“Hands down my favorite ice cream ever. Staff are warm and welcoming, ice cream is phenomenal, all around a delightful experience! Thank you, High Hopes, for all you do!!! 🍦 🍨 🎉🥰❣️“

“Best ice cream in Kansas City—a must visit.“

“My daughter and I go up for boba 🧋allllll the time!! She tries everything and I absolutely love the sparkling ✨ strawberry 🍓 lemonade with the strawberry popping boba! So so good! Their ice cream is amazing too!! ❤️“

“My family and I just got back from Sweet Cups! It's our new favorite ice cream spot. The owners were super nice and I loved looking at all the historic buildings and Churches on the way. Many of the buildings, including sweet cups (1940) were built in the early 1900s.“

“Our favorite! You won’t be disappointed!“

“We’ve never had a bad scoop! We love the flavor variety!“

“Everything! Everything! Yum“

“SO DELICIOUS! So fresh and yummy. You can tell they put their heart and soul into their products :)“

“Fav thing to do every week is get a box and taste test“

“Great flavor combinations and toppings!! Can’t wait to go back.“

“Product is always top notch. It’s the reason why people will wait so long to get it.

And that’s the reality. Due to a flawed process at this location, you will wait longer than need be. The counter person would take four orders and then walk away to make them leaving the window unmanned for nearly ten minutes. Customers coming to the window stood there for minutes with no engagement leading to a few simply walking away. Consumer dissatisfaction and loss of revenue on something that is easily correctable.

Is the product worth the wait? Absolutely. Could there be a better user experience? Most certainly

Best recommendation for this location? Use the drive thru. While the line looks painfully long, I was able to observe they were addressing - from start to finish - four drive thru customers to every one counter customer.

Don’t mind driving a few miles west? The next location on Barry road has always been the fastest Andy’s I’ve come across in the metro area. A few minutes of driving for a much better experience.“

“Locally owned and operated family operation, carrying on a family tradition! I took my nephew, who is 10 and a self-proclaimed shave ice expert: he loved the flavor options and the insulated cup inside the large-rimmed spill protector case combination — my backseat loved the large rim too! 🤣😂“

“I stopped here for dessert with my friends. The staff was very nice, and let me try a couple flavors before I decided what I wanted. I had a scoop of the triple mango and a scoop of the very berry strawberry. Both were good, especially the mango.“

“Finding the entrance was a little confusing, but the girl working was so sweet and good at explaining the froyo process as it was our first time here! I loved the low calorie option they had and the seasonal flavors were great! It wasn't busy, the tables were clean. Every topping you can think of. Would absolutely recommend.“

“Very nice and sweet customer service! Cookies are beautiful and delightful.

Parking: Very easy and spacious

Kid-friendliness: Services are kid friendly and willing to explain the easy process to kids. Very happy environment.“

“I go here often when I want real Mexican food. staff is always friendly, very clean, fresh, always busy! I normally get the steak street tacos and elote. absolutely love the food and the ppl here“

“I usually have bad experiences with restaurants and shops, but this place is a place to remember as the room feels like you're walking into heaven for cookies and more. AMAZING customer service and kept really clean inside and outside really makes you feel welcome. And the cookies are made just the way you order them. Makes me feel happy!“

“Ice cream was really good with great variety. Only issue was it comes out a bit melty. Not like custard usually does, since spinning the toppings in adds heat. It's a bit more than that even. Otherwise a great little shop for ice cream at what I felt was a good price.“

“Thee ONLY place to get MY “SNOWMONSTER!!” — #DrakeTheDrac 🦇))“

“My daughter was in the hospital and she wanted crumbl soooo badly. I ordered her 6 large cookies and oh my gosh they were AH-MAZING. I wish I could afford it more often bc I'd leave a rave everytime lol. For the times we can afford it, it's the absolute best treat. The cheesecake was to DIE FOR!!!!! she loved the sprinkle cookie. I wish I knew what the frosting was bc I'd make it for every topping on every desert I make. It's so worth it.“

“My family loves the ice cream at this place, they have so many different things to try. We have to step out on faith to try them because no one speaks enough English to explain! But it doesn't matter the language barrier makes this a fun place to really try new things.“

“Shout out to Barbara, she is just a wonderful person and good at what she does. We had the privilege of attending a fire works demo in Lawson and my kids spotted the ice cream van and Barbara just made it easy for the kids to pick what they wanted because there are so many choices! But we will definitely be on the look out for her again. Thank you!!

