Frozen Treats: Yo-Way

When I went to Yo-Way today I sampled what are now my two favorite sorbet flavors: sour apple and strawberry lemonade. They were so yummy AND really pretty swirled together. At Yo-Way the bobas are called poppers and they have two flavors of them: strawberry and yellow, which I think is pineapple. The mochis here are all white. When we walked in they had a jar of the cutest ice cream cone marshmallows and I couldn't resist trying at least one. They were so yummy I would go back for just a plain bowl of those marshmallows if my mom would let me!

Frozen Treats: TCBY in South Austin

I'm not actually a huge frozen yogurt fan, but I LOVE sorbet. And I LOVE toppings. And the TCBY in my neighborhood has my two favorite toppings: bobas and mochis. I have no idea what either of them actually are, I just know they are yummy and they taste great on sorbet. And lucky for me this store usually has two great sorbets to choose from. This week it's mango and red grapefruit and those two flavors mix really well together. For 50 cents you can also get a fresh baked waffle cone to dip in your frozen treat. Super yummy!

Frozen Treats: Lick

Last week some friends from Houston came to visit and told us that eating at Lick was on their agenda. And then they ate at Lick and couldn't stop raving about it. They liked all the interesting flavors. They had read all the reviews. And they said it was yummy.

So today we put that on our agenda. At 4:30 that place was crowded so we weren't comfortable asking for too many samples, but we did taste Blackberry, Lime and Basil and Lemon Lavender. We didn't chose either one of those. I ordered Caramel Salt Lick (DELICIOUS!!), my brother got Fresh Mint and Chocolate Chunk (Super yummy!) and my mom got Honeyed Peaches with Rosemary. Hers was pretty good, but I wouldn't choose it for myself.

On the menu a small cone runs about $3.50, but you get two scoops of ice cream so that seems like a good deal. Of course my mom only let us each get one scoop, but it was right before dinner so we forgave her. I'm pretty sure she'll be taking us back soon. This place is awesome!

The flavors are listed on this ladder when you walk in.
