For my Columbus To-do List, I have chosen to do “Ice Cream and Desserts”. I chose this list because I am one of the biggest ice cream fanatics I know. I am most looking forward to trying all the wonderful ice cream flavors and styles of Columbus and finding the perfect go-to ice cream shop. From this assignment, I hope to be able to navigate COTA better and find the best place to get my favorite type of dessert: ice cream. I need to know which ice cream shop I can pay a weekly (sometimes daily) visit.
Columbus To-do List Stop #1: Johnson’s Real Ice Cream
My first stop on the to-do list was Johnson’s Real Ice Cream. Johnson’s is a cute shop that sells fudge logs, cookies, smoothies, sandwiches, ice cream, and much more. It is located directly next to Capital University’s campus; Johnson’s is in a beautiful neighborhood. I got two scoops of ice cream- one of moose tracks and one of mint chocolate chip. Both flavors were wonderfully creamy and delicious. I learned that their flavor, the “Columbus Crunch”, had heath bar, sprinkles, Oreo, and chocolate chips all mixed into vanilla ice cream. I had trouble when ordering because they do not keep the ice cream flavors sitting right up front for you to look. I could not decide whether I should risk trying a new flavor that I had never seen or heard of or if I should just stick with flavors that I have had before. I would recommend Johnson’s Real Ice Cream to a friend because its ice cream flavors were wonderful. However, it is not the most ideal place to travel because it is hard to find transportation headed directly to Johnson’s Real Ice Cream if you do not have access to a car. I will definitely go back when I can get my sister or a friend to drive me.
