    Mango and toasted marshmallow combo
    Shauna f.

    Very quick service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]In an out of the way place in an alley.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very good and worth it. Similar to wicked slush in Healdsburg.

    Orange cream/strawberry and Sour Apple/strawberry $12 each.
    Bobby L.

    I'm sure glad the ice cream place across the street ran out of all the flavors we wanted to try because we discovered this place and it is amazing! I don't know why there aren't more reviews on this place. I don't usually give out 5*'s unless I really like the establishment and this place exceeded by expectations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I want to note this place is super clean, hidden away in a back alley off the main street, when we walked in this place was very clean and well decorated especially for Halloween![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Firstly, they use Straus Cream for their soft serve! Super creamy with a silky smooth texture and decadent. We ended up getting the combo which is $12 and you choose a slush and a soft serve flavor. I would recommend getting the vanilla, which you wouldn't normally hear me say, but the machine adds this syrup/flavoring in the soft serve that isn't really my favorite. We got the sour apple slush in one and orange cream in the other with strawberry soft serve. Service here is a little on the slower side because it was the owner working the entire shop by himself orders and all, but he was super nice and friendly. This place would give meadowlark in Pleasanton a run for it's money for sure! I'd like to add that their pup cup sizes here are generous and my dogs loved it! When I'm in the area I'll be back!

    A hidden little shop in downtown. Some ice cream or a slush, here is where to get it. Super great people, good flavors; you don't want to miss this place, especially as the hot days are coming.

    Regular chocolate soft serve and orange slush combo
    Kristine K.

    Thanks to Yelp Elite Jamie C's review, I got the orange slush and chocolate soft serve combo and it was very yummy! The flavor combination was excellent, but I also enjoyed each flavor on its own. I got the regular size which was very generous, good for sharing. Service was fast and friendly, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]we enjoyed sitting outside at the nearby plaza to listen to live music on a Sunday afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Sour Apple and strawberry Orange cream and strawberry

    Owner was super nice and informative. The flavors were super refreshing And not syrupy. The price was amazing for the amount we got. We can't wait to go back again.

    Combo mango slushy & caramel soft serve.in alternating layers.
    May O.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once Upon A Slush is a small cute shop hidden in a little courtyard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It serves, slushies, Strauss organic soft serve, coffee drinks, hot dogs, popcorn, soup, chilli, and grilled cheese sandwiches. The slushies and soft serve are the stars of Once Upon A Slush. You can even make combos or shakes of a slushy & soft serve. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are five tables for indoor seating, and two tables for outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came here after my husband noticed a lot of young people coming out of Once Upon A Slush. We were curious about what everyone was eating from there so we wandered in. Like a lot of customers, we ordered a combo of a slushy & a soft serve. We chose a combo of mango slushy & caramel soft serve. It was served in alternating layers of slushy and soft serve which was nice to get the change after a few bites. It was delicious and refreshing for a warm day. The mango slushy was sweet, soft, and had a lot of mango flavor. The caramel soft serve was creamy & sweet. The owner, Dave, was friendly and was a one man show. He took the orders, made the products, and served the orders. He was quick though. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once Upon A Slush is a cozy little place where one can gather with friends for coffee, slushies, soft serve, and snacks. Or just take it to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The special treats from Once Upon A Slush are delicious and we will be back,

    root beer soft serve and cherry slush!
    Jamie C.

    Great dessert spot in downtown Petaluma! I love walking here after a nice dinner out, it's such a fun treat. The inside is small but decorated with a cute fantasy theme, and the people working are always so friendly! Although it is located in the American Alley, so the surrounding area isn't the nicest, but I personally like to take it over to the edge of the river and enjoy it there! The four of us ordered a couple different things! I ordered a small combo with root beer soft serve and cherry slush. One thing I will note is that the depending on what flavor slush you get, it can be a little flavorless. Finding one that is good can take a little bit of trial and error! Personally, I like the cherry slush with a select few soft serve options. The root beer was very good! One of my friends ordered a kids sized combo with chocolate soft serve and orange slush. Such a delicious combination if you like orange and chocolate! It tasted just like a Jaffa Cake. The orange is also one of the better slush flavors. Another one of my friends got a kids sized toasted marshmallow soft serve with root beer slush. This tasted just like a root beer float, and will probably be my new favorite order from there! It was so yummy. The fourth friend ordered a small banana soft serve, and it tasted exactly like a banana laffy taffy (if you're into that)! Not my personal favorite but worth a try. Overall I would absolutely recommend trying this Petaluma staple at least once if you're in the area!

    This is an orange frozen confection with soft serve vanilla. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is a very small with a cool location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Never had anything like it and the quality is sensational. Many flavors of soft serve and frozen confection that can be combined all sorts of ways. The density and taste are perfect. My granddaughter and I loved it! We're going to take Dave (the owner) a copy of his place with the flying unicorn.

    Vanilla soft serve

    A small ice cream and soft serve store in Petaluma. The location is a bit difficult to find it's in an alleyway. The place was pretty packed but the wait was around 5 minutes. We got the small combo and child soft serve. The child size was perfect for me the cup sizes are pretty large despite the name. The soft serve was creamy and delicious. The flavor wasn't too milky or creamy just the right taste. Definitely a place to check out!

    Cherry vanilla and mango strawberry

    Soo good!!! So many flavors to pick from!! The kids will love on a hot day or just for a sweet snack!

    Slush and soft serve w lotsa toppings!

All the food comes served on metal trays lined with paper. Bright red and yellow squeeze bottles of ketchup and mustard top every table aside a paper towel roll. Only a few tables available for seating. All seats are benches. I ordered a super burger, cause sometimes that classic lettuce, tomato, onion, pickel combination is what I'm craving. Ordered it mid rare, and that's how it came. They have 'all the cheeses' you can choose from. I went with pepper jack. Burger was perfect. The bun was perfect. The produce was great. All in all a delicious burger. I went with a side salad instead of fries, but the fried side options were plenty and they all looked pretty good. The salad wasn't bad either. It came with kidney and garbanzo beans, carrots, cucumber, sliced onion and tomato on spinach. Only note on this salad is they should probably chop the onion and tomatos for the salads instead of dropping slices on your salad. Couldn't find any knives to cut thise big slices I wish the dining area was larger and more comfortable, otherwise I'd really want to hang out there over a cold pint.

This weekend we made our way over to Petaluma and found the cutest little spot right on the water--Taps on the River. We grabbed a table outside, and goodness, it was just so peaceful. A nice breeze, pretty views, and some of the friendliest service you could ask for. We started with the Shishito Peppers and the Peach Salad, and they were both absolutely wonderful. I had the Korean Short Ribs, and my hubby ordered the Squash Burger. Bless their hearts..... they sure know how to cook! Every bite was delicious. I also treated myself to a Dunkel beer, which is mighty hard to find, and I just loved it! We'll most definitely be making our way back to Taps on the River. If you find yourself over in Petaluma, I'd sure recommend stopping by. It's one of those places that just makes you want to sit a spell, enjoy the view, and savor a good meal.

I started with the Westmalle (Belgian) Tripel beer. It was the best part of my meal. I ordered the Sasquash burger which is a burger with bacon and a squash ring. Our server recommended it. It was okay (3 stars). I'm not sure that a thick piece of squash on a burger really works. One of my dining partners ordered the fish and chips (3 stars). She said it was okay. Her favorite fish and chips is at Finnegan's in Novato. My daughter ordered the caesar wrap. I tried it. It was the best meal on the table (4.5 stars). Our server was very good (5 stars).
