The collaboration between these two brands, which I genuinely admire, turned out to be underwhelming. The final product was overly sweet, lacking a distinct or robust coffee flavor. In fact, it bore little resemblance to a traditional affogato. A bit hard to believe that anybody that's had an affagato was involved making this product. Hello Jimmy?
On a positive note, the ice cream was creamy and possessed a delightful texture, which was one of the few highlights.Cupping Method:At Van Leeuw's in Chestnut Hill, MA
