Picked the Mono Lisa as it seemed to be popular and packed full of great ingredients; they have an online ordering system that made it easy to order a head and come by to pick up. There's always a line up during the lunch rush hour so I would recommend to order ahead if you plan on coming by to make it a smoother experience. The interior is a cute deli shop, there are no seats inside but also plenty of other shelf items to purchase in addition to deli sandwiches. The Mona Lisa was exactly as described, the flavours were popping and it was a great portion. It was slightly saltier for my preference but expected as there's prosciutto that tasted delicious.

This is one of those places that's a bit perplexing from the outside - it's hard to tell whether it's "hipster shabby", or just plain shabby. But seeing the pictures of the ice cream on Yelp, I knew I had to try it. If you're here for just ice cream, you could do a lot worse. They serve Hewitt's here, which is good stuff, and the prices are reasonable if a tiny bit on the high side given the area (although no one would blink an eye on James North). Expect a cone to run you from $3-5 depending on how big you like it. Where this place really shines is their half-and-halfs, though. It's a pretty simple idea at the heart of it - a sundae plopped into a milkshake. It's clever though, and they're really delicious. It runs about $6-7 for one - a fair price given what you get. I got a standard option (peanut butter), but you can "build your own", which probably would get more interesting, as most of the standards tend to have the same flavours in the milkshake and the ice cream part. I didn't try the paninis, nor did anyone in the place when I was there. I personally think this place could focus on ice cream and do perfectly well. read more

The food and ice cream are fine. The issue i had was with the music. This is a place you bring kids to get ice cream, the music was laced with lyrics not suitable for kids. Fkn ni**er this and bit*h hoe that. If i want to hear that kind of music ill either go to the night club or wait for the next car with a stereo cranked so loud it rattles the windows of the buildings as it drives past. I certainly wont be back. read more

There is interior seating (not during a pandemic) and a few sidewalk seating. We were here summer 2019 and decided to come back because of the quality of the ice cream.

It's very bare bones inside, and the service is basic, but how much service do you really need for a scoop of ice cream? They're there and happy to serve you for the brief 4 minutes you'll be standing there. You can sit outside, but this really isn't a hang out place. It's more like a "go and get an ice cream to take with you on a summer evening stroll" kind of place. So, if you are looking to be waited on and to sit and hang out for a while, this isn't the place. If you're looking for delicious ice cream served in huge scoops for a very reasonable price, this is the place for you!
