★★★★★ 5.0 Rose Co · Jan 2026

Literally some of the best ice cream we’ve ever had. It was so good we went twice in three days! Some standout flavors were the chocolate ice cream with brownies and the 20-80 (it was a caramel ice cream base that was outstanding). The first night we went one of the kids working was a bit rude but second night the girl working was much nicer.

Stopped by while visiting Santa Cruz and it was fantastic. We tried the lavender, cardamom pistachio, and Irish coffee flavors.All were delicious and really unique. The staff were super friendly and very generous with samples, which made it fun and easy to decide what to get. Great vibe overall. Definitely one of the best spots we tried while in the area.

Really nice ice cream. Lots of flavors available, we selected chocolate brownie sundae with vanilla beans ice cream. Nice brownie and vanila ice cream was perfect in tase and not too sweet.

The staff was friendly. There’s so many flavors and they let you sample as many as you’d like. I’m glad the cold weather didn’t stop us from visiting.

A must have when Im visiting Santa Cruz. This is some of the best ice cream I have ever had in my life. Awesome portion size and terrific flavour selection. The sundaes are wonderful too! I tried the pineapple coconut and rootbeer float icecream as well as the hot fudge and marshmallow sauce.
