Route 66 signs, Coca-Cola decorations, black-and-white checkered floors. Felt like one of those old roadside diners from the 1950s. Honestly, the place has so much personality, not just another ice cream shop. The people working there were super friendly and nice too, which made it even better. I kept it simple and got a chocolate scoop in a waffle bowl. The ice cream was super creamy and refreshing. The chocolate flavor was rich but smooth. Classic old-school chocolate taste, deep cocoa flavor with that creamy finish that stays on your tongue after each bite. The waffle bowl added a nice crunch and that fresh waffle smell made the whole thing even better together. Simple order, but it really hit the spot. Definitely one of those places you come back to just for the vibe alone.

We came in for shakes and left completely blown away. I had the churro shake, my sons had the banana and Oreo -- all three were incredible. Not your average ice cream shop shakes. These things are next level. The shop also has a very cool old school ice cream shop vibe. But honestly, what made the experience was the two people working. A young lady and a young man who were both so attentive, patient, and genuinely helpful. They let us try a few flavors before we ordered, walked us through everything, and never made us feel rushed. That kind of customer service is rare anywhere, let alone at an ice cream shop. If you're in the area and haven't been here yet, you're missing out. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

This is a cute little downtown area, and unfortunately, it's barren on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Which worked well for us as we showed up and no one was there. Just us, which gave us plenty of time to sample the various flavors, and chat with the person working in this cute little ice cream shop. They can make all these cute shakes and sundaes with all kinds of toppings, but seeing as we aren't young kids, there's no way we could eat confections such as what I listed above. Instead, we got to try their various flavors. Thinking back, I believe I got a watermelon ice cream. I could be wrong. However, I do remember how juicy, fruity, and sweet the ice cream was. Not sweet like overly sweetened lemonade that puckers one's lips, but like the sweet sensation of a perfectly ripe watermelon, bursting with succulent. flavor. It was like that. And man was it good! If I lived in Riverside or close by, I would be there all the time. So thankfully, we were out for a drive and wanted some ice cream and found this cute little shop. They have a few small tables inside, but what makes this a town square right out of the 1950s are the cute little wireframe tables and chairs they had outside along the sidewalk so you can sit and enjoy your cone, and people watch. And we did just that. If I'm nearby again someday, I'll definitely pop in and grab a delicious cone. There flavor options were plentiful, whimsical, and flavorful. However, for the time being, I'll just post this review and hope others pop in to enjoy the cones and flavors they're providing.

They make some great flavors, so I don't hate it, but I was also hoping to find something a little more homemade. And there are some places we've been to around that are great, like Cap's Ice Cream! But looking for something new on a Saturday night, I found Marciano on Yelp and let me say, this place is the real deal. It may be my favorite ice cream shop around (though I put frozen custard in a separate category). No gimmicky flavors here, everything I tried here is straightforward but excellent. I'm a fan of coconut ice cream, and they add not only bits of coconut in it, but roasted coconut bits! My kid's blueberry ice cream had bits of the berry skin in it! And I love that they use less sugar so the natural sweetness of the flavors really shine. The store is also super kid friendly, to the point that my little one was too distracted with the toys to finish their ice cream (though I think they also missed the cookies and cream on the menu and regretted it). A little far from home, but will definitely be back if we're in the area! Great local spot!

I had the strawberry ice cream and it was a little more tart compared to other ice cream shops I've been to. I actually really liked it because I was able to taste more of the strawberries. The tartness may be due to the lower sugar content, but it just tasted "healthier" to me! Everyone there was so friendly and greeted us with a smile. The prices were reasonable and their single scoop was very generous! I also loved how kid-friendly the shop was. They had drawings and coloring pages that kids had made displayed all over the walls. They also had plenty of toys and coloring books to keep the little ones entertained. The store was clean and brightly lit with cute ice cream photos decorating the space. I loved the atmosphere and how I felt while I was there. Definitely will be coming back!

They had the perfect amount of creaminess and sweetness, and the pumpkin flavor especially reminded me of fall. I really liked their outdoor dining area. You're surrounded by beautiful, elevated planters filled with flowers, which makes the space feel very inviting. I also appreciated that they use metal spoons for sampling their ice cream instead of plastic. Such a nice, eco-friendly touch! Great service, too! The only downside is that if you're unfamiliar with the layout of the mall, the shop can be difficult to find from the parking lot. My GPS kept telling me I had arrived, but I was still in the parking garage! Jeni's is actually a couple of floors above where I was. Other than the parking situation, I definitely will be back to try more of their flavors!
