Arctic Bites — Restaurant in Louisiana

I stumbled upon this place when I was looking for a boba tea shop or just something sweet for my sweet tooth. I saw that this place has really good reviews so I decided hey why not give it a try. I am SO GLAD that I did bc honestly this rolled ice cream place is the best I’ve been to so far. We used to have other places in Baton Rouge but they closed down so it’s been a few years so I’ve had it. What I love about this place is how incredibly fresh and visually appealing it is.

The ice cream has a very creamy texture and it’s not too sweet. You can taste the different rolled in toppings and the freshness of the topped toppings. It’s light, airy and just so so good. I love to mix my own but my husband has ordered the premade ones and have liked it so far! I have been both times that I visited BR and I will continue to come when I’m in town.

Also, this is worth mentioning—this place is locally and family owned. The people that work there are so nice, accommodating and sweet. They did not get annoyed or rushed me when I had a billion Qs or requests. But bc this is a family owned business, you will have to be patient if they are super busy as they make each item by hand. It is 110% worth the wait!!

If you’re in the area or even if you’re not…definitely give this place a try. It will not disappoint you and don’t be surprised if you’re already planning your next trip lol!

PS-the roasted...

This is one of my friends' and I's favorite dessert places! The rolled ice cream is really good and they make it ready to order. I haven't had a single bad thing from here. My favorite is the First Kiss flavor but sometimes I'll branch out.

The staff has always been really nice and friendly. They kept the shop open later so we could finish our ice cream and made our to-go orders for when we left so they wouldn't melt in the car. They also have punch cards to get an ice cream for free!

There is also a bunch of art and decorations in the shop which I think are done by the family who runs it! It is also locally owned if that's something you look for in a restaurant.

Heard about the shop on 225dine and their instagram post of the bubble waffle ice cream looked interesting. But my experience was pretty disappointing. They took 15 minutes to prepare the dish. Primary reason being they burned the egg waffle(see pic). Rather than create another, they used the same burned waffle. The mango tang I tried did not have that much of mango flavor and tasted bland. I guess I am spoiled by Häagen-Dazs mango sorbet :)

My friend had the chocolate rolled ice cream and the chocolate flavor did not come through, and he was disappointed.

Maybe this was a one off experience seeing the generally positive reviews on here. Hopefully my next time...
