Read on to see our thoughts and reviews, and yes, I did make a spreadsheet to average out the scores. in PHASE TWO we chose the flavors we would buy again at a grocery store, and in PHASE THREE we tallied everyone’s one favorite. in PHASE ONE we tasted all the flavors together, one by one, and gave each a score out of 5 on three factors: 1. we did two batches (so they wouldn’t melt, duh) and cut them into pieces.

over the course of 5 grocery stores we obtained 11 flavors and invited friends to come over and help us try them all (everything we could get our hands on). THE SCIENTIFIC PROCESS: we set out on a mission. my friend Caitlin and I bonded over the new flavors we were trying and soon had a crAzY thought – what if we….tried ALL of them? a small women + veteran owned company from Richmond, VA (read more here!) Nightingale has been stocking their sandwiches in local restaurants, grocery stores, and corner markets. the ice cream to cookie ratio was just right, and the cookies were so soft and tasty, just the right texture. THE ORIGIN STORY: I first had a Nightingale Ice Cream sandwich at my favorite local pizza spot, Sonny’s.

As a very mature tax-paying adult, I hosted a group of friends to try 11 ice cream sandwiches this weekend, rate them, and rank them instead of just, you know, having a normal dinner (what can I say, i’m fun, have a high tolerance for lactose, and I like supporting local businesses!!)
