It is pretty rare to order five flavors of genuinely unique ice cream concoctions. My dad and I did just that at Chill in Akron, Ohio. Located right across the street from Lock 3 ("Akron's Central Park"), Chill is a no-frills spot with at least one option of where to walk and enjoy your scoop. Or grab a cone before an Akron RubberDucks game at nearby Canal Park. Really, if you DEVOte any time to Akron, be sure to hit Chill. Who knows? Maybe you'll run into the Black Keys!
Onto the ice cream...
My dad got Grandma J's Peanut Butter Rice Krispies and Lavender Queen Bee. I got Buttered Popcorn, Dr. Pepper Float (Dr. Pepper sorbet swirled with vanilla ice cream), and Call Me Any Lime (Honey and lime ice cream with a red raspberry swirl), a somewhat sickly colored flavor that was sublime. I wish Chill were closer because all five flavors we tried were delicious. In fact, each of the flavors would be worth getting again were there not so many tempting options to choose from. There were 30+ flavors, including:
- Peach, Please! (peach cheesecake)
- Hazelnut Latte
- Blackberry Crisp
- Sweet and Salty (dark chocolate with pretzels)
- The 9AM French Toast and Bacon (french toast ice cream with maple and bacon)
- Tiger Tail (orange ice cream and black licorice ice cream)
- El Nino Jalapeno (jalapeno corn bread)
- Extra Spicy Mango (mango ice cream steeped with habanero)
Chill also has two locations in nearby Medina. Check 'em out!
