“Warm inviting family fun atmosphere 😁👏🏾🙌🏾💯♥️“

“We love Leatherby’s! Margarita was our waitress and she was GREAT!!! Attentive, friendly, positive attitude and wonderful service. She made us feel very welcome and taken care! Thank you Margarita!“

“I go for the ice cream ♥️😋“

“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.“

“Excellent customer service. The atomphere was on point. Very very stimulating to buy good ice cream, and sweet treats.“

“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.“

“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!!

“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.“

“I always come to this beautiful shop and I love the Fresh fruit, and the topping. They have a lot of variety of topping, and they also Have chamoy and Tajín and they have Gunther’s fruit freeze and gunthers icecream, and their Yogurt is so creamy and the customer service is really good. The store is clean. Nice !“

“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!“

“Great hang out spot. Great food, outstanding customer service. We had some KK's fries and walked over here for some dessert and it was so worth it. Definitely will be back. The restaurant was spotless welcoming. The Taiyaki was delicious, definitely coming back soon.“

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

“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.“

“Great variety of Krazy dessert combinations. The taste is delish. The way they work with the community to allow small businesses to thrive is awesome. Great custkmer service.“

“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. :)“

“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. 😂😂“

“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!“

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

“Very nice place for a healthy fun dessert 🍨! Erin was very nice and attentive!“

“Quality Taiwanese dessert, drinks, and food. They serve many flavors of Gunther ice cream. The owner is extremely sweet. Tried a few dessert places, this one is the best and my favorite. Definitely will be a returning customer.“

“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!“

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

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

“My husband and I ordered the chicken super nachos. The chicken had so much flavor! The gentleman who took our order was very polite and let us us know that it would take a few minutes as everything is fresh and cooked to order. Looking forward to trying different menu items!“

“I had a good time at this place. The flavors was bomb man everything I had was amazing. I had a song in my heart and a dance in my toes, how good this place was. And I finished it all. Chile, honey Chile you got to try it. Can wait to go again. The banana pudding was on point. Oh, by the way it is super cute in there. It's bright and colorful just as I like it. The toppings are plenty the variety is top tier.“

“Best matcha in Sacramento, period. I live in North Sac, so it's a bit of a drive getting here, but it's so worth it every time. The prices are amazing for the quality, the staff is polite and super quick, and the place is nice and clean. Overall, just a great establishment. Delicious matcha!“

“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.“

“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..“

“Great ice cream. Great creations“

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

“We stopped for a cold treat on a hot day. Thankfully, we decided on a strawberry milkshake. It was made with their delicious strawberry ice cream. Big chunks of fresh strawberries added a delicious natural flavor that I will absolutely be returning to enjoy again.“

“I come here a lot to usually get an esquite and agua fresa. The service is always so fast and the food and drink is always consistent and delicious. I will be coming back and bringing my friends!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly.“

“Fast service. They are friendly and fast. They get you in and out. All of the food is fresh. Don't eat those hot mama pickles they will have you in the bathroom. I come here on my lunch break to grab energy drinks and coffee. Wonderful experience and lots of options.“

“This place is quite convenient for you to dine from morning to afternoon, eat on the spot or take away as you like. I believe you will be satisfied if you have the opportunity to come here. Wishing you lots of joy in the new week, starting today.“

“Peeked in some time ago and it I didn't quite trust the ambiance. It always seemed not busy. Food imagery posted outside and on the wall menu aren't the most appealing. Also can't see the kitchen so I wasn't sure if it was a spot that simply microwaves pre prepped food. I was pleasantly surprised when I stopped by when my usual spot was swamped with conference attendees. I got the Chicken on Rice. Excellent quality of cuts with no gristle or tendons in sight, fluffy rice, crispy fresh greens. Fantastic flavor explosions. They use compostable takeout containers. A+ would recommend.“

“friendly staff with quick service. This location was very clean...“

“Best gluten-free pizza I've ever had! Excellent crust and delicious garlic cheese! Nice guys working and cooked the pizza perfectly!“

“greetings holiday time thanksgiving 🍒 RED ONNA HOT WINNING WINE_ CABERNET SAUVIGNON &SYRAH, WASHINGTON 'RICH,&HONEY SPICES ///@207cal.“

“Over 36 flavors of ice cream, milkshakes, fresh smoothies, coffee blasts, custom cakes, pies, ice cream pizzas, and delicious TOGO sandwiches.“

“Great service and one of the last ones who make special cakes 🎂“

“I love Baskin Robbins!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Cold Stone is my favorite ice cream place so it’s always a good experience when I go. But this time was better. Paul was the one who helped me today. His energy is great! Positive attitude. Held great conversation. More places need employees like him.“

“Best Donuts I ever had. Great Service. Always fresh.“

“Came because I’ve been craving Baskin-Robbins but don’t like to eat ice cream when it’s not that hot. Makes me cold fast. Today was in the 90’s. Got my single adult scoop in a waffle cone. I forgot how giant the cones were! They’re a great size, and the scoop wasn’t small. Filled the cone. I was worried it wouldn’t, so I’m glad they proved me wrong. Definitely worth the price.

**P.S. The review below me gave them a bad rating because of a COUNTY-WIDE power outage. They don’t control that. No one knew what was going on or why random places and random homes in different North and South communities had a power outage. That’s not a Baskin-Robbin’s issue. SMUD gave no explanation either. Extremely weird. I think that guy was just having a bad day and took it out on Baskin-Robbin’s.“

“It was getting late as me and my gf came over to get ice cream for a treat. There was also a helicopter circling nearby due to a criminal on the loose? The caring owner was super kind and MADE sure that we were safe and informed us of what was going on before we left. Ice cream was delicious too! Highly recommend the cheese cake cubes :)“

“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.“
