Ice cream was amazing and had a great time talking to Yeni and Nicole!
I'm glad I discovered this spot, its amazing. The owner is very nice and inviting. The vibes are great. I found my new spot fashurley.
This was our first time here and we greatly enjoyed it. The ice cream was delicious, and the staff was wonderful— great customer service. We can’t wait to come back!
Like another reviewer said I wanted to like it and support local. I came here with my 2 kids and we each got one very small scoop of ice cream and the total came to $20!!!! It was good but you can't sit inside (my kids kept wanting to go to the gambling area) and the outside seating is limited. While it was good ice cream and sorbet, I will not be going back.
We tried for the first time today and I really love it. I ice cream tasted very original with real fruits in the ice cream. The only odd thing I’m a bit frustrated is the number of samples we can choose. The lady said we could try up to 2 flavors, which is fine with me, as I understand if they are trying to control cost and not have someone try a million flavors . But when I read the review on here, someone said they allowed them to try a million flavors, that made me really mad and I don’t like the inconsistency of this. That’s just unfair you’re picking and choosing who you want to provide unlimited samples to. I plan on going back but not I’m not sure if I should being treated unfairly like this. They need to stay consistent with their practice. Lastly she charged me for 2 scoops but she really gave me 1.5 scoops of ice cream. I gave this a 3 for good flavor ice cream but bad practice.
The best ice cream in the city.
The flavors were OK. It is quite expensive for a small city joint. I felt that the flavors were watered down and tasted bland. There were alcohol infused ice cream but I don't drink so didn't try.
Went in with some girlfriends they had orders their iced cream and I was choosing mind you it toke me less than 5 sec to chose as I was saying it she started taking another customers order infront of us! I just felt like that was really rude of her part.
How can you be taking someone’s order not finish it then go to the next w out asking if we needed some time or if she could help the next person in the mean time!
Yeni and Chris were a good host to our group when we visited Yeni's Palarte for the first time last week. Tasty ice cream, lovely sevice, and beautiful place!
I wanted to like it, because I love going to Mexican Ice Cream shops and this felt like that authentic vibe from what I saw online
Walked in and the inside was probably 4x hotter than it was outside, in an ice cream place…
The menu is a logistical train wreck, I’m sorry, it is just horribly unorganized with no pricing listed
That made it even more of a shock when 3 single scoops cost me $29!? along with a suggested 20% tip. Transparently, I changed that down and left a dollar for the polite employee, but I’m simply not leaving 20% for a non sit-down service where I’m already being price gouged at the base cost before considering a tip. The business needs to display their pricing more clearly so customers know what they’re getting themselves into - and/or they had better be paying those employees very well
At these prices, I’d also expect to be able to sit down inside without being accosted by gambling machines and a broken a/c unit
I really wanted to like it here and I am sorry I couldn’t leave a more positive review

Dude wth?!?!?
I had no idea Whiskey Ice cream is so delicious and so expensive lol
Ice cream flavors are unique! Blackberry, lavender, and cheese! Yum....would go back to try some others, but a bit pricey. Wish they had some other savory treats like tacos or something similar ? maybe in the future?

Great place! My family and I were in town for a wedding. Had seen this spot in the past but finally made time to check it out! It was well worth the visit!
Chris, the co-owner took good care of us! He talked us through the company history and let us taste different flavors.
Loved the Peach and Paloma flavors for nondairy options and the Oreo for the dairy flavor options! Prices were fair. Flavors were fresh.
Can’t wait to get back to try some new flavors!

They have boozy and non-boozy ice cream options, aqua fresca, a couple of Mexican street food, and a few other options as well.
I tried water based : honey lemon lavender and cream based: strawberry & cream, & butter pecan.
I bought strawberry & cream - 1 scoop in a cup.
Even though the store says it was made fresh, I felt like I was having vanilla ice cream with milk nesquik strawberry powder added to it in the ice cream, which barely tasted like original strawberry.
The staff was extremely sweet and friendly.
I loved the ambiance inside the store. The interior is very well thought & feels very cozy / moody / romantic.
There is indoor as well as outdoor seating available.
Free parking is available on site.
