Oregon Ice Cream, LLC — Attraction in Eugene

Leave it to Costco to introduce me to new products I never knew existed. As I rounded the ice cream freezer section, I noticed an affordable box of ice cream sandwiches. Enter this review.

Parent company Oregon Ice Cream consists of offspring Cascade Glacier and Alden's Organic companies, both in the dessert business. Alden's Organic sells a variety of ice cream, dairy-free sweets and frozen fruit treats available in bars, sandwiches and containers.

THE GOODS: Alden's Organic Vanilla Bean Round Sammies The box sold at Costco consists of 18 Fat Boy-like ice cream sandwiches but round in shape and filled with vanilla bean ice cream vs. plain vanilla. To be honest, if I did a blind taste test between the two, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. But, it's good knowing that Alden's version is organic and free of high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners and flavors, GMO's, carrageenan (a thickener) and antibiotics. Another plus is that they aren't pricey either at around $10.

OVERALL: Even if you purchase this at a chain or big box store, you're still...

If you're so lucky to deliver here in the early morning then you are okay..... because you have to enter their loading docks From a semi busy Street.... they only have two docks and if both of them are taken then you have to sit there on the street in the Middle.... also it is rather tight for a 53-foot combos to make a u-turn.... daycabs do not have this problem because they have no sleeper...

It's a super tight fit. My first time being here, had two guys help me back in, pretty thankful for that. Check in was fast the guy who checked me in was super nice. Got loaded fast, I would come back but hopefully not. Not because of the employees but because of myself lol. Don't like tight areas makes...
