The Bent Spoon In Pr - Wyanett

I have been going to The Bent Spoon since the day they opened. But sadly, they no longer behave like a local ice cream shop that treats you like a neighbor. I 'm cool with the crowds, but today was a step too far. We stopped in with our 10, 8 3 year old. The five of us all like different flavors of ice cream, which isn 't uncommon I imagine. But check this out...when I ordered 1 scoop of vanilla for our 3 year old, I was told they only serve 2 scoops per order. OK, we can figure this out, no prob. So I rationally asked if they could put one vanilla scoop for our 3-year old into one cup and put the chocolate scoop for our 10-year old in a different cup. Voila, they get the ice creams they want, and we pay for the full 2 scoops. The answer was that 's not our policy. So I asked for the manager. Surely, this can 't be the case. We want 6 different scoops of ice cream, so surely they can 't expect us to order 12 scoops (2 scoops of each flavor)? But the manager confirmed sorry, it 's our policy to not split scoops into different cups. So it was our son 's 8th birthday today. They knew that. He chose to go there. Not even that mattered to them, no exceptions are to be made. Either order double the ice cream that you want, or we can 't help you. So once we exited, I explained the situation to him. He said so they want Luna (his 3-year old sister) to eat two scoops of vanilla even though she only eats one? Yes. That 's ridiculous! he said. Even an 8 year old can see that. So off to one of the other local ice cream shops we went (there are many), where the shop employees were genuinely happy to celebrate our son 's birthday, and to hand each of our children one scoop of their favorite flavor ice creams.

Some might wonder why you'd wait 30 minutes for what seems like the same old ice cream. But no, my friend, you're no fool—this isn't just any ice cream, it's THE Bent Spoon ice cream! Worth the wait and every single calorie!

This is the best ice cream ice ever had. Creamy and obviously recently made. No signs of defrosting and then re-freezing. The place is always packed and the store in tiny, which is why the atmosphere rating is low. I keep going back for the cardamom and ginger ice cream. It’s the most unique flavor I’ve ever had, and it’s addicting. I love the little pieces of ginger in it. Would definitely recommend.

Literally the best ice cream i’ve ever had in my life. My only complaint is they put the ice cream in a cup that’s only half the size of the ice cream itself, so it gets all over the sides of the cup and your hands. If they got bigger cups and used the same amount of ice cream it would be a much more pleasant experience! Will still be back, it was so good

If you're visiting Princeton during the summer months, a stop at The Bent Spoon is a must. Their ice cream is undeniably delicious with a plethora of flavors to choose from. They're particularly good at cookies too, so I highly recommend trying the ice cream sandwich between two homemade cookies. Just a heads up though—it might melt quickly! :
