Hi Lori!

I think Sebastian’s is one of the best ice cream makers in the country. I’ve tasted a lot of their flavors and I’m never disappointed. I absolutely love, love, love (and did I say love enough)their Butter Pecan! I can eat that ice cream for the rest of my life.

Hey Guys!! you forgot bout Baskin Robbins, my fave ice cream shop! You’re always talking Ben & Jerry and there’s only one thing you should know guys! That we have Sebastian’s ice cream to promote our own Filipino taste although with foreign concept. Look at McDonald’s and it’s Filipino counterpart Jollibee. Sebastian’s is still new in this kind of business, let’s wait soon if they improve in their flavor. Thanks!

my first scoop was in podium.. then tried looking for their outlet along q ave. here it is like buying a contraband.. you have to register with the guard… will be led to a back area.. offer you a seat while waiting for this unkempt woman to buy for a 250 a pint ice cream?

come to think of it… at the price which is just a measly 30 pesos lower than ben and jerry’s.. and with a concept that was derived from the same icecream?… this is just plain copycat!.. nothing else.

There is no genius is copying Ben and Jerry’s. And Lori please, “move over Ben and Jerry’s your successor is here!?????!!!!!! ” What the… you sound too biased for a food critic.

Why don’t you just write about Ben and Jerry’s and not about the ice cream sorbetero copy cat. I have tried Sebastian’s ice cream and no… he is no genius. I hate people who think they’re all that! What a self absorbed guy Sebastian is, and he is waiting for the day that Magnolia copies HIS CREATIONS, ha ha, thats just too full of himself.

Lets give credit to where credit is due… Ben and Jerry are the real geniuses here. if you copy, then you are simply taking credit for other people’s work.

Sebastian’s ice cream tasted awful, particularly their cookie dough. Too expensive too. Would rather buy a P300+ pint of Ben and Jerry’s from S&R than spend P75 for this crap.

i love ben & jerry’s–my fave flavors being coffee heath bar and peanut butter cup. yummm. so glad rustan’s keeps them in stock now.

i have to say, though, i’m glad there’s a local sorbetero with the same passion for chunky ice cream. i always thought being a flavor developer for an ice cream company would be a dream job. so great that a pinoy is living that dream right now.

lori, why not ask ian to develop a flavor using chunks of your famous cheesecake recipe? that ought to be slap-happy gooooooood!
