    Always a wonderful experience. Staff is always very kind and knowledgeable about the different flavors. They also have great recommendations and pairings. Love that they have rotating flavors so you always get to try something new. They also have some OG classics they keep on there permanently. They have sundae options and ice cream sammies as well. Can't wait to see more of their summer flavors!

    Customer Sevice was decent. We ordered the salted honey blackberry and the peach pecan crisp ice cream. Both were really good. The flavors were subtle.

    This is an absolute MUST stop in Birmingham! In my opinion, the passion friut mascarpone ice cream is fresh sophisticated miraculousness. We all have a different favorite. This place is a creative and adventurous stop.

    If I could leave 0 stars, I would. I visited Big Spoon Creamery for some ice cream after a long day. Walking in, it immediately ruined my whole day. There were about 20 people, and they rushed to the doors as I entered, which isn’t a problem. However, the employees had attitudes and were rude to me, as if I was bothering them. Meanwhile, they welcomed the other customers with open arms, which made me feel some type of way. The employee who helped me pick my ice cream didn’t want to answer my questions about their specialty flavors. Instead, he looked me up and down like I didn’t belong. After I choose my ice cream and it was time to pay, I asked the cashier about the ad that drew me to the shop. She rolled her eyes and disregarded my question. When I asked her again, she looked around, looked me up and down, and said, “Yeah, I don’t know,” even though she could have simply asked someone else. She then proceeded to overcharge me and placed my change on the counter while my hand was out. When I asked for a receipt, she just looked at the next customer and said, “It’s on your email,” even though I never provided her with an email address.
