Oreo Birthday Cake\/Dark Chocolate\/Banoffee<\/p>\n

Having made a special request of Banoffee gelato for an ice cream obsessed friend from England who was visiting for The Olympia it can only be said that Desyree and team came through again, the quality and innovation of her creations continuing to shine in that tiny space in the shadow of the Stratosphere. Clearly a spot earning it\u2019s accolades with an ever-present owner who seems to remember 3\/4 of the patrons by face or by name it was just before 3:00pm that our group of four arrived at 1616 South Las Vegas Blvd and nabbing the last parking spot we were greeted on entry, a fair bit of tasting followed by an order of three flavors each. Impressed by samples ranging from soda to sesame it was with nearly-bitter dark chocolate and whimsical cookies n\u2019 cream studded with sprinkles, sparkles, and bits of cake that my trio began and rounding things out with our special request I couldn\u2019t help but be amazed, the robust flavor of ripe bananas with only the slightest bit of additional sweetness afloat in a creamy base as pockets of rich toffee added both its characteristic topnote and texture, a bit of caramelized sugar even getting stuck in my teeth.<\/p>\n

FIVE STARS: One of those rare places that really does live up to the hype Art of Flavors remains on par with the nation\u2019s best producers of frozen treats, the small-batch production only serving to improve an already high-quality product while the owner\u2019s innovative spirit seems to know no end.<\/p>\n

RECOMMENDED: Tasting everything and then ordering too much of whatever you like best.<\/p>\n

AVOID: I simply couldn\u2019t bring myself to try the smoked salmon flavor, though I give them credit for trying.<\/p>\n

TIP: Check out the daily specials on social media\u2026provided you have the willpower to avoid the resultant temptation\u2026or, for those of weaker resolution, do so on Monday when the store is closed.<\/p>\n
