Comments on: You’re About to Crave Healdsburg’s First Boston Slush

What I recall with great affection from the East Coast around the Boston area was a regional specialty called Italian Ice- these are like block Popsicles in a cardboard container you eat with a wooden flat spoon to scrap the ice as you eat…amazing real fruit flavor and at the bottom it’s super intense and sweet and rewarding. I’m going to keep an open mind when trying the slush and subs (another regional item that is tough to get right!)

Respectfully, this is not a fair representative of what we get on the East Coast.
It’s a great gimmick and I’ll give out ‘kudos and props’ to Amy all day. Good for her!
These flavors are all so sugary sweet with the only representation of the fruit is the color.
I mean, try it.
Close your eyes and see if you can taste any difference without knowing the name and/or color of the flavor that you’re trying. The aromas/bouquet of each flavor is nonexistent
Candidly, I’d bet that you can’t really tell the difference.
Is this a problem? Not really, the general public will, literally, eat this stuff up.
However, it doesn’t represent the quality of what we brag about ‘out East’.
But, how would you people here on the “left” Coast know?

In reply to Darlene. It's not a slushy. That's pretty clear in the article.

This place is darling! I coaxed my hubby a few relatives to go here for dessert after having dinner elsewhere. The soft-serve flavors we tried (coconut, pistachio and vanilla) were delicious and reminded me of the “custard” found in the east coast states during summer. We tried the mango and orange slush flavors and enjoyed both.

Warning – this stuff is filling. We all were very full when we finished. Next up is trying the loaded bagel or sub sandwich. I think this place is going to be big hit on hot summer days.

In reply to Darlene. You clearly have no concept of the east coast "slush". Can't wait for the east coast to be here in Healdsburg!

So, in other words, Dairy Queen comes to Healdsburg. Who doesn’t know what a “slushy” is? Or am I that old?

Reminds me of Del’s in New England. Great to have this in Sonoma County. Go Pats!!!

Perfect way to wash down a $300 steak.
