"Probably one of the best Ice Cream-shops in the world!🌍🌴!
Arrived from Sweden and ordered the "Orange Dream" 🍊 Flavour . Best Ice Cream by far, the best IceCream flavour I have ever tasted.
Even the vanilla flavour was great. Extremely kind staff, and clean local.
Next time I visit USA i will come back to this place just for the perfect Icecream."

"Probably the best strawberry ice cream we have ever tried. We also enjoyed the Kahlua krunch and salty turtle. We were greeted with a smile and offered plenty of time to sample as many flavors as we wanted."

"I visited this gem after a day at the beach. It’s located Southbridge Mall. We came to have lunch at Anna’s Deli and afterwards walked a few feet to get some ice cream. The flavors here are very unique and you’re more than welcome to sample some.
The service was A+ he was so helpful and even helps us make a decision. I went with a classic waffle cone and Cannon Fodder and my bestie had a affogato with Kahlooh (I know I botched the spelling. They over plant base options and even asked if allergies were an issue. I was very impressed.
They also offers shakes, smoothies and coffee in an array of options. The shop is a decent size and has seating in and out doors."
