Erin has made no pretenses about her unhealthy addiction to new arrival Sweet Frog . If toppings are
It s rare that we disagree strongly about something. Usually we re a half-star or maybe maybe! a full star away from the other s point of view. When it comes to Charlottesville s frozen treats, travel packages at a discount however, things travel packages at a discount can get ugly. At least on the page. In reality, things are rarely ugly when frozen treats of any kind are going into your mouth. Speaking travel packages at a discount of which, we love Ben Jerry s but didn t include it and other nationwide chains in favor of more local or regional options. Whether you agree, disagree, or know of a great place nearby that we haven t tried, let us know in the comments!
Erin has made no pretenses about her unhealthy addiction travel packages at a discount to new arrival Sweet Frog . If toppings are used responsibly, Sweet Frog actually provides a fairly healthy treat. The original tart flavor with fresh fruit is refreshing and delicious, and the peanut butter is surprisingly authentic. Jed says: Get the vegetables and low-fat crap outta my ice cream and just give me chocolate, caramel, and buttloads of candy drowning in whipped cream. Thank you, Mr. or Mrs. Chandler , or whoever you are, for Grandy s Delight the perfect frozen indulgence on a sticky summer night. #2
Chaps Ice Cream isn t about fancy, hip flavors and a chic setting - it s about creamy, old fashioned ice cream that s made on the premises. Thanks in particular to the German Chocolate Ice Cream , Chaps is Erin s runner-up. Jed concedes that sometimes, like on a Tuesday at lunchtime, lower fat options are nice. What really makes Arch s sing, though, is the famous gooey brownie on top of Angel Food Cake or Marshmallow yogurt. The chocolate chip cookie dough at the Corner location tastes like the real thing, too, and not that frozen pebbly rabbitpuckey you find everywhere else. #3
Erin likes to transport herself to another time by taking a counter seat at Timberlake s and ordering one of their stellar root beer floats. It s true that the magic isn t in any unique ingredients - the ice cream is Breyer s - but the setting is perfect and the sundaes and floats made perfectly by a wait staff that s been there for years. Jed wasn t a huge fan of Chaps the first time he tried it he thought it was just standard issue ice cream but it has grown and grown on him over the years. It s fresh and local and the German Chocolate Cake is dynamite! #4
Splendora s injects some creativity travel packages at a discount into the frozen treat scene in town. Curried peach, pink grapefruit, and cucumber mint share the stage with traditional gelato classics like amaretto and zabaione. We appreciate the creativity and that they use local ingredients, but must admit that at times Splendora s isn t as good as we want it to be or as the offerings sound. #5
Half of Jed s college memories involve Arch s, so Erin tends to be much less fanatical about it than Jed. Erin finds the options, particularly the Wow Cow, not as flavorful as she d like. But the Archer s combo options are out of this world and the legendary brownie topping secures travel packages at a discount a strong showing for Erin s list. Jed thinks Sweet Frog s concept is great, and he is drawn to cake battery stuff like a stinkbug to your windowsill, but it leaves him feeling a little gross afterwards. Maybe it s because they let him heap on as many Reese s Peanut Butter Cups as he wants. #6
While the soft serve sundaes aren t Erin s favorite, Chandler s still offers nostalgic delight. Nothing says summer like sitting in the tractor supply parking lot eating melted soft serve. Jed thinks Timberlake makes the best malted milkshake in town. Too bad the ice cream basically travel packages at a discount comes straight out of the grocery store freezer. #7
Located right by the airport on 29, Dips Sips is run by the friendliest frozen treat people around. They re generous with the samples, which include candy-rich mixes. The ice cream comes from Florida, and it s good but doesn t seem worth the long transport. I wish the delightful owners would try their hand at making their own concoctions. #8
Kohr Brothers is part of a chain but there are locations in only eight states on the east coast and Virginia has more locations than anywhere except Jersey, so we re including it. They offer the only frozen custard in the area. You re either a frozen custard person or you re not, but for Erin the consistency doesn t come close to ice cream or even yogurt. Jed really likes the consistency travel packages at a discount but thinks the flavor is lacking.

Um. Can I start going to ice cream with you guys? It upsets my husby s tummy, so I rarely actually travel packages at a discount get to go OUT and have a treat. From this list, I have had Chaps, Arch s and Kohr Bros. Of the three, I prefer Arch s (and I *didn t* go to UVA and do not have a nostalgic association with it; I just really, really love an Arch Angel), then Chaps, then Kohr Bros. But it sounds as though I need to find an ice cream buddy to try all of the other places too...
Have to respectfully disagree. Splendora s espresso chip makes Starbucks taste like air. And Patricia s blood orange sorbet? OMG!!!!!!!!!!! (I should add, I don t do frozen travel packages at a discount yogurt. Give me full fat please :)
they always have Vanilla, Vanilla Chocolate Chip, Chocolate, Choco-Choco Chip, Maple Walnut, Coconut, Strawberry (made with strawberry chunks and pureed strawberries), travel packages at a discount Coffee (greenberry s decaf), travel packages at a discount Peach, Mint-Choco-Choco-Chip travel packages at a discount (chocolate with andes mint pieces), but they ve also had pralines cream, as well as cinnamon, which is amazing on their homemade chipotle brownies with spicy chocolate sauce.
