Enjoying Ice Cream at Molly Moon's

While out visiting my brother he made homemade ice cream from scratch. The finished product was a delicious peanut butter with Reese's peanut butter cup chunks ice cream. It was pretty darn good.

When my brother came into town last week I took him to Molly Moon's. A newer Seattle ice cream establishment, Molly Moon's has really taken root with their delicious homemade style ice cream and interesting variety of flavors. It's gotten quite popular and I've never seen the place without a line. We visited the newest store on Capitol Hill (their original and other location is in Wallingford) and had impeccable timing. We just beat the after-dinner rush because right after we arrived and ordered the line was 10 people long behind us and still was when we left!

Molly Moon's has a combination of standard flavors but always has special flavors to try. My brother enjoyed a scoop of salty caramel on top of a scoop of vivace coffee ice cream in a waffle cone. The salty caramel is seriously salty - I've only attempted a sample but I think I'm going to try to get through a whole scoop next time.

I stuck with my tried and true favorite thai iced tea ice cream. It's not as sweet as a real thai iced tea but that's why I like it so much (and if you haven't had a thai iced tea order one next time you have thai food!).

My husband went for their classic balsamic strawberry ice cream which actually has ribbons of balsamic vinegar running through it and it's a really nice subtle combination of sweet and salty.

And our friend Matt enjoyed a scoop of mojito ice cream. And it was literally like having a frozen mojito (but without the buzz unfortunately). Cool, limey and minty it was a fun flavor to experience.
