“This Deluca Gelato provided the Gelato and Sorbet for our daughter's wedding on May 20th at Jolene winery..The choices were so great and the texture of the Gelato was incredibly smooth and silky. They were the perfect desserts for a perfect spring day wedding. Everyone was so excited to see that little Gelato mobile cart parked outside the dining hall. The guests enjoyed the treat very well and we are very Thankful for their service in this event. We highly recommend this place for your needs. You won't be disappointed.“

“Love the blue cow. Today I had chocolate chip cookie dough. So disappointed, no cookie dough or chips. Just vanilla ice cream. I told the server and she said I wasn’t the only one to complain about this.“

“Yum! The Rocket is a must.“

“All I can say is "Yummy"!!!! Staff was very friendly. It was neat to see the ice cream being rolled“

“Dalia's is our neighborhood bakery and ice cream store. Everything is made on site. Lovely welcoming and clean store. Everything is delicious!“

“I cannot express enough how amazing Sweet Tooth Ice Cream is! We wanted to throw a very last-minute mini celebration for our employees — literally with only 24 hours’ notice — and hoped to have an ice cream truck come by after lunch. Nikki made everything happen seamlessly and was able to get us scheduled on such short notice.

Everyone was incredibly kind, professional, and accommodating, and it ended up being a huge hit with our team! The ice cream was absolutely delicious, and the entire experience made our employees feel so appreciated. Thank you again for the quick turnaround and outstanding service. Highly recommend Sweet Tooth Ice Cream for any event!“

“Truly the #Just Ask. You won’t regret the decision.“

“lovely atmosphere and delicious ice cream.“

“Truly the #Just Ask. You won’t regret the decision.“

“Super friendly and fast service!! Our first visit and staff was very helpful!“

“I just discovered The Treat Shop at the front of Woodlake. The plain glazed donut was delish! Customer service was also fantastic. We will definitely be going back. Next time we might try the milkshakes.“

“Favorite place to get ice cream because VEGAN SOFT SERVE!! They have awesome seasonal items that change regularly. My personal favorite is National Watermelon Day. Always delicious and hits the spot. The parking lot is small but there’s always at least one spot. Make sure you go early when they have the limited items because they will run out!“

“I love the non dairy options. The customer service is usually awful but the good ice cream cancels it out for me each time. 🤣 They need training, they treat you as if you ordering bothers them. No smiles no greeting just tilted heads and attitude. One lady was so dismissive to us and had the nerve to make us wait while she trained two girls on milkshakes. We were like hello and she literally ignored my husband. 🤭 5 stars to the non dairy ice cream though.“

“I absolutely love Jeni's. Before they even had a store in my location, I used to have it shipped to me. Here's the thing, I live well over an hour from the nearest jeni's and all of their cool flavors makes me want to drive up there often to try them. Especially since they don't offer those flavors at Whole Foods. The ONLY thing that sucks or is lacking is that there is NOWHERE for customers to sit or relax while eating their ice cream. It's actually weird because literally every other business in carytown has outdoor seating, even the smaller businesses next door have a table or two. But not Jeni's, which makes no sense. You have nowhere you sit and enjoy your ice cream. After driving over an hour, I'd like to sit and enjoy my ice cream. But oh well.

The flavors are so fun tho. I have strawberry pretzel pie and watermelon taffy. I had originally come up there for the bubble gum, hoping that it reminded me of the nostalgic version of baskin robins, but it didn't.

I tried all of the new summer flavors and they were pretty good. Toasted s'mores is probably what I'll get next time. The marshmallows in root beer threw it off for me.

Love this place despite the lack of seating. The servers are always so pleasant.“

“A great staple to Carytown! We recently walked around after dinner and were drawn in by the delectable smell from the street! I got cappuccino chip & salted caramel. Husband got mint chocolate chip. We both got the waffle cone bowls. OMGGG it was so delicious!“

“the best icecream around! I am from Wisconsin and every time we are in Virginia Beach or Richmond we visit!“

“We went to another location that was closed and called this one ahead(Sunday). This time we called ahead and they were open! We drove further with our newborn and our twin boys only to find out that neither of us had our wallets 🤦🏽‍♂️ slightly annoyed, I grabbed the keys to head home so we could pay. The manager recognized my wife’s voice and understood we already drove to another location to be let down and offered take care of our tab. This is such a blessing, it’s already hard get out of the house when you have a baby, and it turned everything around just from their recognition of what we were experiencing already. Glad we came to this spot, the kids loved it and we highly recommend visiting if you’re in - or even outside of the area!“

“Last Saturday morning, we had an ordering issue error which was caused by our teen. I spoke to the manager (if I remember correctly, her name was Faith) and she could not have been any nicer or more professional in straightening out our problem. Crumbl is lucky to have such a pleasant person working for them, and taking the time to help me out....
And the cookies are delicious as well (especially the raspberry one!} :0)“

“Where can I find grape sugar free Popsicles around 77503 area. Those were the best when I was in the hospital and I can't seem to find them anywhere. Ty!“

“my guys load up on toppings.“

“Amazing service and nice people. Can’t wait to get one of the cakes for my birthday.“

“Lovely place, lovely people, and lovely tea of course 💕.“

“I had them do 24 cupcakes for my Mom’s 75th birthday and they not only looked amazing, they tasted amazing! I got so many compliments on how good they were and I definitely pointed them to Smallcakes!“

“Buen servicio al cliente y delicioso ☺️🍦“

“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm“

“I’m a bit disappointed! I came to get ice cream and funnel cake. The kitchen was already closed, well before the listed closing time and the cost of the ice cream for a single scoop was shocking. I know y’all have good food but I will be reconsidering coming back. 🥺“

“Guys. I thought I loved crossroads before. Then I tried their home made pop tart pastry? And I experienced a new level of limerance. This lil shop is crushing it. From their expansive selection of freshly baked pastries, delicious and perfectly pulled espresso shots and what I can only assume (will soon verify) is a scrumptious breakfast, they haven't disappointed me once. The barista was friendly and efficient, the girl who took my order was helpful, friendly, sweet and just happy to be there, saw her dancing around a bit, SO cute 🥰 This feels like an awesome place to be around, come check it out!!!

Beautiful little shop, friendly baristas and delicious Thai coffee! Perfect amount of foam and tender sweetness balanced by rich, bold espresso. Definitely making this my summer spot 💚“
