Overall, great ice cream spot on the main street and we all really enjoyed our sweet treat!

You can get simple ice cream, cereal infused ice cream, milkshakes, and more. I decided to go for their signature item, the cereal infused ice cream. I got a vanilla base with cheese cake bits and fruity pebbles. It was absolutely delicious. I live nearby so walked over, but there are street parking spots in front. Do know when you walk in, it might take a minute to place your order. It's a super local place and the person who runs the front is usually next door. It's more of a takeout ice cream place. There is Clay park nearby to enjoy your ice cream at. My ice cream with tip came out to about $12. It was a huge serving too. As you can see from my menu photos, there are a lot of option to pick from. So if you're more of a captain crunch person or apple jacks, you're good. I highly recommend checking this tasty ice cream out.

And not only that, but the flavors were so delicious and creamy. I've tasted my fair share of DF ice cream; this is the best I've maybe ever had. My friend could not tell a difference in her scoops either. Staff was super nice & were more than happy to entertain multiple samples. Prices were great for being allergy friendly. The shop is a little small so summer nights might have long lines, but we went on a rainy day in March. Can't wait to try the whole menu!

I was able to sample a few flavors when I got there.. one slid right off my taster spoon onto the floor :/ oops. The one scoop is pretty small, but I expect that with gelato. I do wish they had the small taster spoons to eat it with rather than the normal size spoon. Service was good but I felt like they were really questioning mine and my friends' decision to only get the smalls.

We weren't expecting much, but this eatery turned out to be a delightful and savory surprise. The neon lighting and decor immediately drew me in, giving the place a joyful, Instagram-worthy vibe. The range of sweet snacks was also excellent, with something to satisfy any craving, whether it was ice cream, Italian ice, or something a little extra. Definitely one of those "we just popped in but stayed longer than we planned" types of places.

They should probably fix how the times show up so no one else gets confused. When you get there, you pick your flavors and mix-ins, grab an apron, wash your hands, and the instructor helps you get everything ready. Once your ice cream is mixed, it goes in the freezer, and while you wait, you get a four-scoop flight of their signature ice cream and a complimentary glass of wine if you're of age. Super cute little outing. The only thing I'd change is I wish the tasting came first. I had already made my ice cream when I tried the flight, and I would've liked to tweak my flavors after tasting. Nevertheless though, it was really fun and I'd totally do it again!

The Richmond shop is bright and airy and the service is very friendly. I like how they're very open to giving you samples and not making you feel bad about it. At least on my trip. My family and I ordered the salted peanut with chocolate flecks (which I thought was good but needed more chocolate), Texas sheet cake (which I think is the dairy free version of the chocolate blackout cake. I didn't realize it was dairy free so I picked it thinking you could taste the chocolate more but I think most of us preferred the chocolate blackout cake) green mint chip (which was very good and my daughter smartly combine this with the chocolate blackout cake. Salted peanut butter would've been good with the CBC as well ) and double dough which was pretty awesome. I'm actually normally not a cookie dough ice cream fan because I prefer the cookie but I thought this was done very well. My only disappointment was that they did not have any kind of coffee flavor, which is my go to for most ice cream stores besides the classic chocolate, peanut butter and mint chip. It would be nice if they had some indoor seating. I feel like there is potential for it. As for parking- it's on Cary so it's a crapshoot.
