    My first time stopping by and I was not disappointed! The staff were friendly and there was a huge menu of endless toppings to choose from. The prices were very reasonable! There is plenty of seating available to dine in and enjoy your sweet treat. There is also merchandise available to purchase, so definitely check it out. Parking is onsite and accessible restroom are available as well.

    We just moved to the area and we've been looking for our new ice cream spots. Turbo came highly suggested and it was alright. Service was really good. The young staff is nice and quick. The free stickers made my kid happy and even my wife. Prices are a bit inflated IMO, but this may just be the area. Parking was easy on a Saturday afternoon. I like the outdoor seating and shade. It's a nice place to stop with a ton of families and kids hanging out. I also love the store shirt. I found the chocolate soft serve a bit dull though. The vanilla is much better. Sprinkles were really good and the mixed ice cream and candy options are nice. We will try some other places but we will also be back.

    So happy I found this little slice of delicious coned heaven! GF, DF and so many options for a sweet treat. I love that they have the Pineapple that's basically like a Dole Whip (it's GF, DF & vegan to boot). The Non Dairy Vanilla is a classic and goes well with all the other flavors. I am obsessed with the Iceberg. Couldn't decide between a Slushie or Ice Cream and this does it all!!! It's soft serve on top of a delicious iced slush. Many options to mix and match the flavors. Our current favorite Icebergs are - DF Vanilla in Grape / Pineapple in Peach / Swirled Vanilla & Pineapple in Blue Raspberry. Wish they had a GF cone option but don't hate it since the slush only requires a cup! Soooo very much love that it's affordable & appreciate that they are open til 10 and have outside tables so you don't feel bad swinging in last minute and taking a treat to go!

    Perfect summer treat on a hot day! I've been wanting to stop here and finally made it. I'll definitely be back this summer.

    It's always a chill spot to get dessert. It is very awesome and above the tip of the iceberg. The staff are really nice and accommodating for customers that have gluten intolerance, sensitivities, celiac, et cetera and handle food allergies excellent.

    We love this ice cream. They don't have any indoor seating but ample outdoors with easy parking and a bathroom. The menu is vast and has something for everyone. They accommodated my husband's nut allergy well which we always appreciate. Highly recommend!

    Ok, I ordered a twist in a waffle cup. Now can I finish it?

    Who doesn't love a soft-serve ice cream cone? Turbo's got that and more. I had a choco-vanilla twist in a waffle cup, and could've had soft serve mango or a mix-in mash, milkshake, and more. I enjoyed my cup under the roof of their outdoor seating, but I saw most customers take their choices away. My ice cream was delish, and the waffle cup was crispy and a satisfying ending. I'll be back.

    Love this ice cream spot! Be aware they have overflow parking on a side street. It's staffed by mostly high school aged kids but they're fast and friendly. Lots of picnic tables to choose from under a big cover. The hurricone is my favorite - get the turbo cone crunch in it!

    Don't trust their hours!!!! Closed at 9:24 on a Thursday night. Drove out of our way after dinner for soft serve. Awful.

    Definitely our favorite soft serve in the area. I stick with old faithful, the chocolate and vanilla twist with rainbow sprinkles. Brings me back to my childhood! The good old days! My boyfriend likes to mix it up. Below is vanilla soft serve with strawberry shortcake topping. This place is always hopping, very-low key and service is quick. Outdoor seating only, but there is a public restroom. Love that they are always playing 80's jams.

    Turbo Cone takes me right back to my childhood. It's an old-fashioned, outdoor ice cream shop where you order and pick up at the window. They serve classic flavors like chocolate and vanilla twist, along with Dole Whip--my go-tos, always topped with rainbow sprinkles. The shop's simple, cute vibe adds to its charm, making it a perfect spot for a sweet, nostalgic treat.

Luckily, we were able to be seated immediately but it was very close quarters with surrounding tables. The menu is vast with different dessert options. If you want to know what cakes are available, you should check out the display stand right when you enter. Since we were there 2.5 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be a lot of cake options available, but my husband and I decided to share a slice of the s'mores cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to make it à la mode. The s'mores cake was a chocolate cake with mini marshmallows, chocolate fudge, graham crackers, and more marshmallows. The cake was good and had everything I could ever want in it, but it was a little dry. I think this also had to do with it being the end of the night. The ice cream complemented the flavor well. It would have been better with a second scoop of ice cream though. Service was great! It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered to get our dessert. I would probably come back here again, but not so late at night so there would be fresher cake with more options available.

I was looking for a place near the event to do a neighborhood tie in and they made me 7 dozen mini cupcakes. I sent an inquiry and we worked out the details over email.

We set a pickup time and I went to grab them just before my event. Christen had them ready and greeted me at the door. She actually does all the baking off site at a commercial kitchen and then offers pickup from her beautiful home downtown. I love this old school way of doing business and it adds a personal touch. Now for the cakes! Everyone was raving about them and asking where they came from... even people who said they don't even like chocolate cake (weirdos if you ask me). I lucked out because my guests had restraint and didn't devour every last mini cupcake so I took home about a dozen of them and enjoyed all of them with zero judgement from the party goers. I can't wait to try a whole cake from this place... it's gonna be amazing.

For dinner we split the following Tier 1 Tower - The oysters were fresh, the smoked amberjack pate was clean and filling, and the peel and eat shrimp were flavorful. For my husband's second beverage he ordered a "Loaded Hamms" (not on the menu but they'll know) with their homemade hot sauce. Smoked Bird Island Oysters - OMG it was so simple yet so flavorful and fresh. They make their own hot sauce which is very flavorful with a touch of spice. We loved it. Charcoal Grilled Royal Reds - The eggplant puree with like a Baba ghanoush but with a little more flavor and pizazz. The shrimps were so tender and again flavorful. For desert we split the corn ice cream with blackberry jam and graham cracker crumbles. It was amazing. We highly recommend "The Ordinary"; the food was phenomenal and the service was exceptional.

The cake is moist, perfectly sweet, and layered with fluffy coconut frosting. If you've been wanting to try it but don't feel like committing to a full fine-dining experience at Peninsula Grill, this is such a great, more casual way to enjoy it. I paired it with an espresso martini, which paired well with the dessert. I was disappointed that it wasn't served with their famous smoke bubble. The overall experience was just okay. Sitting at the bar was convenient, but the service felt pretty standard and the interior didn't really stand out or add much to the vibe. It's definitely more about the cake than the atmosphere here.

We were craving espresso martinis, and they quickly made a couple for us. Nice touch -- the glasses were chilled, which always makes a difference. That said, we do think the martinis may have been missing the classic foam "bubble" and espresso bean garnish. Honestly though, since they were closing and still accommodated us, we were just grateful they made them at all. If it had been mentioned that they'd be quick, simplified versions due to closing, we would've completely understood -- just something small for expectation-setting. Now let's talk about the coconut cake -- absolutely amazing. It's $17 for a slice, but the portion is HUGE. Easily shareable, and we still had to take some to-go. Super moist, flavorful, and worth every bite if you're a coconut fan. Also worth noting: the outdoor patio is pet-friendly, which is always a big plus for us. Great spot to stop with your pup while enjoying dessert or a cocktail. Overall, a positive experience -- especially thanks to the staff's hospitality at closing time. We'd definitely come back (earlier next time!) to enjoy the full experience.
