About: Mikey Likes It

Mikey Cole is the owner and founder of Mikey Likes it. This pop-culture-inspired ice cream shop names its ice cream creations after various artists and the flavors do not disappoint. As a kid, Mikey learned the art of cooking from his aunt. Her recipe is the base for all of their ice creams today. Mikey Likes It has been covered by The New York Times, O, The Oprah Magazine, Essence and New York Magazine and featured on The Food Network’s The Kitchen. A favorite among locals, their ice cream is ultra creamy and brimming with flavor. What you’re going after at Mikey Likes it is their Mac Daddy (half waffle ice cream sandwich) or the Daddy Mac (whole waffle ice cream sandwich) with your choice of ice cream and flavored waffle. These glorified ice cream sandwiches are a perfect combination of fresh-baked waffles and heavenly flavored ice cream. Texture, flavor and yummy are all working together in beautiful harmony. If you’re just here for ice cream then dive right in. Dough Boy, which is chocolate brownie dough pieces combined with chocolate chip cookie dough is great. In addition, Brady Bunch — banana pudding, Vienna Fingers, and crushed vanilla wafers — is a sure bet for banana lovers like myself. Another popular flavor is the Truffle Shuffle with its party of chocolate chips and mini chocolate covered marshmallows. At Mikey Likes it, if it sounds good it is good. You can’t go wrong.

Review

Appearance

The ice cream is vanilla in color and flavor with golden pieces of wafers and cookies crammed in every bite.

Touch

To the touch, the ice cream is cold (imagine that) but smooth as silk. The cookies and wafers have a nice firm texture.

Smell

It’s ice cream, so not much of smell. But we dream of taking a banana pudding bath when we do the sniff test.

Taste

An instant classic. First bite is smooth and luscious. The flavors of banana and wafer treats are cold and abundant. It’s like getting a spoonful of banana cream pie loaded with cookies. The ice cream is ultra creamy and made with top-notch ingredients. It’s very easy to eat more than you anticipated so be prepared to devour the entire thing.

What to Tell Your Friends

If you like banana pudding or anything remotely close to that, you’ll love this banana ice cream. The cookies and wafers make this ice cream amazing and one of the most popular at Mikey Likes It.
