The owner is described as a great guy who lets customers try flavors and order before the store is even open.

Customers praise the natural flavors, which are not overly sweet, and the crispy waffle chip that comes with the cup. The shop is known for its delicious honeycomb, salted caramel, and pistachio flavors, which pair well with the chocolate hazelnut and are reminiscent of Ferrero Rocher or creamy Nutella.
