"I ordered the tiramisu crepe and it was absolutely delicious. It comes with freshly made crepe with cold brew mascarpone. I swear I ate it in like 2 seconds after a full dinner. I highly recommend.
My partner got the classic chocolate ice cream. It tasted very rich and bold. I think this place is def legit 👌"

"Wanted some ice cream so I went here. I got the honeycomb ice cream. It was very sweet, but the homey flavor was prominent. It can get quite busy, but this place is great for a sweet treat. Also wish the small cup were a tad bit bigger."
Melodic Kalimba
"Have been coming for a while now. Great ice cream and usually busy but the line moves fairly fast. Tried the blueberry corn ice cream and wasn’t disappointed. Love the earl grey ice cream but they were out of the honeycomb."