Kid-friendliness: From my experience Barbara made buying ice cream fun and my kids can't stop asking me to get them more from her lol“

“Love Love LOOVVEEE their ice cream. I ordered the 6 mini scoop option(scoops were still pretty big). My daughter and I had a difficult time deciding which was our favorite because they were all so delicious! I also ordered the chocolate chip cookies which were also amazing. I look forward to going back with the rest of my children. Thank you for your amazing service and the best ice cream I've had in a long time.“

“Food was super fresh and delicious. We are on our way back again today. If they had coke products instead of Pepsi I'd be there more lol“

“i just bought the bordo cherry ice cream .WOW!! it's super delicious. Also bought my other favorites, French vanilla and black walnut. I bought milk too. other products I buy often are yogurt and cottage cheese. Bellefonte is the absolute best.“

“Great ice cream ! Wonderful customer service!“

“The scoops are big and the ice cream delicious. Don’t let the cost deter you “treat yaself!” My son got the blue monster and i got the blackberry cobbler, we both loved the flavor we got! It was the perfect dessert after lunch at Habashi!“

“it's a real neighborhood place, Marlborough is coming back to life.“

“Great ice cream and a fun experience. They mix the toppings into the ice cream as you watch. It's really fun to watch. The prices are pretty high otherwise I'd rate higher. The ice cream tastes great and they have lots of choices. You can get samples in case you're not sure what it would taste like. They have pre made recipes or you can make your own. There are a few tables if you want to eat there.“

“Everything is amazing! Thank you for always making it a good time! Staff is always friendly as well and plenty of cute ducks to look through!!“

“The atmosphere was so so pretty it had pretty colors all over and cute little ice cream cones on the wall and more, there was also so so many different flavors of ice and food. The food was amazing and big for the price, the people were really sweet and ofc not the best with English but there was no problem for us asking for stuff, do not trust the people complaining for no reason, they were not racist my family is all white, mom and 2 kids lol. The only problem is most the place was Spanish so I had to go online for the menu and the internet wasn't the best but other then that little thing everything was amazing ❤️🫶“

“This popcorn is addictive. It is soooo good and if you're lucky enough to have NeeNee take care of you you're in for a sweet treat. What kind and fun your lady. She was very knowledgeable about the popcorn, very kind, and just fun to talk to. She made the experience great! We'll be back everytime we're in KCMO.“

“Simply loved it it’s amazing! ♥️Unique place here for prepared snacks here at Grandview. They also have decorations for Easter Mother’s Day etc🥰.must top by loved it. And the snacks are delicious♥️“

“Tasty Unicorn came to our school Field Day. It might be the best ice cream I have ever had. So delicious!“

“My grandson loves Culver’s!“

“Fun friendly staff and manager! Tilly my rescue loves going to the drive through for her pup cup! Today we went through the drive through the staff was getting super slammed and did a great job! I think the manager helped me get my favorite orange dream bars in stock! Thanks guys!! Sandy and Tilly(my snoopy rescue)“

“The Recovery Juice Literally SAVED ME! I started kickboxing again after a long break. I was fully expecting to be sore and tired the next day, but I stopped at Nekter and saw they had a Recovery option. My first experience with juicing so the taste took an adjustment. It was not bad at all, but you can taste every thing! My body is thanking me that I took the time, no soreness whatsoever! Unbelievable truly! I also tried the Chocolate/Peanut Butter Protein Shake and it was FIRE!! 😝 GO CHECK IT OUT!“

“I have to say that eating here was a bor. The food was bland, the burger was dry ( and ive been here a few times to see if it was just the day or the cook) but sadly its all bland food. I would say tasteless. The only redeeming quality is the root beer soda and some of the ice cream. But the overall food i would say meh 🤷‍♂️ I thankful I don't have to go back & eat it again.“

“Amanda, the Director of Operations, was so friendly and efficient. She was easy to work with to plan our corporate ice cream party. The driver who came was also very nice and the ice cream was delicious! Will definitely use Ice Cream on Wheels again!“

“Great ice cream I love the jackhammer’s“

“Who doesn't love this place? Fun fact: Did you know that Topsy's Popcorn Shop were the originators of the Cherry Limeade? Wellllll, even if it's not 100% true, I believed the person who told me, talked to the manager there for over 30 years and he confirms that they've made those drinks since 1977! Listen here, I tried it! The color was a lot more red than what I'm used to (Sonic and Braums) But it was DELICIOUS!!!! Go try it! Show him my pic and tell him Val Ford sent you! ???“

“The yummy latte is a great way to start the day filled with chores around the house! And it does pair well with hot dogs too, thanks for the suggestion in your review Sean! Wonderful staff and yummy treats. Always makes me and my friends happy to enjoy the treats they offer. Nutritional information is available on Andy's website.“
