An Ice cream WONDERLAND!
>> 2/22/10
On our way home last night my wonderful husband wanted to stop at Yogurt Mountain, a local soft serve frozen yogurt place here in Birmingham. (For the record- I was only going to have fruit for dinner- he made me do it!) This was a first time experience for Noel and I- but definitely not our last!
This place is a magical wonderland of sweets (and a diabetic's nightmare!). As I walked in I noticed that everyone walking out had huge cups of ice cream- and when I say huge I mean overflowing the 16oz cups provided by Yogurt Mountain. I thought, "Gee- I sure hope they have a child's portion- that way too much!" Let me tell you- I had to eat my words. When you go in it is all self serve (pay by the ounce). An entire wall is dedicated to soft serve machines with flavors ranging from your traditional vanilla and chocolate to pomegranate, espresso, peanut butter, banana pudding- you name it and they had it. Then you turn around and another wall is dedicated to the toppings. OH the toppings!! They had every cereal and candy imaginable- even fruit and hot toppings. SO hard not to go overboard. I seriously watched my husband become an excited 10 year old kid again.
We had lots of fun and will definitely be back- after we work off all we ate last night...
Noel's impressive list: Chocolate, peanut butter, and banana pudding yogurt with Twix, Reese's, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, vanilla wafers, hot caramel sauce, and a bunch of other stuff (I lost count- as I mentioned- he quickly morphed into the excited 10 year old- precious!)
Devon's list: Chocolate, peanut butter and espresso yogurt with Coco Crispies, peanut butter chips and Twix crumbles. YUM. Read more...
