Restaurant: Smitten Ice Cream

Rating: Deep frozen goodness

Smitten is a new take on ice cream, cooled with liquid nitrogen instead of ice. This results in smaller ice crystals and a creamier confection.



The daily menu.


Smitten ice cream is made using a special custom nitro mixer.


Chocolate.


Salted caramel with spicy caramel. The spicy was actually genuinely spicy!


Chocolate with chocolate sauce.


Classic vanilla with regular caramel.


Cone of chocolate.


Cone of chocolate with chocolate.


Chocolate ice cream bar.

Smitten is excellent, although it only has four flavors and the production process is a bit slow, which limits volume.
