Absolutely love this ice cream parlor. It's definitely premium quality, the very nice lady who attended us went above and beyond for our orders. She made sure to get every extra detail all my daughters wanted for their order's even though they were all over the place. The establishment is very clean, they have a clean restroom. The tables were all clean, and super nice open seating area. They have lots of parking to choose from and its free parking, no meters. They have a little photo station area where you can take pictures of your kids with a nice background of their logo and ice cream cart. Definitely recommend this location to anyone they will not disappoint.

Great, friendly, and professional employees here. The ice cream flavors are fresh and delicious. My favorite is the rompope, which is Mexican eggnog, and is the only kind of eggnog you'll find in any kind of store, any time of the year. The prices here are very reasonable. I highly recommend.

Let me tell you!!!! SO MANY DELICIOUS ice cream flavors to choose from! Staff is very amicable and as soon as you walk in they welcome you in. It’s a bit out of my way but for that Yogurt de Fresa con GRANOLA I can sacrifice a bit.
