    My son and I had some father-son time here for the first visit. We split a cookies and cream milkshake and he got a cup of Blue Moon. My cookies and cream was richly chocolate and delightful. I can’t remember the last time I could say that. We both liked our selections. They were creamy and tasted like they were made in a small batch as opposed to sourced from a large manufacturer. Their sign says as much. One of their team confirmed they make the ice cream on-site in the back. This place is a sleeper probably because it’s small. It’s bright white and feels ultra clean. They had quiet piano music playing overhead which added to the pleasant ambiance and wasn’t disruptive. *** have come back many times since and it’s getting more popular while maintaining quality and changing some of their flavors in and out. Very pleased with this place and the staff have great attitudes.

    Nice little shop with many flavor options. Prices seem to be a bit higher here than the chains. Sampled one of the more common flavors, one of the chocolate ones, don't remember exactly which, and found it to be good but probably not worth paying the higher price for. However, there were so many unique flavors that you wouldn't be able to easily find elsewhere that I believe is worth paying a bit more for if it is good. We ended up getting the ube honeycomb which was so unique and delicious. There were many other flavors we were intrigued by so we will definitely be back to try more in the future if nearby.

    Nice atmosphere and decent ice cream. I got the soy ice cream and the bourbon toffee and enjoyed them. They were both very mild flavors but still had character. The bright colors and decor makes the interior feel very modern.
