Super service and homemade ice cream and Sorbet. Unique flavors like Quince and Pumpkin Caramel. I had Fresh Mint Chocolate Chip. Luv the pieces of dark chocolate chip. I love that they offer small waffle cones, just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.

I am obsessed with the toasted marshmallow fluff. Truly the star of the show. The mini scoop option was the perfect amount for me. More ice cream places should start offering this. I got 1 mini scoop of mint chip and 1 mini scoop of vanilla bean. Both were delicious. I definitely plan to go back to another penny ice creamery location in the future.

Some of the freshest, best ice cream I've ever had. Unique flavors, all locally sourced, high quality stuff. The guy with the mustache serving the ice cream was real nice and had great scooping skills. He also stayed cooler than a cucumber when a large crowd came in, and he handled business like a pro.

They had 2 vegan flavors & we got chocolate. Their caramel & pumpkin ice creams are also SO good!!!

This is the first visit to this location. It's a great newer location with both indoor and outdoor seating, can accomodate a lot of clients unlike their original Santa Cruz downtown outfit. Enjoyed the Peach Cobler in a cone sitting outdoor on a hot day enjoying the cool evening breeze. Love their ice creams and their unique flavors. They have few vegan options as well. Our group tried few others including Verve Coffee (another local), Mint, Shorbet etc. Always enjoy their rich fresh ice creams ... everything is local!

A nice ice cream shop but you should know they have a flavor that they change up so a flavor might not always be there.

Our milkshakes were over flowing the second they set them down. Staff just watched and didn’t say a word. P.s don’t get the whipped cream

I just ordered straight up strawberry and it is the worst tasting strawberry I've cream I have ever tasted. I've been eating strawberry I've cream since I was 3 years old and I'm 75 now. I thought I didn't need to taste it first, what could anyone do to strawberry ice cream to make it taste bad? There was a weird off taste to it, no chunks of strawberry, and a weird color! Pinkish grey. I'm not asking for my money back as I had to wait 10 minutes in line. I am so disappointed! I'll stick to Marianne's in Santa Cruz, even though it's not organic. Big echoey room, not cozy at all!

Ice cream is just okay, but the location is good. The outside was really dirty with trash everywhere. Definitely an opportunity for them to clean more often.

Adorable little parlor in Scotts Valley. They have different flavors all the time and toppings to add if you'd like. Friendly service too. My daughter and I absolutely loved ours

These guys need a few regular flavors for kids. 23% of all people who live in Scotts valley are under 18. Two safe bets for the kids would be nice.

Great stop after hitting the trails or beach. Lots of seating and it's in a great location.
