“Black walnut is my favorite“

“Amazing little shop with the absolute BEST flavors, & this coming from a girlie who likes odd flavors as well as traditional. The Orange Dream is to die for yumm, the Amaretto Cherry is an almond lovers paradise & the Cotton Candy with some marshmallow & sprinkles made me feel like a kid again! I’m about to try their Lavender Dream tonight and am crossing my fingers it’s as good as another I had when I was living in NC. I just wish they had a Matcha flavor (that’s not too sweet!)☺️💚🍵“

“Best ice cream in Ohio! Stores are super clean and staff is always helpful and pleasant!“

“My twin niece and nephew always make sure to take Sassy for Mitchell’s when I’m in town, and this time was no different. I had this delicious chocolate brownie waffle cone, and it was yummy and fresh! The flavors are unique, and the cup and cone options abundant. If you don’t want scoops, grab a milkshake, and tap into your inner child to enjoy some good old fashioned ice cream!“

“A great location with a lot of options (something for everyone 🍦. The staff are always friendly, they move the lines quickly, and the prices are affordable. My favorite is the key lime or berry crumble. They even have already frozen options to pick up and take home.“

“When we went, there were 4 vegan ice cream options (though they were sold out of 1). We got the sampler trio to try the 3 available. All so good. The buckeye was fudgy deliciousness. My husband said it was the best ice cream he's ever had. We'll definitely go back.“

“It’s a charming ice cream spot in a plaza with lots of flavors, shakes, and pops. Everything looked great. My friend got a root beer float and really loved it. I had blueberry ice cream—it was a good portion and tasted delicious. The customer service was great!“

“What a great shop! Loved visiting during my time in Cleveland!“

“I just had the Extreme Oreo ice cream, and it is the best Oreo ice cream I have ever had! Can't wait to try more of their flavors!“

“Got chili dogs and fries. The dogs were good, except for the fact they use white onion, which is much hotter and has a different taste than Spanish of red onion. If I would have known, I would have tried different toppings. The fries were good but nothing special. I would go back because the staff were really nice.“

“Love this place. The malted flavored tastes just like the old May Company downtown many years ago.“

“I’ve been going to Daisy’s since I was a little girl. After the spring musical when going to the school up the street, during the summer on a hot day, and even now. So many memories. I have gotten the same things after all these years, which is vanilla soft serve in a cone with a crunch coat. I have not been able to find it anywhere else. No photos for reference as it is always devoured before a picture can be taken.“

“lovely staff ..plenty of flavours to choose from ..yummy“

“Not a big Boba guy but this location and it's flavors hit the spot. They have all sorts of lemonade, milk tea, and a wide assortment of Boba. I personally get the banana bread milk tea and brown sugar tapioca Boba and it hits the spot.“

“The tall man that works here, I’m sorry I don’t know his name! He always gives me the BEST service out of all your employees, I really feel like I’m getting personal service. (which doesn’t mean the rest are bad!)

He’s amazing, and always makes my order perfectly, and honestly might be the main reason I keep coming back. Keep up the great work, and keep making great ice cream 💎❤️“

“Came in the night before my birthday to pick up a cake. The lobby was closed but my cousin was standing on the bench outside pointing at the cakes. Security came out and we were able to get a cake at the last minute. Ive been coming here for years and they have one of the best services ever!“

“The ice cream truck really helped make our event successful!“

“the large milkshake i $5.15 and i its so huge and good“

“If you find yourself in Cleveland Ohio, I recommend you stop in.“

“I've been going here for years and have never had a bad experience. Only in recent years have I had their food; again, never disappointed. However, my last visit offered the absolute best bannana split I've ever had. I'm 60 and I've had many, but this one set the bar.“

“Dairy Queen ice cream is always great. I had a cupcake for the first time which of just a mini dq ice cream cake and omg, what an amazing idea. Delicious!! It's a party for your mouth without needing a party for everyone else.
I would have left 5 stars but their drive thru line is terrible. Super tight corners and very tall curbs. Not car friendly at all.“

