Serendipity 3: Oreo Frozen Hot Chocolate

Josh


Anyone who has frequented or even visited Serendipity once knows of their famous hot chocolate.  My affinity for Oreos led me to this choice in the face of much greater-volume choices like the sundaes, cakes and pies.  I would not say I was disappointed, as it proved to be a refreshing and tasty option on a very hot day.  The only issue for me was it didn't feel all that "desserty."




The massive amount of whipped cream on top was high-quality.  For the most part it tasted like an icy milkshake, which from previous posts you know is not my favorite thing.  I prefer the thicker and more substantial tastes you get in an old fashioned milkshake, and this was not it.  

Serendipity's Oreo Frozen Hot Chocolate deserves our good rating.  It's definitely worth a try, but if you want a dessert at Serendipity that you'll never forget, go with one of the unbelievable looking sundaes!  At $10 a pop for the Oreo Frozen Hot Chocolate versus $12 for a much more substantial sundae, value, mass and substance are hugely against the choice I found myself making.  Don't be an idiot; go big when it comes to desserts!

Potbelly: Oreo Milkshake

Josh


Potbelly makes an assortment of milkshakes and smoothies that can be just what a sweets lover might need as a mid-day snack. Consequently, that was my focus when I stopped in at their Gaithersberg location the other day.




The Oreo shake was quite good and well made. A solid thickness quotient helped to satisfy the most important aspect of any milkshake, not to mention the solid ingredients and large availability of Oreo chunks. While simplistic in nature, the ratio of good ingredients to great taste is essential. On this given day, Potbelly was quite successful, in making a solid and well proportioned shake.  It deserves our great rating.
