while there is little doubt that this brand is over-hyped, the taste and variety of icecreamserved here does not live up to the hype. i have had tastier and far more exotic flavours atcream& fudge.
if i also consider gealto places like freezilicious & gelato italiano, haagen dazs is not even in the same league. if you want good old fashioned ice creams, swensen's does it better. even packaged ice creams like london diary do a better job at making ice creams, when compared to haagen dazs.
so, yeah, this place is way over-priced, especially considering their attitude and poorly trained staff. and, yeah, their coffee is pretty average too.
