Hmm I came in for their seasonal bunny icecream cone where you choose 3 flavors and they add marshmallow ears and legs. I saw some photos on social media and it looked so cute. The worker was nice and patient but I think there was something wrong with the white chocolate lavender...it was melting at a crazy rate and perhaps making the strawberry shortcake the "bunny head" was a mistake (on my part?) since the eyes and nose didn't sit right. The cone ended up leaking too so I needed to ask for a cup to catch the drippings from the bottom. The marshmallows were also stale and veryyy hard. What a bummer bc I realllllly wanted to enjoy this! It was also $15 so not cheap for sure. I wish the presentation was slightly better/lived up to the posts from their instagram account. The taste was fine because I do enjoy their icecream. Last thing about price is that I just realized there was an option to just do 2 scoops for $12. Wish we were at least informed of that price difference and option. Kinda sneaky it wasn't posted or stated.

Amazing ice cream + donut but agree about understaffing / management. Given how long this store has been around (reviews from 5 years ago) and the popularity/location, seems unfair that workers are alone handling multiple responsibilities. The donut with lavender ice cream was amazing and we added mochi and split it. Would love to come back!! The ice cream is creamy and somehow gluey and the donut complements the cold ice cream so well and the flavor is very smooth and thorough. Closer to a high end coldstone in terms of creaminess and flavor depth. Loved the topping options (fruity pebbles, mochi, condensed milk).

Stopped by before dinner with a friend because we somehow always end up being too stuffed from dinner for dessert so we decided to be spontaneous and try things a bit differently this time. The place isn't huge when you walk in and only has a couple of seatings available. Good for that snack and go nights but not ideal for that catch up you've been longing to have especially on a crowded night. My friend and I tested a couple flavours before settling on the cruff with white chocolate lavender and royal milk tea topped with mochi (of course, since we're Asian) and almond for that kick of crunchiness. Not sure whether it was because we went later at night but the doughnut didn't taste as fresh as you'd expect.. however, the ice creams were amazing and quite unique for their flavours. I don't think I've ever had royal milk tea flavoured ice cream (reminisce of boba) or white chocolate lavender. If you're a fan of earl grey flavoured desserts or boba in general, I think you will love this place. While I won't deliberately go out of my way to come to this place, I'd definitely pop in if I'm in the area. For a couple bucks, the pricing was fair and not overpriced. Service was great and having had seen so many places with flies flying around, I commend this place for not having a single one.

Stopped by on a Friday night after dinner. The girls at the counter were friendly, welcoming and helpful! Cute place with seating available in the back. I got the ube coconut ice cream with condensed milk drizzle. It was huge and delicious, I didn't finish it all so you could definitely split this with another person. I kind of wish the donut was warmed but maybe this is better in the summer months.

I revisited this spot over the weekend after having been there before the pandemic. Stuffed Ice Cream is renowned for its popularity, having been featured on platforms like BuzzFeed and the Food Network. While it's currently only open on weekends, I've heard they plan to expand to daily hours come spring and summer. The variety of flavors here is always impressive, with options that push the boundaries of traditional ice cream offerings. One standout item is their stuffed doughnut, which specializes in cereal flavors. The bread, resembling a honey bun, wasn't exactly to my taste, but I thoroughly enjoyed the unique ice cream flavors and toppings it came with.

This was featured years ago on a show called Man Vs Food, and I went for the first time this weekend! I was pretty impressed with their attention to the little things and of course the different ways of enjoying your ice cream. I could be boring and get a cup, or get a waffle cone or regular cone. I did get a two scoop of red velvet cookie dough and birthday cake. Both were very tasty! My husband got a Cruff (which is like a donut sandwich type thing). He was pretty impressed and it was easy to eat. So why 4 stars and not 5? They're only open weekends in the winter, which is fine(I was there on a weekend lol). But there were two people in front of us, one person working and it just took way too long for what I thought were pretty simple asks. Thankfully we were able to get seating in the back of the shop which was pretty limited. I can't imagine how busy this place must get in the summer with the store being so small, and I'm Imagining little staffing too. But the kicker is...I don't like ice cream in the summer so I guess it all worked out for me!

*Need to hire more staff, the worker mentioned they only have 1 person per shift ( 1 person working the entire store ) and that’s very strenuous. Especially during the summer when it’s more busy… The staff there was great and the ice cream is good !

Stuffed Ice Cream has an excellent selection of flavors so opted for the bouquet to try a larger selection. The bouquet comes with 10 scoops, and since I didn't trust myself to carry it to the back without it collapsing on itself, they graciously assembled it in a takeout container. Their Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee flavors were my favorites- rich flavors and very creamy. The mango one was also refreshing. Service was quick and friendly, and there's a couple tables in the back if you're meeting with others.
Highly recommend this place for someone who likes ice cream. Loved the cookie monster ice cream

Google maps stated closed at 11pm, pulled up at 10:06pm and new guy wasn't having it after showing him what the hours online were. Even messaged his boss, unfortunately they suck too. He said he'd open the doors if I tipped $5 for each ice cream which I agreed to. Then said never mind and walked away, what a troll of a place with poor management

Yummm! After a stressful week, I was in a gluttonous mood and opted to try one of their stuffed Cruff's. It was surprisingly not as heavy as one would think; I went with the ube coconut and oreo topping; the donut wasn't oily or overly sweet. Would be open to trying them again and would recommend! Only con was slow service and not too much seating available but absolutely expected for this area.
