Britt Buys Black --Sweets Edition
The support for Black-owned businesses continue! This time we’re talking desserts!! I love food, period. However, I do have a soft spot for sweets. Cookies, cakes, pies, donuts—you name it! This time we’re focusing on sweets that cool you down in this summer heat. Let me take to two of my favorite new spots.
Gordon’s
Milkshakes
This is the “Cookie Monster”, and yes it’s as good as it looks.
First up is Gordon’s Milkshakes. I would go every week if it didn’t completely defeat my health goals for the year. Here you can not only get milkshakes, but also scoops of ice cream, cobbler, beignets, and so many more delicacies. There are also vegan options and CBD add-ins. If you’re around Mass Ave. I highly recommend you stop by.
TeeJays Sweet
Tooth
My Donut Ice Cream Sandwich:
- Two scoops of their blackberry cheescake
ice cream
- Nilla wafers crumbled
If Gordon’s menu doesn’t have enough novelty to tickle your fancy have no fear. Check out TeeJay’s Sweet Tooth on the Westside! The line is long, but once you get to the drive-up menu you it all starts to make sense. The true pièce de résistance is the donut ice cream sandwich. Yes, you heard that correctly. On warm glazed donut “buns” you can choose your two scoops and a topping for the wonderful filling. Their other specialty treat is the Fruity Pebble Treat sandwich.
So those are my two feature this go around. Here are some tips. Be prepared to wait. (Remember, you’re buying novelty ice cream in the summer time during a pandemic.) Scope out the menu beforehand so that you won’t have decision paralysis at the register. Finally, make sure you tip!
Stay Sweet!
