My 9 year old likes that they have different flavors of ice cream. Our friend likes how you can get a custard swill with sprinkles Yum Lots of options. Strauss organic Support tasty local !
This store was easy to find with lots of parking behind the store, but the surprises remained as I meandered through this visit. This combination, which I had mixed with passion fruit and strawberry flavor, unusually delighted my senses. I sat there in Diamond Park, which is nearby, with a boyish smile. I thoroughly enjoyed my dessert, being brought back to my childhood memories of what a desert should taste and feel like. Most desert stops I've been to enthusiastically share their offerings with large posters and mouth-watering menu images. Flavor Brigade was no different to me until I tasted their Italian Ice. I'll be returning here for more of the excellent service I received from the smiling staff.
Unusual local ice cream shop because they serve custard, sorbet and ice products as well as ice cream. Custard is smoother and more tasty than regular ice cream. Try the 2nd Street or The wookie cookies or the frozen custard cannoli. A small unassuming location off of fruitvale with limited seating outside. It can be difficult to park on fruitvale, but there's a big parking lot for the businesses right behind the building if you go through the alley.
Treasure! Can’t believe I missed this place! Right across from the library. Friendly owner super nice and delicious custard mixed with Italian ices!!
My first time coming here. I walked right by it--it is on the eastern corner of the alley. When I walked in there was already a line of people getting their different forms of ice cream. What I found was that Flavor Brigade has some items that aren't usually available on the West Coast. They have Italian Ice--especially for those that aren't into dairy or gluten-free. They also carry frozen custard. Some people like to have layers of frozen ice and frozen custard. They also carry Organic Ice Cream from Straus Family Creamery. I wasn't super hungry so I tried their Wookie Cookie filled with Chocolate Ice Cream--pretty tasty--which they make in small batches.
