"worst soft serve ive ever had. I dont know how they did it but it tasted like tap water. Staff looked.very busy and were very pleasant, service was A+ just who knows what the deal is with the soft serve, avoid at all costs - the ice cream was decent"
Brandt Solovij
"Great place to on a hot day, by yourself or with the family. Very clean, staff is very quick to greet you as you enter a big verity to choose from. Strawberry & banana smoothie was my order 4stars just because it was more of a bland taste or artificial. Will give it another shot by ordering something else."
