    Small batch ice creams and sorbets. All made on site. Delicious flavors. Many seasonal flavors featuring the bounties of nearby farms. Super fun late summer night hangout.

    Ice cream is incredible and they have an awesome selection of flavors, including a substantial rotating menu of seasonal offerings. The guy who served us was so kind! It was my kiddo’s birthday and he comped the price of the ice cream. Super sweet of him! Only ice cream place we’ll go to in Fresno. A Visalia location would be awesome lol

    Absolutely delicious - some of the best ice cream I've ever had. It was hard to choose because everything was so delicious. I had dark chocolate, blueberry honey, peanut butter chocolate, caramel whiskey and Bordeaux. (Not all in one day). Friendly and knowledgeable staff. And I love their dino mascot.

    Came here after work, loved it. Got the- Eggnog flavor- rich, heavy, creamy. Good spice. Poached Peach flavor- savory, sweet, actually tastes like a poached peach. I also liked the fact that it seemed the shop was in a nice historical looking part of Fresno that made me feel like walking around as I at my ice cream. It definitely added to the experience for me.
