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.
Delicious Italian ice.
Cute hole in the wall ice cream spot

It is impossible to give this place anything but 5 stars. There simply isn't anywhere else to get Italian ice. If you need that Italian ice itch scratched this is it. It's great. They have a billion flavors. Employees are nice. They're mostly young kids or students. It's a neighborhood spot. We gotta keep it alive.

I am originally from the Northeast and hadn't had a waterice in almost 18 years. It was definitely worth the wait! Thanks for feeding my nostalgia!
Vegetarian options: There is no meat in the waterice
Kid-friendliness: If your kids don't like this than you have failed as a parent

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.

Are you open??
I had the frozen custard layered with Italian ice and it was delicious. Spending many days at the Jersey shore growing up I feel like I know frozen custard and this did not disappoint. Never had it with Italian before but I’m hooked. Friendly staff too. Wish it had more seating.

The nicest people serving up the tastiest treats.
Their frozen custard is super good! I haven’t tried anything else, but they have all kinds of frozen options that all looked delicious.
