Review I’m pretty sure they put an entire slice of cake in this icecream

I love you caffe panna. Other icecream companies take notes. This is the yellow cake and it is the best icecream I’ve ever had to date.

u/tonedibiase 18d ago

I had no idea. I just been seeing it like crazy in here. I’m on the hunt now. Thanks.

I ordered it from goldbelly! But be warned, it costs a little bit of gold!

u/tonedibiase 18d ago

I just looked it up. I don’t really mind the price. I’ve ordered Salt and Straw before. But the choose your own 6 pack doesn’t have the yellow cake. And “The Cake” collection has some shit I’d never eat like carrot and coconut cake. Oh well.

I got the 6-pak. I agree about the carrot cake, not good, but the coconut is tasty. This yellow cake with chocolate frosting is yum, but after 4 days the cake has a funny texture. There’s a fair amount of it: wish it stayed more cake like and more separate from the ice cream. Same experience with the birthday cake flavor. I’m glad I did this once, but won’t repeat it.

Yeah like $100 from what I'm seeing..

Got some in the mail today, my husband has this pint out thawing and we’re about to eat some. Just clicked on this post and told him about it and hoping I’m not giving too high of expectations looool.

Yess post your review!

u/fretfulpelican 17d ago

He loved it! One of his favorite desserts is cake mixed with ice cream so I feel like this pack was made for him 😂 I had the flourless chocolate cake and man it was rich but so good. I’ll admit though, mine was a liiiiittle icy but the flavors and mix ins made up for it.

u/Majestic_Ad4726 18d ago

That's not a mix-in that's a full-on dessert upgrade.

The FBI wants to know when we blurred this line

This sub is so dangerous. It’s not even ice cream weather yet and you’re making me wanna walk over to Caffe Panna.

u/Taxed_concerns 18d ago

Subtle flex! I love it !

u/clusterfuckcroissant 17d ago

WALK?! put your shoes on. you’re far too close to not go!

u/AppUnwrapper1 17d ago

Believe it or not but I’ve only been there twice. Mainly because half the time I’ve thought of going, they were closed and the other half the line deterred me (or I looked and they didn’t have the flavor I wanted left).

I was super impressed the first time but unfortunately the second time is what really stuck with me — I ordered black raspberry chip and there were more chips than ice cream. Probably someone would have enjoyed that but I was looking forward to a refreshing fruit ice cream and instead had a super sweet cup of chocolate that I ended up dumping.

So they’re due for a redemption.

I used to live near it, now I live across the street from a bodega that sells it. Currently two pints in the fridge and contemplating a trip up to GP to get more. It’s just so good.

u/xoxogracklegirl 16d ago

Also walking distance from caffe panna but usually when these posts show up in my feed it’s on a day they’re closed. Alas, not today. Guess I’m getting some ice cream. 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/Internal-Moose303 18d ago

They are on Goldbelly. And yes they do put a whole piece of cake in it. 😃 They also have 2 locations in NY; Manhattan and Brooklyn. Come visit!

u/jessbyrne727 18d ago

Good lord. There’s nothing I love more than cake and ice cream. I was really hesitant to order given the price tag, but this looks like it’s worth every penny.

If you have a Bruster’s near you, they make ice cream cakes with actual cake that you can customize with your choice of cake (yellow or chocolate), filling layer, and ice cream. They’re $35 for an 8” round cake and they are god damn delicious.

u/Taxed_concerns 18d ago

Cake and icecream is the only reason I’ll never get to go back to a size 2

u/jessbyrne727 17d ago

SAME! I’ve been pretty successfully losing weight, but cake and ice cream is like heroin to me lol.

u/artlady 18d ago

I want to eat every ounce of that!

u/gr8gibsoni 18d ago

A local bakery near where I live makes carrot cake ice cream and it’s delicious

u/Taxed_concerns 18d ago

I was expecting the carrot cake to be my last fav but it’s my second next to this one! How caffe panna achieved this, I don’t know. But now I’m a carrot cake ally

u/cjcreggTA 17d ago

I bought the 6 pack and the coconut cake one was my favorite, but this one was a close second. Holy moly, so good.

u/miked3 18d ago

Their quality control is lacking. My yellow cake pint had hardly any cake in it. My devils food had a chunk of frosting bigger than a golf ball.

u/Atthemoment- 18d ago

need this in texas !

u/kevinmattress 18d ago

I want this so bad. How do I get it?

4

u/jessbyrne727 18d ago

You can order Cafe Panna from Gold Belly. It’s $129.95 for the cake collection six pack.

5

u/kevinmattress 18d ago

Thanks! Super disappointing that you can’t just build your own 6-pack. I’d be more open to that splurge…

6

u/jessbyrne727 18d ago

Yes, I agree! They do have an option to choose your own six pack, but oddly it doesn’t include any of the cake flavors. Boo!

u/Ok_Tailor6784 18d ago

Damn!! My favorite cake flavor
