Beautiful swirls of happiness!
We are all guilty of getting mad at our favorite fast food restaurant for scrimping on their soft serve ice cream. Doesn’t it suck to see a hole of nothingness in the middle of your cones and cups? Then came the twirl-all-you-can era of convenience store soft serve ice cream and we finally got our vengeance.
In this list we sought out specialty stores all over Metro Manila that are serving this classic not-so-classic treats. Don’t worry, we made sure that they don’t hold back on the servings!
