★★★★★ 5.0 Chris Greenfield · Jan 2026

I gave them a couple of loose reference images, and they built an INCREDIBLE cake around it, far surpassing my expectations. And on top of that, they don’t sacrifice taste for aesthetic, it was absolutely delicious! The birthday girl said it was the best cake she ever had, and I couldn’t be happier. The shop workers are talented and so easy to work with, with great communication throughout the process. Not to mention, I literally slipped on ice and dropped it face down on the ground when I got home, and the cake still somehow survived and looked incredible. They must have some witchcraft going on or something! Thank you all!

The Hop West is a fantastic stop for anyone craving truly high-quality ice cream. The ice cream is incredibly creamy, rich, and flavorful, clearly made with care and top-notch ingredients. Every scoop feels indulgent without being overdone. The location is great and easy to visit, making it a perfect stop whether you’re out exploring or just treating yourself. The staff is friendly, upbeat, and welcoming, which adds to the overall experience. It’s a place that gets everything right

Came in from out of town. This is hands down the best ice cream shop I have ever taken my kids too. The guy working there is amazing and so friendly. The ice cream was amazing. The mocha Oreo is out of this world.
