the chocolate sorbet was unreal 😋😋 it was so fresh and rich, highly recommended!!

Chocolate sorbet and mint chip are amazing, and the new seasonal flavor, Tea Time, is absolutely incredible. The only downside is that it’s seasonal—I wish it were permanent!

very disappointing experience. the texture of the ice cream was very grainy and creamy how it should be. the flavors were fine, but nothing special and there are few options. there are grocery stores with higher quality ice cream. my recommendation is to walk a few blocks and go to salt and straw. would not come back.
