Expect a wide array of classic and more unusual flavors such as nectarine at this splendiferous creamery, at prices that will surely make you want to order more than you should probably eat.

Service is efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere is pleasant.

It gets popular, so expect a short wait to order.

Worth every cent.

“Was in the area and did a search for ice cream. This place popped up and I decided to check it out. The vibe from the staff is great. The flavors are nice and different, the finish of the ice cream is fresh. No lingering fattiness or artificial viscosity.

Will definitely come back if I'm in the area and want ice cream. Store is clean and bright, plenty of natural light and simple decor. The production area is clearly visible so you can see they're proud of what they're doing. I recommend this place.“

Being right by the waterfront adds to the experience—there’s nothing like enjoying a sweet treat while feeling the cool breeze.“

“Awesome I had the grapefruit and orange drink and I can't wait to come back to try something else. My youngest daughter loved the Oreo shake, my oldest daughter loved her chai tea and their dads kiwi slushy was also delicious. I'd love to try their ice creams next and can't wait for another hot day to come in.“

“I love this place so much. They have the best breakfast sandwiches and the best movies in my area. They also offer a variety of drinks such as soda tea orange juice any kind of juice coffee donuts and chips. They also offer a different variety of breakfast sandwiches. They have several tables and chairs for dine in. They have a bathroom all the way in back of the store that is pretty decent. The owners are really friendly and kind. They will make your breakfast sandwich however you asked for it.“

“I adore their Hong Kong Milk Tea icecream! � I am transported back to childhood love of milk tea and cookies!!“

“Mangonada, nieve de garrafa, raspados, bionicos, tostilocos, tejuinos“

“I usually stop for a shake or packed ice cream. The sundaes are very good but with a quart of ice cream I can tell myself I'm not eating it all in one go. (A lie!). They also have coffee, doughnuts and some hot breakfast sandwiches so not just a dessert place. Friendly owners I always enjoy visiting with.“

“When schools were open, I would stop here with my sons on the way home. We are from Puerto Rico so we were super excited to see mamey, guanabana and guava ice cream made with real fruit. We would buy something to eat on the way home and extra for the rest of the family. Their Mangonadas are huge, packed with fresh mango, refreshing and super delicious. We usually share them! My go to snack is the Elote (in a cup). Every time family is in town, we take them here.When the schools were open, I would stop here with my children on the way home.

“Vegan Donut Gelato is PHENOMENAL! My wife and I loved our brief stop this week. The donuts are massive and well worth the price. Friendly service and the woman who served us was great. Highly recommended!“

“This is my favorite boba place! I always get the Taro Smoothie, delicious! Their smoothie is a thicker smoothie with a delicious flavor, and their boba is a little smaller than most places which I really enjoy a lot more. Also, the wait times are very short, no matter how many people are in line. Highly recommend this place if you are a fan of boba teas!“

“A quiet and family neighborhood with awesome collection of boutique shops and stores for the family!!“

“The same lady that takes my order everytime is always patient and kind. I've only tried their fries and ice cream cones. They give you alot of French fries and a huge ice cream cone. They make the best cones. Better than mcdonalds, foster freeze, anywhere else I've order an ice cream cone. They are really filled with ice cream for reals.“

“I bring out-of-towners to this place to impress them. I love the ice cream sandwiches (yuppie prices, but good) - they make the cookie part soft and thin, so it works well with the large chunk of ice cream. The cookie selection is always really great - I love the snowcap cookie and traditional chocolate chip. Went with my friend and he dies for the malt milkshake. I usually walk home after so I don't feel so bad.“

“Best personal service ever. When. We walked in we were excited to try chocolate and as we tried those amazing flavors I have to say those were the best chocolates I’ve ever tasted in my life. Thank you for the kind service and great chocolate. We will be back whenever we pass through Oakland.“

“The best donuts ?!! I love them, the donuts are prepared daily, they are fresh, forget about buying hard donuts HERE THEY ARE ALWAYS FRESH!! There is variety, but I like the chocolate ones ?‍↔️ Customer service is nice.

Pd. They also sell breakfast and coffee.“

“I took my nephew here because he was craving a banana split , it was very clean inside and customer service was great and employee named Rosalita serviced us. we got a banana split , 2 scoops of ice cream plus a mangonada all of it was good especially my ice cream of Ferrero rocher it was our first time there and my nephews enjoyed watching other locations in different states while I enjoyed the reggaeton music playing. We will definitely be going back soon. Definitely recommend taking kids here“
