very friendly staff, I arrived 2 minutes before closing and the girls served me nicely. I like the unusual combination of ice cream flavors

The best ice cream shop in the city. The staff is very friendly. I love that they work with local farmers, too! I really appreciate what they’re bringing to the neighborhood. Fresh and delicious!

Super disappointed that samples were not allowed especially because they had so many unique flavors, you'd want to try before getting a whole scoop! When I asked why, they weren't too nice about it. So I got one scoop of something that was great and another whole scoop of something I did not like or eat :/

Went here on a whim with a few friends after dinner. Very cute and cozy shop, for a quick sweet treat. I got the blueberry basil sorbet and pain perdu. The blueberry basil was phenomenal!!! Really tasted like fresh blueberries and the basil was standout. The pain perdu was a little lackluster compared to the sorbet, however it was very creamy and cinnamon forward. I would go back for the sorbet for sure. A con for this shop is that they don’t do any samples which was a big bummer.Vegetarian options: Sorbets and vegan icecream

Interesting flavors and great texture. The fresh basil and mint are especially good, though seasonal. I wish they did tasters!

I don't get the hype of this place. I LOVE ice cream and in every city and country I visit I make it my mission to stop by an ice cream shop. I honestly can't remember the last time I went to an ice cream shop that doesn't give samples. Other than that, the place didn't have a pleasant smell when I visited. I won't be back.

sadly they don't allow samples. pretty affordable price compared to jenni's or ice cream jubilee. interesting flavors for hispanic month as well. but it didn't wow me, i think because i had quite high expectations.

I got the Callebaut Chocolate and Champurrado scoops from Mount Desert Island Ice Cream in D.C. Very rich and creamy. Yesterday was National Chocolate Day! And my family got Tres Leches, Sweet Cream, Callebaut Chocolate, Sea Salt Caramel, Four Oranges, and Strawberry. It's a good thing this ice cream shop isn't too close to me, or I would be in serious trouble! Highly recommend.
