The staff is amazing especially Joe , He made sure everything was going great and he made my order as if he was making a masterpiece and truly it was fabulous. Will definitely go back there every time I get a chance and thank you Dream The la Cream❤️“

“The ice cream flight is perfect to share and try new flavors“

“Adorable atmosphere and delicious dessert. I had the donut puffs and they were delicious. My sister's had milkshakes and both were over the moon. Will def be going back if we come this way again!“

“Delicious! Friendly! Convenient!“

“Amazing team! Made our twins’ birthday very special on very short notice. We’ve loved coming for sweet treats but absolutely recommending now for celebrations. Thank you so much again, Katie, Hannah, Ellie, and Sweet Frog gang🤍“

“On Friday night, we had a big group of runners that really wanted ice cream. Kilwins was closed, but they saw our group and let us in! The girl that waited on us was awesome and patient. Very thankful! We are from Ohio and really enjoyed the ice cream. Highly recommend. They could have turned us away, but they didn’t and that is rare now a days. Next time we are in VA Beach we will definitely come back.“

“We had my son’s birthday party at the Town Center location and it was awesome!! It was easy, fun and the gelato was delicious!“

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

“Staff was very friendly, I got the chocolate abuelita ice cream flavored milkshake and it was really good. Would love to stop by again with some friends! 😃“

“best ice cream in the state“

“The best, authentic shave ice this side of Kauai! Delicious flavors and the friendliest staff, we are looking for excuses to go to Va Beach so we can get more!“

“On our first trip to visit family in VirginiaBeach, we were looking for an ice cream place. Came across Gillys's Cremery. We are very particularly about Ice Cream. Gilly's did not disappoint. Every flavor we have tried is delicious. Your first spoonful or lick of your icream and you can tell the ingredients are a high quality and made with knowledge. Love their ice cream!!!!“

“I had a great experience at the Crumbl location in Pembroke Town Center. The staff was incredibly personable, welcoming, and friendly from the moment I walked in. My order was prepared quickly, and the cookies were fresh and delicious. Customer service can make all the difference, and the team here really made the experience enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back to try more flavors!“

“This is our favorite Rita’s location. We are frequent customers! With the power outages last night, Danni did an outstanding job with keeping things under control while she had a huge line. We love coming here! ❤️🍦“

“My lil' secret. I get a box every day after work and eat 'em on the way home. My wife doesn't understand why I'm not hungry for dinner, or why we can't afford groceries for the kids till she was looking for something in my car. Oops! 25 empty boxes on the backseat. I'm headed for divorce court, but I don't care because CRUMBL will always be there for me.“

“Had peanutbutter chocolate yesterday. It was very good (y)“

“The staff were so friendly and very generous with their portions! We told them about a food allergy and they made sure to specially accommodate by scooping from the bottom of the trays with new utensils. Ice cream was delicious as expected ?“

“Another happy place in Sandbridge!
Sugar Shack is locally owned and operated by delightful people who care. If you see a big crowd at Sugar Shack don't worry the crew will get you served quickly with a smile and kind word. They have the traditional favorite flavors plus a great variety of unique must- try flavors.“

“Fast / Friendly service Always clean“

“My husband and I wanted to do a low-key gender reveal with Coldstone ice cream instead of cake or cupcakes. When we first called the Greenbrier location (closer to us) in Chesapeake, we were told “no, not really we don't do that”. Disappointed, we called the Lynnhaven location, and I’m SO glad we did!
Faith answered the phone and immediately knew what we were asking for. She said she’d done gender reveal requests before and was happy to help. When we arrived, she and her team walked us through everything: flavors, toppings, and even finding out the gender alongside us. She made the entire experience so special and stress-free.
This is how you train and empower employees! We left with full hearts (and ice cream!) and will gladly drive the extra distance to come back to this location. Highly recommend the Lynnhaven Coldstone to anyone.“

“So good we ate there 3 times in 6 days. Very friendly staff serving great pizza. Had leftovers for lunch the next day. Tried lasagna one day and it was excellent and of course had leftovers for later that night. Wife tried ham and cheese sub that was very good and took half back to the hotel. Eat in or take out which was convenient as we stayed right across the street. They have subs, pizza, calzones,hot dogs, burgers etc. Large selection of ice cream also . If you can't find something to order you aren't really hungry.“

