Most recent visit I got the mint chip and coffee flavors. I appreciate that both flavors pack a punch, and taste authentic as compared to artificially flavored store bought ice cream. They serve a honey lavender flavor almost year round that is incredible. My personal favorite is the marzipan flavor served during the holidays. They don't skimp on the quality and intensity of flavor. This last visit I also asked if they would give me a single bite of vanilla ice cream on a disposable spoon for my dog, and they kindly obliged. Wonderful local spot that always brings smiles :)

The young worker was so patient & helpful with recommendations that it made the whole experience that more enjoyable. Out of the 2 samples I tried, I ended with the Meyer Lemon. Samples: Cherry Cheesecake which I thought had an icy instead of a creamy texture so I didn't choose this one. Honey Rose & I mostly tasted the honey & no essence of rose, so I decided to pass. Without sampling the Meyer Lemon bc the worker recommended this, I just chose it. The Meyer Lemon was refreshing & had a creamy texture. It was perfect with the fresh waffle cone. I'm ready to try more flavors the next time I stop by.

We went about an hour before closing and there were a few hiccups throughout the visit. There was a…read moreline out the door which got me excited because it usually means the place is good, and the reviews say the same. The only issue is there's no clear menu posted online, so we walked in completely blind. Their website shows a long list of flavors but not what they actually have that day, so it felt like a guessing game. The line moved really slow because there was only one employee handling everything. She was taking orders, giving samples, answering questions, and ringing people up all at once. She was super friendly and doing her best, but it felt like a lot for one person during a rush and the shop could definitely use more help. The space is really small and tight so it was hard to even see the flavors until we got close to the front. When we finally got up there, a lot of the tubs were already empty which was confusing since most ice cream shops restock. Some flavors I wanted weren't available anymore, and if they're out it would make more sense to just remove them from display. The dirty containers didn't make sense to display. I sampled the jasmine green tea and knew right away I wanted it. It was creamy with a smooth tea flavor that wasn't overpowering. I got a small with half jasmine green tea and half avocado. The avocado was surprisingly really good, super creamy and tasted like a fresh avocado smoothie. Both flavors weren't overly sweet which I liked. My husband wanted cookies and cream but it was sold out so he got chocolate chip instead, which was solid and creamy with good texture. Overall the ice cream itself was good, not the best I've had but definitely not bad. I like that the flavors lean more natural and not overly sweet. I could see myself coming back if I'm in the area, but the experience would be a lot better with faster service and more consistency with what's actually available.

"iScream" ice cream is Fourth Street's only dedicated ice cream place…read more It has a prime location just north of Hearst Ave, but it's entrance is away from the sidewalk. There's plenty of tables outside lining the path to the door. I was there on a Wednesday around 5pm. A line is normal at iScream, so I got behind 2 people. There was only one hardworking young lady behind the counter, so we had to wait a bit. I don't know what they were baking in the backroom, but the sweet aroma was just captivating. I asked for a scoop of Dark Chocolate in a cup. The "tap to pay" system made the transaction quick and simple. The ice cream was rich, creamy, with a bitter aftertaste. Very good! For $5.25. it satisfied my ice cream craving.

There are so many inventive options on any given day, and there are always exciting new ones to try at each visit! I was inspired to finally write a review after hearing about some weirdos getting up in arms about a correctly-named ice cream inspired by a local legend, but to be honest this review was long overdue regardless because the ice cream really is worth it. If you're sensitive to lactose at all (even short of being intolerant), you'll most likely notice a difference in how good you feel after eating Bad Walter's compared to other dairy ice creams. I talk about this place to friends all the time, I don't think you can go wrong with anything they have here. Highly recommend subscribing to Sydney's newsletter to get the inside scoop (haha) on the goings-on behind the scenes plus getting the first look at the weekly menu, because sometimes the one on the website isn't updated as often!

The frozen yogurt is delicious, with a variety of flavors that all look tempting. I honestly wanted to try them all! One thing to note is that they don't offer flavor samples, so you'll have to make your best guess when choosing. The toppings are charged at $1 each, which felt a bit pricey--I wish they were a little more affordable. Still, the quality of the yogurt makes up for it. Overall, a fun and tasty spot with great frozen yogurt and plenty of flavor options. Just be prepared to commit to a flavor without a sample!
