    “Cute froyo shop, good place for a fun treat. Lots of variety with toppings and flavors, staff was friendly, store was clean. Came in right before close and felt bad about coming in when they were ready to close shop but the workers didn’t rush me and were super helpful. I would like to see more machines working at a time, a few were out of order. Other than that it is a nice place and I would definitely recommend. Overall, the shop has a fun atmosphere and great service. Will be visiting again next time I’m in the area.”
