    Ice cream flight
    Liz M.

    We were looking for a new dessert place to try and the pictures of the milkshakes really caught my eye. I also saw they had bread pudding and so we decided to head over to check it out. The store is a decent size and has lots of tables and seating options. The menu was up on TV screens and had photos of the different milkshake options, as well as banana split, brownie sundaes etc. I didn't see the bread pudding on the menu, however I did see one sitting in a display off to the side so I do think they offered it. After noticing they offered a fruity pebble cereal milkshake I couldn't resist ordering that. They do a great job with presentation, lining the rim of the glass with fruity pebbles and also toasting to marshmellows before rolling them in fruity pebbles and adding them on top. My husband opted for the ice cream flight and was able to try fun flavors like waffles and syrup. The staff chose what topping to add to each flavor and the selections were spot on. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Really loved the dessert options, the only thing I didn't really love were the bathrooms as they did not smell very appealing. Everything else was good though!

    Black Rock Desserts have some of the best ice cream and sweet treats in Reno. Their banana milkshake comes with a whole chocolate covered frozen banana! Also love their crème brûlée!

    this place is really good and the ice cream is really creamy and pretty light. Overall, I like it I would go back and maybe next time I get a milkshake

    Fantastic dessert! Perfect way to end the night. The service was friendly and welcoming! The spot is cute and was decorated for Valentine's Day!

    Really appreciated their variety of flavors! They do especially well with the fruit-based flavors.

    Best ice cream I've ever had and the workers are always amazing, super-friendly and very knowledgeable. Always a must-stop place for me when I'm in town for work.

    Came here on a Friday night and there was a few people in here so the service was great and got the sample the ice cream. The ice cream is always a blast to sample and very creamy. The waffles are made fresh, they have a ton of toppings. The flavors were delicious and flavorful.

    We stopped for a small snack at Black Rock Desserts which specialized in uniquely created milkshakes, and we shared the Trash Fence, and it was amazing. They also had a lot of fun games to play onsite. They pride themselves on out of this world scrumptious ice cream and outrageous desserts handcrafted daily from available local ingredients.

    It was ok, it lacked toppings that are typically in ice cream places like hot fudge or Reeces cups, the chocolate shell is different though. Tried the brownie , it was dry and probably should be heated up, the deep chocolate ice cream was good . Overall I would not rush back. The service was great though and she was pleasant.

    Honest food rood review: Need a place to cool down for the summer? Look no further! 5/5 Wanted to give the business owner and his Black Rock Dessert shop a drop of recognition for this beautiful flight of ice cream! Not just was it delicious with 4 different flavors, but was priced competitively as well as priced right for the flavor! With the combinations we got, I would say the Cinnamon Toast Crunch was everything I could have asked for from an ice cream. It was delicious and just the perfect consistency for ice cream. Rich, creamy, and just overall wow factor from this cold treat. Located near the river this is definitely a spot you don't want to sleep on. I'm glad we stopped by to give them a shot, definitely made a client out of us and you'll be one too!

    Good ice cream, very fun and festive concoctions. The service is great and the inside is nice and cool too. The kids really like coming here and getting all the different creations.

The owners Jennifer and Michael Henry make you feel like family. The customer service and attention to "your experience" made you feel like royalty. I had the chocolate eclair and it was scrumptious.

