They not only sell paletas but ice cream, mini pancakes, churros. Not feeling sweet they also have savory options like tamales. I tried 3 paletas: strawberry and cream, coconut and mamey. Overall the paletas were pretty soft, especially for the many and coconut one. The strawberry and cream was a bit harder since it had frozen strawberries in it. All the flavors were good but favorite was the coconut one.

Out of the blue, Pure Water showed up as a recommendation for me in Yelp a few weeks ago. We finally came here to give it a try on Saturday around 3:15pm. This place was listed as "Alkaline Pure Water" in Google Maps. It's inside an alley, next to a nail salon, in the middle of the Foxworthy Shopping Center. Signs to the store were very clear. There're no menus inside the store and we had a hard time communicating with the only staff there. We believed she meant single scoop in a cup or wafer cone was $4 and single scoop in a waffle cone was $5. Our daughter actually wanted a double scoop but only managed to get a single scoop of cotton candy because of the communication issues. I got a single scoop of pistachio, and my husband got a single scoop of banana nut. We all got our ice cream in a cup. There're some tables and chairs outside the store around the corner, and we enjoyed our ice cream there. While the serving size was pretty generous, the ice cream flavors were just ok. Banana nut was a bit better than the other two.

Although I was very thankful for the ice cream, the quality of the ice cream felt very average.

I came in pretty late, around 10 PM, and there was only one worker, so there was a bit of a wait. However, it was definitely worth it! They were out of esquites, which was understandable considering how many people were coming in at that time. The worker was very efficient and took her time preparing everything. I really appreciated that the food didn't feel rushed or thrown together. Everything I ordered was delicious, and I felt completely comfortable sitting down and enjoying my food. Everything was also reasonably priced, which made the experience even better. I would definitely come back again!

The ice cream tasted great, and one thing I really appreciate is how many flavors and options they have to choose from. There's such a nice variety that it can honestly be hard to decide what to get! Whether you're looking for something simple or want to try a different flavor, there's plenty to choose from. The service was also wonderful! The staff were friendly, welcoming, and nice throughout my visit, which made the experience even better. The ambience was great as well. It had a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere where you could enjoy your ice cream and spend some time relaxing. The only thing I would point out is the pricing. Ice cream has definitely gotten more expensive nowadays, and even just one scoop of ice cream costs about the same as an entire Starbucks drink! I personally find that a little pricey, especially when you're only getting a single scoop. However, the ice cream tasted so good that I still think it was worth the price. It's definitely something I wouldn't mind treating myself to every once in a while. Sweet Retreat continues to be one of my favorite ice cream spots. Between the delicious ice cream, the many flavors to choose from, friendly service, and enjoyable atmosphere, I had a great experience. I just wish the prices were a little more affordable, especially for a single scoop. Regardless, I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm craving something sweet!

As a dark chocolate addict, I've been wanting to try San Jose Candy Kitchen for some time. I hadn't…read morehad any chocolate for several days, so I decided to have some delivered today. I ordered my favorite, dark chocolate almond clusters, as well as English toffee, chocolate peanut clusters, almond bark, and chocolate hazelnuts. It was delivered quickly and everything was nicely individually packaged. The two squares of English toffee I ordered were like two bricks. Massive and covered in powdery almond pieces. They tasted good, but were too hard and thick. I prefer smaller pieces of toffee rolled in larger pieces of almond. I wasn't too impressed with the almond clusters or bark, either. It tasted okay and had lots of almonds in each bite, but the dark chocolate was overly sweet and tasted like the type of chocolate used in grocery store candy bars, even though they make it right there. The dark chocolate peanut clusters were the best item. They had a wonderful touch of salt that was so delicious. I would definitely go back for more of those. Next time, I'd like to try a caramel apple and chocolate dipped strawberries. Both look scrumptious on their website.

There were 24 different ice creams to choose from, as well as pints/quarts to buy separate. Cones cost more but nothing outrageous. The server was so kind and helpful and got us some samples.

My husband got a plain vanilla because he wanted to make an affogato. Unfortunately, happy scoops didn't have decaf but the did have regular if you're not affected by caffeine. This was a delicious experience and we will be back!
