I’m extremely picky about ice cream, like vanilla or chocolate only picky. That said… this place has me in a chokehold. It’s the only brand that’s ever convinced me to branch out, and I’m not mad about it. The Earl Grey flavor? Elite and I’m obsessed. Pure ice-cream joy. I will never say no if someone suggests we come here. I’ll thank my lucky stars I don’t live near one. 😅🥰
The location is aesthetically pleasing, walkable and surrounded by shopping, other eateries and outdoor seating. I was impressed and pleasantly surprised by all the vegan options of ice cream and toppings. They even have a vegan cone. I tried several flavors: strawberry matcha, strawberry shortcake, chocolate brownie and cookies and cream. All were delish and the scoop sizes were plentiful! The young lady assisting me was both kind and helpful. Parking is scarce but they validate parking for the parking garage.
Came here around 9pm on a Saturday night after having dinner next door. The space itself is cheerful, bright and smells absolutely phenomenal. There was no one else there when we arrived and only one other group there when we left. Service was incredibly friendly and they happily let us try as many flavors as we wanted. Unfortunately this is where the positive things I have to say come to an end. We did not enjoy the ice cream. Everyone found it to be overly sweet. The hazelnut special had whole nuts inside which was unappetizing. Disappointing because it's in a great location but just wasn't a fan.
Who doesn’t love a trip to the ice cream shop? I stumbled upon this place as it was in the area while on a Sunday shopping escapade, and so happy I did! The place is small, but immediately gives a feel of childlike happiness with its bright colors. It’s sure to bring a smile! 😃 What I like most about this ice cream parlor was its array of flavors that ventures off the beaten path.. it’s not your typical chocolate strawberry vanilla. (although they do offer those flavors) They offer brownies or cheesecakes that makes their ice cream unique. I ordered the pumpkin cheesecake and it was scrumptious! They also have many different kinds of cones to provide that help make your selection unique. I should also note that the gentleman behind the counter was extremely kind and courteous, as he was more than happy to allow me to taste test a few flavors before making my decision. I definitely suggest you stop by. I’m positive it’ll brighten your day! 🍨
So I decided to try the ice-cream. The flavor was play but what really got me is that this is a 15 dollar ice cream, including the tip, but the bowl made out of waffle was stale. If I'm paying this much for an ice cream I would expect you guys offer a good product. If you guys are getting a waffle cone or bowl, make sure is not stale. I kinda feel robbed.
