I don’t think I’ve ever been to a buffet that has a soft serve machine
I don’t visit buffets with frequency, but I believe I’ve been to a sizzler, vegas, and reno buffets which all had soft serve. I went to an Asian buffet restaurant that did not offer soft serve - only individually packaged cheap ice cream. the Asian buffet was the least expensive buffet that I have ever visited. It was mostly Chinese food and sushi with a few American classics but I had a good experience there.
Our local buffet was an asian-american buffet, so they had the soft serve station but they also had these deep fried sugared donut holes that were always my goto.
Geez I haven’t been to one in ages, but I always quite liked the chocolate milk station.
Chocolate milk is very similar to chocolate soft serve
I like buffets even though I never feel like I get my money’s worth. My favorite station at a buffet is the soft serve machine and the toppings. I like soft serve more than regular ice cream. I only like chocolate and vanilla soft serve. I like the dessert area’s selection of unlimited toppings from sauces to sprinkles and candies. When I go to one of those serve-yourself frozen yogurt shops, I am always worried how much the price will be when I am adding toppings, so I try to hold back.
A little secret I learned from some students at the college dining hall: fill a cup halfway with soft serve, top with coffee. Give it a shot next time you get the chance! Don’t go with twist on your first go. Commit to chocolate or vanilla first.
That’s a great idea! Adding some chocolate chips could potentially be delicious as well!
