Back to Moo Moo's

We return to Moo Moo's in Strathroy for our ice cream blog.  Last year it scored 3rd in The Best Ice Cream Challenge.  How will it do this year- we will soon find out!  It is also important to note during this outing the judges were identified from the blog.  However, we assure you that our comments will be unbiased.  

Comments:

• shop was very clean
• lovely patio
• cashier was very friendly; owner was very friendly and identified the judges from the blog
• cashier offered samples to the judges of Sweet and Salty Pretzel  (without the judges asking)
• Maple Walnut Pecan had lots of whole pecans 
• Sweet and Salty Pretzel was a unique and new flavour

The Score:

The Final Verdict: 

 Moo Moo's once again gets 4 ice cream scoops out of 5, with high marks given for customer service and ambience.  

Does Shaw's Taste Different?

Shaw's slogan is "Taste the Difference"- we are putting this to the test for our Ice Cream Challenge.  The judges are already to rate Shaw's, so lets get to their comments.

Comments:

• Customer service- very slow service; only three cashiers- which wasn't enough for the crowd; apox wait time 15 mins. 
• Inside has photos and a old fashioned counter that is reminiscent of the old fashioned ice cream bar
• There were flies buzzing around the shop compromising the cleanliness 
• Outside deck was nice 
• Poor washrooms
• Not enough room for people to line up 
• Excellent selection of ice cream flavors
• Chocolate Brownie flavor didn't have enough brownies

The Score:

Final Verdict:

Although the judges give Shaw's a high rating in the taste department, it did fall short in areas of ambience and value.  Therefore Shaw gets a rating of 

73.9% or 3 scoops out of 5

Yo Yo for YoYos

It is a new season for the Best Ice Cream Challenge.   Since last year’s winner was Kiwi Kraze, we thought we’d start off the blog by rating another frozen yogurt establishment- Yo Yos.  The store is on trendy Richmond, so will we get a trendy product with a trendy price?   Here’s our opinion. 

Comments:
·    Customer Service was poor; service clerks didn't welcome customers or explain how to get the yogurt
·    There was not enough choice in frozen yogurt flavors; both chocolate and vanilla flavours had very little taste
·    The appearance of fruit (bananas and strawberries) didn't look as appealing as fruit at Kiwi Kraze, and the choices were limited
·    Excellent choice of candy toppings (including Crispy Crunch, Skor, Smarties, gummy worms etc…)
·    Not as many designer sauces as Kiwi Kraze
·    Very Expensive

The Score:

Taste of Product	3
Appearance Of Product	3
Customer Service	2
Ambience	4
Value	1
Total	13/25

Final Verdict:

Yo Yo's gets 1 scoop out of 5
