The Cold Pantry's iconic tower of darkness has been the subject of many Instagram posts.
Interestingly, I found the charcoal vanilla soft serve to have a hint of root beer surface at the end of each mouthful, not unlike a reckless passenger who dashes into the train just before the doors close. Not sure if that's just my overactive imagination at work 😜
Pairing very well with it was the waffle - it's the airily light and crunchy kind that I like.
