Owner is a true hero of the community. I support any business who cares for the community in quiet, unsung ways.

I'm torn on this review.. giving it 3.5 stars. The shop is cute, we showed up on a weekday and the employees were nice. They let us sample, and were patient with us and our kids. Of course the kids wanted cones. I asked for a single scoop in the cone, but they said "we only have one size for cones." Ok... so I get two cones for my kids. It ends up being massive double scoops for a whopping total of $24!! I was stunned. That's the same cost as a good pint of ice cream! It was good quality but nothing soooooo amazing? It melted so fast too. I was disappointed about the hidden cost, but I know their rent is probably expensive and the gelato was good.

Such a good vibe! I loved their s'mores latte so much, that I went four different days to grab a cup. The service staff was extremely kind and always helped with a smile. I loved the ambience in this restaurant/bistro. They also had different sweet treats like gelato, Pastries and chocolates. I noticed usually in the late afternoon they were pretty busy. It's always a good sign when I see a bit of a line! I genuinely enjoyed this place! Can't wait to return.
