    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    I match the ice cream
    Nancy H.

    Great spot! I first learned about The Yard from Shark Tank, then had my first experience in Atlanta. Loved it, so was pretty excited when I learned that I would have one nearby when moving to Virginia Beach. Went with a few friends on a week night and it wasn't busy. Only a few other groups were there. Service was friendly and quick and all of our choices were delicious. Prices are high, but it's definitely a luxury ice cream experience, so pretty worth it in my opinion for an occasional treat!

    Such a cute little spot and I love that it's not in the mix on the oceanfront. It's well before it…read more Get Lost is such a nice neighborhood beachy spot to stop and get some shaved ice. A must stop if you have company visiting. They have a great flavor offering and you can also build your own ice if you'd like. I've been a few times, but recently I took my nieces and they both decided to get the Mug flavor which is not a fruity flavor. It leans towards cinnamon, root beer and coffee flavors and it was surprisingly soooo good. I cannot wait to get that the next time I go. I also recommend their Pitaya in Paradise which has dragonfruit and lime as well.. Honestly, you can't go wrong as long as you pick typical flavors you like. Check them out the next time you have a free day to vibe out. The staff is super sweet and friendly and are willing to answer any questions. They're really patient.

The pineapple flavored shaved ice was so refreshing, with fresh pineapple on the side and creamy ice cream in the middle. Every bite was top tier the perfect mix of fruity, sweet, and creamy. The only thing is that I could not finish it because the serving was so filling! Go with a very light stomach or bring someone to share one with. Highly recommend!
