My partner and I came here for dessert and I was pleasantly surprised by our experience! We were able to try some samples and a single scoop of Geranium and Rooibos Tea. The Geranium was nice and floral, on the lighter but still sweet side. The Rooibos Tea had a nice warmth to it, it reminded me of Thai Tea with more spice. I asked the server what her favorites are and she said Orange Cashew and Rooibos, so I'm excited to try that next time. The place is small, but there is indoor and outdoor seating. The prices are a bit high compared to the serving size, but for very unique flavors, it is worth a try!

Fun little shop with funky flavors. Cash and Venmo only when I last went. Only 1 worker running the shop per shift afaik. The allspice and rose ice cream are great!

Molasses ice cream. Oh my God it was amazing. It was the perfect texture and flavor. Not frozen solid like a brick of ice, but a little softer which made it easier to eat on a cone. Not inexpensive. But well worth the money.

One of my preferred local ice cream spots. The flavors change regularly, so you'll always get a chance to try something new. They do limit you to tasting 2 flavors max, though I think you can't go wrong with any flavors you choose. Payment is electronic preferred (no cash) and they recently posted new hours starting May 2024. I highly recommend trying their housemade, waffle cones too. My favorite is the black sesame waffle - it adds an additionally nice layer of flavor and has the right crunch and mouthfeel to pair with the creamy ice cream. Ice creams are made well with solid ingredients. They can also make an ice cream sandwich, sundae, or root beer or cold brew float. Add toppings to your ice cream for $1.55 each (they have a taste-enhancing balsamic glaze that I recommend you try with certain flavors). You can also buy a pint for $16 to take home and savor your favorite flavor longer or share with others. This weekend I combined 2 flavors in one scoop in a black sesame waffle cone: garden delight (made with fresh cream and colorful, edible flowers!) and sage. Finished this all up before my delicious ice cream even had time to melt or drip down the cone!
