Worst freezer burnt ice cream ever. I ordered 3 scoops to share and it absolutely was 2 scoops probably because it was the end of the cartoon and freezer burnt. It was hard to scoop I watch her. This would be fixed if they allowed you to taste the ice cream. The other person my party got another flavor and it was creamy not iced but they did not like the flavor. Do not go here worst ice cream of my life.

I came for the Instagrammable vibes, but I stayed for...well, nothing actually. This place might look like the backdrop of a perfect influencer post, but let me tell you, the ice cream is about as satisfying as a mirage in the desert.

First of all, who knew you could charge a small fortune for frozen disappointment? I’ve seen luxury cars with better prices than these cones. You’d think for the cost, they’d be sprinkling in some gold flakes or at least some extra flavor, but nope—just regular ol' ice cream that tastes like they forgot the "cream" part.

The aesthetic? Sure, it’s cute if you like hanging out in a pastel dream where your wallet goes to die. But if you’re here for actual ice cream enjoyment, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. Maybe a store where the ice cream is both edible and affordable. Just a thought.

So, if you're into paying designer prices for dollar store taste, this is your spot. Otherwise, save your money and get a tub of ice cream at the grocery store—you’ll thank me later!

So cool! We loved this place. The flavors were excellent, the staff was great, and they even had a play area outside with a dirt pile for kids and a playhouse with "no grownups allowed" graffiti. Highly recommend.

Dietary restrictions: Just a couple dairy free options. The vegan vanilla was good but it couldn't be made into a shake because they didn't have dairy free milk. I found that odd since they had dairy free ice cream.

Wow! I’m enjoying apple Pie ice cream with caramel topping in the shade on their beautiful patio. We love this place and stop every time we are in Buenie.

Good ice cream. The shop’s font is horrible though. Have to squint and read the scribble font that is everywhere. It is not cutesy- it makes the experience harder for patrons.
