“This place is absolutely amazing. Everyone working was so kind, attentive, and helpful. Everything is very clean and the decorations are adorable. The ice cream was amazing. I cannot recommend the Ube enough. I’m sad I live over 4 hours away from here so I can’t come all the time but I’m so happy I decided to stop in so I had the chance to experience it.“

Hot Fudge was real deal ice cream was air tight dense so good. Tasted like premium top grade cream curious to know if ice cream uses eggs in it.“

“Great tasting BoBoa drinks, rolled ice cream, tayaki. Everything house made fresh upon order.

Friendly staff and family business. The coffee ice cream is freshly pulled espresso shot mixed with cream. And the drinks you can replace cow milk with oat milk too.

We haven’t tried the soft serve but I’m sure they are good too. Many flavors to choose from.“

“After managing various locations in different states, I’m really a critic when I come to a store. I can’t help it, I’m always seeing if things are how they should be. They had it going on during a busy Sunday in the holiday season. The counters were clean, the tubs were scraped, they were offering samples and the ice cream was tempered just right. Def a vast improvement from this location years prior. Proud of the streets of southpoint.“

“Have driven by so many times and finally experienced the outdoor dining last night on a beautiful evening. The food was delicious (even thought they had run out of the rice and beans we were excited to try - just a great reason to go back!) Loved the drinks we tried, and we even splurged with some ice cream at the end. Service was fast and friendly. Now we just wish we had gone sooner!!“
