Review 

The drink was delicious! If you don’t like coffee, then you definitely won’t be a fan, but if you do (even just a little bit) this drink is sure to be a hit. The sweetest of ice cream mixes wonderfully with the bitterness of the coffee, not to mention the different temperatures create the absolute perfect mixture.
