One of my personal food missions this year is to try all 100+ ice cream flavors at Marianne’s. As of today, we’ve tried around 40 flavors. Our favorites so far (in no particular order):
* HEAVEN (Vanilla ice cream with fudge swirl, peanut butter swirl, and brownies)
* Watermelon sorbet
* Pumpkin cheesecake
* Pralines and cream
* Sam’s Delight (Butter Brickle)
* Cookies and mint
* Kahlua Krunch (Coffee liqueur ice cream with chocolate swirl and candy crunch)
* 1020 (Caramel ice cream with chocolate swirl and chocolate sandwich cookies)
* 2 AM truffle
* Raspberry cheesecake
* Heath
Service is super friendly, you get to try before you buy, and the ice cream is sooo creamy. I love that they’re open so late (11 pm)!

We ordered the Otter 841 & Heaven recommended by the very sweet Arthur! Hubby and I really love the flavors that were mixed together! There are a lot of flavors to choose from so anyone would be able to enjoy it! A great little pit stop after the beach!

Pretty perfect. Not too sweet, the flavors really come through. Excellent texture. We tried the banana (never had banana ice cream before and was very skeptical),chocolate peanut butter cup and the coffee almond fudge. We loved them all. This is where we will come for our ice cream fix from now on.
It’s time for them to open the inside seating again, it’s getting kind of rediculous at this point.
