That said, be prepared for a very limited selection of standard flavors. It's also definitely on the pricey side--expect to pay $8 for a single scoop, which feels a bit steep compared to the usual $6 national average. Worth a stop if you want a reliable, friendly spot to sit down, but keep the smaller menu and higher cost in mind.

He said we were lucky enough to get there on a day when there was no line normally there's a line out of the shop and onto the block. We went in and there was nobody.

This is such a cute little ice cream shop and I like how they don't have a Brazilian flavors but the ones they do have are super different. I got black cherry cardamom in a waffle cone.

They had fun combos like saffron pistacho, rose pistachio, mango and cream etc. we got the saffron pistacho and mango & cream split combo for $8.50 and hmmmm it was so good! Both flavors were distinct. I loved the mango one as it actually tasted like Indian mangoes and the pistacho one actually tasted like kulfi. The consistency is imo so much better than gelato. It's creamy and melts in your mouth. The ambiance is cosy, lots of people just hanging out like at a 3rd space. The attention to decor is really good, the walls and ceilings also have this classy look and feel. The service was great. They let me try 2 flavors, and my husband 1. You could also buy pints, if you'd like. Overall, 10/10 spot. Would 100% recommend!

My new fav icecream spot! I will literally drive an hour in traffic just for the soursop icecream. My first time was about a week ago and I've been back twice already. The service was amazing, the workers were so nice advising us what to try. They even let us sample whatever we were curious about. They are always adding new flavors so you never get bored of trying the same thing. My personal favorites are the soursop, sorrel, and rum punch. I took my friends and family and they all enjoyed it. It's nice to have an icecream spot that feels close to home especially when the servers make you feel at home. I would definitely recommend paying them a visit and trying something new. You won't be disappointed. read more

I was so excited to stumble upon this wonderful ice cream shop. My sister and I wanted some good ice cream so we thought we'd give this place a try. I came wanting the Guinness Caramel but that wasn't an available flavor of the day. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with their Nutmeg and Coffee Biscuits offerings; my sister had the Passionfruit Cake. The customer service was awesome and the flavors delightful! Will definitely be back! read more

Thick definitely does live up to its name the ice cream has filling to it thus making it thick.

One of the guys working offered us all samples and my group all made their selections. We enjoyed our variety of kids cups outside on on of the couple of tables. I had a single scoop of the vegan vanilla and out of everything we tried, this was my least favorite. It was good but I think I should have just opted for the fully dairy experience. The Early Grey Lavender was subdued in the best way, and what I should have chosen over Vegan Vanilla. Same with the Rooftop Honey, which was my partner's favorite. Really unique tasting!

My eldest daughter went with the Kinder Crazy Shake, and they definitely had a lot of fun and unique options to choose from. My husband ordered the Mojito Punta Cana and said it was just okay. The only downside for us was that it was pretty hot inside, almost like the AC wasn't on. It also took a few minutes for someone to come out from the back to help us.

I think the bigger thing though was the staff member doing the mask under the nose thing. I know I could have said something, but I honestly don't think it should be up to the customer to tell you to wear a mask properly - I'm not a person who likes conflict and is uncomfortable telling people what to do, but it made me feel uncomfortable and later on I was even feeling uncomfortable to eat the macarons because I kept feeling like what if droplets got on these?? Etc. I know that's not likely but still - they're the thoughts that go through your head and something the business should be aware of. So I would just say for future be aware of proper mask use.
