Yassss. Hands-down, best ice cream ever. Ample Hills is the best thing that's happened to me since... well, maybe discovering how to make smores in the microwave when I was 10?! :-) They let you try several flavors before deciding, AND you can mix flavors. Bring a friend who isn't "big on ice cream," and you'll make them a believer.
If you haven't had ample hills ice-cream yet- then you never had amazing ice-cream. Nothing can compare- the ooey gooey flavor is a must. There will most definitely be a line down the block but it is 100% worth the wait you won't be disappointed!
So I saw the long line and at first I thought, "Aagh, it's not worth it for me today..." I started to walk out. "Well....maybe I'll try it. I can leave if it takes too long."
I see a girl walking around giving out samples. "Yeah, I'm going to stay long enough to get one of these!!! Then I can leave."
The sample was delicious. I stayed. The line started moving faster and I chatted a bit with the guy behind me and his daughter, who gave me some flavor recs when I said it was my first time there. Some of which I'll definitely try the next time(s).
When I got up front, I tasted Bourbon Street (good, but I decided I was in the mood for chocolate). I asked the server, "What was the flavor you guys were sampling a few minutes ago--Chocolate Saucer?"
She looked confused and then said, "Oh no, it's the Dark Chocolate - soft serve."
Oops. Duh on me. I asked to try the Dark Chocolate hard ice cream, just for comparison. She gave me some on a spoon--that one was delicious too, so I decided to get a cup of that one.
When leaving, I saw two guys walk in and walk out ("This line is too long"). I told them it moved pretty fast for me and they also had some good samples, so one of the guys said, "Okay, you sold me!! We're staying."
I definitely will have to come here again this summer, the ice cream is seriously amazing.
