the menu is constantly rotating & they often have lots of unconventional flavours. it’s also nice that they focus on local ingredients. the marshmallow topping wasn’t what i was expecting so i was a little disappointed- texturally it was lighter & more similar to meringue than the sticky gooey fluff that i’m used to. the scoops that received were massive & we almost couldn’t finish. the waffle cone is also so buttery & delicious....

This place absolutely delivered a perfect outing. The welcome was bright and friendly from the moment we walked in, and the atmosphere felt like a true neighborhood gem. Everything we had was clearly made with care and tasted wonderfully fresh.

The space itself has a lovely, relaxed charm that makes you want to linger. I left feeling completely satisfied and can’t wait to come back again. A genuine highlight in Santa Cruz.

Honestly top tier ice cream and milkshakes. The coffee shake was delectable and I would highly recommend. Definitely very expensive, North of $10 for a shake seems absurd somehow but alas it is 2026. If you're looking for a really good sweet treat and have some cash burning a hole in your pocket it's great!
