    The 5 star review is entirely based on their star employee Domini. Everytime she’s working the store is spotless and well organized - great customer service as well!

    I liked the tart flavor, but honestly was quite expensive even for froyo and many of the machines were not operating well (i.e leaky, not coming out solid)

    sticky floors, messy topping stations. the employees are all just checked out. a bit disappointing to see my little girl be excited about getting a treat only to be met with unsmiling, apathetic energy on the other side of the counter

    I would never visit here again. Me and my partner visited today and we were so disappointed. First things first: the bathroom is absolutely disgusting. The garbage can was filled to the top and there was paper towel with feces on it visible nearly falling out of the garbage. The top of the garbage can was filthy and the toilet paper roll was rested on there. There were probably a dozen flies in the bathroom so I ended up not using the bathroom. The store had a bunch of flies near the toppings as well. I wish I recorded everything. This froyo was not pleasant on my stomach nor was it tasty. I regret it and wouldn’t return. Staff was friendly though.
