So far, I've tried the milkshakes, raspas, and the banana split ice cream - all of which were delicious. The ice cream is rich and creamy, and the flavors are unique and bursting with flavor. I can't wait to go back and try the other items on their menu!

What really sets Dandy's apart, though, is the people who work there. They are all so friendly and welcoming, and they really go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. The service is truly amazing.

Overall, if you're looking for delicious Mexican ice cream in Sacramento, you have to check out Dandy's. The ice cream is amazing, the service is great, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a sweet treat!“

“Hands down some of the best gelato EVER. It's not cheap store-bought ICE cream. Mike is a mad scientist in that kitchen of theirs whipping up pure deliciousness, always bringing out new flavors and keeping their menu fresh.“

“Tokyo Ice Cream is an absolute gem! The flavors are incredibly rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced—not overly sweet, just pure quality in every bite. You can really tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The texture is creamy and luxurious, and every flavor feels thoughtfully crafted.

The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere makes the experience even better. Whether you’re trying a classic flavor or something more unique, Tokyo Ice Cream never disappoints. It’s easily one of the best ice cream spots around and a place I keep coming back to. Highly recommended!“

“ordered $50 in ice cream for multiole people. sitting here waiting. the driver picked up the order and went offline! I called thd number they say to call and they cannot reach the driver (offline) and the store wont respond. JENKY SERVICE!!!!!“

“It's really nice to find more than just vanilla in the lactose free flavors. Everything that we've had so far has been really good and I try to find excuses to at least walk by and see if there is a flavor that I can't resist. The lack of indoor seating is a bummer, but it isn't enough to keep me away.“

“Everything Delicious ! Have a fun place“

“Wow and yummy! This place has some of the coolest concoctions for ice cold deserts on a hot summer day. Everything from your favorite boba tea flavor, some of the best shaved Ice in town. They have ice cream and these awesome new treats called dragons breath. It is freeze dried frozen balls of something that when you pop them in your mouth like one or two and they begin to melt, it creates a bellowing cloud that you slowly just let roll out the mouth. And it makes you look like a fire breathing dragon about to pop smoke!!.
Also they have a huge selection on other delicious treats and it’s all 100% summer approved:

The vampire penguin theme is also pretty cute and clever. My wife and I choose penguins as our spirit animal and the Vampire never gets old. Especially when we’re BTVS fan!!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Anne was amazing! She greeted us with the sweetest smile and such a kind attitude. She has this warm, bubbly energy that instantly makes you feel welcome. She helped us pick out the perfect flavors and made the whole experience so fun. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. If you stop by Salt & Straw, I hope you get Anne, she’ll make your visit even better! 🍦✨“

“Love coming here for a sweet treat. The place is always clean until a big group of people come by and aren’t considerate with how they go through the topping station.

They have staple flavors like original and chocolate, and then they rotating flavors like starburst and hi-chew. I love coming here because there are so many ways to customize your bowl. The staff are nice, there’s seating inside and a good amount of seating outside. The parking right in front of the store gets filled fast.“

“Love this place. They always have a good variety of flavors.“

“Churros and ice cream was excellent“

“Under new ownership (as of Nov 22). Hours are Finally consistent, the owner is friendly, and the ice cream is GREAT!“

“I love this place. great flavors. friendly staff“

“I had an amazing experience at Cold Stone thanks to Malakai and Marissa! They were super friendly, patient, and made my order perfectly. You can really tell they care about what they do — they both had great energy and made the visit fun. The ice cream was delicious (as always), but their service made it even better. Definitely two of the best employees I’ve met there — I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“A Clean, Friendly, and Always Delicious Frozen Yogurt Spot

Menchie’s on Madison is hands down one of my favorite frozen yogurt places. They switch up the flavors regularly, so there’s always something yummy to try, and I love that it never feels stale or repetitive.

