Avenue‘s list of the 30 best things to eat and drink in 2023 was recently released, and it’s full of delicious bites to try this summer. While they’re all great options, we officially have our eye on the ube queso ice cream from Abbey’s Creations now that the weather is heating up. This colourful treat features notes of cheddar cheese and ube (a purple yam) and is a must-try the next time you’re craving some ice cream.
