点评:This place is absolutely phenomenal! The Ice Cream Factory is more than just a simple ice cream parlour. They offer a vast selection of sweet treats, confectioneries, pastries, snacks and a few savoury items too. I've known about The Ice Cream Factory for about 10 years, but have only had the pleasure of visiting it on one occasion. This I had to change, so on my most recent trip to Lagos, I was hell bent on eating their ice cream again. I remember it being really good from all those years ago.
The Ice Cream Factory has 4 branches spread throughout Lagos. This one, (on Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1) occupies the same building as Yin Yang Express- a fast food Chinese joint. Got to try that as well. You can read my seperate review of that. Yin Yang is located on the first floor, while The Ice Cream Factory is on the ground level. Don't know whether they are part of a franchise, or have some type of partnership. Having visited both places, I must say that the building's finishing is most impressive.👌🏽
It's worth mentioning that The Ice Cream Factory is a drop-dead gorgeous space! 😍 It had a Pop Art-esque vibe to it. Eye-catching, vibrant colors of mostly fuschia pink, white, black, with splashes of yellow were used for the interior. All the chairs and tables were pure white, plus a few plush, leather arm chairs against a wall. These were black. Creative, 'gravity-defying' portraits of ice cream were rife, and a faux brick wall to one corner was really cool. Kindly refer to my posted pictures of The Ice Cream Factory's extremely attractive 'environs'. 🤩
My favourite part about The Ice Cream Factory's interior was that they had an entire wall- (just by the entrance door), with humorous ice cream and sweet treats' sayings and proverbs written in black against a white background/wall. Check out my pictures of it. There were loads of hilarious statements, but these were some of my favourite: "Life Is Like Ice Cream, Enjoy Before It Melts", "Dessert Is Always An Important Part Of A Balanced Diet", "Ice Cream Is The Answer, Who Cares What The Question Is", "There Is No We In Cake", "Chocolate Comes From Cocoa, Which Is A Tree, That Makes It A Plant; Chocolate Is Salad" and "Dessert Is Like A Feel-Good Song, The Best Ones Make You Dance". I took a good while reading them before I ordered my ice cream! 😆 So, so fun and unique! 😎
Now to The Ice Cream Factory's 'stellar' menu! As I mentioned earlier, the offerings here are quite extensive. They had an astounding 35 flavors! 😳 Didn't expect them to have that many, so I was pleasantly surprised. There were 32 flavors on their Instagram page. The FLAVOUR SELECTION(S) are listed alphabetically. They are AMARENA, BELGIAN CHOCOLATE, BLONDE CARAMEL SWIRL, BUTTER PECAN, CAPPUCCINO CHIP, CARAMEL COOKIE CRUMBLE, CHOC. CHIP COOKIE DOUGH, CHOCOLATE CREAM, CHOCOLATE PUFFS, CHOCOLATE WAFER CHIP, CHOCOLATE & WHISKY CREAM, COOKIES CREAM, COOKIES & CREAM INTENSE, DULCE DE LECHE (CARAMEL SWIRLS),
They also have IRISH CREAM, LEMON COOKIE, MADAGASCAN VANILLA, MANGO & COCONUT, MIDNIGHT EXPRESS, NUTELLA CRUNCH, NUTTY CARAMEL, PISTACHIO & ALMOND, RED VELVET CHEESECAKE, SALTED CARAMEL, SPECULICIOUS, STRACCIATELLA (CHOCOLATE CHIP), STRAWBERRY, STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE, STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CRUMBLE, SWEET CREAM, TIRAMISU CRUNCH, VANILLA CHOCOLATE BROWNIE, WHITE CHOCOLATE, WHITE CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY SWIRL and WHITE STRACCIATELLA! Wow, just typing that made my mouth water! 🤤 So, as you can see, The Ice Cream Factory most definitely has an incredible selection of spectacular flavors, and as far as I could see, every single flavour I listed was available. There's no way on God's green earth that anyone wouldn't find a flavour that 'tickles their tastebuds' from this rich selection!
