Great old-school ice cream parlor experience with great ice cream and innovative flavors. If you’re looking for a new flavor combination to try, I highly suggest ordering a two-scoop sundae (hold the hot fudge) with one scoop of Mexican Chocolate and one scoop of Horchata. The pairing of chocolate, cinnamon, and that classic cookies-and-cream vibe is absolutely amazing!

Busy place so expect to wait. Don’t forget to grab a number ticket. Limited parking in the rear. Staff is friendly and a small place with a bench or two on the outside. Ice cream options are plentiful. Taste test before committing. Overall, a good old school spot for old school ice cream.

Mitchell's is in my top three for ice cream brands/spots. They somehow make the perfect ube ice cream (for my tastes). It's not too sweetened that it overbears the taste of the yam, but not too bland, and with the right milkiness. I think there are actual ube bits in it, too. That's the flavor I've been getting ever since I first came, because it is just so good. What's even better is being able to take tubs of this stuff home. It's the best. They don't just offer ice cream, but also halo-halo, sundaes, floats, other treats and sweets. Their menu is so varied and even has vegan options! The only issue I see with Mitchell's is its limited space. There's hardly any room to stand during busy hours, both outside and inside, and there's no real seating. I guess it adds to its charm, though. Overall, 4/5.

Delicious flavors, a bit expensive though. Cones cost more money, so ask for a cup if you're in a budget. The ordering system is quite confusing and took a bit for me to place my order on a busy day, but they offer samples! I ordered the chocolate caramel crackle, which consisted of a chocolate ice cream base, caramel streaks within, and crunchy chocolate pieces throighout. I would recomned this flavor to big sweet lovers, who love chocolate. Large variety of unique Ice cream flavors and done well, decent portions
