D.LAM Reviews....Haagen-Dazs

Reviews... Haagen-Dazs

DESSERT
TASTE-3 || PRESENTATION-4 || ORIGINALITY- 4

I actually went to Haagen-Dazs twice. On both occasions I got the same waiter who was quite friendly and accommodating. I ordered a two scoop creation of Chocolate and Caramel on my first trip and a brownie on my second trip. Being a chocolate lover as you can tell I was pleasantly satisfied both times. However even though I like the flavors provided the texture of the ice cream itself was not of the standard I expect of a Ice cream parlor of this category.
Nestled in the recently opened Barbican Centre Haagen-Dazs is an Ice Cream parlor that has been given a makeover. Whereas parlors of yore were simple windows sales locations providing only Ice Cream take out service Haagen-Dazs takes a more modernized approach in that they:

 Deal in delectable desserts other than Ice Cream
 Provide fast friendly service with customer service reps. that really seem to care about their patrons
 Provide air-conditioned cushioned indoor seating and open-air outdoor seating to watch the stars by. With seating catering for either a couple or a family\large group

The parlor is well lit but can pass as a romantic hot spot with some cozy areas. As such Haagen-Dazs has become a hangout of the hip young (as sometimes not-so-young) Jamaican crowd attracting even the recently appointed Minister of Education ( Andrew Holness) who happened to walk in whilst I was conduction this review. So just what could be the downside you wonder, well these innovations come at a price, at monetary price that is. Haagen-Dazs charges for its desserts what some restaurants charge for their main courses. This can at first seem somewhat daunting but when you consider that you are getting restaurant quality of service and comfort it take the sting off a little. All in all a great place to take your loved one for a treat.