Each scoop was a decent 1,500 Naira. 7 TOPPINGS were priced at an additional 500 Naira. They had CARAMEL SAUCE, CHOCOLATE SAUCE, MILK CHOCOLATE SHAVINGS, WAFFLE CONE PIECES, WHIPPED CREAM, WHITE CHOCOLATE SHAVINGS and STRAWBERRY SAUCE. I saw 10 Toppings on their Instagram menu. The Ice Cream Factory had 4 'FACTORY CREATIONS' of 'Build Your Sundae' using a 2 Step system, all with a different price tag. There was a fifth STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE option on the in store menu, as opposed to the take-away pamphlet. 4 DESSERT COMBINATIONS featured APPLE CRUMBLE, BUTTER & SUGAR CREPE, LARGE WAFFLE and STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING. For the CAKE SELECTIONS, there were 6 types- CARROT CAKE, CHOCOLATE CREAM CAKE, MADEIRA CAKE SLICE, NEW YORK CHEESECAKE, RED VELVET and STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE.
The Ice Cream Factory's Savoury items were in the form of 4 FACTORY GRILLED PANINI MELTS. There was CHEESE & MUSHROOM- (VEGETARIAN), CHICKEN SALAD, FACTORY CLUB and HAM & CHEESE MELT. They had 14 BAKED GOODS; everything from MUFFINS (8 kinds), to COOKIES (2 kinds), to MADEIRA CAKE SLICE/LOAF and BELGIAN CHOCOLATE BROWNIE. In addition to all these sinfully wondrous delicacies, The Ice Cream Factory also listed 6 EXTRAS/SIDES, (accompaniments to their Grilled Panini Melts), 3 MILKSHAKES, 6 COLD BEVERAGES and HOT BEVERAGES. 1.2 Litre Tubs were available for pre-order. As you can see, there's something for everyone here at The Ice Cream Factory.
I feel that this 'copious' review of mine speaks volumes about The Ice Cream Factory! It's like 'enough said' about this phenomenal place already! With me being soooo spoilt for choice, I finally decided on going for one scoop each of the SALTED CARAMEL and SPECULICIOUS flavors on a cone. Something about the 'esses' today just spoke to me! 😄 Just as I anticipated, both flavours were simply delicious; super creamy, smooth, sweet, and dense! 😋 It was just like an ice cream ought to be. Both were absolutely, 100% pure perfection! 😋👌🏽 The only tiny issue I had was that the cone was a bit dense and thick towards the base. The upper part was fine though, crispy, well baked and crunchy.
I have to mention the service at The Ice Cream Factory. I was served by JANET and SUCCESS. These two delightful ladies were just as sweet as the ice cream they were 'scooping up' at The Ice Cream Factory! 🥰 Janet was an absolute gem; so warm, with an amazing personality. Success was quite the professional- very friendly and helpful. Ice Cream Factory deserve top marks and a big kudos for assembling such fantastic staffers. Their service was unparalleled, and I felt like having my ice cream in the shop, just to continue interacting with them. Keep up the great job my ' Sweet Sistaz'! 👊🏼💪🏽 I seriously commend The Ice Cream Factory on this because good, solid service is a bit hard to come by in Nigeria 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Management should take note of the excellent service that Janet and Success are providing and perhaps reward them accordingly?!?! They are a valuable asset to this sublime establishment.
