Bluff Park Ice Cream Shoppe

A homely and proud ice cream shop located where the forest meets the cliff, the Bluff Park Ice Cream Shoppe offers ice cream with a view. And access to a burger place right beside it.

Atmosphere:

Walk in. It is cool and smells slightly sweet. There are paintings of ice cream and of the little strip that the Shoppe is located on. Everything is peaceful. There is a display of cones, and prices on the back wall that are written on blackboard while still being easy to read. Everything is well-lit, and calming. It is calm. I come to this shop to relax and talk with my friends. After buying ice cream, I can walk outside and look over endless neighborhoods, acres of woods, and a lake. Or I can lounge in my car, waiting for the bird tweets and wind rustling in the trees to make me nod off.


Actual Ice:

Their ice cream is $5 dollars a scoop, with additional scoops being absurdly cheap, like a dollar. I enjoy their birthday cake flavor, which is vanilla with icing and sprinkles in it. They give color changing spoons for free, and offer baby cones for children 3 and younger. I went in with paying customers and was able to order a baby cone for a quarter. It was an adorable bite. It feels like home.

Rating:

6/7 baby scoops. This place is perfect in that there are no defects, but the wow factor is not sufficient to earn full points

I’ll be upfront with you. I don’t remember this restaurant. Me and my squad arrived in Boston, MA on below freezing night and, being used to Alabama weather, our brains immediately kicked into survival mode. There was no time to notice the hypnotically large Citgo sign, nor to appreciate the extensive, heated bus and train system that saved us from death and allowed us to find the nearest restaurant that was A. heated and B. not sketchy. Welcome to the neighborhood pub of Brighton, Devlin’s Restaurant. Atmosphere: Cozy. Pretty dim lighting with fake candles that were actually LEDs. I don’t mean like “look into your date’s eyes and feel time slip away” dim, I mean “I cannot see my date’s eyes” dim. They do have some nice fire-pillar-tornado things from the indoor pictures on their websites, but I can’t confirm that personally. Their tables were wooden, I think, and were easily forgettable. Their cups were kinda funny, like stout wine glasses. They had a thick stem and were stret...

Pretend you REALLY want a large, wall-scale mural of early 2000s anime and need an excuse to commission one from a legit artist. You decide that establishing a delightfully nerdy ramen bar in Chinatown, Philadelphia is the best cover. You name it Yamitsuki.    Atmosphere: You kinda REALLY like the look of smooth, light-colored wood. In fact, every wall should look like it could be the floor of a beach house, planks of sanded wood separated by small gaps. Additionally, you decide to trisect your restaurant with solid, standing walls of the same colored wood about chest height. This is a great move because even when full, the guests won’t feel too crowded. Now your guests have a place to sit, but you have nothing to serve drinks in! Luckily the science department of your nearby university bought too many 250 mL beakers recently. You’re in luck, and purchase plenty of surplus Pyrex cups for your patrons to drink from.
