Kopps

First time I heard the name Kopps bandied about, I couldn't help thinking it was some kind of gansta place. Imagine my surprise when we pulled into the parking lot and were greeted by rows of white cows standing on pedestals like so many Greek gods!

The place is always packed and though the lines are long, they move quickly. You select your flavor, opt for cup or cone, and are handed a frozen custard delight topped with a crispy cookie triangle. Some kind soul taped a Flavor of the Day chart on the dorm hallway door, so you could arrange to join the troops when your flavor comes up.

And what a choice they offer! In addition to the usual chocolate, vanilla and twist, they have confections of delight such as chocolate raspberry cheesecake, burgundy cherry, orangesicle, mint, and peaches and cream, some of my favorites.

They also offer hamburgs and fancier than cone stuff like strawberry sundaes. But the best part about Kopps is that we all go together, we gather in the side hall around a small table or outdoors on nice nights on the amphitheater steps and chat while we lick away. One night we stood there for well over an hour chatting and laughing. The fellowship is the sweetest part of the whole evening. How can you possibly have a tiff with someone who has shared an evening at Kopps with you??

It is yet another great piece of summer at Concordia, one we indulge in frequently. Slurp!
