This is the only thing I miss about Buffalo. The black sesame ice cream with walnuts was 10/10! Will make sure to come here if I ever return for a visit
love this place and have come again and again for years. however, they need to clean up the customer experience in important ways.
last couple of visits included long wait times because there was only one person staffed trying to keep up with the crowd. also there is no helpful information on their website about their menu including pricing or specialty orders like cakes, pies etc. also, (last one) i have found actual hair churned into my ice cream at least two times and that’s something that shouldn’t be allowed to happen once.
i still stand by some of these flavors being the best i’ve ever had, but you have to have some self awareness too.
No dairy free option on the day of our visit ☹️
Although the menu and flavour options were impressive and the portions were great, I actually did not enjoy the ice cream. I tried the London fog and the black raspberry flavours. The biggest dissapppintment of the ice cream was that they were both gummy (likely due to added gums or stabilizers) and both scoops were super sweet - coming from a person with a sweet tooth! I understand some people might like their ice cream that way and would disagree with me but if you prefer a more natural mouth feel or hard ice cream, I would choose otherwise.
This place has great ice cream flavors & their specialty sundaes are not just delicious, they look awesome too!! Definitely worth stopping by on a hot day
If you want to up your ice cream game and even try something a little different, this is definitely the place to go. I can’t wait to try more of their creative and unique sundaes!
I love coming here for a little dessert! They have an interesting variety of ice cream flavors. The ice cream is very creamy and rich. There’s plenty of outdoor seating.
This place is my wife favorite spot to eat ice cream. They make the best ice cream I have ever eaten before. The worker is very nice and respectful.
very good ice cream, very busy but that makes sense for such a good ice cream place on a summer night
Large selection of flavors with super reasonable price and big portion. Love the sesame and earl grey ones.

This place offers a wide variety of options in local and artisanal ice-cream. It's very creamy and delicious. The staff was also very helpful for any questions you might have. It has a nice seating area especially when it's summer, the perfect vibe. You can choose to get it in cup or cone, one/two/three scoops and with additional toppings if you want. If you like try local and artisanal things, this is a must try.
Unique and delicious ice cream!!
So good, London Fog was delicious and so many other great sounding flavors, can’t wait until the next visit!
When in doubt, try the London fog. They shouldn't have stopped making the bourbon brown sugar flavor.
Coffee ice cream was great! Portions are massive.
