This is an amazing ice cream place. If I didn't like it so much, I would dock them a star because…read moreit does not seem like they hire enough workers for a busy weekend day. Poor staff member was all alone in the back taking orders from big parties, call-in orders, and app orders. He was working non-stop and I don't think that is a great thing about this place, since from the looks of it they can afford to hire more workers given the steady stream of customers (sometimes not so steady and sometimes just heavy). But the ice cream is freshly made and everything tastes as it should -- strawberry ice cream tastes like fresh strawberries, flavors are super creative, and the sundaes have a mix of the flavors with special toppings like nuts and cream. The place also has little games to keep the kids busy and just a nice variety of ice cream, boba, shakes, and drinks. Overall, we can see why our family highly recommended this place to us and why it's a staple in the area. The ice cream is amazing!

I stopped in after hearing rave reviews. It's in a strip mall, and you have to look to find it, but…read moreonce I walked in, it was amazing! I got a regular, which was two scoops and the girl behind the counter let me try as many flavors to figure out what I wanted. I got one scoop of sea and sand, and one scoop of a horse with no name and it was absolutely delicious! The girl working there said they make everything by hand there. I would definitely go back and definitely recommend!

I had high hopes for High Hopes, but I felt kind of disappointed after I went. There was a long…read moreline, and parking was limited to street parking. I ordered the Campfire S'mores ice cream, and although it was rich and creamy, I didn't really get the nostalgic hit of graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow. I felt like I was eating a glorified vanilla. For the price and hype, I was expecting more. Would I go back? Maybe if friends wanted to go and try it. Edit: The owner of High Hopes wrote a response including the statement, "Yelp glorifies amateur critics, giving them a platform for disproportionate, often weaponized power to individual opinions over professional expertise." It sounds disrespectful toward Yelpers, as if the typical person or customer isn't allowed to say whether they like or dislike something. That is the entire point of this platform, and arguably, any customer review. The response from Jamie invalidates the individual's experience and alienates the customer. If this is the culture behind High Hopes, it does not feel inclusive to all. Therefore, I will not be going back. I will keep the review at 3 stars because I stand by my original review.

It was very delicious though. I definitely had a huge sugar rush and a crash after (coming from someone who never gets shakes). Portion size was so much. Taste was amazing wow. They had all the pecans at the bottom that you couldn't get with a straw lol. I think I would've preferred them more mashed up and crunched to be in the drink but oh well. Amazing taste!!! There was a huge line but once we ordered, the food came out quick!

The location off State Line Rd allows spontaneous visits for me. With its convenient spot, I'm a…read morefrequent visitor. I've never had a bad flavor. I always lean toward chocolate or stracciatella, two classic gelato flavors. Flying Cow excels with the classics, but their creativity shines when you get away from the classics and get into fruit options or the root beer float. It's all fun and delicious. Like I said, never had a bad flavor. The scoopers are always very friendly, providing great service. I might be wrong but I think they've added more seating outside than they used to have, so that's great news for anyone trying to enjoy the summer weather.

There are two bowl sizes, and they have dividers if you'd like to separate your flavors! It's really fun since you get to build your own bowl exactly how you want it. I did the lemon, coconut and pineapple then topped with shredded coconut. It's was super flavorful and a very light dessert! You pay by the weight of your bowl, I had the smaller one and my husband had a large size, after a tip it was just about $15 which we thought was fair! The inside was cute and clean with multiple types of seating, they also had outdoor seating available as well! The check out gal was fast and effective!

When I checked out, the woman told me that she didn't have the pennies to find me change…read more There was no sign around the register stating that change would not be found for customers or that pennies were on shortage. She did not notify me verbally of this prior to me paying in cash (which I did to avoid the 4% credit card fee). That's essentially theft. You can't keep money just because you're short. If pennies are so inconsequential, then give back the customer a nickel instead. I bet business would put up a huge fit if the customer asked them to just take less than what they're owed. Not only that, when I paused in taking the cash, the woman then goes into the till and says, "I have ONE penny." So... essentially you lied first about not having any pennies, and you're still short on giving me my change. Can you imagine taking your grandma/nona's $5 to the candy store, then coming back with a receipt that you spent $1 but don't have the rest of her change to return? Absolutely not.
