It was about 11PM and we were pretty bored, so we decided to take a stroll around town for some ice cream sandwiches. When we first arrived at Diddy Riese, there was a huge line of people out the door. It didn’t take long for us to finally get into the store and order something because the service was pretty fast.
Everything on their menu was extremely cheap! You could get anything from one cookie($0.35), 3 cookies($1.00), to a dozen cookies($3.75), and a scoop of ice cream($1.00) or even 2 scoops of ice cream($1.50), if you feel like splurging! They have many different kinds of cookies like the chocolate chip, oatmeal raisen, macadamia nuts & white chocolate, white chocolate, and sugar cookie. Their cookies are made fresh and they use only all natural ingredients. they use dreyers ice cream and they have about 10-12 different flavors.
I got an ice cream sandwich($1.25) and you get to choose two cookies and your ice cream flavor. I didn’t feel like getting anything too crazy, so I stuck with two chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream. The cookies were really soft and you could tell they were fresh. The ice cream wasn’t too cold, so it went really well with the soft cookies YUM! The others were more daring than I was and they chose mixtures like mint chocolate chip ice cream in between a sugar cookie and a white chocolate macadamia cookie. So if you ever have late night cravings for something sweet, head to Diddy Riese because they stop selling at 1AM.

Well, the price went up a whole 25%! Although that’s only $1.25 now…. If you were a poor college student, you eat one less cookie for every 5. It adds up!
