| - My first visit here was not very impressive. At all. The people in front of me took so long to order - they just stood there marking their menus and made it obvious they were not moving. Whatever. I ordered green tea and was not impressed in the least.
So why am I giving it 5 stars? Because my second time it was phenomenal. My fiancé had the same experience too -- first time boo, second time addicted.
Both times the service was wonderful - the employees are all extremely nice very helpful. You can tell they have a passion for the product, which is great when you are overwhelmed with all the decisions.
There IS a sign that says your ice cream can take a few minutes because it is made from scratch, so that is fair enough. Worth every salivating second you have to wait, too! Besides, if you get bored while waiting you can watch the ice cream being made! It's pretty fun. I also usually go with friends so we just chat and it's not a big deal.
My new addiction when I come here is pistachio with coconut milk and pistachio chunks in it, gluten free waffle cone, and coconut whipped cream. Holy goodness, Batman.
Also! If you join their mailing list, you get 10% off. You tweet your order, you get a discount (free topping is it? I can't remember). There is a stamp card for frequent patrons. They are on LivingSocial and Groupon pretty often (it was today's Groupon, actually). So, while the price can seem a little much, you have to realize you are literally making your dessert. You know every single ingredient in it as opposed to that processed stuff at any other place. AND they have made efforts to give discounts for those who do minimal research for it. For all that, I give it 5 stars.
