Food Review: Creole Creamery

A friend took me to this "New Orleans original" just this past Thursday for a post-movie treat. As I'm quiet the crackwhore for any type of ice cream, I was completely game. With over 20 flavors, Creole Creamery boasts hand-made, one-of-a-kind flavors like Chocolate Amaretto Cheesecake, Chevre, Chocwork Orange, Cookie Monster, and Drunken Kiwi.

In fact, there's an entire case dedicated just to their large variety of chocolate, and chocolate variant, flavors. Apparently most customers have such an issue trying to decide on just one or two flavors that a mini sampler (up to 6 different flavors) can be purchase. But if you think "mini" isn't going to satisfy your fix, I highly recommend the "Tchoupitoulas." (Don't worry if you can't pronounce it, as you'll need all your oral skills to try to finish eating it!) As it has 8 scoops of ice cream and is topped with 8 toppings making more than a mouth full for even the most die-hard lover of ice cream.

With a classic soda-shop interior, complete with bar stools and a counter. The walls are adorned with nostalgic New Orleans memorabilia and various print accolades. If the humidity outside isn't too bad, you can dine cafe-style in the front of the store and watch the Garden District's elite mill by.