What really makes this location stand out is how welcoming they are to kids and toddlers—it’s such a friendly, family-friendly spot. The store is super clean, well-organized, and well-maintained, which makes every visit enjoyable. Even the bathroom is big, well-stocked, and spotless—which, let’s be honest, is a huge plus when you’ve got little ones in tow!

The employees are pleasant and efficient, not overly chatty, but they get the job done, and I appreciate that. The prices are fair, and they run great promotions from time to time, making it even more affordable.

At the end of the day, this is my go-to frozen yogurt spot. Whether I’m with my kids or catching up with friends, it’s always a great experience. Highly recommend!“

“Yummy yogurt! 😋 Will return again very soon!“

“It has been a while since I have been to OMG! Yogurt. I went to the Rocklin location today. Tyler was so very helpful and kind. I can't wait to go back!!“

“It was a wonderful surprise to find an ice cream food truck in the neighborhood. We had the Butter Brickle scoop and the Swiss chocolate shake and they both were absolutely delicious. The owners are friendly and kind and it was a pleasure meeting them. I highly recommend Building A Sundae food truck to everyone who is looking for high quality delicious ice cream. A+ A+ A+“

“The only thing I had an issue with was the confusing ordering on your app. Once the 30 minute minute window was up my order disappeared. I thought it was canceled, because it was no longer under my order button. Of course I reordered and I got charged twice. The guy was super patient and helped cancel one of my orders but not without hassle. Love this location, the guys working there are always friendly and welcoming! I'll be back!“

“It’s Vic’s, welcome back!!! We ordered lunch, both of our sandwiches were mixed up. One of the girls said she’d give us a discount for the orders coming out wrong. We didn’t get any discount. We had waited over 30 minutes to get a seat, so we didn’t have time for dessert. I’m sure as time goes on, the kinks will work themselves out.“

“everything so good 😋 😍 😍 😋“

“Every flavor take me to paradise all flavors are delicious 🤤“

“This place isn't good ITS THE BEST ICE CREAM PLACE YOU CAN EVER GO!!!!! So many options everything tastes so good the donuts taste so fresh and fluffy. This place beats all other ice cream shops by so much. I'm from East Bay and it was worth coming up to Sacramento and trying this amazing place. :)“

“The ice cream alone could get this store 5 stars, but then add in the above and beyond service.. wish i could rate it 10!
A young man helped me today over the phone as I was struggling with the online ordering (which mind you is through a third party company) he was so helpful, and made sure my family and I got exactly what we were ordering and wanting. He was super nice and accommodating, it’s rare to receive such kind customer service sometimes. I was really blown away.
Back to the ice cream… DELISH! have never been disappointed in what i’ve tired. highly recommend!“

“Friendly staff with great customer service. Delicious shaved ice. Thank you, Tyler“

“Delicious ice cream. Tasty and refreshing. I’ll be back.“

“I like the ice cream! I like the packaging 💚! I like products!“

“everything is good. ill try the pies next Thursday night at motorcycle night...“

“Absolutely wonderful! A variety of very unique and fancy donuts. I got the blueberry lavender donut and the carrot walnut donut hole, both were delicious and fluffy, not dry and cakey like most gluten free pastries. The ice cream is super thick and creamy. I'm so excited to come back and try everything!“

“Theeee best!!!!!!! Will be back again“

“When I went in, there was only one worker and 5 of us customers in the store so I wasn’t greeted but it’s fine because the service was fast. The worker was polite when my order was ready. On the downside it did kinda smell bad in there but I can’t really blame them…. it’s Marconi ave. 😂😂“

