Many Bennies exemplifies the cons of New Zealand-style soft serve - Review - Seattle - The Infatuation

"The New Zealand-style soft serve craze has hit Fremont with Many Bennies, a takeout window that churns frozen fruit-infused ice cream in a complicated apparatus. But the entire operation overpromises and under-delivers. For starters, the machine fitted with an auger seems chronically broken. Smooth pockets of soft serve are few and far between, overpowered by frozen fruit bits that didn’t properly blend—there’s nothing that can zap you out of a good ice cream daydream like pebbles of rock-hard mango. And because the contraption gets a little clogged at the end of each serving, the bottom of your cup or cone will likely include leftovers from the person in front of you. You want a photo of fuchsia-tinted blackberry swirls topped with candy googly eyes? Go ahead, you silly goose, but know that you’re getting style over substance." - Aimee Rizzo
