Cute little ice cream shop that I wanted to give a try. The parking lot is small, enough to fit…read moremaybe 3 cars but there is street parking.
When we walked in, there was a man there with his daughter, who was deciding on which flavor she wanted. He was kind enough to let us go in front of him while his daughter debated. There were very unique flavors, like guava, sweet corn & soursop to name a few, so we wanted to sample some before fulling committing. I asked the woman behind the counter if they allowed tasting and she said no.
Since a couple of people in my party already knew what they wanted, they went ahead and ordered while the rest of us continued looking over the flavors. As I looked around the shop, I noticed the man and his daughter each had several sample spoons in their hands. To make sure I wasn't mistaken, I asked him if the employee had given them samples, and he confirmed that she had.
The man appeared to be of Latin descent, as was the employee. My party was not. While I can't say for sure why we were treated differently, I was disappointed that we were told samples weren't available when another customer had clearly been allowed to try several flavors. Rather than confront the employee, I paid for the two orders that had already been placed and we left. Had I realized beforehand that samples were being offered to other customers and not us, I would not have placed an order at all.
One person in my party ordered one scoop each of passionfruit, black cherry, and mango. After they started eating, they realized the mango scoop was missing from the cup. They did enjoy the passionfruit and black cherry flavors though. The person ordered the cappuccino flavor but did not enjoy it at all.
Overall, my experience left me feeling unwelcome and disappointed. The inconsistent treatment between customers, combined with the incorrect order, means I won't be returning. I hope this was simply a misunderstanding, but based on my experience, I cannot recommend this shop.
