Sanders Chocolate and Ice Cream Shoppe Review
Walking through the streets of Birmingham, my eyes fixated on Sanders, an amazing ice cream shoppe. At that time, for some reason, I could not think of anything else but to go in there and have some ice cream. So, after gazing at the shoppe for about fifteen seconds, I finally decided to go in.
As I walked in, I could see some old pictures dating back to the early 1900s, to my left. One of the pictures included Fred Sanders, the founder of Sanders chocolate and ice cream shoppe, himself participating in a community fundraiser. The pictures, in my opinion, added to the rich history of the shoppe.
Sanders offered a variety of flavors, sixteen to be exact, to choose from and to pick one was a tough choice; therefore I decided to go with cookie dough and moose tracks.
Cookie dough is, no doubt my all-time favorite flavor, so I was a little biased in making my decision to pick cookie dough. My mouth got filled with delight as soon as I put the first spoon of cookie dough in my mouth. I could, practically, hear my taste buds thanking me for putting this little piece of heaven in my mouth. Sanders gave a new look to the traditional cookie dough ice cream. With bits of chocolate, and cookie dough, this creamy ice cream was filled with happiness and joy. It was definitely worth spending $3.17 on it.
My taste buds were clearly not satisfied with having just one ice cream out of all the sixteen wonderful flavors. That’s when I decided to order the Moose tracks, which was the same price as the cookie dough. Much like the name, the ice cream itself was full with surprises. When I took the first bite, I thought it was just a simple fudge ice cream but as soon as I took my second bite, I tasted peanuts accompanied with small bits of chocolate and it was, at that time, I realized that this ice cream was filled with small but delectable Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. This definitely took me by surprise but it was a nice surprise which made my trip to this ice cream shoppe worth it.
The taste was great, but the service was even better. As I walked in, I was greeted by one of the employees behind the counter who, by the way, did not even show a bit of frustration on his face when I decided to take my time to choose and sample the flavors. All the employees had a smile on their faces and treated every customer with respect. They even offered their customers complimentary chocolates.
With flexible hours: 12pm to 7pm from Monday through Thursday, 12pm to 8pm from Friday through Saturday, and 12pm to 5pm on Sunday, it’s always the right choice to go to Sanders ice cream shoppe. My unforgettable experience here was one that I would love to live through everyday.

While reading this, I have never craved ice cream so much in my life! I think it is completely fine that you were being biased about choosing cookie dough, you obviously didn’t try all of the flavors they had the first time you went there, so if cookie dough is your favorite and you choose that to see what sander’s was like, I think it is completely fine :). And don’t get me wrong, but cookie dough is one of my all-time favorites as well. It seems to be that you had a wonderful experience for your first time at this ice cream parlor, and I think it is great that you did not mention one negative thing about it. Since you had such a wonderful time, other people reading this review are probably very anxious to go try the ice cream and other sweets they have there, like me. You have a very passionate opinion about this place and you did a wonderful job explaining it!
