I tried three different flavours on my visit and first up was one of Ice Cream Union's seasonal offerings - yoghurt and berries. Speaking with staff at the parlour, they said this was quickly becoming a customer favorite - so of course I had to try it. Whilst I personally find yoghurt and berries a bit boring, it was interesting to try as an ice cream.