After the spectacular experience I had on this recent visit to The Ice Cream Factory, it now ranks way up there- (with Hans & René), as my favorite and/or the best ice cream in Lagos as far as I'm concerned! 🍦👍🏽🍧👌🏽🍨 I read somewhere that Ice Factory serves 'Premium Ice Cream'..... indeed; I couldn't agree more! The ice cream here is high quality, top-notch and world class, and I really enjoyed my experience at The Ice Cream Factory, and cannot wait to return. That way, I'd get to try all those other treats that look and sound so divine! 😋 In fact, I think I'm 'on the fence', as to which ice cream joint is the best in Lagos! 🤔 Now I'm not so sure it's the one I used to think! You know.....that other one! 😄 Would like to give another shout out to 'JUBILANT' JANET and 'SENSATIONAL' SUCCESS! Thanks so much, y'all were great! 🤗
The only reason why I didn't rate them perfectly was because of the disapointment with my cone. For me, the experience just has to be flawless, but it damn near was! 😁 So do endeavour to check out The Ice Cream Factory. 🙏🏼 It's such a bright, attractive spot, with an aesthetically pleasing ambiance, fabulous service, and your one-stop, ultimate destination for 'premium', mind-blowinginly delicious ice cream, and then some! The ice cream here can 'hold it's own' against any Gelateria or high-end Italian style ice cream in the world! I kid you not! Trust me....it's that good! 😉 The Ice Cream Factory has definitely 'got it going on'! This place is 'da bomb', and you will surely find something that appeals to you. Make sure you visit them in any of their branches; it's a decision that you will not regret it, I assure you! Highly, highly, highly recommended!!! 🍨😋🍦😋🍧😋
翻译:这个地方绝对是非凡的!冰淇淋工厂不仅仅是一家简单的冰淇淋店。他们提供多种甜食、糖果、糕点、小吃和一些咸味食品。我知道冰淇淋工厂大约有 10 年了,但只有幸参观过一次。我必须改变这一点,所以在我最近去拉各斯的旅行中,我一心想再次吃他们的冰淇淋。我记得很多年前它真的很好。
冰淇淋工厂有 4 家分店,遍布拉各斯各地。这家店(位于金钟路,Lekki 一期)与中式快餐店 Yin Yang Express 位于同一栋大楼内。也得尝试一下。你可以阅读我对此的单独评论。 Yin Yang 位于一楼,The Ice Cream Factory 位于底层。不知道他们是否是特许经营的一部分,或者有某种类型的合作伙伴关系。参观过这两个地方后,我必须说建筑的装修效果最令人印象深刻。👌🏽
值得一提的是,冰淇淋工厂是一个非常华丽的空间! 😍 它有一种波普艺术风格的氛围。内饰采用了引人注目、充满活力的颜色,主要是紫粉色、白色、黑色,并点缀着黄色。所有的椅子和桌子都是纯白色的,还有一些靠墙的毛绒皮革扶手椅。这些是黑色的。创意十足、“反重力”的冰淇淋肖像随处可见,角落里的人造砖墙真的很酷。请参阅我发布的冰淇淋工厂极具吸引力的“环境”照片。 🤩
关于冰淇淋工厂的内部,我最喜欢的部分是他们有一整面墙(就在入口门旁边),在白色背景/墙壁上用黑色写着幽默的冰淇淋和甜点的谚语和谚语。看看我的照片。有很多搞笑的说法,但这些是我最喜欢的一些:“生活就像冰淇淋,在它融化之前享受它”,“甜点始终是均衡饮食的重要组成部分”,“冰淇淋就是答案,谁在乎呢”问题是什么”、“蛋糕里没有我们”、“巧克力来自可可,可可是一棵树,它使它成为一种植物;巧克力是沙拉”和“甜点就像一首感觉良好的歌曲,最好的那些”让你跳舞”。在我点冰淇淋之前,我花了很长时间阅读它们! 😆 所以,如此有趣且独特! 😎
现在来看看冰淇淋工厂的“明星”菜单吧!正如我之前提到的,这里的产品非常广泛。他们有令人惊叹的 35 种口味! 😳没想到他们有这么多,所以我很惊喜。他们的 Instagram 页面上有 32 种口味。口味选择按字母顺序列出。它们是 AMARENA、比利时巧克力、金色焦糖漩涡、黄油山核桃、卡布奇诺片、焦糖饼干碎、巧克力。饼干面团、巧克力奶油、巧克力泡芙、巧克力威化片、巧克力和威士忌奶油、奶油饼干、浓烈饼干和奶油、牛奶牛奶(焦糖漩涡)、
他们还有爱尔兰奶油、柠檬饼干、马达加斯加香草、芒果和椰子、午夜快车、花生酱脆饼、坚果焦糖、开心果和杏仁、红丝绒芝士蛋糕、咸焦糖、SPECULICIOUS、STRACCIATELLA(巧克力片)、草莓、草莓芝士蛋糕、草莓脆饼碎、甜奶油、提拉米苏脆饼、香草巧克力布朗尼、白巧克力、白巧克力草莓漩涡和白巧克力!哇,光是打字就让我流口水了! 🤤 所以,正如你所看到的,冰淇淋工厂绝对有令人难以置信的精选口味,而且据我所知,我列出的每种口味都可用。在上帝的绿色地球上,任何人都可以从如此丰富的选择中找到一种“刺激味蕾”的味道!
