    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!

    Locals who are hooked on this place, get a gift card from them for $25 or $50 and use it instead of cash when you go. You get a percentage off future visits with points you earn using the gift card.

    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.
