Cookie Monster
Mia S.

Unforgettable dessert experience. I split the Cookie Monster with my boyfriend, this was our last stop on a weekend vacation and it was the perfect finale. We left with blue stained teeth feeling victorious. Only thing I'd do differently is find one more person to split it with. It was a lot of ice-cream even for two people. My favorite part was that cookie on top.

The 4 sample ice cream flight (you can get cookie dough)
Caroline J.

The good: Lots of choices for so many different things! They have any and all toppings and lots of pre-made creations that you can order! We ended up doing the 4 choice ice cream or cookie dough flight and loved it all. Very ample portion size and all the flavors were good! It's nicely decorated inside and some cute fixtures. Service: was good! The bad: Sadly only one employee doing it all on a Tuesday afternoon! Want to come back and try one of their fin creations!

Strawberry cheesecake

We are new to the area and my husband wanted to take our family out somewhere new. This place was great!! The service was great as well. I didn't catch the lady who was taking our order and making our yummy treats but she was very kind, and the ice cream was amazing!!! I have read the reviews and most of them complain about there only being one employee. I came with patience and left with a very happy family. We had our ice cream outside, the place was clean and well kept! Will definitely be back!!

Outdoor seating

This place is it! An new take on shakes! It Will definitely fulfill any of your sweet tooth. Nice clean modern decore with plenty of indoor outdoor seating. The service was spot on. Soo many specialty milk shakes to chose from. They do also have seasonal shakes, so definitely ask. I ordered the "Doughnut Touch my Coffee and Cream" let me tell you it was divinely sweet! I couldn't finish it all. They are open daily plus Fri & Sat till 10pm for your late night cravings. Will definitely come back and try other shakes!

Good ice cream, pretty "extra" on the sizes and prices though. Ladies working the register were kind of rude, but it was pretty busy--and they get a little backed up on making the crazy milkshakes. $17 for a milkshake, but you do get to keep the mason jar--which is kind of cool. Not one of those places you go every time for ice cream because of the prices.

The ice cream here is pretty good. Service was chill. Ambiance was pretty chill and laid back.

This is a sweet date night or celebration spot. I wouldn't come here often as the ice cream is just that - SWEET! There is a bit of a wait m, but that's because the staff is making all these yummy & photo worthy shakes!

Cookie Monster shake!
Nicky T.

Finally got a chance to go here. Kept my eyes off the internet and went in blind, excited about what they could have. And then I saw it... The Cookie Monster!!! I'm a huge cookie fanatic, so I had to get it. It was absolutely delicious! My wife and I shared it. Staff was friendly. A unique experience. We're looking forward to going back with friends. Oh, word to the wise. The mason jars they serve with, you get to keep. There's a stainless steel wash center next to seating. So you can wash them off before taking them home.

Oat Tastically Dough Licious
Dmitri R.

The inside is clean and well lit, although a little small for seating. I ended up getting the Oat Tastically Dough Licious and it was really tasty and not too sweet. The staff were also really nice! They are a little pricy but I would definitely come back again for a treat.

Service was good, 4 stars. Ambiance is great, lots of seating including outdoors. Lots of ice cream flavors, wonderful! The selections are vast, there are so many bowls and jars concoctions you wont be bored! The only thing I have to say is this: donut is stale, how long is the dough sitting out and used for how many days? And the ice cream is too sweet and not creamy at all. And the food coloring - do you know how green the almond pistachio flavor is? I don't think the purest of pistachio nuts can be that green. I get it, we eat with our eyes first but what is more alluring are pure ingredients - more cream/milk, less coloring, less processed sugar... especially when you like high with Nutella syrup, sprinkles, donuts, etc etc etc!!!

Strawberries and cream cheesecake milkshake!
Dan P.

Was a slower night for them clearly and they provided great customer service. We ordered 3 different things. My milkshake waffle cone and a bowl. Everything was amazing, and I'm glad I don't live closer I would live 500lbs, Very clean inside, and the woman that was working inside was absolutely wonderful, they accidentally selected the wrong ice cream and instead of making it an issue they went above and beyond to fix the issue and give a new scoop! Definitely recommend if you are in the area give it a shot, yes it is pricey but yes you also get a TON of ice cream. 5/5

Salted Caramel Cheesecake
Nikki C.

I was pretty excited to try The Yard. There are so many enticing choices, I went with the salted caramel cheesecake speciality bowl. I loved the presentation and it's definitely big enough to share. Sadly the downfall and the reason why I chose it was the cheesecake. It was still frozen and hard as a rock. Very disappointing but the ice cream itself was good.

Quawnishia M.

Great place, huge portions. A little pricey, but I believe it was worth it. My son loves this place and it was great to treat him. I ordered cookie dough and the portion was insane. My son ordered a milkshake and was in heaven.

It was refreshing and pretty tasty! They also offer vegan options, including vegan ice cream, which is a great choice for anyone looking for a dairy-free treat. One thing to be aware of, though, is the pricing on the add-ons. It appears the prices may have increased, but the price board has not been updated. The board lists add-ons at 50¢, but we were charged 75¢ for each add-on. Because of this, the final total was higher than we expected. Hopefully they will update the price board to reflect the current pricing so customers know what to expect when ordering. Overall, we would recommend this place for a cool and refreshing dessert, especially for those looking for vegan or dairy-free options. Just be sure to double-check the add-on prices!

It could be because I'm a military spouse, but I know my time in the 757 will end soon. After attending Tidewatercomiccon, I realized we were a short walk from Get Lost. It has been on my list to try since December 2024! I ordered a modified (I'm lactose intolerant ) @stormyblue Raz-Berry. The Raz-Berry is part of a fundraiser for @socialbutterfliesfoundation. May is Lupus Awareness Month. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissue, affecting the skin, joints, and organs. It impacts an estimated 1.5 million Americans, and millions more worldwide. The Social Butterflies Foundation is the only nonprofit in Hampton Roads dedicated specifically to supporting those with Lupus and Fibromyalgia. They've helped over 2,500 people locally, and their work continues through community support and donations. $1 from each Stormy Blue Raz-Berry will be donated to the foundation.
