We got the tart cherry cheesecake, and I'm pretty sure it was made by angels and sprinkled with pixie dust!

Absolutely 10/10. Plus pickup was a breeze - everyone is always so kind! The email reminder for my pickup date was much appreciated too. :) No photo. It's already gone.

I had been meaning to try Humble Cow for a while after a friend recommended it to me, especially…read moresince I was craving ice cream today, so I stopped by in the afternoon around 3pm. I ordered a single scoop of the coconut cream in a waffle cone. At first glance, the scoop looked a little small, but it actually ended up being a satisfying portion. Pricing also felt pretty fair; it's around $5 for a single scoop of ice cream, which isn't bad nowadays (considering the economy), and the waffle cone was only a little extra. They also offer some dairy-free flavors, which is perfect for those who are lactose intolerant, like myself (I still ignored my better judgment and went for the coconut cream anyway LOL). For my kiddo, I ordered a root beer float with a single scoop of cookies and cream ice cream shortly before I had to go pick him up from school, and he really enjoyed it as an after-school treat. While sitting inside, I noticed how surprisingly busy this place gets for an ice cream shop. The seating setup was nice too, especially the little single-seat table that worked perfectly for someone visiting alone like me. They also have a filtered water station available for customers, which I thought was pretty nice since I was thirsty after finishing my ice cream, along with an outdoor seating area if you'd rather sit outside. Unfortunately, the outside patio area doesn't really catch much sunlight, so if you're hoping to sit in the sun, the best spot is probably near the front entrance instead. The shop itself was also very clean. Whenever there was downtime, the staff stayed busy cleaning windows, making waffle cones, or working in the back. As for the ice cream itself, I thought it was good. The coconut cream almost had a slightly sherbet-like texture to it, but I actually didn't mind. The flavor selection had enough variety, and it looks like they rotate limited-time flavors as well. None of the seasonal ones stood out to me this visit, but I'd probably be interested in coming back around fall. I do wish they had more consistently available unique flavors though (things like matcha, taro, or Thai tea would be amazing). The only thing that kept this from being a 5-star experience for me was the customer service. It wasn't rude, just very flat and straightforward. From observing all the interactions, the staff was noticeably more energetic and cheerful whenever families or kids walked in. Meanwhile, interacting with me felt a little dismissive in comparison. Not a huge deal, but it was blatantly obvious, and I felt a little uncomfortable. Still, the ice cream was tasty, affordable, and the atmosphere was pleasant enough that I could see myself stopping by again someday.

I got a two flavor cup of gelato, the Sweet Cream and an Earl Grey fog flavor. The two blended together quite well and didn't make any unfortunate clashing upon the taste buds. Quite a few different flavors to pick from so that gives the place a good likelihood for return trips to explore for future trips. I am sure this place is quite popular during the summer months but a relative breeze with service during the cold months.

I do not recall a time when any other staff at any other place ever asked me that offjump.

Impressive! The service was great! Very kind-hearted staff at the front that walked through how the frozen yogurt purchase process worked. did not make me feel dumb when I asked questions. Was very patient to answer questions and clarify the discount for Veterans Day to me. I liked that there were tables in and out of the shop. Felt roomy, even in the area where you get the frozen yogurt and toppings. Pleasantly surprised! I wish that they had more activities with the Menchie's character line, like coloring pages, black/whiteboards, or games.

Taste testing is fun for the new flavors. I had two taste tests that made me change my regular, which is 2 scoop sundae with 2 of the coconut ice cream, vegan with hot fudge and PB sauce (you get two toppings with sundaes). But, the taste test won the trophy for excellence today. I forgot to photograph the sundae and the staff glady made samples to photograph. So, the photo with 2 spoons; left Apple Crisp, right is Sweet Potato ice creams. So the sundae was Sweet Potato on bottom, Apple Crisp on top with Bumble Berry (whatever berries they can source) sauce and peanuts on as my 2 toppings. The Apple Crisp was full of a crisp's goodness in the topping. Balanced with the creamy ice cream that didn't overpower the crisp feel. With toppings mostly eaten here on this top scoop-- would make an excellent one scoop sundae. But, then came the Sweet Potato. Note I really don't like Sweet Potato Casserole at Thanksgiving with the candied tubers in syrup. They're already sweet, just put mine in foil and toss on the oven somewhere you need space between things. Butter and salt and pepper. Today was different, creamy homemade light ice cream with sweet potato barely folded in so you can see the layers on your spoon, then comes nuts and mini marshmallows- just melt in your mouth good. I want this at my Thanksgiving party this year! Go to Sweetlee's, they make it all, I've included the menu. Two locations. I usually am near West Olympia so frequent there. Best friendly staff, clean, plenty of little tables to eat there. Pints and quarts to go. Homemade. What more do you need, but a bamboo spoon? Enjoy PS There is a single Pic of their Salty Caramel ice cream. Too salty for me, gentleman told me it was better inside of a Brownie Hot Fudge Sundae. I think I'd slip in coconut, cuz it tastes like supper not dessert. It's very popular, but taste test all your choices first anyways!

On their Facebook/IG it always says come in and enjoy A/C but the employee told us it's always super hot by the windows, so no hope of a cool environment if you're in a big party. On another visit (with my 5yr old) it took them almost 50min to bring out her Italian soda. We basically took it to go at that point. I also feel like prices have gone up a lot. The average piece is around $50 or you can paint a ceramic animal for closer to $20. Overall I know I'll be back because the employees are great and getting to paint your own pottery is fun, but I wish the building/food experience was better! Still 4 stars, and watch their social media for deals!

When it's busy, the place can get awfully squishy so I'd recommend making a reservation during weekends and holiday seasons. They also have coffee and ice cream. Regardless of the season, they still push out the finished projects in the same time so we were there on a Sunday, our items were ready for pick up the next Monday. Once your seat is reserved, you walk in and pick your items to paint and a helper will bring it to your table. The paints are on the table and you need to find the number that matches the sample pallet, which is very helpful because it shows you what the paint will look like afterwards. You can write the numbers on the paper on your table to help remember what colors you're using as a helpful tip. There's many sizes of brushes and paint pens. Afterwards add your name on the bottom and take a picture of your work, that's how you claim it.
