Customer Reviews
This place is just amazing, much like their interns, 🥰they offer some of the best ice cream and milkshakes I’ve ever had we recommend the peanut butter cup 🤤 the treats are as awesome as their mission to help make young folks with Down’s syndrome visible and better accepted. They teach their interns valuable life and work skills and the community how valuable everyone can be when you take the time to look! They have make and take custom mugs and/or water bottles you that you can make for a steal at $10-$12 plus, they also offer birthday party parties and corporate events that are all hosts by an inter whom has downs. They are such an awesome bunch over there, it’s a fantastic family friendly ice cream stop with some of the sweetest smiles too! Hugs not required but if your lucky enough you
Lower rating for how the woman (guessing manager, she was wearing a pink beanie hat) behind the counter was treating one of the employed gentlemen. I believe his name was Eric. He was very nice, greeted me when I walked in and asked how he could help me. I asked for a menu for the coffees. He said they didn't have a menu but he could suggest the different flavors they had. I was listening but the woman interrupted him and started reading off of a list I guess. He gestured to her and said she would help me, to let me know she would be taking over. I guess she didn't like that because she then told him to "be quiet" and "wait your turn to speak". Which was crazy, because he was already doing that. I understand this is a place for supporting individuals with Down Syndrome and I am all for it
Peach Gelato is delicious 😋 very friendly and helpful staff 🥰. Beautiful seating area to relax and enjoy my gelato they make their own art on the coffee mugs for sale 😍
Extremely clean; staff was very friendly, thorough and worked well as a team.
I am so incredibly happy our road trip brought us to this little gem. You will never have a cup of coffee, latte, or anything really made with more love than you will here. That's what makes this place so special. The drinks and such aren't anything to write home about. But the place, mission, and people are. This is a wonderful space that allows individuals with down syndrome to work, serve and interact with people. This place will absolutely warm your heart. Spot by and support this wonderful place, if you get the opportunity to!
