Excellent ice cream and dairy free dole whip
Best ice cream I’ve had by far! The workers are so kind and welcoming as well, loved it here😊
The ice cream is fine, but portions are unusually small. It was also $1.50 for a topping, which ended up being maybe 15 gummy bears. Paying for a double of triple scoop doesn’t get you anywhere near double or triple the ice cream.
I was a little let down by this ice cream shop. Portions are very small and overpriced, not worth the ice cream quality. However, the young guy behind he desk was very welcoming, friendly and helpful with telling me the ice cream flavors and such.
Amazing service for delicious treats! Come down to the waterfront and take your Dole soft serve To Go!
Very good and I love the dole whip. Nice staff. Clean building.
Delicious and staff were very helpful with flavours 🥰
Amazing customer service and ice cream. Y’all should try it out 😍
The Uber Ice Cream experience is absolutely delightful — smooth, creamy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. The presentation is elegant and modern, perfectly matching the rich, indulgent taste that feels both luxurious and comforting. The staff serve it with such care and warmth, making each visit feel personal and special. It’s more than just ice cream — it’s a little taste of joy that turns an ordinary moment into something unforgettable.
Terrible service and over priced

I recently visited Boxcar Eats in Old Sacramento and to be honest, I wasn’t all that impressed. The place looks fun from the outside with signs for Dole Whip and Tillamook Ice Cream, which definitely caught my eye. Inside, the decor was kind of cool with colorful chandeliers and lots of seating, but the atmosphere felt a bit empty and lacking energy—even though it was evening.
The service was okay, nothing special. I tried the Dole Whip and was expecting something a little more flavorful. It was just average and didn’t really live up to the hype. Same goes for the ice cream—looked great in the picture, but taste-wise, it didn’t wow me.
It’s not a terrible spot, and maybe I just went at an off time, but overall it didn’t feel like a place I’d go out of my way to visit again. It has potential, but needs a bit more warmth and quality to really shine.
Best frozen custard I have had. Delicious
We had a very refreshing pineapple dole whip float. My server was nice and he made a good float!
False advertising, no dole whip its sorbet . Also medium size double scoop was actually just a full one scoop in a medium cup. Tried once but won't again.
Customer service was excellent, but the Dole Whip was disgusting. I’ve had dole whip in Hawaii and Disneyland, and I’ve always enjoyed the creamy taste. The dole whip here tasted like chemicals and was very watery. When I asked the cashier about it, they were very forthcoming and told us that the machines were old, and that sometimes the dole whip would come out watery and sometimes it would come out creamy. I appreciated the honesty from the cashier and will never visit again. Don’t come here for the dole whip.
