the ice cream. The server need not mix them in for you, nor sprinkle them atop your scoop (a la the gummi bears spilled over the extruded TCBY froyo piles of my youth). At Brain Freeze, you can tip the servers without making them sing, thereby avoiding humiliation for all parties. It’s an establishment that is both classy and lowkey. Aside from the flavors, quantity is another choice you’ll have to make. An ample single scoop is $4. Waffle cone is $1 extra, and a second scoop is $2. You can request an ice cream sandwich, made from two of their cookies and a kid’s scoop of ice cream for $4.50. If you go that route, the server advised, “it’s a good idea to be hungry.” You spokanecda.com • October • 2014
