The ice cream was exceptionally smooth, buttery, flavorful and not too sweet. My parner loves his banana caramel so much that we came back the next day just to get him a pint of it. The line didn't stop even after we got our order and sit inside for another 30 minutes. I really recommend this spot if you have a trip to Monterey.

The girl behind the counter seemed really frustrated and annoyed that she had to put my husband's icecream sandwich back...sorry, it felt hard and we wanted to enjoy eating icecream together and not have to wait for my husband's icecream sandwich to soften. I was so excited to try the two dairy free options. I got peanut butter chip and bees knees. The dairy free bees knees had a really gross chalky texture - not creamy at all like other dairy free ice creams I've had . I will say the honey flavor was great. The peanut butter chip used chips that were too bitter and did not complement the sweetness of the peanut butter. I also didn't care for the owners' passive aggressive responses to yelp reviewers who had a similar experience to mine. Please listen to your customers.

It had freshly cooked bacon to perfection, butter lettuce, the freshest tomatoes, an aioli sauce, on perfectly toasted sourdough bread. Would 100% get it again and I hope it's not seasonal because everyone should try this sandwich!! Flourless Brownie: 8/10 It definitely is a flourless brownie the texture of it is almost like fudge. It melts in your mouth instantly, there's not really much of a structure to the brownie. If you're a texture person this might not be for you as it's not a traditional brownie it's extra gooey. However, absolutely love the flavor of it. It's a rich chocolate flavor with powdered sugar on top. As a dark chocolate lover this was pretty good!! Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips: 6/10 It's nothing too special, it was more on the dry side but still strong banana flavor! Overall experience: 9/10 Customer service wasn't the greatest while waiting for our sandwich we didn't really know we had to wait, where to wait, and when I changed my mind on a pastry someone gave me a face.

When we got home and tried it, I enjoyed the texture and flavor of the cake. It was soft and was the right amount of sweetness. If you're ever in need of a cake for an event, I highly recommend! :)

The "handmade" ice cream sign caught my eye, so we decided to give it a try. I got the butter pecan. If you like super creamy, rich, milky-style butter pecan, this may not be for you. Their ice cream has more of an icy texture with a lighter flavor. I actually enjoyed it since I'm not a fan of overly creamy or overly sweet ice cream. It felt lighter and more refreshing. The rainbow sherbet had the same icy texture. One thing is that the ice cream melts very quickly, almost watery, even in 65-degree weather, so have napkins ready. One complaint was the scoop sizes. Our scoops were noticeably smaller compared to other customers being served around the same time, so the portions felt inconsistent for the price. Overall, if you prefer lighter, less sweet ice cream, you may enjoy this spot- just hope you get a generous scoop!

OKAY THE ICE CREAM: * I had gotten their butter pecan and as much as I wanted to love it, it did not taste like anything. There were bits of butter in the ice cream but no pecans- I was so bummed! * My partner had gotten their Cookies by the Bay Sundae which was pretty yum.
