Best in Ankeny, potentially all DSM. Great ice cream, great staff, great mustache - 9.6/10

They have a ton of flavors and the ones we tried were very good. Lots of options for special diets/dietary restrictions (GF, Keto, Vegan). I was *floored* when my total for two scoops of ice cream in a paper bowl was almost $11. It would be hard for me to feel like any ice cream is worth that much. We will probably be back but very infrequently.

Love the varieties of flavors they have and loved the fact that they offer icecream pup cups with treats for the doggos. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Will visit again and again.

Visited this fantastic ice cream shop on a Friday evening for the first time ever! Both employees were super friendly and gave us a couple samples. It was so hard to pick what to get due to them having so many delicious sounding options, including a few seasonal choices! They offer sundaes, ice cream cake, pints, quarts, and have a decent selection of vegan options. The sizes pictured were one of their smallest and even still it was a great size. The store is super clean and tidy too.My only minor complaint is that they only have one milkshake size and it seems to be pretty large. I wanted a milkshake but didn't want a huge one. The price was relatively high too which was a bummer because shakes are usually my go-to. Overall, this didn't take away from the experience and we absolutely loved the ice cream shop!

The manager was so rude. Ive also heard from multiple people that they treat their employees horribly. They don't respect their availabilities as highschoolers. The manager "Jill" uses racial slurs such as the n-word. There's a lot more I could say but long story short, I would never support this business.
