Foodview: Buckeye Frescante

Looking like a malt from the 1950s, the Buckeye Frescante, or any frescante here, is the ideal treat for you and your date to split after the game. Seriously, it's huge.

Thick whipped cream (made in the cafe) mounded on top with rich chocolate syrup drizzled over it is just the surface of this dessert. Beyond the crown of froth, foam, cream, and syrup is a deep well of chocolaty and peanut buttery taste. The ingredients are blended into a texture akin to a thick and hearty milkshake with a tinge of coffee evident in every sip. If you like coffee, you'll like the frescante. If you tolerate coffee, you'll like this frescante still because of its richness in other flavors. You could always ask them to make it without the coffee.

Very filling. I couldn't finish it actually! Looks can be deceiving though. The frescante in a glass cup looks beast compared to its little brother, the frescante in a to-go cup, but did you know that there's actually the same quantity of frescante in both? I heard the barristas talking about the way something looks being a psychological influencer on people. Most customers, when given their frescante in a glass, won't be able to finish it, but if they are given it in plastic, they drink it down like a glass of water. Now isn't that interesting?
