Very unique flavors and tasty ice cream!
Food: 4
They have a variety of flavors that seem to be trending for christmas (like PSL/pumpkin spice latte) but I find all of their flavors to be wayyyy too sweet and artificial-tasting. For instance the vanilla bean just tasted like vanilla syrup, and the almond cake tasted like too much almond extract. Favorite flavor was Holiday sugar cookie which ironically enough was the least sweet and had yummy chunks of snickerdoodle in it

I got the dragon fruit with lemon flavored sorbet. I find the texture really interesting. It’s like this stretchy type texture, but I really like it. And the flavors combination were really good. The menu is constantly rotating so not sure about other flavors that they come up with, but for Halloween looks pretty good.

I am sorry to say that I didn’t like the ice cream at all. To me, I felt it was too sweet that I didn’t taste flavour only sugar and we took about 6 scoops to go. The service was 10/10!

They moved into a coffee shop and now only offer 6 flavors, 3 of them were coffee flavors. No good for kids.
Doesn't look like it's the same place, it's the dark horse coffe shop
I was curious to try this creamery since the flavors sounded unique and interesting and the prices are very reasonable.
I left disappointed because I could not find a flavor that I liked. The vast majority of the flavors are salty (even when the flavor description doesn't mention salt). I came for Haole Pie and it was too salty. Milk & cookies was salty. Banana cream pie was extra salty (to be fair it's in the flavor description). The Hawaiian Latte had very strong unpleasant coconut flavor due to the vegan base.
Location is inside of a coffee shop, and the counter is by the door.
Street parking was easy to find weekday afternoon but probably tricky in the evening and on weekend days.
The staff was very friendly in answering questions and offering flavor samples.

It’s not a whole ice cream shop. They only have a handful of flavors. It shares the space with a coffee shop.
The people were nice, but as someone who loves sugar, I was bummed. The ice cream was too sweet and was grittier than some of my other favorites. I definitely prefer Stella jeans. Also the few seats were taken up.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegan options.

Delicious and unique ice cream flavors served in South Park! Mutual Friend shares its location with Dark Horse Coffee in a convenient corner establishment.Parking:Street parking only— be aware that you might have to circle around a couple of blocks if you go during busy afternoons and weekends.Ambiance/ServiceNice, bright coffee/ice cream shop decorated with string lights above and a large neon sign that says “Dark Horse Coffee.” Not a lot of seating inside— only a couple of 4-person benches and maybe one or two 2-person tables. A large electronic menu resides next to the ice cream counter with descriptions of each flavor. The guy serving us was very patient and nice as we tried out many flavors! At around 7pm on a Wednesday, there was no line.Food:Split singe scoop ($6.50): I ordered the Buttermilk and Blueberries & Couch Potato (I loved the combination of sweet and salty on this one). My husband ordered Vanilla Bean with Olive Oil and Milk and Cookies. What I noticed is that the ice cream is a bit on the runnier side so it might be difficult to eat with a cone.Overall:I’m impressed with the flavors available and I’d love to come back to try out other seasonal flavors when they come out!

Ice cream is great. Service is pretty weak if you come in with kids! Multiple times now employees are very clearly unhappy with kids in the shop and will make you and you’re family feel pretty unwelcome.
