#23, Sweet Claude’s, Cheshire.

Two is better than one!

Enjoyed a nice trip to Sweet Claude’s in Chesire this afternoon and believe you me it lived up to the hype. Maureen and I were met by our friend Jacques Gauthier and his cute little pooch Pepper. Jacques and I have been friends for almost 20 years and I have always thought of him as kind of a big brother.

Sweet Claude’s is a really pretty cool place (sorry channeling my inner Jacques). A mom and pop kind of place with homemade ice cream and frozen yogurt. Very modestly priced for large servings. All the standard flavors and then some exotic specials like spiced walnut ice cream with Oreo cookies. Fantastic!

Maureen had chocolate almond fudge yogurt on a homemade wafer cone. Jacques went old school with a root beer float with a rich vanilla ice cream and Stewarts root beer. I on the other hand started with a maple walnut kiddie serving on a wafer cone, which was gigantic by-the-way, and finished off with an espresso coffee milk shake.

Jacques’ float was delicious according to my paleontologist friend while Mighty Mo was a bit underwhelmed by her chocolate fudge yogurt cone. My maple walnut cone was packed with so many walnuts you actually had to chew each bite! Okay the milk shake was over the top, two on one day…what a little piggy Mr. White is…but that too was extremely rich and tasty too.

The moral of the story…if you’re splurging head to Sweet Claude’s for some fresh, sweet ice cream and don’t stop at one treat, go for two!
