The staff has a great job of keeping things moving along serving size really big! Most of us couldn't finish all of our order. I'm always looking for lactose free ice cream unfortunately they did not have it here and I had to go with the sorbet. Since the ice cream is homemade every day, it wouldn't hurt to make some of your ice cream with lactose free milk. Pretty please. The question on our group did come up what do you do with your leftover ice cream? If you only serve homemade ice cream from that day? The ambience side is homespun Americana! Not sure if it's super patriotic because the Fourth of July and the 250th first of America is coming up. Kind of reminds me of Main St., Disneyland very cool.!

Their specialty seeming to be pizzas. We only stopped by for drinks and French fries but they did a great job with everything. Loved that they have an outdoor patio for dogs.

Will definitely be back to try some of the pasta dishes.

I ordered the "Big Melo", and wow--this place does not miss. The flavors were bold, the sandwich was satisfying from the first bite to the last, and you can tell they're making it with pride. Even better? The heart of the place is right there in front of you: it's run by a young kid with his dad helping him build the business the right way.

People here are so nice and helpful. They get you what you want and introduce to new things. All the workers treat you like family and remember your name. Allison, Noel, Araceli and Anna just to name a few that have become a part of our week. Now let's talk about the food. Everything if greasy and delicious. The ice cream is creamy and never super frozen. The corn is hot and they always feed you. You'll never leave hungry. Go try them out. You won't be disappointed. read more

I usually go to this business and have had good experiences at the locations I normally visit. However, I recently stopped by this location and was honestly shocked by the prices. The cost for the same items/services was significantly higher than what I'm used to paying, which was really disappointing. I'm not sure if pricing varies by location, but the difference felt extreme. I hope the company can work on keeping pricing more consistent across locations. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Young ladies were rude, and tried to rush me out of the store as fast as possible. Didn't offer me any samples and were giggling the whole time. Tables were dirty as well so I didn't even bother staying to enjoy my ice cream. I normally go to the Murrieta location but was at the theater so just went here, and I will not be back. Very disappointed. read more

My daughter ordered the Dubai Crepe, and for $17, it was nowhere near worth the price. The crepe appeared to be premade, which isn't necessarily a problem, but the quality was terrible. It was so tough and rubbery that we couldn't even cut through it properly with utensils. We ended up having to tear it apart with our hands, and even that was difficult. At one point, I had to double-check that my daughter wasn't accidentally chewing on the wax paper because the texture was that bad. The strawberries were fresh, the Nutella tasted fine and was slightly softer than usual, which was actually nice. However, the pistachio cream was extremely runny and made a mess all over the plate. Even with all that moisture, the crepe never softened and remained tough and chewy. Overall, the quality did not match the price. Between the uncomfortable atmosphere and the disappointing food, I would not recommend this location.
