After having dinner nearby, we were looking for a place to get some dessert.

After having dinner nearby, we were looking for a place to get some dessert. We had thought about going to Smile for some frozen yogurt, but the long line and no seats or place to stand, we decided to move on. Holly Brown had a few people outside waiting for seats, but we decided to try it anyways. We were seated and given menus, once we knew what we wanted, we had to line up to place the orders. No big deal as this is just some higher priced cafe place.
I stood and waited for the ice cream as 2 staff members were busy fulfilling everyone's orders on the cold stone. The ice cream and toppings weren't mixed well together and they looked like they weren't putting much effort in. I figured they are just tired since there were so many people. So once my order is done I just bring it back to my table. We were four people and had all ordered the same size with different toppings. Then we noticed that the size were way off.
As you can see, both were suppose to be the same size, yet one is clearly much more than the other. The ice cream itself as ok, but could have had more of the flavor taste instead of the milk taste. The cone wasn't crunchy, probably due to them being not fresh and/or just stored badly.
One of the staff came by our table while we were eating and mumbled something quickly before leaving. We think that he was telling us to eat faster and leave as there were others waiting. Definitely rude as we were still not done and the table next to us who had sat down earlier were still eating and he didn't say anything. This is what we believed he had said but cannot be sure as it was just quietly mumbled, but based on his hand gestures and facial expression, that is what we concluded. We didn't ask him anything and he just came by.
I would have a hard time coming back here as it is overpriced for what it is, ingredients are not fresh and you just have to test your luck to see if you will be served what you payed for or a lot less. Maybe in the future if I am around at a time when the place isn't packed I'll reconsider, but as of now, I would recommend you to look elsewhere, packed and pricey doesn't equal to good.
题外话/补充资料：
I'm not sure how long Holly Brown has been around, but I believe it is somewhat new. This is basically the copied version of Coldstone but with lesser quality ice cream. I don't think Coldstone is around Hong Kong, but if you are ever in another country that has it and you like Holly Brown, you should try it.
「炒雪糕」的款式多達二十款，選了 Rock on Vanilla ($50 / small size)，即是花生醬、杏仁、brownie 一起炒雲尼拿雪糕。這裡的雪糕跟 Gelare 一樣，都是零空氣的低脂雪糕，香滑實淨。幾款配料炒在一起，黏黏甜甜，真的有夠邪惡啊 墊底的窩夫餅乾非常脆口，可惜比較硬身，好不容易才可把它鑿穿。