“Party box was gifted from a client so not sure about pricing, service or atmosphere. The box included 2 each of the following flavors: chocolate brownie, sugar cookie with Cadbury Mini Eggs, carrot cake, cherry pie pretzel, chocolate chip & lemon crinkle. Nice, large cookies so we cut them up so everone could sample. The chocolate chips were great and still warm on arrival - a warm chocolate chip cookie is always the BEST chocolate chip cookie. Nice sized chips. The chocolate brownie was my favorite: soft and the perfect amount of chocolately flavor without being overly sweet. Not a huge sugar cookie fan but these are good. Hard to cut but right ratio of sugar cookie to frosting. My husband would be in heaven with these. The carrot cake was super moist and everything I want in a carrot cake. Good ratio of cake to frosting with just a sprinkle of nuts. You can taste the carrot shavings and raisins without them overpowering.“

“Awesome frozen yogurt!!! The chocolate chip cookie dough balls are FABULOUS!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“I don’t give a damn what anyone says, TOPS will always have a place in my heart. They have survived while others have fallen: Rite Aide, CVS, Islands, Rubios, Fry’s, On The Border, Tokyo Express, Cool River Pizza (well technically they moved but their new location is in a shitter spot so I’m counting it), Cal Fit, Mary’s Pizza Shack, Krispy Kreme (yes they came back, but it’s like $30 for a dozen donuts so they’re dead to me), Big Spoon, Bed Bath & Beyond.

When all of us are long gone, TOPS will remain. Long Live TOPS.“

“We came to the Pinkberry on Truxel Rd not long before closing, but the staff was still super friendly and welcoming. My daughter got one flavor with three toppings, and it ended up being almost $9, which felt a bit pricey for the size. But the place was very clean, and the service was great. Overall, a nice treat.“

“Great stuff. I took my whole family and we had a great time“

“Such great ice cream. The staff is always fast and friendly. The menu options are pretty much endless and again the ice cream is amazing. They make their own on site and it is so creamy and full of flavor. I recommend the Oreo Cream.

Their birthday cakes are amazing as well.“

“Staff is always friendly when I come in and always welcome me with a smile. They’re extremely patient with me (I can be pretty indecisive.) Cookies are always given out almost immediately after purchase and have always had my favorites in stock! I look forward to giving this place more of my business:)“

“The place was so clean, nice employees, and even more amazing things that are here. Their cookies are sooo good and they make more cookies as soon as they run out. Those are my reasons on why I rate this crumbl five stars. 10 out of 10 recommend!“

“I go once a week and get a mocha cappinco blast , everyone is very nice and offer me samples, and makes my drink very yummy ....Thank you for always showing me respect. Can't wait to go back..“

“Best gellato love it!! I love that they have dairy free options best customer service too!!“

“I typically do not write a review for anything or anyone, but the outstanding service I received from Mrs. Brenda Elias,Fx calls for an exception. Within a week , Mrs. Brenda Elias, traded my $2000 into $22,250 for me. She went above and beyond to make the entire process a very stress free one. She responded to all my millions of questions and make everything very simple. Top notch customer service! She’s truly a genuine person.Contact her for your trading service : Email: … See more“

“I go there and get Gelato because I love it and wish they had a shop closer to where I live. It has become a special treat for me.“

“Today was my first day and I’m glad I finally went to go. Try it! I ordered El Pastore french fries and they were loaded box of fries, Let me tell you! Don’t let the location for you. It’s a little hidden spot but a great one! Our cashier was friendly and patient while we looked over the menu. I will be coming back and trying more delicious food!!
I first learned about them on the news and they their Instagram glade I tried it finally!“

“Went today for the first time and ordered a medium watermelon freeze and medium chocolate mint milkshake. The total price was around $26 and I noticed I was charged $16 for my watermelon freeze after I has already swiped my card, so I assumed it was more expensive being a freeze. Without the prices posted online, I'm assuming I was charged twice for the same drink, as I saw someone else mention she paid $8 for a medium freeze.

After driving off to my next destination, I then noticed a brown hair on the inside at the bottom of my drink and had to toss my $16 drink out completely. I was disappointed because it was delicious and I had already looked passed being charged double for my drink at that point.

Both drinks tasted great and the customer service was great, so I'm still leaving 4 stars. But being double charged and then having to throw away an entire drink was the disappointment.“
