★★★★★ 5.0 Cali M · Nov 2025

Love this spot! The selection is great and there are quite a few specials as well. There are endless possibilities when it comes to making your own creation, too. You can also get premise cakes and tubs of ice cream. It’s nice and clean inside with a quiet setting. The tables are small, but in a good way lol. Outdoor seating is an option here also, but there aren’t any table outside; just large benches. The bathroom was clean as well. Each of the employees were wonderful! They were pleasant to talk to and very patient. They make it all look so fun!

UPDATE: store manager Nathan called me this morning and apologized. He confirmed this wasn’t the way I was supposed to receive my order but it was an honest mistake by his employee. He apologized for the inconvenience and is making it right. Original review: Had a delivery order for a pint of ice cream and a Reese’s ice cream cup (separate item,not an add on like chopped up Reese’s toppings). Opened the bag and only saw the ice cream, thought they forgot the Reese’s cup. Took 4 bites of ice cream and realized they put the Reese’s cup inside the pint of ice cream. As you can see it took up over half the pint of ice cream. Again, this was not a topping of ice cream. The Reese’s cup was a completely separate item not related to the pint of ice cream. Ridiculous. Use common sense.

My friend and I got ice cream here and immediately when we walked in we noticed it smelled really bad. Like somebody had SERIOUS problems in the bathroom, and it was very disgusting. The walls were yellow in some spots? Not the right wall color… but the service and ice cream was amazing!!

Ordered this cake to celebrate a milestone in life and this is what we got… definitely not worth the $55. Disappointed is an under statement

When I heard about the waffle cones and bowls I had to go immediately. I ended up getting the chocolate ice cream (excellent) in a chocolate dipped waffle bowl. The home maid waffle bowl was 100% worth it and had nothing to do with other ice cream waffles I've had. On top of that the person who served the ice cream was really nice and offered a few ice cream samples until we decided. Great experience! I'll be going back soon.
