The only downside to this place is that there aren't more of them. Its hidden away. But the service was excellent. They treated my kids with respect. The service was quick and the folks working there seemed to be just as amazed by the experience as the kids were. The smokey theatrics as the liquid nitrogen was poured into the cream mixture was so fun! It gave us an opportunity to go home and learn more about the science behind it and other things that could be done with it. They were extremely accommodating with the kids icecream desires. And on top of it all, it was the best dang icecream I've ever had! So, go check this place out! And yes, I'm a real human unpaid for this review. Just really happy with this tucked away gem. I also noticed that they cater. The kids are going to love their next birthday! 😁

DELICIOUSLY SMOOTH ice cream. I got the salted dulce de leche. Perfect balance of salt (it’s black fyi). My partner had the Irish cream. I tasted it and it was the perfect balance of coffee and liquor. He also said it was good.

Very cool spot. They use nitrogen to make the ice cream in front of you which is fun to watch. Lots of mixing and hand work and you can tell the workers are hustling. Prices are around $10-15 for a bowl but the portions are big and SO YUMMY. If it’s busy, expect to wait about 10 minutes or so since each order is made fresh. The staff is young and friendly. Definitely a hidden gem and I’ll definitely be coming back to try more flavors.
