“Beautiful and authentic place! Taking care of cows is a really hard job, so I have a lot of respect for these farmers. We are from Europe, when we tried the whole milk from Fish farm, we can’t buy ANY other milk on the market! This is how milk is supposed to taste! Also, best ice cream, sweet cream my favorite. Thank you to keep up such good work.“

First, you select the size cup you want then select the frozen yogurt and toppings. It is charged by the weight. Ithought the store was very clean for a hot summer day!! The were also tables to eat at outside! I highly recommend this place.“

“Carvel is always good for soft serve, but I decided I wanted some mint chocolate chip today and I was a little disappointed. Although it was the bottom of the barrel, I was still hoping it would be nice and creamy, but it wasn't. The shop looks a little tired but the young man that waited on me couldn't have been nicer and more professional.“

Waitresses dressed in uniforms with little caps. Terrific hamburgers,cheeseburgers and wonderful ice cream?

Kid-friendliness: Good spot for kids. Very nice relaxed atmosphere.“

“My daughter and I go to this Sweet Frog location often as we live in town. We even continued to go during the height of the pandemic because it’s important to support small businesses. I never once complained when they barricaded their public bathrooms during Covid and didn’t allow anyone to use them. Not even when my daughter had an emergency bathroom situation did I complain. We went over to Whole Foods and figured it out. But tonight I felt not wanted there. Their posted hours for Friday state they are open 9:30pm. This is untrue they are open till 9. We arrived after an evening at the park around 8:40pm (plenty of time right). I was met with “Just so you know we’re closing in a minute”. No “Hi” no “Welcome to Sweet Frog”. I actually turned to the young man and said “I’m sorry?”. Because I was so taken back at the odd greeting I received. It was so cold and rude. I have no issues with a business letting me know it’s almost time to close. I won’t even enter a business super close to closing especially if I don’t believe I will be able to get out in time. From the reviews below this seems to be the norm here now. I have to say the Froyo is always good and always fresh and I’ve never had a problem with their products. It is expensive and they are back to weighing the cups again so just be prepared for at least $10-$12 for two ice creams at minimum.“

“Excellent ice cream, i just brought the coconut and birthday flavor. I liked it and would buy it again.“

“Matt and Jonah know how to put a chili dog together. Great service. Quality food for the price.“

“My current top hidden gem for amazing and authentic Mexican food. Hidden in La plaza del Mercado, this spot has the most amazing tripe soup, where the tripe was properly cleaned, no funky taste/smell, cooked perfectly tender. Great caldo de res as well, the meat was tender and had a strong beef flavor, soup was light and refreshing and the veggies provided a nice natural sweetness and the squash was incredible inside. Their tacos are great as well and their pricing is a bargain and their portions are quite good.“
