Review: Goodie's - West Addison

Thanks to my dear friend and former roomie Jefe for scouting Goodie's and contributing this blog's first review!

Goodie's is on Route 17 in West Addison*, VT, across from the Addison General Store.
  • Price of a small or regular cone: $1.65
  • Size of a small cone: Huge. Including cone, approx. 10". A medium would be too much, even for me, Jeff says.
  • Flavors: Vanilla, chocolate, twist & one rotating flavor (includes maple, orange, etc.)**
  • Sprinkle Aptitude: I don't know, no one ordered sprinkles while I was there.
  • Other Fare: Full food menu (burgers, fries, veggie burgers...)
  • Creemee Impression: Damn good. The creemee was served very cold so held its form with less than average melting on a very hot day.
  • Other Impressions: Staffed by very nice and helpful high school girls, ample outdoor seating.
*It should be noted that Jeff (Jefe) is a member of The Grift, whose routes are in Addison County, Vermont. Should you visit this fine establishment, the soundtrack most certainly should be Check One, an ode to West Addison (and the venerable deuce-deuce, Route 22A). Barring that, Aerosmith's "My Big Ten Inch" would do just fine.

**Editor's Note: Full disclosure here. I think orange and blackberry should be permanently banned from the creemee flavor rotation. Maple is the only acceptable flavor option aside from vanilla and chocolate, in my opinion. And don't even get me started on those "Flavor Burst" cones that have that toothpaste-like gel swirled all over the cone. Blech! Okay, now you know my biases.
