AWESOME THING WE ATE #900: Chocolate Mint Ice Cream Sandwiches From Beta5

Portrait

beta5

This little babies from Beta5 really hit the spot. The ice cream was outstanding (made in-house, like everything else) and the cookies were soft chocolate shortbread that ease on the tooth without crumbling. We’ve just heard that they’ve sold out but the good news is that right now they’re doing a run of Black Forest ice cream sandwiches made with bourbon poached cherries sourced from Sapo Bravo farms. Giddy-up!
