“We were out at an outdoor event in Des Moines. I took notice of an ice cream truck that was not familiar to me. Plenty of flavors to choose from and I was served promptly and with a smile. I could not believe that I could get the same homemade , creamery taste from a food truck ! It was amazing and my only regret is that I shared mine . Best I have had in Iowa and worth every penny , especially on a hot Iowa day!“

“This place is the best i honestly can’t believe ive never heard of this place before, my car broke down on the side of the road due to a popped tire, this girl with glasses waiting outside to clock in walked out of her own car to lend me a hand and completely changed my tire on her own in return i offered her 80 bucks but she said no and it was just a kind gesture i went inside got a couple of snacks for my nicks and the food is just so amazing they can’t stop eating it.“

“Friends and I were out on a road trip and stopped in Indianola for some ice cream. The staff was OUTSTANDING and helpful. The ice cream was excellent. The store reminded us of stores at the time we grew up! A must stop when you are in the area!“

“Had an awesome first visit!! I had the Dole Whip & my son had a Pina Colada shake. Both were delicious!!! 🍍 What a great spot!!“

“Today I stopped in with my 8th grade softball team. I think it was Taylor (one of my girls thought she read that) she was working by herself and she did absolutely amazing! She took care of all 17 girls and 2 coaches. She was very polite and calm. That many orders she handled it very well. It’s always fun to stop by after playing and get a nice cold treat! :)“

“SO good I got the pecan hot chocolate + the chicken tamales with the salsa verde. 11/10 seriously! I can’t wait to come back and try the ice cream!🥰🖤“

“I've been wanting ice cream and one day we just turned into DQ & drove up to the window.Didn't even see the microphone area to order, up to the window we went. Were able to order 2 Med. Blizzard's ...Awww, just sweet delight ?“

“Vegan menu! Tortas were soft and delicious and the nachos were the best I ever had!“

“This is in a predominately Latino strip mall so a lot of the staff don't speak much English but I can usually get by on hand gestures. The paletas (popsicles) are really good here! I usually get the "fresa con crema" which is strawberries and cream. They also do a lot of other novelty foods which I haven't tried yet, but they seem very popular! They also have hand-scooped ice cream but I'm not sure if it's made in-house or not. Apparently, that was very good and creamy!“

“Very good mushroom coffee.

Nice selection of kava, coffee, smoothies, Gelato, lunch, and more. The Gelato flights they were bringing out look fantastic.

I had the mushroom cacao coffee with lions mane mushrooms. You have your choice of 5 different species of mushroom, and the menu explains the benefits. Anyway- delicious.

My sister had a coffee. LOL! She said it was good. Total for both drinks $13 before tip.

Loved all the plants and the fireplace area.

The gal taking orders wasn't having a great day I don't think. But that won't stop me from going again.

In and out door seating available.“

“Es un buen restaurante su comida es rica“

“They did an amazing job on the ice cream cake. Staff were all super nice and the atmosphere was amazing while I was in store. They have a dq closer to me but I'm glad I decided to go out of my way to this store instead. Really appreciate everything and maybe ill get another cake for my family Xmas. I honestly would have ate the food there, but I needed to concentrate on getting the cake back to a freezer.“
