I’ve chosen to do the ice cream and dessert list to do for this semester. I’m most looking forward to exploring all the cool places to get sweet treats from. I feel like that information will definitely help after Midterms and Finals to distress! I hope that this experience will help me get out and visit all of Columbus’s attractions. I figure that if I go out for desserts, I will also head out to find all the different places around it. So far, I have gone to Jeni’s ice cream place and I loved it!
Jeni’s ice cream place was great. Its location on high street makes it convenient to bus to. At Jeni’s, I was interested to find all the interesting flavors. They did not just stop at vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. They had an array of different flavors, some sounding delicious, like pumpkin 5-spice, and others sounding very interesting, like sweet potato éclair. It was a blast tasting a lot of the weird flavors with friends. I would absolutely recommend going here for a fun, night time treat to a friend and Jeni’s can expect seeing me walk through their doors in the future!
Destination Donuts was a cool doughnut place I found while searching around North Market. Its area in North Market makes it a cool place to go because you can go there if you are in the taste for anything, from polish food to pretzels. The coolest part about Destination Donuts is that they change the different donuts that they have available to eat so everyday you could get a different flavor of donuts which makes it a place to go back to! Going here makes me want to try out all the other places in North Market as I’m sure they are just as interesting. I would definitely come back here for a doughnut snack and would definitely recommend friends try it out as well!
Simply Rolled was an ice cream shop with a twist. They create all the ice cream in front of you and also roll the ice cream up instead of scooping it! It was an interesting way to prepare ice cream and they had very creative flavors as well! They had Oreo to strawberry banana to pecan pie! The area it was in was similar to Jeni’s, on high street and easy to get to by bus. I’m not sure if I would go back to get rolled ice cream, but it was definitely a great experience to have. I would recommend anyone who has never been here to go for the first time!
Chop Shop was a burger place that seemed oddly familiar to 5 Guys. They offered a selection of burgers, fries, shakes, and beers (if you were of age of course!). You could go there by yourself or buy an entire tray of fries with your friends, which is what I did! The food their was good, but nothing really stood out to me as compared to any other burger place around campus like Stack City or the already mentioned 5 Guys. Although the distance is very close to North Campus which makes it very convenient to go to if you’re craving a good burger. Overall, it was a fun experience to go with a group of people and its definitely the burger place to go to because of its convenience and good food!
