No matter where you’re at in the world, the
name “Haagen-Dazs” has the same ring: smooth, creamy
rich ice cream, perfect for a hot day at the beach in
the Bahamas.
Believe it or not,
the
Village Creamery serves up more of this delightful
blend at night than it does in the
daytime.
Located in the
Atlantis Marina Waterfront near Starbucks, the
Village Creamery isn’t exactly within a short
distance from the beach. And your timing for
getting in line must be impeccable.
At night, the Village Creamery is the first
eatery to host an endlessly long line out the
door. As
soon as the dinner hour is up, you’ll find yourself
switching feet with impatience behind crying babies,
crazy mothers, irresponsible fathers, and little rug
rats – all of whom decided to show up conveniently
before you
did. But
if you’ve got the patience to tough it out, the ice
cream’s certainly worth the wait.
The Village
Creamery serves up 10-15 different flavors of ice
cream at a time, depending on the season. Traditional
favorites like rich chocolate and creamy vanilla
share the stage with chocolate-chocolate chip, rum
raisin, caramel cone, dulce de leche, crème brulee,
and rocky road.
Pile on your
favorite toppings and serve these delights in an
over-sized waffle cone, and you’ve got a splendid
treat to go. You’re welcome to
choose from a variety of sundaes, milkshakes, ice
cream floats, and sorbets if you’re in the mood for
sipping serenely.
But like
everything else at Atlantis, you’ll pay dearly for
any cold goodie; simple arrangements like a one-scoop
ice cream in a dish can cost as much as $4.00, and
the prices go up from there.
