Achal VarmaMarch 19, 2013I had the Espresso Escape, and it tasted pretty good, just that it had more chocolate fudge sauce in it that espresso ice cream. :( Also, the staff seemed pretty sad. All but one had mopey faces.

LAMIANovember 27, 2018The milk Hot fudge is absolutely divine. Usually I’d got Ocean Beach or Strike It Rich with extra Hot fudge on the side, Why not? The Sea salt caramel hot Cocoa unfortunately has changed recently!
