He was very kind and patient- he offered to give me a small sample of every flavor and I was blown away! It's not often you see someone in the service industry take time out of their day to be so kind.This ice cream is incredible- the flavors are bright with a hint of alcohol, perfectly balanced.Thank you for your time today Blake- I will be a lifelong customer. Currently going to lowes foods to buy every pint!“

“The ice cream was exceptional; however, the pralines were unsatisfactory. After consuming two pralines, I remained unconvinced that pecans were used; the texture suggested walnuts, and they were excessively soft. I would not recommend them.“

Their menu of waffle and ice cream treats is impressive, and the hazelnut waffle I tried was pure perfection—warm, crispy waffle paired with creamy, cold ice cream. The presentation was top-notch, like a little edible masterpiece. Got a chance to chat with the team, and their pride in their Turkish roots and craft really shines through. Absolutely recommend!“
