The Story

This clean and cute shop offers an impressive, extensive menu of made-to-order treats, from custom sodas to hand-shaken milkshakes. Indulge in super smooth and creamy ice cream, perhaps Irish coffee or crème fraiche, and be sure to get their delicious house-made waffle cone.

    The shop itself is cute, clean, & nostalgic. The guys working were friendly, helpful, & authentic. The options were impressive & many - from build your own ice cream cookie sandwiches to sundaes, floats, & some incredible pre-made favorite treats. They also had yummy vegan options. We had trouble deciding, but were not disappointed! We loved it all. This was a great experience! Highly recommend!

    Great ice cream spot with strong old-school diner vibes 🍨. I ordered the coconut milk dark chocolate almond and also sampled the blood orange passionfruit sorbet—both were solid, especially the sorbet. My friends went for the hot fudge sundae and really enjoyed it. Overall, I’d give it a 6.5/10: good flavors, fun atmosphere, but not mind-blowing. I’d definitely come back for a casual treat, especially with my boyfriend.

    Came for a dessert after having burgers at Lovelus since it’s right across. Ice cream is super smooth and creamy and I rly loved both flavors I got (Irish coffee and crème fraiche)! Menu is also very extensive and loved the retro vibes of the place :)) P.S get their waffle cone it’s made in house and it’s amazing!!

    Superb ice cream, well-considered flavor combinations, and friendly, patient service. The old-timey soda fountain feel is fun, and quality is evident in every touch.