每勺价值 1,500 奈拉。 7 个配料的售价额外为 500 奈拉。他们有焦糖酱、巧克力酱、牛奶巧克力屑、华夫饼锥片、鲜奶油、白巧克力屑和草莓酱。我在他们的 Instagram 菜单上看到了 10 种配料。冰淇淋工厂有 4 个“工厂创作”的“构建你的圣代”,使用 2 步骤系统,所有产品都有不同的价格标签。店内菜单上还有第五种草莓酥饼选项,而不是外卖小册子。 4 种甜点组合,包括苹果酥、黄油和糖薄饼、大华夫饼和太妃糖布丁。蛋糕选择方面,共有6种类型:胡萝卜蛋糕、巧克力奶油蛋糕、马德拉蛋糕片、纽约芝士蛋糕、红丝绒蛋糕和草莓芝士蛋糕。
冰淇淋工厂的咸味食品采用 4 份工厂烤帕尼尼融化物的形式。有奶酪和蘑菇(素食)、鸡肉沙拉、工厂俱乐部和火腿和奶酪融化。他们有 14 种烘焙食品;从松饼(8 种)到饼干(2 种),再到马德拉蛋糕片/面包和比利时巧克力布朗尼,应有尽有。 除了所有这些令人惊叹的美味佳肴外,冰淇淋工厂还列出了 6 种额外/配菜(搭配烤帕尼尼融化)、3 种奶昔、6 种冷饮和热饮。 1.2 升浴缸可供预订。正如您所看到的,冰淇淋工厂可以满足每个人的需求。
我觉得我的这篇“丰富”评论充分说明了冰淇淋工厂!关于这个非凡的地方,就像“说得够多了”!由于我的选择太多了,我最终决定在甜筒上各取一勺咸焦糖和特殊口味。今天关于“esses”的一些事情刚刚对我说话了! 😄 正如我预料的那样,两种口味都非常美味;超级奶油,光滑,甜,浓! 😋 这就像冰淇淋应该有的样子。两者都绝对是100%纯粹的完美! 😋👌🏽 我遇到的唯一的小问题是圆锥体的底部有点密集和厚。上半部分还不错,酥脆,烤得很好,松脆。
不得不提的是The Ice Cream Factory的服务。珍妮特和成功为我服务。这两位可爱的女士就像她们在冰淇淋工厂“舀”的冰淇淋一样甜蜜! 🥰 珍妮特绝对是一颗宝石;如此温暖,具有惊人的个性。成功是相当专业的——非常友好和乐于助人。冰淇淋工厂拥有如此优秀的员工,值得获得最高评价和巨大荣誉。他们的服务是无与伦比的,我想在店里吃冰淇淋,只是为了继续与他们互动。继续努力,我的“甜蜜西斯塔兹”! 👊🏼💪🏽 我在此严重赞扬冰淇淋工厂,因为在尼日利亚很难获得良好、可靠的服务👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 管理层应该注意到 Janet 和 Success 提供的优质服务,也许还会奖励他们相应地?!?!他们是这个崇高建筑的宝贵资产。
在我最近参观冰淇淋工厂的壮观经历之后,它现在排名很高 - (与 Hans & René),就我而言,它是我最喜欢的和/或拉各斯最好的冰淇淋! 🍦👍🏽🍧👌🏽🍨 我在某处读到过,冰工厂供应“高级冰淇淋”......确实;我完全同意!这里的冰淇淋质量上乘,是一流的,是世界一流的,我真的很喜欢在冰淇淋工厂的经历,迫不及待地想再来。这样,我就可以尝试所有其他看起来和听起来都那么神圣的美食了! 😋 事实上,我想我对哪家冰淇淋店是拉各斯最好的冰淇淋店持观望态度! 🤔 现在我不太确定这是否是我以前所想的!你知道……还有另外一个! 😄 我想再次为“欢欣鼓舞”的珍妮特和“轰动的”成功喝彩!非常感谢,你们都很棒! 🤗
我没有完美评价它们的唯一原因是因为对我的锥体感到失望。对我来说,这种体验必须是完美的,但它几乎就是完美的! 😁 所以一定要去看看冰淇淋工厂。 🙏🏼 这是一个如此明亮、有吸引力的地方,拥有令人愉悦的氛围、优质的服务,以及您一站式、终极的“高级”目的地、令人兴奋的美味冰淇淋等等!这里的冰淇淋可以与世界上任何冰淇淋店或高端意式冰淇淋相媲美!我没有骗你!相信我……那就太好了! 😉 冰淇淋工厂绝对“成功了”!这个地方是“大炸弹”,您一定会找到吸引您的东西。请务必前往他们的任何分行拜访他们;这是一个你不会后悔的决定,我向你保证!强烈、强烈、强烈推荐!!! 🍨😋🍦😋🍧😋
