, I tried every flavor but was drawn to the sweet potato and mole chocolate. The sweet potato was like a scoop of pie sans crust, but of course, colder and creamer.

The mole chocolate was listed as “not for the faint of heart.” Personally, I’m up for any flavor challenge. Rich and creamy as well, this ice cream is a rich darker chocolate. It’s after you savor the flavor after the first swallow you’ll notice a slight the Mexican spiciness mole is known for. This ice cream seems was specially made to battle of the chill of winter.

I had a scoop of each flavor topped with a shot of espresso the Foam Floaterie calls Affogato. The mix of the ice creams complemented the strength of the Italian coffee.

Along with ice creams, Foam offers sodas made hand-crafted, flavored syrups. You will find ginger ale, apple cider, and tangerine, but the difference with these sodas from ones you find bottled is that, again like everything else, they’re made with natural and organic ingredients.

Ice cream isn’t just for the warmer months or to be found in a musical truck. Not a fan of soda? Bring in your own beer and make a truly adult float. Imaging a Guinness with a scoop for your favorite ice cream.
