And I have yet to have a bad experience with any worker there. They are all so nice and diligent. I highly recommend trying them out and not falling for reviews that put down one spot that has been a neighborhood staple for years to recommend another place that just expanded to the valley. They have their own page for their own reviews. I really hate reviews like that. So I went ahead and wrote this to balance it out.

They apparently make everything in house. I don't have the biggest sweet tooth so I went for crème ice which was dairy free and much lighter than ice cream. It was $7 for a small scoop which was on the more expensive side. In all honesty, this place is okay. Nothing truly stood out to me about it. I was expecting a lot more given it has 4.8 stars and 500+ reviews. It lacked in the overall experience from walking into the door to the flavor itself. I don't think I'd go back, I'd rather just go somewhere else.

I was pleasantly surprised that they use a real espresso machine. The quality of the espresso definitely comes through. The ice cream flavors we tried all tasted authentic with no artificial aftertaste, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. The prices are pretty reasonable for the generous scoop sizes. Definitely a solid spot for great ice cream and a relaxed atmosphere!

My only qualm is how difficult it is to find street parking. Between the multitude of tempting ice cream sandwich and sundae variations, I decided to get the brownie sundae with their nanatella and hazelnut crunch chip flavors, plus Nutella drizzle. Both flavors were super yummy and creamy. The hazelnut crunch chip tasted exactly like a Ferrero Rocher. The nanatella was well-balanced without any artificial banana taste. I also sampled the ashta (rose water, orange blossom, and pistachio), which was good, but a little too floral for my cravings that day. My friends tried shakes, regular scoops, and cookies, and we all unanimously enjoyed our desserts! There are tables in the front of the store, a comfy couch area in the back, and some outdoor seating. Overall, a great place to come with friends and catch up!

You definitely don't want to get a giant cup of yogurt of a flavor you don't like. Bring them back please! Also, the serve yourself topping station is a little dicey. I preferred it when the employees did the toppings because it's just a lot of people touching the same things and cross contamination etc. etc. The yogurt is still as good as I remember though! The coconut, chocolate and strawberry are my favorites. Lots of toppings to choose from, from fruit to cookies and even mochi. It travels well if you take it to go! You pay by weight so keep that in mind when filling up your cup!

Their current storefront is a cart in front of Alfred Coffee on Ventura Blvd. Parking is a tad difficult but can be found on the street - free around the block if you like getting those steps in! While they do allow samples, it's difficult to select from so many unique flavors! Alas, I had their Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell and Walnut Baklava. My biggest surprise with the baklava. Having tried several baklava in the past, I often forego it because it's too sweet, heavy, and thick. While the taste was similar, I found this more soft and creamy which was pleasant. The second surprise was that chocolate shell, which was freshly frozen. I can't explain how amazed I was, I wish I got a video! For a small little cart, they really had many tasty flavors. The walls being pink really made eating sweets here very enjoyable. The staff were also very friendly and patient - 5/5 would come again.

That feeling never changes and it feels like a safe place to invite others to try some ice cream. If you come earlier and want to balance the sweetness with something bitter, they also serve coffee. The staff is wonderful and they treat you well. The ice cream or gelato flavors are a delight and there are some options. If you don't feel like walking outside with your dessert, they also have some seats inside. I once came with a group of 14 and we all managed to find seats, so you can make it work with what they have. Parking and holidays are probably the only thing that get in the way. Street parking is available, but you may have to park a few minutes away. I also remember this place being closed for a few days for religious reason, but there was no way to know until we went up to the storefront and read their note at the entrance.
