When it comes to soft serve ice cream, some fans say that the best is at Dairy Freeze in Boston. Others cite Christy’s Tasty Queen in Kansas City.

Without going to those establishments or any others, we opine that the best soft serve ice cream is at Godiva Chocolatier boutiques.

Godiva has launched a premium soft serve ice cream, and it is spectacular.

First, chose your flavor: Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate Vanilla Bean or Swirl. The softserve is made with Godiva chocolate, which makes it more intensely, more deliciously flavored right off the bat.

Godiva designed custom soft serve machines to deliver the densest, creamiest mouthfeel.

And it gets better: There are crunchy Belgian waffle cones. Choose from plain, dipped in either milk or dark chocolate, or our favorite, dark chocolate with praline almonds (shown in the photo).

Don’t like cones? You can have your softserve in a five ounce cup.

We had the opportunity to try all three flavors recently at the Godiva boutique in Rockefeller Center (52 West 50th Street, between 5th & 6th Avenues). What happiness!

And it doesn’t break the calorie bank. A large waffle cone with softserve is 380 calories in a plain cone, 470 in the almond praline cone. It’s worth every calorie.

Bring A Friend To Happy Hour

During Godiva Happy Hour, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily, the second cone is half price.

We also noted on the company website that there are punch cards for the soft serve and the Trufflelata shake: Buy six in any combination, the next one’s free.

What better way to celebrate National Ice Cream Month than with a great new soft serve ice cream?

Go for the Godiva, ladies and gents! Go often!
