I’ve tried Eva’s once before, back when it was just a food truck.  I waited in line for about 90 minutes; I think we can all agree that this is an absurd amount of time to wait in line for ice cream.

I thought it was fine, but nothing particularly special, and certainly not worth the intense line (but then, what is?).

I actually enjoyed it much, much more this time (not having to wait in line for the length of a romantic comedy probably helped).

But even aside from that, it was clearly improved.  The baked, bready cone had an irresistible texture — perfectly crispy on the outside, and fluffy as a cloud on the inside.  Aside from the fact that it was impossible to eat without making a mess, it was an absolutely perfect vehicle for ice cream.

And the ice cream was great.  I got the current flavour of the month, peach cobbler: “Peach compote, granola, whipped cream, peach coulis, peach slice.”  And indeed, it basically tastes like peach cobbler a la mode, with the crispy/fluffy cone complimenting it perfectly.

My only real complaint is the price: I got the smaller size, which came up to about ten bucks with tax.  I wish it had been a couple of bucks cheaper — but then it was pretty damn good, so it’s hard to complain too much.
