After reading a couple of reviews and knowing I'd be around the area I stopped by Once Upon A Milk Shake today. After arriving and being told that there was a party and they wouldn't serve us, we were happily surprised to be chased down and told that we could get a fix. +1 for nice service. We tried three ice creams/shakes: agent strawberry, spooky mocha, and chocolate truffle castle. The agent strawberry milkshake was fantastic - lush, creamy, deeply strawberry but without the coying sweetness you find in a lesser ice cream. The spooky mocha I both drank and ate - superbly creamy (with what must be a super high milk fat content), rich coffee taste, great texture on the tongue and a nice aftertaste. A real delicious mocha. The chocolate truffle castle I only got one small bit of but it was a deep rich dark chocolate taste that vanished quite quickly. A great ice cream shop. The atmosphere is very casual and clean. Feels like a friendly ice cream shop in white and purple tones. Any negatives? Two. The obvious one is the lack of an Illy espresso to go with my scoop. A taste of coffee goes really well with ice cream in my opinion. Second, variety of flavors. Currently they have 8 tastes at the ready but it would be nice if they had double that all the time. I've recently visited U.D.D.E.R.S. and if I compare the two would rate the ice cream quality here at Once Upon A Mile Shake superior. U.D.D.E.R.S is good for flavor variety (which is a little gimmicky for me) and they serve a good scoop, but not quite as rich as Once Upon A Milk Shake. Both very good but Once Upon A Milk Shake has an edge in my books today.

Postscript: I've been back a second time and still love the place. I had a wonderful chocolate milkshake this time and enjoyed every rich moment.
