The ice cream was good but the slowest service I've ever seen. In addition, we saw one of the servers hand an ice cream cone to a patron, who after a minute, changed his mind. The server exchanged the ice cream for something else but rather than throw away the returned cone of ice cream, the server dumped the ice cream back into the tub of ice cream from the freezer. It's nice he was willing to accommodate the patron, but I wouldn't want returned ice cream I doubt the board of health would approve

Omg, so fun! Like an old soda fountain with homemade ice cream and other yummy treats. Your ice cream comes in a fun Chinese takeout box. We loved it and will be back!

Glad I finally got to try it out but I was honestly not that impressed. It was so hot inside of the store the employees had a hard time serving the ice cream because it was melting. My hot fudge sundae was a watered down mess by the time it was served to me. Like I said I'm glad I tried it but I most likely won't be returning.