    We stopped in to Sierra Nevada Bakery and Creamery for a little afternoon treat after a nearby…read moreshow. I was surprised to see this place as I've driven by this strip of businesses many times and never noticed this particular spot. They offer homemade treats, but mostly ice cream. They have an almost unmatched selection of non-dairy ice creams and sorbets. A nice surprise. The gentleman helping us was very nice and gave us a full rundown of how they make everything in house. He offered samples and suggestions. I sampled the flavor of the week, Lavender Honey Matcha, and the coconut cream coffee. My kids decided on the mango sorbet and the classic strawberry. Everything was delicious. The coconut cream ice cream had great flavor and texture given that it was non dairy. My wife and I decided on the matcha flavor of the week. It was very refreshing. The strawberry had real chunks of strawberry which is always a treat. My biggest critique is the texture of the ice cream. This stuff seemed very crumbly. I prefer a much more "chewy" or "sticky" ice cream if that makes sense. This stuff was more "dry" and less "creamy". There are some other local shops in the area that make great ice cream exactly how I like it, which is the only reason for 4 stars. I'm not sure this would be my top place for ice cream again. The smallest "one scoop" size is actually nearly two full scoops. Could be a good thing for some, but a kids scoop is always appreciated for my toddlers, especially a a slightly discounted price. That is not an option here. There are a few small tables inside to enjoy your treats and lots of to-go options which is always nice. The place was clean and well decorated. It was steadily busy while we visited, indicating that this place is likely here to stay. Overall, worth stopping in if you're in the area. The flavors are unique and tasty and the non-dairy selection is fantastic.

They also sell soaps and bath products shaped like realistic desserts, which I love and thought were such a cute touch. My daughter chose the pink strawberry ice cream with the pink strawberry cone. The flavor was great. It tasted fresh with real pieces of strawberry throughout and nothing artificial-tasting. I also liked that the cone itself had strawberry flavor woven into it rather than just being dyed pink or coated in toppings. I originally planned to get a second flavor to try, but the single scoop cone was over $10 so we decided to just share. We also came after seeing an Instagram post about their seasonal Lucky Charms cone and thought it included the ice cream shown in the photo, but it turned out to just be the cone. The advertising appeared to be made with AI and, for that reason, was a bit misleading when it came to representation of the ice cream available. Parking was probably the biggest challenge. The lot is very small and with the one-way directions in the lot, and around the block, it took a bit to find a spot. Inside there are only a few seats. There were four stools at a counter, and with another family there we ended up sharing a single bar stool. The bright interior makes it a place you want to hang out, but the limited seating makes that tricky. Still, the ice cream itself was very good and it was a fun outing with my daughter.

Tucked inside the Reno Public Market, this hidden gem features a menu with fresh froyo, smoothies, crepes and other sweet treats. I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable their froyo was (especially considering the inflation of prices at commercial froyo places), and how each cup comes with THREE free toppings! The flavor menu is quite limited, but we LOVED the pomegranate raspberry flavor, which is dairy-free, and didn't taste artificial at all. The only thing I think can be improved on is the service - the employee working seemed more focused on aesthetics rather than providing good customer service. While we were there, we were waiting for her to adjust her Christmas lights/decor and take photos (presumably for Yelp/social media). I'm a camera eats first gal so I totally get it - but that can probably be saved for after the customers leave. Nevertheless, I appreciate how she took a lot of care to carefully make our froyo, and didn't skimp at all on the yogurt or the toppings!

Delicious ice cream sandwiches with fresh baked cookies and scoops of ice cream as well as waffle cones and kid sized cones with ice cream. The more impressive part of Lazy Sundae is their execution. Despite crowds, they expertly churned out ice cream sandwiches and ice cream scoops of multiple flavors (Blueberry, Strawberry, Vanilla Bean, Chocolate, Mint Chocolate, Birthday Cake) and numerous cookies (Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip). Our order: Snickerdoodle Cookie Sandwich with Vanilla Bean - super fresh cookie with a huge scoop of delicious vanilla bean ice cream. I'm not sure if they outsource or make their own ice cream but it's high quality. Super soft and fresh snickerdoodle Cookie. Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwich with Strawberry Ice Cream - huge chunks of strawberry and a very fresh peanut butter cookie. It's delicious! Mint Chocolate Chip with Waffle Cone - Surprisingly the ice cream looks almost like vanilla and has no trace of the radioactive green color you see in most store bought mint ice cream, but the mint flavor is strong and unmistakable as well as a perfect match for the delicious chocolate chips. Overall, I was super impressed with this ice cream truck. Quality was phenomenal and every flavor was superb. Highly recommended!
