    I tried the s'mores ice cream. Was SO good. Can't wait to come back and get more. So many different options. That are unique. Walk up window to order. Can park behind or right out front.

    This is the best ice cream I've had in my life I think . The flavors are unreal, the complexity of their offerings is hard to wrap your mind around. Whenever my girlfriend has a rough day at work we swing by and it makes her day better.

    We happened to be across the street visiting The Littlest Bake Shop and noticed this colorful little ice cream shop with window service. We got the Joy of Almonds vegan ice cream. Chocolate, crunchy coconut, and toasted almond slices mixed in. It was good, with a fairly strong chocolate flavor, a creamy texture, no strong overtones from the base, pretty sweet but not crazily so. The portion was pretty good and the price was fairly reasonable for things these days. They also have floats available! Plus some shakes and other items. Service was friendly. If you are strictly vegetarian AKA vegan, they only had one option when we stopped in, but it was clearly marked and good. Not just a boring sorbet like a lot of non-vegan-friendly places might have. Their focus is dairy based ice creams, but it sounds like sometimes they have a few flavors to pick from. They apparently even had a vegan waffle cone, it was a little on the chewy side, but tasty. Definitely worth a try if you are nearby.

    I don’t often write reviews but this ice cream was legitimately the best I’ve had in the city. Amazing! I had the matcha tiramisu and vegan almond joy. Both wonderful
