Perfect Truffle chocolate shop now scoops ice cream
The newest scoop from downtown Frederick is that longtime chocolate store Perfect Truffle now offers ice cream by the cone.
Since Cody Marwine took over Perfect Truffle — originally founded in 2005 — four years ago, he has worked to expand its offerings beyond the chocolate confections made at the shop.
Marwine has added shelves and expanded the countertop in the narrow building at 25 N. Market Street to accommodate new offerings.
Most recently, the focus of his expansion has been ice cream. Though the store got an ice cream machine around two years ago and offered 'grab 'n go' cups, Marwine said he has been asked constantly about cones.
Now, he has delivered, and Perfect Truffle offers scooped ice cream with waffle cones, just in time for the summer.
Marwine, who has spent time working in New York's fine dining scene, expressed his preference for simple flavors. One of the best for flavoring chocolate confections, he said, is vanilla.
'We're the place for really good, classic flavors,' Marwine said. 'I'm kinda past the crazy obscure flavors like the ones with pickle in them.'
Perfect Truffle makes its own ice cream, Marwine said.
The Perfect Truffle website lists vanilla, coffee, chocolate chip and cherry chocolate chunk as its flavors.
Sorbets are also available, with the store having offered flavors like raspberry and mango.
The store also offers vegan-friendly oatmilk-based options with flavors like strawberry and chocolate mint.
Customers can also add chocolate, rainbow jimmies, candied cashews, cherries and more as toppings.
Since he has taken over, Perfect Truffle has started offering a multitude of new items including non-alcoholic spirits, marshmallows, craft chocolates, Swedish gummies and, of course, ice cream.
