Not a fan- we got the mint ice cream and it was way too garden tasting- we should've tasted ice cream first, but we tasted natural organic mint, which is a great thought, but a horrible taste. Went back in and explained that we did. They asked if we licked it of course we did. It's ice cream..... and they gave us a minuscule scoop of vanilla and called it a day. Do not recommend horrible customer service. The guy was kind of snarky and did not fulfill the full scoop. I paid for way too much. I don't mind paying a good penny for good ice cream but if it's crappy, no thank you

The price was high but worth it the ice cream was good

Best ice cream ever! The cone is so perfectly sweet and the ice cream is so nice and sweet but not overly sweet! The marshmallow topping is really nice and a good toasty deep flavor :)

PS. The girl working on 4/22/25 @ 5 pm is so pretty and nice, she provided great customer service and had such a nice contagious smile. She complimented my bangs and made my day :)

Great product, but terrible customer service

This used to be the best place in town but now it’s nasty! They are constantly putting out new “Artisan” flavors and not a single one I’ve tried has been anywhere close to decent, they used to have a line out the door and now every time I go I’m unbelievably disappointed DO NOT

I love their continually changing flavors, they are always amazing! Don't forget the mini double scoop if you can't decide between two of them!

I tried the chocolate roasted almonds and marshmallows and omg IT WAS GOOD!! The texture, the size of the scoop and the service were beyond expectations. I highly recommend it ❤️

Great ice cream, handmade waffle cones on premises, smells great while you’re choosing your fav scoop. Located right next to Verve Coffee. A few tables to enjoy your ice cream. My only criticism (if it’s that) is I wish they had more nutty flavors.

Parking: Parking in the back & in the street.

Will not come again! I used to love this cute ice cream shop, but not anymore based on my most recent visit. The staff with dyed blond hair had an arrogant attitude. The way she scoop the ice cream made the portion super small, the single scoop was half empty. Can’t believe we paid over 7 for this.
