Ice cream Heaven, Softserve Society, Boxpark , Shoreditch.
I'm not big on ice cream but the Softserve Society in Shoreditch has definitely got me eating my words. This place is the BOMB, it's minimalistic clean white decor and simple seating arrangements gives a no fuss feel to this establishment. Permanently mobbed this little gem based in a unit on the ground floor of Box Park attracts a global customer base all waiting to try their charcoal ice cream. Yes, you heard me right I said charcoal. I was dubious when I was told that I would be consuming a charcoal based food, I ignorantly thought it would taste like grainy dirt, how wrong was I.
It was the most refreshing, smooth, delicate, moreish ice cream I had ever tasted. It didn't stop their, you have a choice of toppings to which I chose granola and crushed nuts. It was simply delectable, leaving a light pleasant after taste in your mouth. Many times after eating ice cream due to the intense flavour and high sweetness, I felt the need to drink a large glass of water to reduce the sugary after taste, but not with this ice cream cone.
This visually picturesque charcoal coconut ice cream cone with granola and crushed nuts toppings was a delight to recieve, so much so that the first thing you must do is take a picture ,as it is a memory that you have to capture and share with those who have not yet had the pleasure to experience it with you. It has to be noted that cost wise it's not unreasonable, a soft serve sundae comes in at at just under £6, a freakshake under £9 and an ice cream cone £3.50, so it's not a assault on your purse.
The Softserve Society is a fun loving softserve dessert bar specialising in creating and serving delightful premium soft serve ice cream , flavours and treats. You can choose between sundaes, freakshakes, ice cream cones and beverages. Some of awesome concoctions include Matcha Madness sundae (Matcha ice cream, red bean paste, oreos, pocky and rice cakes), Where's my head sundae ( vanilla ice cream, honeycomb chunks, waffle and granola), Peanut butter freakshake (peanut butter, pretzels, muffin, popcorn, and peanut) Matcha freakshake ( matcha shake, cookie, pocky, puff pastry, pandan chiffon cake).
For those of you who don't know what soft serve ice cream is, it is a type of ice cream that is soft and less dense than regular ice cream due to the introduction of air during the freezing process, giving it a smooth texture on the palate. Softserve Society work off of 3 base ice creams being the charcoal coconut, matcha green tea and vanilla. What I love about this place is the combination between the healthy and the indulgent. You have the choice to go all out and indulge if you're in the mood or if you want to maintain a level of health and reduced guilt in your dessert you also have that option.
I'm sorry but I totally love this place and their take on ice cream based desserts. So let's get down to the night gritty rating. Taste and food quality 4.8 out of 5, service 4 out of 5, ambience and vibe 4.5 out of 5, cost 4.4 out of 5.
