    The yogurt was good, but the cashier didn't take the scale when he rang up my cone. Also, how do you have the audacity to have a tip screen at check out when I serve MYSELF?

    Came from Springfield Massachusetts today and was craving this ice cream a lot, I already knew what I wanted and asked the lady if I can just take the ice cream real quick because I came from far and she just closed the door on our face and let two couple in. I explained to her that I came from far and the app said it closed at 11 and she said she didn’t care. Super bad service.

    I was there last time and there were no issues, but before that, when we got ice cream the guy who took the medicine ney from is and other people got spoons, held them where the food goes with his very dirty hands and then put them in our ice cream cups filled with ice cream. It was disgusting, we had to throw away the ice cream we paid over $20.00. ice cream is ok, they make the money from toppings, th toppings are in the open and not hygienic at all.

    It’s like your local Froyo world ! The best flavor in my opinion was the Nutella. They even have oatmilk based Froyo options. And they have this unique ‘Hazelnut Crunch’ topping it was phenomenal !!! Very popular spot it’s always packs in the summer.
