Nothing special and at the same time a bit different. Would come again

I was disappointed because the waffle cone was soggy here and there.
Chai soft cone is the magic.
With a chewy texture
A tea scent that gently spreads fragrantly in your mouth.

21st century soda shop. Wonderful and ample ice cream. Very popular in the neighborhood so expect a friendly line.

Im not a soft serve girly but this hit the spot! Somehow it didn’t taste artificial and sugary like the typical soft serve. Very creamy and tasty!

Best ice cream in New Haven, and honestly best soft serve I've had period. The chocolate flavor is vegan friendly and they also offer lactaid at the counter.

I recommend getting the Elena's Favorite with Vanilla OR the chocolate soft serve in a cup with Oreo crumbs. OR if they have the Matcha or Ube flavors on tap get that. I wish they'd have those more often.

Such a cute little neighborhood gem. The staff were energetic and cheerful. They have tables outside and it’s a great place to enjoy some soft serve and people watch. I had an extra small cup of swirled vanilla + chocolate with chocolate chips. It was the perfect amount of sweetness. The vanilla soft serve texture was on point, the chocolate seemed closer to ice cream but I don’t see anything to complain about here! :) Would come back again.

We got the chocolate vanilla swirl and the maple creme. The small size is actually fairly large. The chocolate tasted like dark chocolate which was a perfect combination with the vanilla. The maple was interesting, it was like a whipped maple syrup turned into an ice cream, not something I would recommend but not bad. They regularly change their special so there is always a reason to come back.

Average soft serve. Chocolate flavor is made with oat milk. Smells weird. Staff is nice. No real ice cream, soft serve only.

Kid-friendliness: It's fine. There's a table with crayons. Place is kind of messy, so it works.

A very social place. Good vibes, good people, good conversations and delicious ice cream. I'll be able to take pictures of the ice cream one day when I can take a picture before I eat it. But once they put it in your hand and you get your spoon, you start eating and enjoying it and then you say to yourself, "Ah, I should have took a picture" but you're happy that you enjoyed your ice cream. Very worthwhile place.
