Marcel's Ice Cream game has come in and changed the balance of the ice cream landscape. I had a peanut butter cup sundae and it was fantastic. How fantastic you ask? I was full from dinner to where this was definitely the illogical choice based on its size, and yet every bite was better than the next and no full tummy was going to stop my taste buds from my momentary bliss.

We received an apology but not offer...

The guy was nice and admitted he made a little mess. He offered to put it on a paper plate for me, which was thoughtful. I thought it would’ve been real strawberries but it was mainly strawberry syrup, like for milkshakes, with very few frozen strawberries. It was a disaster. I ended up throwing the majority of it away! I shouldn’t even recommend Plank Rd ice cream as the line is already too long but I’ll...
