HuindekmiParticipantWhere in West Seattle can we find a good soft serve ice cream cone (chocolate / vanilla swirl)?

inactiveMemberTechnically WC, but Dairy Queen still does soft swirl. Combo ch/van? Probably, but don’t hold me to it. :)

ellenaterMembercheck at Uptown Espresso near the Junction. I’m pretty sure they do soft serve swirls.

hammyMemberTullys on Alki has soft serve swirls. But it might be coffee/vanilla.

GenHillOneParticipantI do think DQ does the swirl, but even better, the chocolate dip! Brings back childhood memories of trying really hard to eat all of the yummy shell before dripping ice cream in the car, which apparantly was a special talent of mine :)

SueParticipantNow you guys have me thinking back to my NY Carvel memories, but it’s kinda far to drive to Reno for it (closest one). And I don’t suppose a Mister Softee truck will be coming down the street anytime soon with soft serve. The only 2 good memories I think I have of a hot, humid NYC summer!

EmmyJaneParticipantI wish we had a TCBY around here. My dad with a serious sweet tooth used to drive us there almost every night after dinner. White chocolate mousse with cherries, num num num!

ws4everMemberYES! Ditto the wish for TCBY. There’s one by Alderwood Mall. Their flavors are so delish.

celeste17ParticipantEmmy Jane, I use to work at a TCBY and white chocolate mousse was a favorite at our store. When ever it was posted I had crowds.
August 16, 2010 at 6:04 pm #701471
JustSarahParticipantTCBY still exists?
I love Red Mango for *real* frozen yogurt… mmm. Actually, I prefer Pinkberry, but I only get to have that when I’m down in California. Both are good, but Pinkberry has a delicious dark chocolate flavor.
Still, an original Red Mango frozen yogurt topped with blackberries and raspberries, please! Or pomegranate w/ dark chocolate chips… or Pinkberry chocolate topped with coconut flakes and toasted almond slices…

SueParticipantSarah, the closest one is in Bellevue. Others in Federal Way, Shoreline and Lynnwood. tcby.com

JustSarahParticipantSue, I actually went to their website to check on it, and immediately had to leave because I was so embarrassed on TCBY’s behalf. It looks like they’re desperately trying to keep the brand current, which apparently involves covering the walls of their stores with text-speak: “LOL,” “BRB,” “BFF”; I hope they realize this is meaningless and already dates their stores back to 2002.
I’m not knocking their product; I’ve honestly never had it in my life. But if that’s the company’s best effort at competing against the Red Mango and Pinkberry chains, well… good luck to them!

SueParticipantI was only looking at the locator – I didn’t notice the LOLspeak – that is pretty pathetic. I had TCBY once, and ended up in the hospital over it! I don’t know what ended up in my yogurt, but I had one heck of an anaphylactic reaction to it, which was weird since every ingredient in what I ate I have no allergies to whatsoever. I’ve never been able to bring myself to try it again. (I suspect it was some foreign substance that contaminated the cup it was served in – at least that’s what management and I determined at the time since it was so odd.)

Garden_nymphMemberI don’t know if McDonald’s has chocolate to swirl, but they have a vanilla cone that you can get dipped in chocolate.
August 16, 2010 at 11:58 pm #701476
addParticipantCostco for the swirl! (And I’m pretty sure it’s a Red Mango in U Village and maybe one in Park Place mall downtown).
August 17, 2010 at 12:12 am #701477
JustSarahParticipantYep, Red Mango in University Village, Pacific Place, Southcenter, Bellevue Square… hehe. I have them staked out.
August 17, 2010 at 12:16 am #701478
inactiveMemberWell, if you’re talkin’ Red Mango, then I feel compelled to mention the other “best” Fro-Yo “Utopia” in the Uwajimaya Food Court.
Yes, I know. I’m always pimping them. But they need to open up a shop around the peninsula SOMEWHERE. And soon. :)
Try the avocado if they have it. Every flavor is stellar, however. They use Greek yogurt…nuff said.
August 17, 2010 at 12:20 am #701479
JustSarahParticipantOoh, sounds great, WSD! Thanks for the tip! I love that *real* frozen yogurt has been the trend the last couple years. What a concept to use actual yogurt in the stuff. ;-)

pigeonmomParticipantSue, I’m in Reno right now and I’ll have some Carvel for you. ;) McDonalds has decent soft serve btw.
August 17, 2010 at 8:34 am #701482
dawsonctParticipantHow about frozen custard.
