This ice cream is outstanding! Tried the mint chip, the mango, the coconut, and the salted caramel and they are all fantastic! Believe the hype.

Best locally owned Ice Cream parlor. It's been around for a long time and even though the prices are a bit high, the quality is superb. Great place to share a treat on a date ;~)

I worked here for 3 years in high school. Best quality icecream in SB hands down. Decadent FLAVORS! There is also WOWCOW frozen yogurt. Fat free, Sugar free, Dairy free, and INCREDIBLY tasty. DO IT!

Great ice cream spot. Try two flavors with a single scoop. I got vanilla bean with Turkish Coffee and was not disappointed.

The Vanilla Bean is a classic for a reason and the Cinnamon is out of this world.

They have interesting flavors
Pleasure PalateApril 1, 2010
Their one scoop is equivalent to two scoops elsewhere. Their one scoop is so big, that you can actually get half scoops of two different flavors.

They're temporarily closed, with a big pile of dirt in front if the door and and an outhouse in the parking lot.

Ridiculously over-priced ice cream but tasty. $15 for two cups of two-flavor ice cream.

Kid size is more than enough. Wish they sold smaller portions.
