They have quite a few signature options and a make your own. My husband and I had the dolce de leche and it was elegantly flavored with Vanilla Snow, Banana, Flan Custard, Caramel Sauce, Whipped Cream. My boys had a modified coffee toffee (added more caramel and no whip) and the polar affogato (no chocolate sauce added sprinkles). They both slammed it down. Service was awesome. We had seen that there was a Valentines deal online, but no location listed. Sadly, it was not for this location but the server gave us a coupon for our next visit. Pretty nice!!! Definitely worth the visit, make sure to check it out!!

My daughter and I decided to stop by Ice Cream Cakes & Crepes while in Petersburg. She mentioned…read morethat they were pretty popular due to their wine infused sorbet so I couldn't wait to try it. When we arrived, we noticed there was some street parking right in the front of the store but since the street looked a bit narrow, we decided to park in the parking area across the street. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and even though we arrived close to 9pm, there were a good amount of people still there. The spot was very cute and the ice cream decor on the walls, gave it a nice touch. We sampled one of the wine sorbets and it was pretty good. It had a hint of the wine taste but tasted mostly like sorbet. We also sampled a few other flavors before deciding on the Cookies n' Cream or the Jungle Fever, which was very good. Overall, I can definitely see why this spot is popular because it's definitely a vibe. They also offer crepes, sundaes, flights, milkshakes and cake. If you're in the area and looking for a sweet treat, definitely spot in!

The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs. The items are in a glass enclosed display that you have to open and place your selections on your tray for purchase. I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,

Calming spot to grab a treat, get some work done/journal, or catch up with friends in an aesthetic and modern cafe. Ordered the paradise tea with mango and avocado. I loved the textures and layers of flavors. The drink was filling and lasted me a while, not watery but refreshing. The mango tasted fresh and avocado creamy. I haven't tried the pastries at this location, but have at their other Richmond cafe. Great cakes and buns made fresh in-house. Easy to find parking at the lot outside. Service is pretty quick.

Love love love Kline's…read more And they open at 11am on a weekday? Perfect spot to ruin my toddlers lunch with custard. We were the only ones there on a Wednesday morning. And the girl who helped us was so kind. She helped us decide to get this Oreo explosion treat and it was amazing. And came with gummy worms. It was chilly so we ate in our car but I imagine on a nice day it's great to enjoy their patio. If you're looking for custard and a kind face check out Kline's.

I stopped here today to get some ice cream. I had never been to Kline's and was anxious to try it…read more I was a bit surprised that they only offered five different kinds of ice cream. The girl working there was very friendly and let me try the Dubai chocolate, which to me just tasted like plain chocolate. I ended up getting a cup of the vanilla ice cream based on her recommendation. Their ice cream is more like frozen custard and it's made daily. I found the consistency to be a little runny and thin and not as creamy as other frozen custards I've had before, but the vanilla flavor was really good. Although this wasn't my favorite ice cream, it's still a good option if you're in the area.

However the ice cream tasted terrible. Ice cream is my favorite dessert and I threw 3/4 out. The ice cream wasn't creamy, had a super artificial taste, had water crystals in it, and wasn't worth eating. The pistachio tasted flavorless other than the nuts that were in it. The mud ice cream flavor as okay. The only tasty part being the incursions as well. Overall we were super disappointed and won't be back. The servers were kind and the place was clean. Plenty of parking in the shopping center. Many other better options nearby.

I also got some of their fried oreos to enjoy back at home and they were also fried perfectly. As a lover of fair food, it was nice to have a fried oreo that wasn't greasy. They also serve hot food (chicken tenders,burgers, fries and even pizzas!). The big scoop is truly a one stop shop for a fun fast casual experience. The staff were all friendly and the space is extremely spacious. With its proximity to the mall there is ample parking and would be a great end of the day spot to just relax with friends. I could even see this being a great party or after practice spot if it isn't already. If you're like me and just crave a sweet treat some days this might just be the spot for you.
