The ice cream is always top-notch--rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Whether you're in the mood for a classic like chocolate or something more adventurous, they always deliver. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. It's also located in a calm, easy-to-access area, which makes it a relaxing stop whether you're with family, friends, or just out for a solo treat. One of the best parts? Unlimited samples! It's a great way to try something new without the guesswork. And the customer service is consistently friendly and welcoming, which just adds to the experience. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving ice cream!

It seemed like Mexico's version of a "China Town" or "Little Italy" in Hoover. I have not seen anything like this around here. My friend Tina and I tried Mexican sweets here, and I also had a snack of the Crazy Doritos. This place is very whimsical and cute. Perfect for kiddos and families. There is a ton of space too. They have ice creams galore here. It was hard for me to choose! I went for the prettiest one I saw and that turned out to be the Birthday Cake flavor. It was delicious! Tina had the mangonada that looked very good. I was wanting a salty snack too, so when I saw the Dori-Lokos or "Crazy Doritos" I knew I wanted to try it. The lady working there asked me twice if pork skins was okay for her to top onto them. I said sure. Little did I know what I was about to experience! They were actual pork skins that were like a cartilage or jello like texture. I assumed they would be like the crispy bagged variety you see in stores. It was an experience for sure! I liked it, but I probably would not order it again. The Crazy Doritos were also topped with a sort of nut that I liked, cucumber, and hot sauce. I just can't believe I was not in Mexico when I came here. I'm really glad we have places like this that can make some people feel like home and allow other to just have a different experience. It sure was memorable!

Actually, I have never seen it not a little busy even on Sunday afternoon so most of the locals don't blink at the high prices to get a taste of that deliciousness! We each were gifted a pint of our favorite flavor of the day by our top notch realtor, Sherri Williams ! This flavor was new to me "HEAPS OF LOVE" defined as "Anything and everything you can want! Oreos, brownies, cookie dough, pecans, caramel and chocolate ripples all packed into vanilla ice cream." How can anyone top that? It really is very very good! Hubby got their number one most popular flavor, a chocolate with dark chocolate bits & swirls. I think it was "Brownie Cascade": Classic, creamy chocolate ice cream exploding with brownie pieces, caramel cups and a sweet fudge ripple. Most creative flavor even has a trademark sign: "Exhausted Parent". It is "Bourbon-spiked espresso ice cream swirled with bittersweet chocolate chunks" That has to be my next sample! My only disappointment is that many of the flavors had "high fructose corn syrup" as a top ingredient. Not what one expects when they brag All natural ingredients! Taste is great though! This is one of the Cadillac luxury brands of American ice cream. Be prepared to wait in line and pay double the norm, but it's a must try!

I really liked the vibe as I pulled up. The guy working was very friendly and highly recommended the brownie sundaes, which we gladly obliged and ordered. Even though he was the only person working, he worked fairly fast and no one seemed to be in a hurry which made things all the more better. Prices were reasonable and you get to pick your brownie and all the toppings for the sundae. Don't forget the cherries...they are in the fridge. My guy got the butter pecan ice cream on his sundae, while I opted for the cow tipping flavor. The inside is fun and colorful and I vibed with the music playing from the tv. The brownie was very moist without being diabetic coma sweet. I really enjoyed everything about our visit and I can't wait to go again!

The website does not have pricing which is weird however it does seem that each location may have different pricing and that is what caused it. The quart of ice cream at this location is $15.99. I truly think it was a steal so def coming back for pints of the chocolate fudge ice cream. I selected a small cup with 1 scoop and I paid $8! I think it is priced fair but definitely on the more expensive side for 1 scoop. Everything is well organized. Just really great service and interior! Will definitely coming back again and again!