“My cookies initially we're lacking the strawberry topping. I asked if they could be touched up some and the employee was so nice about it! I told her it's the best part and she agreed. I really appreciated her kindness. The cookies were perfect and absolutely delicious.“

“Their ice cream creations are amazing visuals that taste delicious. Family Shop, small and quaint. Service is ok, but ice cream is GREAT!“

“We went last night for our anniversary... Kenya was our server... 5 stars Kenya! the food was to die for! The service made you feel at home having dinner with family! Ian Baggs was hilarious, as usual! I forgot the name of the opening comedian, but he was hilarious as well! I'm so happy I found this place, and it will be our regular date night spot!“

“The ice cream. Their lemon custard was delicious and the service was good.“

“Best cookies ever and y’all work so hard! 🍪THANK YOU!“

“Always very good service! Cookies always look great! Last week however, (not the workers fault though) online it said on Tuesday (very early like 3am) that they still had the biscoff Dubai brownie (sometimes they have them leftover from previous week) but I ordered it online for pick up in morning…. Mind you getting Dubai anything costs an extra $1.50… I ordered 3 & when I got there they told me that they didn’t have it bc it was for previous week. Every other store online didn’t have it online shown but they did. I ended up picking 2 cookies that weren’t anything I wanted but I never got refunded or anything. I spent an extra 4.50 for the Dubai brownie but was still owed $ for the other one I didn’t get. Super bummed“

“My fiancé and I want to thank the entire staff at Vero for an AMAZING experience! The pizza is by far some of the best pizza I have ever had in 40+ years! I will gladly come back from NJ to eat here again! My compliments to the Chef and the staff. We now have a home away from home. As we Italians say GRAZIE TANTE! 🇮🇹🙏“

“Thank you Naomi for making my experience wonderful! I went with my wife for the first time and it was beyond expectations. Naomi, the young girl helping at drive through was friendly, quick, and efficient. I watched as she handled multiple customers with all different needs all the same.
She informed me she hadn't even been working there for long! Amazing!

My wife and I got a sundae and a cone, both of which were very yummy. The custard isn't too sweet, isn't too liquidy, it's just right. It's perfect.
Due to my wife's recent surgery, life is hard on her, but with a little bit of kindness and understanding from Naomi she made my wife feel human again.

This is the type of worker you need to have at every establishment. Thank you, Naomi.“

“I went in to order cupcakes for my son’s birthday, and the owner was gracious enough to accommodate my order despite their two-week notice policy—I needed them in just a week. While deciding on my cupcakes, I treated myself to a funnel cake, and it was absolutely amazing—delicious, melt-in-your-mouth perfection! It instantly took me back to all the places I’ve ever enjoyed a funnel cake.

My cupcake order turned out fantastic, and my son and his guests were thrilled. A wonderful experience all around—very happy customer!“

“I had me a Carmel Ribbon Frappe. Really good. I can't make it home with the cookies I eat all of them.“

“I visited The Sweet Spot after seeing their Croffles online and just had to try them! I ordered the strawberry croffle along with the twisted ice cream (matcha & ube), and both were delicious! The croffle had the perfect balance of chewy and sweet, and the ice cream flavors paired really well together.

I was a little bummed that even though the menu listed several croffle topping options, only strawberry and chocolate/almond were actually available. Hopefully they expand the selection soon, because I’d love to try more next time!

The shop itself is super cute, but it was pretty warm inside—it felt like the AC wasn’t running, which made it a bit uncomfortable to sit and enjoy the treats.

Overall, the food was great and I’d still recommend checking it out if you’re in the area and want something sweet and unique!“

“I love this place! Parma has great employees that are always smiling and so cheerful. The cookies are heavenly!“

“Drive-thru always quick, always done right!“
