Scoop 88: Sebastian Joe’s Key Lime Ice Cream Review
August 22nd, 2006I don’t remember the last time I had the blissful experience of eating Sebastian Joe’s Ice Cream (I went to their location on Upton Ave).  Honestly,  I don’t think this place has a bad ice cream flavor.  Today I picked up a couple of pints of old favorites to keep in the freezer and try this week, but I also tried a flavor I hadn’t seen there before: Key Lime. This stuff was amazingly sour. I should preface my review by saying that I love sweet and sour flavor combinations. I know not all people do, but I adore them. Sebastian Joe’s Key Lime was a little more sour than I’m used to in a sour ice cream, but it was oh so good. I couldn’t believe how creamy it was. It’s hard to imagine an ice cream that’s rich and creamy and sour, but it exists. This was better than the recipe I made last month. This is defiantly the best key lime ice cream and possibly citrus ice cream I’ve ever had. I also ordered a homemade cone. I was very impressed with it. Other homemade cones I’ve had are usually a little chewy or not sweet enough, but this one was crunchy and just the prefect sweetness. The only thing that I wasn’t used to is that it’s thicker than a normal cone.