“My husband and I stopped by on our way home. We've driven past multiple times, but since we were hungry this time, we figured we could try their pizza. We came in around 2pm and it was pretty quiet, which was nice. Our server Katie grabbed our drinks, took our orders, and was polite and friendly. The fried pickles tasted fresh, briny, and delicious. The pizza was good with a very tasty crust and tomatoey sauce. The cheese and pepperoni were good. I probably wouldn't order sausage on our pizza again as it didn't taste like Italian sausage, but almost tasted like breakfast sausage, being too sweet. The only downside to our meal was the group of servers standing around to loudly gossip in the hallway right next to the dining room. And the group of children that came running out of the game room in the back rattled the entire room, sending our table and booth to shaking. We'll be back to try them again and look forward to the garlic knots we keep seeing mentioned! Food: 3.5 out of 5 Service: 4 out of 5“

“I ordered 2 types of Bahn mi. There was little to no meat on either sandwiches. I asked for extra pickeled items it was basic of what I get at other restaurants and they charged me 1.25 for extra. only one tiny spear of cucumber. I loved the reviews but was highly disappointed with the out come. the restaurant less than a mile away is much better mommy mom was 100× better and offer more vietnamese food.“

“This is a Virginia staple. I've eaten here for 40 years. They have the best banana barges and chocolate walnut ice cream. Over the years, they have had some questionable employees and management. However, the current employees and management are steller! Highly recommend this location!“

“Delicious cookies a very nice treat. I waited for a long time for them to open a store in our town. I am not disappointed.

Parking: Easy to find a decent parking spot. If all of the spaces are taken, it will not be long before when opens up.“

“Usually love this Rita’s, the staff is awesome and the owners are super sweet. Tonight we had a not so good experience. We showed up at 9:50, they close at 10. We waited about 5 minutes for someone to come to the window, as we waited the staff made eye contact with us a few times before even acknowledging that we were there. They were cleaning up as they were about to close, all the machines were broken down. After someone finally came to the window, we were greeted with annoyed staff for us showing up 10 minutes before closing. I wouldn’t have written this review if someone would have said “ sorry but we have cleaned up shop and aren’t serving anymore tonight”. I would have been completely okay with it! The open sign was still on, so I’m not sure why there was a problem, I have family in town that are leaving tomorrow and they wanted to come to Rita’s one last time. Sorry for the inconvenience!“

“Fantastic place for a sweet treat. They have a wide range of selections, plenty of seating, and friendly staff. Their ice cream is to DIE for, and don’t even get me started on those delectable waffle cones. It’s also close to the beach and boardwalk so right after grabbing some ice cream you can go ahead and check those spots out. The location is very convenient, close to other shops and tourist attractions. Ben and Jerry’s has got to be one of the BEST ice cream places I have ever tried.“

“I have visited this location on several occasions, for several years now. This is the best Brusters location in the area. The employees possess a healthy balance of social skills and professionalism. The recipe for their icecream is always satisfactory. I noticed a few 1 stars in their reviews, but I have never had a bad experience here.“

“Uncle Harry's Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream Cake is one of those best 2's of life... If you have... then you Know... If you haven't... then you absolutely have to, and then you will want to eat at least two slices too... meaning also and as well!Seriously folks, If you have Family and there's any Leftovers of this cake, (and that alone would be shocking) anyway... you really should have a padlock on the freezer door, or you won't get any tomorrow.“

“Great flavors and nice staff.“

“We tried Ben and Jerry's before located at the ocean front My mom loves ice cream so I decided to surprise her with Ben and Jerry's for lunch. Mom commented on the serving size she received and was quite pleased!“

“This was delicious we loved her everything was arranged and nicely ordered it was beautiful and delicious this was one of the best ice cream places that I have been to! With so much friendly staff and overall a great experience with many wonderful COVID-19 precautions taken!“

“Honeydew bobba was soooooo goooood! You should try it😍“

“Great fro yo. Their iced flavors are so good for the summer!“
