‘Crazy’ Ice Cream Store Is Getting Ready to Shake Things Up In North Carolina
The "Oat-Rageously Good" Milkshake sits on the counter at The Crazy Mason Milkshake Bar. It's topped with an Oatmeal Cream Pie!
My mouth is watering already. Dessert franchise extraordinaire Crazy Mason Milkshake Bar is getting ready to open a new North Carolina location. We are more than here for it.
The good news for us in the Charlotte, North Carolina area is it will be opening in the Concord Mills area in the fall. Aaron and Monika Leach plan to open the full service ice cream shop at 5965 Thunder Road in Concord according to Channel 9. It will be huge at 3700 square feet.
Ice Cream is my weakness so I will have to practice some self control. It will be difficult. Expect this location to offer 32 flavors of delicious Blue Bell Ice Cream flavors. According to Channel 9,” milkshakes are for sure what you will come for but here are some other options: Crazy Bomb ice cream sandwiches and elaborate sundaes built on sugar pearl waffles, as well as desserts such as cobblers, strawberry shortcake, New York-style cheesecake, a six-layer chocolate cake and cotton candy burrito”. Alrighty then! I am hearing LOTS of variety here. This crazy ice cream store is getting ready to shake things up in North Carolina.
It looks like Crazy Mason Milkshake Bar features not only incredible frozen confectionery delicacies but what tops it all. For example if you order an Oreo cookie milkshake, expect it to be topped with actual cookies. For more details check out the story from Channel 9 right here.
10 Wild Ice Cream Flavors to Try This Season
Summer is officially ice cream season, and July is National Ice Cream Month. Actually, every season is ice cream season, if you ask me. I seriously enjoy scoops of my favorite ice cream whether it’s 90 degrees outside or freezing cold. When it comes to ice cream flavors, it’s hard to beat the classics. Vanilla, chocolate, chocolate-chip and mint chocolate-chip are always favorites. But, why not switch it up and try some really wild ice cream flavors?
As a graduate of Michigan State University, I’ve tried many random ice cream flavors at the MSU Dairy Store. MSU is an agricultural college, so it’s known for the Dairy Store and having delicious ice cream. Honey Lavender and Spartan Swirl come to mind. But, enough about MSU. You don’t have to come to Michigan to get some unique ice cream flavors.
Read on for 10 wild ice cream flavors that you need to try. These flavors are all from major ice cream makers, so they should be fairly easy to find, no matter where you’re located. I’ve also included some non-dairy and gluten-free ice cream options for vegans and those on a gluten-free diet. I’m not vegan, but my favorite ice cream currently is actually non-dairy. Hopefully, there’s enough variety on this list for you to find your new favorite ice cream flavor.
It’s worth noting that some of these ice cream flavors are seasonal and only available in the summer. That said, the majority of the flavors below are currently available year-round.
