I get the rose flavored ice cream almost every time! The puffle cone is mandatory.
Kid-friendliness: Not particularly kid-friendly because they have a huge neon sign that reads "it's not gonna lick itself." đ¤¨

This was delicious. The cone was fresh and hot and the ice cream was cold enough that it was still mostly frozen before I finished.

The quality of the food, the quantity of the food, and the sanitation standard have all notably went down. It is a shame, because I used to highly recommend this dessert spot & buy pints to go. Now, I am unsure if I want to return.
Disrespectfully overpriced for how little their delivery is. If you are looking for a quality ice cream experience, you are better off visiting someplace else. Whoever is higher up and making decisions at Cauldron Ice Cream needs to do some real reevaluation to turn this place around.

I adore the beautiful rose shape of the ice cream! The "Su, Moon, Stars" flavor is one of my all-time favorites. Their ice cream is made with liquid nitrogen, which gives it an incredibly smooth and creamy texture. However, I think the combination of ice cream with the puffle cone might be a bit too much for one person.

I had high hopes based on the Yelp reviews, but my experience was quite disappointing. The cleanliness of the place left much to be desired, rating only a 2/5 for both general cleanliness and the restroom. The ice cream had a pretty good flavor, but unfortunately, it was already 35% melted by the time it was served. Overall, it wasnât a good experience.

I used to be a huge fan of this place but after multiple bad recent experiences, theyâve lost a loyal customer. What theyâre charging now is outrageous ($13 for one ice cream in a puffle cone). Unfortunately as the prices have gone up, the size and quality of the cone has gone down. The artistry and pride that the employees used to have is completely gone; now they just scoop your ice cream on the cone and call it a day. They advertise the âflower petalâ ice cream but they donât say you need to specifically ask for it to be made that way, and now that you order from a tablet, itâs impossible to know and leads to disappointment. Very impersonal. Iâm very sad to see the decline of this establishment, please offer better training for your employees and lower the cost. Iâd rather go to the Rite Aid down the street to satisfy an ice cream craving that costs only a few dollars.

I love the beautiful rose shape! This flavor (su, moon, stars) is also one of my all time favorites. Their ice cream is liquid nitrogen based so itâs super smooth and creamy. I would say the ice cream with the puffle cone is just a little too much for one person though!

What? Why the high reviews!?!?!The Milk and Cereal ice cream was flavorless and was essentially vanilla ice cream with like 10 Frosted Flakes on top. What a rip off. The puffy cone is bland too. ZERO flavor. Overrated place 100%.

We got the strawberry puffle with the rose ice cream and the cereal milk one. The cereal milk ice cream didn't really have much flavor, but the Rose h20 one did, and it was super yummy and subtle. I would definitely come back to this place.
