The theme-based list that I chose was Ice Cream and Desserts. I am most looking forward to trying the vegan bakery items at Pattycake because it is often hard to find bakeries that only use vegan ingredients, so I am super excited to try them. I am also excited to try Rocket Fizz Soda Pop and Candy Shop. I hope to be able to be familiar with places around campus that I can hang out at in my free time. I am also looking forward to walking around the Arena District and even downtown Columbus to finally see what all it has to offer. Because I am not from Columbus, I am not familiar with a lot of places, so it’ll be fun to finally discover some places that might feel like home. Some of the places that I have visited so far are Jenni’s Splendid Ice Creams and Pattycake Bakery. At Jenni’s I sampled many of the flavors, but I ended up getting the frose sorbet, which was extremely good! It was one of the only vegan options and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I will definitely be returning! The other place that I went to was Pattycake Bakery, which is the vegan bakery. I chose to get “marry me blueberry” muffin, which was also extremely good and I will definitely be returning there for another! Overall I was very pleased with the options that I chose from both shops. Although they are a bit on the pricey side, I would definitely treat myself to one of the two every one in a while. I would also highly recommend both of these places to my friends, but especially the vegan options.
